FATHER DAY
ESTABLISHED
3 YEARS AGO

Fathers day was proposed and
sponsored by Mrs. John Bruce
Dodd of Spokane, Wash, over
twenty years ago.
Mrs. Dodd was supported by the
ministerial association and the Y.
NJ. c. A. which brought her idea
to the attention Of the people Of
the United States.
Fathers day was first cehbrat-
ed on Sunday in June. 1910, by
Mrs. Dodd and her supporters who
thereafter continued each year to
celebrate it on the third Sunday
in June. Mrs. Dodd still resides in
Spokane, Washington.
In 1913 the state of Delaware
granted a charter to Charlotte X.
Kirkbride, c.. Carrie Sternberg
and others for the celebration of
Fathers day on q Sunday in June
each year. -
On October 2, 1913, Represent
tative J. Hampton Moore of Penn
sylvania introduced bill in con-
gress providing that a Sunday in
June each year thereafter be .des-
ignated as Fathers day but def
mite action was not taken ..
! In 1919 Representative Smell in
troduced resolution in congress
for the purpose Of making hOli-
day to father in June. The resolu-
ton was lost because many news
papers opposed another holiday.
In 1921 the Greeting ard associ-
alton called in conference repre-
sentatives of. group of support
ing newspapers for the purpose of
deciding upon an exact day and
month in which the celebration
should thereafter be set
/ The same year-in 192l-the
National Fathers Day association,
Inc, was originated by the former
Miss Kathryn Swineford of Drew
RVS Bluff, Va. A proclamation
was issued by Governor E. Lee
Trinkle, a Virginia. charter grant
ed and the third Sunday Of each
June designated as National Fa-
theirs day. 1t has since then been
so promoted.
That body decided and set the
third Sunday in June each year
as Fathers day and received the
approval of Mrs }Dodd.

MUTUAL BANKERS
HOLD SYSTEM BEST
$4,000, ,000,O 600 Deposits
Represented at National
Conference.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
SwAMPSCOTT, Mass. May 24.-The
mutual principle of banking was lauded
as "the soundest known to this or any
other country" at the opening of the
thirteenth annual conference of the
National Association of Mutual Saw
1ngs Bank here today.
The bankers attending the confer
ence came from 18 States and repre-
sented 100000 depositors and about
$4,000, GOO 900 in deposits
Myron F. Converse, president OF the
Savings Banks Association of Massa-
chusetts and head of the Worcester
Five Cents Savings Bank, welcomed the
visiting bankers.
In my opinion he said in a pre-
pared address, mutual savings banks
have first demonstrated during the past
IS years that the mutual principle in
banking is the soundest known to this
or any other country
He estimated that mutual savings
banks, in the 13 years from 1920 to
1888, had grown from SIS ,058, ,282 900 in
deposits to almost $4,000, 100000.
I'VE live in a period of experiment"
he said, when every institution is sub
jected to the fever for change, not
excepting the good American dollar.
Therefore the mutu:l savings banks
may take special satisfaction in the fact
that they have changed little. I think
particularly of the savings bank dol
lar, which continues to we worth 100
cents
Wilson G. Wing, president of the
national association, pointed to the
record of mutual savings banks as the
high light "of the deiationary period"
In a prepared speech Wing said:
1.-THE entry in a savings bank passbook
Is one value that had not declined.
. = {" Today the mutual savings banks
hold the strongest position in more than
q century of existence"

C,C.C. WORKER WRITES
THANKS TO ROOSEVELT

ALEXANDRIA, La. (UP).-A
Young worker in the reforesta-
ton army was so overjoyed at
getting a job that he sat down
and wrote President Roosevelt his
feelings.
The young man, who refused to
sign his name to the letter be-
cause 81 didn't want my buddies
to think I was trying to get per-
sonal publicity" related how ne
had gone hungry many days, and
had lost my "self respect" tramp
ing the streets in search of en-
ployment. =,
When he obtained job in the
forest service, the young man was
unable to restrain his feelings, so
he wrote President Roosevelt as
follows:
81 believe l am voicing the sem
timents of every man in this camp
and of our families, when l ask
our great, just God to bless you
and spare you for the people OF
America, for we need you, Mr..
Roosevelt, greatly.
Throughout this camp and this
section 1 have frequently heard
the words, "Thank God for Frank
lin Delano Roosevelt"
The young man told the Presl-
dent that a continuance of condi-
tions existing before he took office
would have resulted in young men
of America losing faith in their
government and civilization.

Istruction or Improvement Of num-
erous new roads, ask the bridges
be rebuilt or widened or that ex-
isting roads be relocated or
Strengthened. It must also near
many complaints about prisoners
and the location of prison camps.
While no action has as yet oeen
taken by the new commission WIN
regard to any division Of autnor-
ity between Chairman Jeffress
and Executive Director Pou, most
opinion in informed circles here IS
that Chairman Jeffress vii! de-
vote the greater portion OF ms
time to directing the new Sll'-
600 900 highway construction pro-
cram with Federal funds and that
most of the maintenance work, as
well as the supervision of all the
prisoners, will be placed under the
direction of Pou. Another factor
that tends to make this a logical
division of the duties of the COM
mission is the recent serious ILL
ness of Chairman Jeffress and the
necessity for him to be relieved of
some of his past responsibilities.
II is also maintained that the di-
rection of the new Federal Aid
highway building program is going
to be a man sized job in itself and
that this alone will occupy most
of Jeffress' attention.
Since Pou has never had any
actual experience in supervising
road constructions or malnten-
ance, some have wondered whether
or not he would be put in charge
of the maintenance end of the
highway work. 1t is conceded, of
course, that he is intimately famil-
lar with the job of handling all
types of prisoners and that he has
been unusually successful in deal
ing with all kinds of prison prob
lens. Since prisoners are used ex-
clusively on maintenance work,
with no new construction work
done with prison labor, the hand
ling of maintenance along with
the prisoners is a natural Sc
quence, it is pointed out. Those
who know Pou maintain that even
if he doesn't know much about
maintenance now, it will not take
him long to learn all about it.
They also believe he will be able
to get a maximum amount of
work out of the prisoners at a
minimum amount of expense to
the state, which is what both Gov
ernor Ehringhaus and the taxpay-
ers want. In fact, the reason the
1888 general assembly passed the
act consolidating the highway and
prison departments, was that it
believed the two could be operat-
ed as a single unit much more eco
nomically than as two separate
departments. 1t is now up to this
new commission and to Jeffress
and Pou to see that this is done.

nr;soners are in the county Jalls
now than in years, especially prs
oners awaiting trial, according to
| I, G. Whitley, prisons Inspector
for the State Board OF Charltles
and Public Welfare. One reason
for this is undoubtedly the in
crease in employment within the
nast month or two. Part of it is
also undoubtedly due to greater
leniency on the part of the courts
towards petty offenders Whitley
thinks. -.
G" was in Craven county last
week. and there were only i've
prisoners in the entire jail" Whit
| lev said. "a few days before that
there was only one prisoner in the
iail. There was only one prisoner
in the Pamlico county Jail when
I visited it last week and in all
the jails l visited in the eastern
part of the state there were fewer
prisoners than can recall in sew
eral years. :,
81 asked several of the jailers
what they thought were the rea-
sons for this decrease. Some said
fewer arrests were being made for
petty law violations than formerly
and that the courts were more
lenient towards those guilty OF
only petty crimes. Others thought
that the increase in employment
had a good deal to do with the
situation, since if people are busy
at work they do not have either
the time or inclination to break
the law and get into trouble"
Another reason for the decrease
in the Jail population over the
state is the law passed by the 1888
general assembly providing that
all prisoners with sentence of 30
DAYS or more shall be sent to the
State Highway prison camps,
Whitley agreed. But in normal
times they are still many prison
ers serving terms of 80 days or
less in jails. Since no women prls-
oners can be sent to prison camps,
they must serve their terms in
iails. As a result, a large number
of the prisoners now in county
iails are women, Whitley said.

RALEIGH, July 12.-The con-
solidation of the administration OF
the states highways and the
states prison system under a SIN
gle board is at last a reality. Inc
new State Highway and Public
Works commission has taken over
the control of these two agencies
and its members were formally
sworn in. They Immediately got
down to business setting up the
organization for carrying out the
work it has to do. E. B. Jeftress,
chairman of the old State Highway
Commission, was elected chairman
of the new commission, while
George Ross Pou, former Super
intendent Of the State Prison, was
selected as Executive Director of
the new commission, in which role
he will act as next in authority to
Chairman Jeffress.
The new commission has the
biggest Job before it of any state
division, and becomes the largest
single branch of the state govern
ment. Here are some of the prin-
cipal tasks the new commission
must perform:
Maintain more than $4,000
miles of highway in the state.
Supervise the expenditure of
S11, 100000 of Federal funds in
the construction of new highways
and the improvement and rebuild
ing of old ones under the Indus
trial Recovery Act.
Feed, clothe, house and provide
employment for more than 5000
prisoners.
Coordinate the former State
Highway Prison System, previous
ly limited to short term prisoners
sentenced for midemeanors, with
the State Prison System, formerly
composed entirely of prisoners
sentenced for felonies and work
the longer term prisoners from the
State Prison on the highways as
well as the short term prisoners.

ment, including all maintenance,

 Salvage work on sunken steamer Islander, near Juneau, is progress ing smoothly and it will not be long before the crew will be in position to start raising the craft wrecked in 1901.
 Opposition to the levying of li- cense fees on vehicles making use of the Richardson Highway will be continued by the Fairbanks City Council.
 Twenty eight people from Mile 2, Cordova radio station, left there recently for the states following the closing of the radio station. The equipment has been left intact.
 Imposition of federal tolls on the Richardson Highway, a suggestion for changing the schedule of train service on the Alaska Railroad so its regular weekly passenger trains will arrive in Fairbanks Saturday afternoon instead of Sunday after noon, and an announced reduction in the rail freight rate on gasoline were the principal subjects dis cussed by directors of the Fair banks Chamber of Commerce re- gently.
