per month does that include everything that includes all charges Insurance finance charges and license transfer well that's certainly a beautiful car the one thing I want to ask you about this clip the lines on this and you say it's a 47 seem almost identical to the 49 yes this 47 automobile is identically it has the lines of any other 4 49 automobile on the road today we have the ride Between the Wheels which we don't get until n49 on any other model we have a spring reaction in the front which gives us our ride in quality which we do not get on other models until on our 1949 automobile mhm but now uh this price again you say includes everything now is that license plate tax insurance and all any fees that might be added there that includes all charges well that's certainly amazing to me and uh that's the television offer that you're making at 26th and Broadway here at the Henry J Kaiser Motors lot is that correct yes sir well thank you very much Cliff for being our guest on

really tell so come out to 26th and Broadway here in Oakland at the Henry J kaer Motors store and lot and try this used car see for yourself why it's one of the best buys of the day well we'll see you next Wednesday night at 8 on tours good night for a real close close up look at the Vagabond and traveler and the complete line of Kaiser and Fraser automobiles visit the Henry J Kaiser Motors post and vaness in San Francisco 23rd and Broadway in Oakland and 1865 University Avenue near Grove in Berkeley ready are you ready on the right on the left ready on the firing line fire as youed continue on Al are you all through firing aliy order completeing [Music] firing unad dump your a noisy introduction to another telet trip ladies and gentlemen as the officers of the Oakland Police Department move into position for their qualifying rounds here we're going to let you talk to Sergeant seone doc they call him come on up doc let's talk to the people watching their television screens now and explain what this is just all about are they going to fire some more at the moment is that right fire the second uh stage of firing five shots from all right we'll hold off because of course we can't compete with all the noise uh where are we located first of all uh we're out at the uh Oakland Pistol Club which is in the uh Zoological Gardens of Alama County uh this is a private club and the Oakland Police Department uses it for their qualifying and practice purposes looks like they're about to start so we'll momentarily keep quiet if we uh should we move back here then we can hear what the are you ready on the right ready on the left ready on a firing line fire [Applause] [Applause] are you all through firing firing unload reer and dump your bread does that do it for for the moment there doc that doesn't well so come on up again we'll get close to the screen we like people to look at you primarily because you're wearing a piff helmet we want to find out what the PFF helmets are for uh what is the purpose of all the helmets that the men are wearing well you notice that all the fellas that wear these green helmets are standing behind the line uh they're the instructors uh who uh Aid the men in any uh point that they might need in uh perfecting or improving their shooting I see let's walk up and find out what's going on right here uh just what is the uh you'll notice that the uh targets are being scored at this time and they uh uh count each hit as 10 points uh the men in the green hats are the scores and of course they have to be very accurate because this is their qualifying score for the Department all right let's see how our boy did up here there's one that's pretty close to your screen here how did he do right here disturb uh he done very good here you see he got all of his shot in and he helped him in a close group in the midsection of the body and he's pasting pasting the holes and now then he's pasting the holes up black paper with black paper so that he can continue to fire on the same Target with the rest of the shoot what is the score that's supposed to be attained is on this one there is a 100 if they shoot this one correctly it's 100 uhhuh and uh the men come out here about how often well they are here twice a year twice a year for their qualifying shoot once in the spring and once in the fall what do they have to do to qualify well a uh qualifying score is 305 out of 400 which is possible of course many of them shoot better than that and uh in order to make the police pistol team they shoot about 395 or better gee that's excellent uh well then are the men of course you yourself are a member of the team as well as being what in charge of the Armory and several other things well uh I don't actually Take A Part in in shooting on the team but I am the manager of the team I see I notice the men have moved back to a little uh greater distance what is that s well the purpose of that is to uh fire their next stage of fire which is point shooting or the type of shooting a man would probably do on the job such as uh drawing the gun quickly and uh aiming and firing uhhuh well I don't say justest that was hip firing that we saw yes that was hip firing yeah now uh what are we about to see here where this uh stage here is from the 15 yd line which is approximately the distance uh across an average Street and uh it simulates firing at someone who uh probably is firing back or uh just running away uh and being chased by a police officer or fired at by a police officer I see all right is this a technique that's completely different uh we feel it we originated it here uh and uh it has certainly met with the approval of all the department and uh we find that some of our boys were a little weak on this stage in the past but they've certainly come up all right let's s back here it's going to be kind of noisy now what do they do they're loading at the moment do they also draw from The holster as they did previously yes they do they uh load five rounds and Holster uh back into the regular position that they carry their gun and and then at the command fire they draw and in 10 seconds uh they have to fire five rounds each uh hit is scored and uh they have a possibility of making 67 points of their total score on this particular stage I noticed that they get excellent instruction uh that is uh is that Sergeant Hunter did you no that's officer Richardson who's in charge of the uh shooting uh the other officers or the other men who are behind the lines uh are officers too of the department and they all are
