Governor Harvey Says a More
Varied Recreation is Badly
Needed.

Columbia, Sept. 30.-Flip-1ops,
hand-springs, somersaults and Gales
themes soon may be added to the
curriculum of the South Carolina
penitentiary if Governor Harvey's
plans are carried out, it became
known here today. The governor told
newspaper men, that he felt that a
more varied recreation program
should be provided for prisoners at
the institution and intimated that
he soon would purchase gymnasium
apparatus and have it installed in
the prison yard.
The governor who visited the
prison yesterday, takes the position
that if the men are given stimulating
recreation during the hours they
are not at work, it will make them
better men.
The governor expects to urge up
on the next legislature a change in
the present system under which
county supervisors car retain con-
victs wanted for road work. This re-
suits in many able bodied men new
er reaching the prison. The governor
would have all long term men sent
to the prison here.
He also probably will recommend
extension of the prison industries.
