be foolish not to acknowledge frank
" that we are in the midst OF great
economic difficulties. But II Is inf
nisely more foolish for anyone 10
think we will not grow out OF them.
"fn some ways tho situation is
more difficult than that following
the civil war. because today our eco
nomic machinery is more intricate
and less easy to adjust. Also we
are dealing with world situation
and not a domestic situation alone.
Great as our difficulties have
bcen and are. we have much upon
which to congratulate ourselves. For

Probation Officer Swasey
Has Interesting Report

Guy H. Swasey, parole officer at
the Reformatory for Men at SOu,ll
Windham. in his annual report which
has been filed with the Governor and
! Council. says that unquestionably
the probation period is one of para
mount importance in the life of an
! offender of the law.
During this period he is placed on
his own resources, and he must
prove that he is able to cope with So
ciety and earn an honest livelihood,
or falling below these requirements,
he is returned to the institution to
begin anew" says the report.
strength of character and inde-
pendence can only be attained
through self reliance and RESPONSE
bilities. Thus stress should be laid
on the parole department of the in
stitution that nothing should be lack
ing in giving every paroled man am
pie opportunity and a fair chance to
succeed.
when took over the work Of this
department Dec. II. 1920, there were
on parole in good standing five men
/ and one man had been previously
paroled and returned to the institu-
/ ton as parole violator or the five
on parole, one was a mere boy who
continued to remain at the institution
to work his board and attend pub
lie grade school in Gorham, from
which he was graduated this spring.
During the remainder of the year IA
other inmates have been placed on
parole, only two of whom have had
to be returned because Of violation of
our parole regulations.
"As one year is held as the mini
mum length of our parole period, we
have had no discharges from this de-
partment.
due to the general unsettled in
dustrial conditions of the past year.
it has been rather difficult to find
suitable employment for all OF our
paroled men. but to date we have sue
ceeded in placing every man whom
the trustees have voted to parole.
"Of the IS now on parole in good
standing. six are employed on farms
for others. one works on his own
farm, one is store clerk, two are do
ing repair work for a street railway,
one is fisherman, one a carpenter.
one truck helper one working for a
real estate company, one working in
a mill and one attending school.
After the board Of trustees has
voted to parole man from this in
stitution and before he is placed on a
job. the parole officer advises him of
the kind of work he is to- be employed
at. the living conditions and the
environment of the place where he is
to board. the wages to be received.
and counsel is given in regard to
probable expenditures. habits OF saw

friends to make.

Extraordinary Just the
Word for "The Scoffer'

If ever a production could fittingY
he described by the word 'eXtraorf-j
nary" then "The Scoffer," the Alan
Dwan production for First National
to be seen at the Colonial theatre TO-
day is that production. "The Scott
fer" is remarkable in every way-lh
theme and in the truly great cast as
sembled to give it adequate presenta'
ton. Then. too. Allan Dwau, me
master genius of the screen, directed
the photodrama.
In the company presenting thls
great play are Mary Thurman
James Kirkwood, Bernard Dunnins
Philo Mccullough, Rhea Mltcheis
Noah Beery and others.
The story of The Scoffer" Is one
that will compel and grip where otn'
er photoplays may have failed to IN

he thought his friend and by Allce
/ Porn, a love- -profligate. So great u
the impression these two make on ths
physician. that he becomes Nerlla'
hle od-denying man. The marhe,
of his awakening is one of the mos
dramatic episodes yet depicted on tt'
screen. while every incident In t'e
story is presented with an art anu
