Erect New Poor Farm

Each inmate gets half an ounce
Of butter a week and sometimes an
ounce of oleonargarine.
The COWS are kept principally for
the benefit of the superintendent
and help who are fed in the admin
istration building"
The jury made these recommend
ationS:
That the county commissioners
develop some plan of properly su-
perViSing the poor farm.
That the commissioners sell the
present high-priced infrmary land
and erect new poor farm on
cheaper land If arrangements can
not be made to care for the county's
homeless in other county institu-
tions.
That two nurses be employed,
proper ventilation provided the SICK
ward, the diet kitchen used and
proper food be prescribed the sick
by a qualified physician.
That whole milk and more but
ter be served all inmates.
That two different articles of food
beside butter be served at each meal.
That an experienced cook be en-
ployed.
The present grand jury inveStiga-
ton of the ilf1rmary was ordered
by Judge Collins when the preced-
ing jury recommended more thor
ough probe than it was able TO give.
Probe Followed Complaint
The first jury probe followed
numerous complaints by inmates to
The Times, the state board Of char
ities and commissioners and publi-
cation by The Times of the unfor-
tunate inmates story of the scanty
and poor quality food they we're
forced to eat.
John v. Carter is superintendent
of the infi1nary. He and mem
bers of his family draw total salaries
of $500 year for management Of
the institution. He is paid $i25 a
month; his son, Byron, who is as
sistant superintendent, $50 a month;
Mrs. John Carter, listed as nlatron,
$50 month; the sons wife, listed
as assistant matron, $45 a month.
In addition they are provided
their living quarters in the admin
istration building and eat at the
administration building table.
where, according to the jury's re-
port, the best OF the food bought
by the county for the poor farm is
served.
George Snider, president Of coun-
ty commissioners, declared he be-
lieved the jury went "a little too
strong on some things
Some Of the things criticised have
been remedied since the first OF this
year, he said. Snider and Charles
0. Sutton, another commissioner,
conferred, and announced they
would ask county councils for funds
to employ a nurse.
Can Not Sell Land
There is no possibility OF selling
the poor farm land because no one
would buy it, they said. The only
means of moving the infirmary to
other quarters would be to force the
state to take care Of the insane pa
tients at Julietta and move the in
there.
They dispatched Hans Clausen,
county maintenance man, 10 the in
frmary to attempt TO remedy build
ing faults mentioned.
Snider indicated there is little
likelihood Carter will be removed as
superintendent, at least Immediately,
but declined TO discuss that angle
further because of the absence OF
John Shearer, third commissioner,
who is sick at his home.

LASS OF ID LOOMS
AS GOLF CHAMPION

BY the Associated Press
The playtime of life is being used
to mold a 9-year girl into the
ways Of golf with the women's cham
pionShip as her goal.
Little Clara Calender of Del Monte,
Calf, not much taller than one Of
the clubs she swings, has been prac-
ticing steadily for two years. Her
father. Eliot Calender, professional, is
her teacher and the winding fairways
of the Monterey Peninsula Country
Club course her outdoor classroom.
Two hours practice after school is
the routine under which Clara has
changed from an awkward little girl to
one whose straight shots and noticeable
form promise to graduate her with the
degree of golfing celebrity. Her prog
ress was outlined sharply during the
recent Del Monte women's champion
ship, when she shot 81, 5<--l08, a
score that put her in the van Of many
of her elders who have been playing
for years.
Although but fiedgling, she hits
her wood and iron shots as far as the
average woman golfer, and the ball
usually Is down the middle" She
has been taught an upright swing, full
pivot, and is carefully coached on body
balance
Her father hopes to have Clara play

Tales of a Wayside Tee
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

An open golf championship can
swing on the smallest turn in sport. 1t
can be won or lost by the margin of
split inches, by less than half an inch.
A cuppy lie may decide the issue be-
tween two men.
A putt that quivers on the lip of the
tin and doesn't drop may tell the story.
Or 30-footer that happens to scram-
BILE in may decide the result. A long
iron may just fade enough to catch the
corner Of trap, where a foot to the
left would mean par or better.
You won't notice SO much of this
during the first two days, although
every shot has the same value. Each
one counts a stroke. But when the
pressure of the last round arrives on
Saturday afternoon you can then meas
ure results in terms that often seem to
be trifles.
Take the battle of Oakmont in the
open of 1927. Tommy Armour was
breezing along with only nine holes
to go when lady photographer on the
amateur side snapped her camera at
the top OF his swing. The net result
was 6 or q z. Harry Cooper then
had the championship won coming
TO the seventy.hrst green. His drive
was only yards short Of the carpet.
He Clipped Z feet past the CUP. His
