A Man's Work
  The Auxiliary of the Ohio State Highway Patrol


        By Eve Seiter
  The old proverb, "As the
twig is bent, so is the bough",
sometimes applies to organiza-
tions as well as to children. It is
truly apropos of the Auxiliary
of the Ohio    State  Highway
Patrol. The accompanying pic-
t u r e s commemorate   awards
made to the Jefferson County
Auxiliary members for comple-
tion of certain phases of Auxi-
liary training. In this case, how-
ever, pictures cannot begin to
tell the story!
  During World Wiar No. 2,
our nation faced the brutal fact
that enemy invasion of our own
soil was possible. Wisdom seem-
ed to indicate hoping for the
best while preparing for the
worst. As a result the Ohio
Sate 'Highway Patrol Auxiliary
was organized. It drew its man-
power from the American Le-
gion on a strictly volunteer
basis of service without remu-
neration. The stipulations still
prevail   The area of its work
has expanded to the natural
needs or threats of peacetime.
  Today 5000 men actively serve
in   the Ohio Auxiliary. The
county   groups meet once a
months to follow     stipulated
courses of training which must
be completed under penalty of
being placed in reserve status.
There are Auxiliary groups in
each county of Ohio meeting
approximately nine months of
the year. Each local Post Com-
mander of the Highway Patrol
is responsible for t h e county
groups under his command.
  Post Commander      Sergeant
William McCleery trains both
Jefferson and Harrison County
groups. The organization rough-
ly follows the organization of
the   Highway    Patrol  itself.
These men are trained to assist
in routine assignments, special
events, large scale searches, dis-
asters  or   wherever     their
services are needed. They are
taught first-aid skills, to handle
traffic and the run - of - mine
duties of an Officer. Their in-
struction  delves deeply into
such basics as these listed in the


index of the. training Manual:
Laws of Arrest, Rules of Evi-
dence Bill of Rights, Criminal
Statutes, Criminal Procedure,
OI  i4rs's Conduct on the Wit-
hsi  p tand, Control of Panic
1hav or in Disasters, Search
for Missing or Lost Pesons,
vd';lv   .Course (though Aux-
Jiliary  mitiber- carry no fire
a r ms), Search   and Seizure,
escription   of  Persons   and
Keeping of Notes. One can easi-
ly see that the Auxiliary is pre-
mised on intelligent maturity
of thought and action.
:The responsibility for the de-
V01opment of such a group is


heavy. This writer was inter*
ested in discovering the person-
ality of the man who has the
sole control of its training and
function. Post Commander Ser-
geant William   McCleery is a
Veteran of the war and of the
Ohio State Highway Patrol. He
has served with the Ohio State
Patrol for 17 years, coming to
the Jefferson   County   Patrol
Post on Cadz Road two years
ago from   the Ohio Turnpike.
Sergeant McCleery i s Scotch-
Irish, softly spoken and courte-
ous as befits an Officer. He
feels he reached his lown matur-
ity at the close of the war
when he decided he would like
to earn his livelihood in a way
which "helped    peolpe". T h e
Highway Patrol accepted him
and he has made of his work a
true profession., Sergeant M c-
Cleery has profound beliefs., He
"loves people". His conversa-
tion reflects h i s understanding
of the problems and sorrows a
man of his profession encount-
ers. He sees much of the seamy
side of life but he knows that
"life is beautiful". He is a
grateful man who believes that
most of our problems stem
from "just two things,-selfish-
ness a n d greed". Sergeant M2-
Cleery states that most acci-
dents, when boiled down, orig-
inate in selfishness..
  Sergeant McCleery has found
  fulfillment in his work., "We
  don'tmake big money, nor do I
  cry about it", he said, as we
  discussed the rewards of one's
  chosen work. He believes that
  the "work of the Highway Pa-
  trol, honorably performed,, is as
  much a profession as that of a
  lawyer or a doctor."
  This was obvious in the at-
  mosphere of the efficienly op-
  erated Post. Sergeant McCleery
  commands a force of ten uni-
  formed men and three desk dis-
  patchers who are Cadet Train-
ees. These young     men  hold
down the desk to released uni-
formed men for road work,
  In event of the necessary ab-
sence of the Sergeant the Cor-
poral is in command. Should


both be absent t h e Patrolman
No. 2 is in charge.
  One senses an excellent esprit
de corps throughout the entire
organization of the Patrol and
the Auxiliary. In recent years
the Highway Patrol has taken
to the air.,: Planes co - operate
with radio cruisers in speed
control 'of cars. Fully radio
equipped and piloted from Pa-
trol ranks the planes and heli-
copter have become invaluable
in times of trouble and emer-
gencies. An accident occurred
in July, 1962, in which an Aux-
iliary member was injured in a
helicopter crash in Huron coun-

ty. Such is the fellowship of
the entire group that a volun,
tary gift of funds was raised
here in Jefferson county to as-
sist the injuerd Auxiliary mem-
ber from another area.
   The Ohio State Highway Pa-
 trol has been a source of pride
 to Ohioans. Trained to respect
 your rights and mine, to save
 us from ourselves when our
 own judgment is poor and to
 reach forth a helping hand in
 emergency, they serve us round
 the clock. The insidious ad-
 vance of moral decay in areas
 of the public welfare of our
 country  disturbs  thoughtful
 citizens. A Commnuity is no
 better than its leaders, those
 who are responsible for its wel-
 fare. Jefferson County  m a y:
 draw fresh confidence from the
 calibre of the men serving in
the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
of District No. 7. The Auxiliary
trained to assist them reflects
the same high standard of per-
formance. Sir Edmund of Can-
terbury was right when he said
to someone: "Work as though
you would live forever; but live
as though you would die to-
day."


   Council Activities
   A report was made regarding
the proposed sidewalk to the
High S c h o o l. Approximately
1500 feet of walk would be
needed and    the  approximate
cost would be $5000.00.
  A communication from the
regional planning commission
requested  Wintersville to be
represented in a meeting to
consider the d i s t r i c t sewer
problem. Since we already have
a survey under way in Winters-
ville it was decided that we
wait for the results of that sur-
vey before becoming involved
in other planning.
  A   lengthy discussion    of
street repairs was held. Esti-
mates were given of costs. A
number of citizens were pres-
e n t requesting  repairs fo r
streets, sidewalks, etc. It was
revealed that the village can-
not make adequate repairs on
those streets which have not
dedicated to the village until
such action is taken by proper-
ty owners. The date of the next
council meeting has been
changed   and   will meet on
Thursday, April 4 at 7:30 p.m.
