113 131.4906camping trip?132.1120 
114DTA_se3_ag4_m_01132.2675Well, i-132.8509
116 133.2519depends entirely upon the set up. In the Detroit area we had the Detroit Area Boy Scout Camp at Brighton, Michigan.139.6557 
118 140.3408/Charles Hall/ Reservation in those days I think.142.6587 
120 143.0655I was in a troop that was one of the144.4785 
122 145.2091pioneer troops out there that developed- that helped to develop the program there.148.4691 
124 149.6222And, um,150.3379 
126 150.9736course, uh, I-151.4966 
128 151.6740in the troops that I was a member, we always had our own l-154.6495 
130 154.7841particular camping- favorite camping spot.156.9421 
132 157.5211Overnight camps. We would always pick some place w-159.6616 
134 159.9797we- you know, nearby but just enough to give it that162.4139 
136 162.5485wilderness aspect.163.7872 
137DTA_int_03164.0349Uh-huh.164.2827
138DTA_se3_ag4_m_01165.1788And, uh,165.9614
140 167.9647we weren't able to do the real169.9921 
142 170.1787things that we would like to have done because of172.2886 
144 172.4293naturally, money limitations.174.1316 
146 174.5428But we had some real good scouting.175.9952 
147DTA_int_03176.8668Did you ever hunt?177.5300
148DTA_se3_ag4_m_01178.4232Well I tried that one time.180.0993
150 180.2553I'm not too much- I liked, uh,182.0911 
152 183.5317the idea of hunting, but I think I'd rather do it with a camera or something like that. I don't like the idea of killing animals just for the sport of killing.189.7503 
153DTA_int_03190.0378[Yeah.]190.2336
154DTA_se3_ag4_m_01190.2091[I] went one time and191.3591
155 192.0045it doesn't appeal to me.192.9338
156DTA_int_03193.7352What193.9646
158 194.1267kind of weapons did you carry?195.5068 
159DTA_se3_ag4_m_01195.7748Oh, of course I mean, hunting I went with a rifle.198.0228
160DTA_int_03198.2946Mm-hm.198.5732
161DTA_se3_ag4_m_01199.4018Uh, thirty thirty rifle.201.0198
163 201.7106But that was for a week, more or less to be with the fellas that I work with.204.8902 
165 205.1418But-205.4625 
166DTA_int_03205.4691Those are pretty.206.3456
167DTA_se3_ag4_m_01206.6466but, uh,207.5974
169 208.9340I don't think too much of hunting210.4112 
171 211.2764just for the sake of killing animals.212.6497 
172DTA_int_03213.2675Yeah.213.5179
174 214.3253Um,214.6404

184 228.9277typed and229.4734
186 230.2704developed our own equipment. We prepared our own232.7229 
188 232.8667tents or made our own tents.234.1635 
189DTA_int_03234.4812Did you?234.7859
190DTA_se3_ag4_m_01235.0195And, uh,235.9889
192 236.3407everything we did, we did it from237.8696 
194 238.3131right from the beginning. Otherwise we-240.0228 
196 240.5947we build a campsite, we use the natural material on hand.243.4021 
198 243.5332And we were the oldest scout- <laugh> scouters, that old [type scouting.] We don't have that now.247.3018

203 249.6219oh, yes it's hard to find now.250.9003
205 251.5243And, uh, we made our own knapsacks and things like that.254.4753 
206DTA_int_03255.3776[What did you] use for it?256.2305
207DTA_se3_ag4_m_01255.4506[And-]255.7075
208DTA_int_03256.7137On the-257.0504

211DTA_se3_ag4_m_01258.3225yeah, we used it for making tents, we use to get this unbleached cotton.261.5122
213 261.7534Uh,262.2397 
215 262.7642forget what they call it now but, uh, it was unbleached cotton. And we'd take paraffin and- blocks of paraffin and267.3898

224DTA_int_03274.1449[Mm-hm.]274.4235
225DTA_se3_ag4_m_01275.1358And for heavier knap or night- knapsacks and things like that, we usually used an Indian279.6314
227 279.8696frame,280.3956 
229 281.1633uh,281.7206

232DTA_int_03283.1484[Oh.]283.4854
233DTA_se3_ag4_m_01283.7076And then just284.3866

263DTA_se3_ag4_m_01311.0655Yes, scouting was segregated. Although, uh,313.3559
265 313.6189I was in an outfit that, uh,315.2736 
267 315.9124that- in segregation and the racial matters, you reach a point where no-319.0990 
269 319.2886people no longer see your color.320.7322 
270DTA_int_03320.8594/Really/?321.2654

277 325.8942and they don't see you as a Negro or as an Indian or Chinese,328.4415 
279 328.7718you're in a program and you're in- excelling in that program so you get- there you are. So332.6873 
281 333.0992our boys,333.9410 
283 334.6128although all of our Negro boys where y- were used337.4568

287 339.7839group.340.0898

296DTA_int_03345.6065Yeah.345.8271
297DTA_se3_ag4_m_01346.3222And I wasn't training Negro leaders, I was training all white leaders.349.1815
299 350.1450So, uh,350.8912 
301 351.1206we didn't have the feeling of being segregated so much. And we didn't-353.9188 
303 354.3439although we, uh,355.0405 
305 355.1815scouting in those days were definitely set upon a racial pattern.357.6985

1060DTA_se3_ag4_m_011230.7200Oh, I don't know. I've had a yen for philosophy.1233.1235
1061DTA_int_031233.5640[Mm-hm.]1233.8606
1062DTA_se3_ag4_m_011233.8178[And] a yen for archaeology.1235.3678
1063DTA_int_031236.7414Hm.1236.9677
1064DTA_se3_ag4_m_011236.9677I'd possibly go into one of those two fields.1238.7614
1065DTA_int_031239.0471Mm-hm.1239.3025
1067 1240.4597Uh, you wouldn't be interested in something like police ed /would you/?1243.5217 
1068DTA_se3_ag4_m_011244.0225Hm?1244.3283
1069DTA_int_031244.4782You wouldn't be interested in something like police ed, then?1246.7985
1070DTA_se3_ag4_m_011247.9859Yes.1248.5120
1071DTA_int_031248.6531And in teaching it?1249.7829
1072DTA_se3_ag4_m_011250.0439[I- yes.]1250.5730
1073DTA_int_031250.1050[I just think] of it because I wish we had such a school.1252.4689
1074DTA_se3_ag4_m_011252.7992I- yes, because, uh- of course in those days didn't have any courses like that.1255.8175
1075DTA_int_031256.0530Yeah.1256.2335
1076DTA_se3_ag4_m_011256.5026Now let's see, comparatively in the last twenty years. The first one was at Northwestern University.1260.1480
1077DTA_int_031260.6064Mm-hm.1260.8981
1078DTA_se3_ag4_m_011260.9677And if I'd've had an opportunity at that time, I would have possibly gone into- see, police work is my-1265.1846
1080 1265.4109more or less my1266.1266 
1082 1266.7475profession.1267.3985 
1084 1268.5669And, uh, I woulda gone into that.1270.5147 
1085DTA_int_031272.2092Some of my1272.8147
1087 1273.2119best friend- closest friends [are in /police/.]1275.5089 
1088DTA_se3_ag4_m_011274.6678[Mm-hm.]1274.9639
1090 1275.3529[Mm-hm.]1275.5945 
1091 1275.9768Yeah, I, uh,1276.6677
1093 1277.4186I highly recommend it for anyone that's interested in that line of social work.1280.5271 
1095 1281.2428I spent eight years as a police officer myself. And, uh,1284.2917 
1097 1285.0197I had to call in service training courses that I could take Michigan State before they had a police ed course up there.1289.6280 
1098DTA_int_031289.8391Yeah.1290.1583
1099DTA_se3_ag4_m_011290.8117And, uh,1291.4676
1101 1291.9735I definitely would've gone into something like that. No doubt.1294.4536 
1102DTA_int_031296.9921Um,1297.3496
1104 1297.5025but you /unintelligible/ teacher?1299.0370 
1105DTA_se3_ag4_m_011300.1359I [wouldn't-]1300.5056
1106DTA_int_031300.3159[Rather than the-]1300.8157

1108DTA_int_031301.0934[be] in [administration.]1302.1586
1109DTA_se3_ag4_m_011301.8574[well,] uh- let's see, I possibly wouldn't1303.8665
1110 1304.4476administration side of education doesn't appeal to me.1306.8298
1111DTA_int_031307.3772Mm-hm.1307.7167
1112DTA_se3_ag4_m_011307.7595I like teaching.1308.4866
1113DTA_int_031308.8327[Mm-hm.]1309.1018
1114DTA_se3_ag4_m_011308.9734[A-]1309.1385
1115 1309.3924In fact I1310.0286
1117 1312.1661still do some teaching as a- more or less as a1314.9626 
1119 1315.1171hobby.1315.5917 
1120DTA_int_031315.8236Mm-hm.1316.1342
1121DTA_se3_ag4_m_011316.3558I teach a course1317.3743
1123 1317.5700at1318.1607 
1125 1318.7013/RD-WORK-5/ of [course. And] I teach in, uh,1321.5881 
1126DTA_int_031320.0176[Mm-hm.]1320.2556
1127DTA_se3_ag4_m_011321.8940Christian Doctrine and Lay Theology.1323.7230
1129 1324.3343Have been doing that since about nineteen forty-eight.1326.6557 
1130DTA_int_031326.9187Mm-hm.1327.1875
1131DTA_se3_ag4_m_011327.7930So,1328.2641
1133 1328.4139uh,1328.9186 
1135 1329.1113teaching is just a thing that's1330.2945 
1137 1330.4199natural.1330.9714 
1139 1331.3497Course, I married a gal whose family are teachers so we-1333.7716 
1141 1334.1295[we both] are teachers too. And she teaches a class like I do.1337.0194 
1142DTA_int_031334.1815[<laugh>]1334.4034
1143DTA_se3_ag4_m_011338.4141And, uh,1339.2093
1145 1340.3436I think if we'd had anything at all we'd possibly might have1343.2732 
1147 1343.9094studied law together.1345.1660 
1148DTA_int_031345.3679Mm-hm.1345.7133
1149DTA_se3_ag4_m_011345.9643Because1346.5301
1151 1346.6800there is a legal trend, uh, tendency there.1349.1601 
1153 1349.6341Or we've gone in-1350.4660 
1155 1350.5853she wouldn't have gone in for teaching, I would have.1352.3803 
1157 1352.5393She doesn't like to teach on a professional level.1354.7538 
1158DTA_int_031355.4904How do you feel about the1356.7535
1160 1356.9458trend of the1357.6707 
1162 1357.9062recent supreme court decisions?1359.6535 
1163DTA_se3_ag4_m_011359.8117On what?1360.3465
1164DTA_int_031360.4413Toward, uh-1361.0552
1166 1361.4445toward interrogation for-1362.9483 
1167DTA_se3_ag4_m_011363.2517Oh, I think it's cramping their style. The only thing I can say for commendable is that it's bringing us in line of the English,1369.6615
1169 1370.3986uh,1370.9400 
1171 1371.4722basic law1372.4780 
1173 1373.0194for the rights of the individual.1374.3284 
1175 1374.8300However, this is not practical in the United States.1377.1999 
1177 1377.4936I don't think we have reached a point where1379.1019 
1179 1379.4995the citizen is going to respect the law.1381.5147 
1181 1382.0805For the sake of law itself.1383.4839 
1183 1384.5575And til we reach that1385.5026 
1185 1385.6647type of culture and of growth and development,1388.5882 
1187 1389.0684uh, we still have to enforce the law.1390.8366 
1189 1391.2090As long as we have to enforce the law, then we must have some privileges and some rights to do it with.1395.0745 
1190DTA_int_031395.3101Okay.1395.5626
1191DTA_se3_ag4_m_011395.6893I can imagine myself now,1397.3741
1193 1397.9950uh,1398.5058 
1195 1398.8881if I were a police officer now,1400.3597 
1197 1401.2550that all the things I had learned1402.4566 
1199 1402.7563would have to be1403.2457 
1201 1404.1877retrained.1404.8606 
1202DTA_int_031405.6056[Yeah.]1405.8420
1203DTA_se3_ag4_m_011405.7166[Um,] that is that1406.6178
1204 1407.7841I could walk up to a man as a police officer and say-1410.0675
1206 1410.1664show him my badge, and say, I wanna talk to you at the station come along.1412.4170 
1208 1413.3987And he went along. I didn't have to explain to him then1415.4944 
1210 1415.6953why.1416.0715 
1212 1416.3804I could keep him,1417.1354 
1214 1417.5820uh, in the dark for1419.1479 
1216 1420.0410a couple of days before I call him out, and I'd let him1422.0195 
1218 1422.2091ponder in there what it is I was talking about. This was standard technique.1424.7687 
1219DTA_int_031425.0837Mm-hm.1425.3498
1220DTA_se3_ag4_m_011425.4997And I call him out and I'd set him down in the room, and1427.7320
1222 1428.4201I could talk to him in any manner in which I wanted to talk to him. After first telling him of course that he had his rights.1433.3529 
1224 1434.0501Uh. [<laugh>]1435.8511 
1225DTA_int_031435.6658[Yeah.] <laugh>1436.5546
1226DTA_se3_ag4_m_011436.6158But, uh, that didn't mean much.1438.3128
1228 1438.6737And by that time he was scared stiff and would talk. And if he had an attorney, I could1442.0132 
1230 1442.2732run him from place to place without his attorney knowing where he was.1445.0378 
1232 1445.7442And, uh,1446.6189 
1234 1447.2333absolutely and under most circumstances without a court order, refuse to let his1450.6584 
1236 1450.9429attorney see him.1451.5393 
1237DTA_int_031452.0072Yeah.1452.2801
1238DTA_se3_ag4_m_011452.3773See.1452.5822
1240 1452.7963Now this is all done away with, so.1454.2120 
1242 1454.7411[I-]1455.0713 
1243DTA_int_031454.7962[No, I-] I- [some] people have- have suggested that that maybe now it's a question of1459.1037
1244DTA_se3_ag4_m_011455.4312[I think it's-]1455.7867
1245DTA_int_031459.3893whether or not the waiver of attorney was done /unintelligible/. (laughing)1463.5240
1246DTA_se3_ag4_m_011464.0592Yeah.1464.4630
1247DTA_int_031464.4630<laugh>1464.6159
1248DTA_se3_ag4_m_011464.7902That's right.1465.3281
1249DTA_int_031465.6248But they just moved it one step [back.] (laughing)1467.7347
1250DTA_se3_ag4_m_011467.2336[Yeah.]1467.4527
1251 1468.8603I don't agree with all the concepts of the court, although I know from English law that this is right.1473.9917
1253 1475.0927But, uh, I don't think it's practical at the present time and I think it's only aiding and abetting1479.7137 
1255 1480.1389what we have out here now. This type of, uh-1482.6832 
1257 1483.4351uh, /hoodlism/ that we're having where-1485.0715 
1259 1485.2550where1485.6105 
1261 1486.0559a policeman is1486.8022 
1263 1487.2304ridiculed. There's no longer respect for him. I watched this last night,1490.2212 
1265 1491.2397uh, coming home from work.1492.3587 
1267 1492.6859About twelve thirty up past the bar here, and, uh,1495.0410 
1269 1495.5758there was a little disturbance outside the bar and-1497.6648

1273 1499.1386a bunch of Negros involved in this.1500.6984 
1275 1501.4290And they had a scout car and, uh,1503.5261

1285 1508.2732the police officers were attempting to question some people while being heckled by1511.9736 
1287 1512.5302a group of bystanders. Well I can remember if that had been me, I'd have grabbed 'em and I'd stick 'em.1516.0135 
1289 1516.2332Crack somebody across the head, and shoved him in the car, and had it broken it all up. I woulda had no more problems.1520.3710

1296 1525.2486to question the persons and1526.9117 
1298 1527.4905remembering all of their rights and that they had witnesses there who were gonna testify against them if they raised one little finger. And I felt sorry for them.1533.6434

1360 1593.4048I haven't read it.1593.9641 
1362 1594.3250But once in a while there's something of interest that I would read.1596.5831 
1364 1597.1996And that is something if I ever came in contact with, I possibly would read it.1600.0563 
1365DTA_int_031600.3892Mm-hm. My husband's a fan of detective fiction, anyway.1603.4752
