WEST JEFFERSON.
Prison Chaplain
Addresses Club

Rev. c. L. Shields Gives Interesting
Talk on "Remaking of Men" Be-
fore Business Group, Tuesday
The "Re-making of Men" was the
subject Of the interesting and educa-
tional address given by Rev. Curtis
f. Shields, chaplain of the London
prison farm, before the Business
Mems association at the Kaho res
taurant Tuesday evening.
Rev. Shields stated that sin was
the cause of all crime and that only
by eliminating the cause could the
state and society be saved the enor-
nous sum of $29,00O,000 per year
which it costs. This sum does not
include the warehouses;, county jails,
ETC., which would bring the total to
almost double, or nearly $60,000,000.
The chaplain pleaded that society
give the paroled men a chance to
make good, citing the fact that less
than 20 per cent go wrong after be-
ing released. He gave detailed ac-
count of the reformation work that
is being done in the interests of the
prisoners, including the prison school,
library, etc.
Rev. Shields talk was a most in
teresting one and was greatly appre-
ciated by the members and guests.
The round table forum (for'em and
ag'inst 'em) which followed the adj
dress of the evening, proved highly
entertaining with most everything
from politics to religion being dis.
cussed. The arguments waved warm
most of the time and proved that
there are several outspoken men IN
the organization.
The street lighting contract was
the main topic and c. F. Kuehner
who was chairman of the committee
representing the group at the coun-
Gil meeting when the new deal was
discussed, set off the bomb with his
frank report of the doings of the
present council and those of the 1929
council when the original contract
was made. Suffice it to say, the
subject was discussed pro and con By
Kuehner, r. |. Blauser, Mayor Buck
ley and F. G. Brown, president OF
the council. The association voted
to retain the same committee to at
tend the next council manic session
at which time the contract will be
completed, it is thought.
Short talks were also made by
w. H. Pence, Supt. w. B. Cory,
Rev. Floyd S. Webb, r. w. Recob.
Harold Biggert and the guests Of
honor, Charles High, Melvin Elliott
and Carl Byerly.
The meeting, which drew an at
tendance of 46, was one of the most
interesting in the associations his
tory, and was sponsored by DR.. M
N. Gibboney and Earl Scheetz.
The April session will be held at
the White Kitchen and arrangements
will be made by j. d. Baber and Eu-
gene Compton.

The home and all household goods
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Martin, Georg-
esville, were completely destroyed by
fire Wednesday night.
The fire, which is thought to have
started in the kitchen from a defect
i've flue, had gained such headway
when Mr.. Martin was awakened by
the smoke, that Mrs. Martin was
forced to escape in her night cloth
ing from a second story window.
The house, two-story frame
structure, was reduced to ashes as
was the entire amount of furniture.
The loss was partially covered by
insurance.
Residents of the community formed
a bucket brigade and succeeded in
saving the nearby home of Mrs. Dun
bar until the fire department frol.i
West jefferson reached the scene,
after which little trouble was expe-
rienced.

 We readily admit that follow Einstein's soning in a very sketchy manner and we also admit that others do likewise.

You would naturally be very cautious about displaying know ledge beyond that of the average run of people for fear of being condemned for sorcery You would observe physicians performing major operations without anesthetics.

You would find life flowing along in what to you might appear as in very groove.

Watching America.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 Dispatches from abroad Indicate that leaders in many foreign nations watching very closely the gigantic experiment in controlled recovery under way in the United States. The British par ticularly are much concerned with the operation of the National Recovery Act and with the out come of experiment with a managed currency. They not ready to follow suit, however pending some more definite assurance that the improvement in America is lasting
 The British have had sad experiences with public works method of combating unemploy ment. They have been disappointed also in the results of their currency depreciation One cannot blame them, consequently if they prefer to wait and see how much is accomplished in the United State by the novel experiments in progress. Italy and Russia watching with somwehat different emotions. They committed to the concentration of control industry in the hands of government They have progressed, but still are erica to see where their technic has been faulty. Germany likewise has embarked a program of modified naturalization of industry, and has a peculiar interest in the American scheme The more cautious leaders abroad watching one point especially-the relative influences of speculation and sound progress. When security and commodity markets slumped fortnight ago, thoughtful British observers feared that the basis of American recovery speculation, and therefore requiring revision of this view It may easily turn out that success in the American drive will lead several foreign nations to follow example.

 If We base our opinions on this list We shall conclude that farm products, for example, ought either to rise more or that metal pro- ducts and building materials ought to decline somewhat more. These prices are still badly out of bal ance. The list shows, too, that prices have been maintained rela- lively highest in those goods which are least perishable. This means that the producers of the more perishable goods = that is, food and clothing - are earning enough to. build houses and equip them, or to buy machinery and tools in quantity at the prices prevailing. Now, it is no acci- dent that the deepest unemploy- ment and the worst of the indus trial depression is in those indus tries which are at the lower end of the list.
 The N. R. 4. in its admins tration and in it's propaganda should take account of the situa- ton which these figures reveal. I have, of course, for lack of space, given rough summaries, but the general relationships are, l be- lieve, as I have represented them. The broad conclusion to be drawn might be that under the N. R. A. and the agricultural administra- tion some rise in textile prices and in food is justified, that fuels and leather goods ought to be held stable, that the prices of metal products and building materials ought probably to be reduced.
 The alternative to such a dis eliminating control of prices would in all probability be a general defeat of the N. R. A. followed by a spiral of vicious imitation. For unless the prices of goods at | the lower end of the list, which go largely into capital equipment and durable goods, are kept from rising and are in certain fragrant cases reduced, we shall be forced 1 into a movement in which farm prices and industrial wages are for ever chasing other prices and never catching up with them.

in the public land States of the West, so extension |of the principle to Alaska would set new precedent violate any existing ones.
 In its resume. the Commissioners said concisely: Regarding the construction of a high
 way from the northwestern part of the
 United States to Alaska, the Commission
 instructed ito ascertain whether such
 highway is feasible and economically
 practicable and the Commissions general
 conclusion is that the project has both those
 qualifications in view of the facts set forth in this report
 No better time than the present could be found for constructing the project. The Federal Govern ment has millions of dollars available for works of this nature. Hundreds of men could be employed in Alaska in building the portion of the highway from Fairbanks to the Yukon Territory border From standpoint of merit it undoubtedly ranks in the first class. It would take Alaska out of the semoverseas province class and make it integral part of continental United States nothing else could do. It would give a and vigorous life to the automobile tourist travel of the country with almost immeaslrabe benefits to the automotive in- dlstry. And most of all, it would bring to Alaska la type of development it has not yet known and II ay not know for many generations if no such highway is constructed.
