OPPOSES THE HUGHES BILL
Warden Wolfer of Minnesota Prison
Before Senate Committee.

Washington, March 14.-Henry VOL
fer, warden of the Minnesota state
p~enitentiary, appeared before the sen
ate committee on interstate commerce
in opposition to the Hughes bill,
which restricts the sale of convict
made goods.
81 am opposed to this BILL" said
Warden Wolfer, because it would
confine us to selling prison made arti-
cles within the borders of the state.
This would be detrimental, in my
judgment, to the interests of the state,
as 1t would be an inducement to bring
competition into the state from big
commercial concerns elsewhere and
drive us out of business"

Y. NJ. c. A. Notes

The Bowling committee are making
plans for a full season of bowling
this season. The preliminary sugges
tons include a league of six teams
which will be about an average of
the best teams of last seasons lea
que, probably the Pirates, Hillsides,
Big Mil, Baptist church, Elks and
All-Stars Coz some other name for a
new team. Then opportunity will
be given for six or eight teams in
another league which will bowl once in
two weeks. Any groups OF new bow
lers or others who desire TO get in
this league may leave the list OF
names at the Association Office.
Plans for a membership contest
will be formulated Friday evening
around the supper table at $50 at a
special gathering of the membership
committee and several others who
may be interested in that line of ac-
tivity. The fees for membership here
are low enough to reach evey young
man who desires to be at his best in
physical and moral strength. An APP
peal may be made to many new men
who have not been familiar with the
work of the Association by cam
paign OF this sort.
An informal social gathering of the
members Of the association is being
planned for Saturday night of this
week in the lobby Several features
will be provided to interest all groups
including music. story telling and
light refreshments. Make plans to
be present as all members will be in
yited.

which this work has planted in the
town is really having its effect on a
scale quite as extensive as this. In
fact this work. as developed in Ben
nington. has attracted the attention
OF national organizations and has
been the subject OF Investigations by
towns OF similar size in IL states. Ar.
ticles about 1t have also appeared in
i've periodicals OF national circulation
as well as nthe Bennington County
Review.
The Civic League therefore comes
TO you not as an outside organization,
nor as one that is untried. but rather
with practical and successful exper-
fence in social and community work
and as one that is peculiarly demo
cratic and representative Of the peo-
Pile as whole. The appropriation
that IL has had from the village for
the last four years. and its attend.
ance of $4,000, emphasize its public
character and indicate that it is not
seeking personal favor or furtherine
some visionary scheme. Instead of
asking faSors for ourselves, we wish
rather TO cooperate with your board
and out of our practical experience,
and as an organization representing
the people as a whole, to work out
with you suitable plan for the Wild
or use of the school plant. Several
members OF your board have request.
ed that as working basis we submit
a statement of what seems practical
in the Bennington situation. Our pro
posal is twofold.
LIST. Some place suitable for athle-
tic, dramatic and social exercises for
school children should be provided.
Such a provision, with trained SUI
supervisor and one generous citizen
every large school system. One of
our Bennington young men has ac-
cepted such a position in Springfield
this year. The Civic League for the
past two years has provided such a
supervisor and one generous citizen
has provided for the rent of the hall.
In March, 1918, an exhibit of folk
dancing was given in which 800 par
ticipated. This aroused a public APP
probation of its value and since then
it has become an accepted fact by both
parents and children. Now that the
value of the work has been demon
strated and the opportunity is at
hand, it would seem as though the
trustees should at least do as the
head of the parochial school has done
and provide room for this purpose.
The adaptation of the old graded
school hall is a possibility for this
work.
.. The league suggests that upon
application to the school board the
| use of the high school building be al
lowed, when not in use for school pur
poses, as a meeting place for adults
and young people, under the follow
ing conditions:
LIST. That the purpose of the
meetings be approved by the
board.
2nd. That the services Of a
responsible director be provided
at the meetings.
3rd. That the meetings be non
exclusive and free.
4th. That any expense involv-
ed be betrayed by the organiza-
ton holding the meeting.
