DR. CHARLES A. ERTOLA SUPERVISOR INCUMBENT (Paid Pol. Ad) By DICK PATTEN Your closest friend in the radio car is Mike. Look at him, he can save your life. This thought should make you give as much regard to this instrument as you would your own life or the life of your closest buddy. You have seen the microphone almost every day of your life, but have you had a formal introduction? If you have, let me renew your acquaintance. If not, let me introduce you. Mike and Little Mike There are two microphones in most radio cars. For the sake of introduction, let me refer to them as Mike and his brother, Little Mike. Mike, the most frequently used, is the one on the left and Little Mike is the one on the right. Mike and his brother have between them a control panel which has a power switch, volume knob, P.A. switch, channel switch and two indicator lights. Important Uses Mike is used for all radio transmissions while Little Mike is used for the Loudspeaker P.A. System. In order to use Mike correctly, the transmitter switch must be depressed, but care must be used in the depression and releasing of this switch as it has been known to stick in the depressed position, thereby making every word uttered in the radio car a matter of common knowledge. As well as being embarrassing to the parties involved, this also clutters the air and makes transmission by other cars impossible. The Power Switch: The power switch is the toggle switch on the left side of the control panel and is used to put power into the set. When the switch is in the up position, the set is on. The Squelch Knob: The squelch is used in order to clear interference and should be operated in the following manner. Turn the knob all the way to the right, wait for static, when the static comes through loud and clear, turn the knob to the left only as far as is necessary to cut out the Elect TOM GOSLAND Your Supervisor - Will Devote Full Time to Job - (Paid political ado.) How Mike and Little tatic. Do not turn the knob all the way to the left as your best reception is had by just turning the knob until the static clears. If the knob is turned all the way to the left the receiver sensitively is cut down. Channel Selector Switch: The radio car is equipped with two channels, i.e. Channel 1—the switch is placed in the up position. This is the regular channel and is used for all regular police patrol car transmissions. Channel 2: The switch is placed in the down position. This is the emergency channel. Channel 2 should only be used in the necessity of immediate response by headquarters or in the event that headquarters should direct you to switch to this channel. The P.A. Switch The normal position for this switch is in the center. To broadcast over the P.A. the switch is placed in the up position. You will receive normal transmissions and will be able to broadcast by using Little Mike, the one on the right. Benefit basketball game set for PAL On Friday, November 20, the newest entry into the National Industrial League, the A. J. Lefferdink "Investors" will play their first game for the benefit of the Police Athletic League. Phe game will be played against the Kirby Shoe Company of Los Angeles at the USF gym. The Investors are coached by Jim Walsh, a San Francisco standout, who starred for Stanford and later the Phillips Oilers. Jim Walsh's brother, Tom, is a policeman assigned to the Accident Bureau. These teams are made up of former college stars. Both teams play a brand of ball that has become more and more popular all over the country. The tickets will be $1.50 on a general admission basis. They will be on sale at Roos-Atkins and most of the regular box offices as well as available through the P.A.L. There will be no general ticket sale as there is with the ball tickets but it is hoped that the nature of the benefit will put all policemen behind the affair and make it the success that it deserves to be.
