French Acadian Villages
Live On in Nova Scotia

AlVS On IN NOVA SCOtld
Although the Acadians were driven
from the famous Land Of Evangeline
In 1745 their traditions and culture
still live on In many a little French
village In Nova Scotia that even now
is. not unlike the Grand Pre- of the
days when France ruled the new land.
Many Of them found their way back
to their beloved Acadia and others fled
to settle in remote parts Of what was
then a wild country.
OF these French villages one of the
quaintest is the little town of Glare
where words written a century ago
by a traveller still hold true today.
This foreign visitor to Glare In 1885
wrote, 1.-THE moment traveller enters
Glare the houses. the implements of
husbandry, the foreign language and
uniform but peculiar dress of the IN
habitants excite his surprise that any
township In Nova Scotia should pos
sess such a distinctive character"
A later visitor to Clare found that
these French Acadians. in the words
of the earlier traveller, "still preserve
their language and their customs with
peculiar attachments and though their
traffic naturally leads them to an in.
tercourse with the English. they never
intermarry with them, adopt their man;
ners or move into their villages. This
does not arise from an aversion to the
English government. but is ascrihahle
rather to habit, national character and
their system Of education"
Few debts haunt these descendants
Of the original French settlers of
Acadia. Their more progressive Eng
lish or Scotch neighbors may use the
tractor and automobile, but for them
the OK drawn pillow and the horse suf
fee. The aura of the romantic land
Longfellow wrote about still hangs
over their villages.

Duty and Joy

1t is the law of God that wherever
there is duty there is also possible joy.
Just as the man who sees foliage
knows that somewhere there must be
water, although his eyes or ears can
not discern 1t, and the trees seem to
grow out of the sand; SO the man who
is sure that in any spot there is a
duty for him to do, knows that there
is happiness for him somewhere in
the doing of that duty. even though for
the present 1t seems to be q dreadful
drudgery.

hilariously for hours at time to

TO AID
IN PAROLE PLANS
AFTER OCTOBER |
Welfare Bodies to Help in
Problems of Men on
Being Released.
SEEK TO CARRY OUT
DETECTIVES OF LAW
Cooperative Schedule Is Not Sub
stitute for Bigger Staff
of Workers.

Plans for cooperation of District
and private welfare agencies with the
District Parole Board in handling the
problem facing prisoners when Iney
are released or paroled, will be placed
in operation October /, Welfare d.
rector Elwood Street announced TO-
day.
The main purpose is to carry out
manay of the objectves OF the DIS
trict parole law which cannot be
achieved by the Parole Board with us
present limited staff. The plan in
wolves careful study Of the criminals,
social and industrial histories OF
prisoners and the development OF
plans for their return to society.
The arrangement has been adopted
by representatives of that District
division, the Travellers Aid Society,
the District Parole Board, the Blu
reau of Rehabilitation, private
agency affiliated with the Community
Chest; the Family Service Association,
the Catholic Charities, the Jewish So
cial Service Agency, Police Depart
ment, as we'll as the workhouse, re-
formatory. Public Assistance Division
ana the District Jail.
Not Substitute Plan.
THE plan is not a substitute for the
ADEQUATE parole staff which the Parole
Board has so urgently requested, but
is an emergency measure to obVlate
some Of the most serious defects
created by the present inadequacy OF
the parole staff" Director Street said.
Under the plan, when a prisoner
becomes eligible for release or parole,
his ease" will be cleared through the
Social Service Exchange. That agency
will ask the public and private welfare
agencies to make home visits. 1t will
ask private family welfare agencies to
look up selected problem cases on
which the social agencies and the
Public Assistance Division have no
past record. 1t will ask the Travellers
Aid Society to gather similar data on
non-residents and the prisoner will be
interviewed for further information.
The social and industrial history of
the prisoner, including his criminal
record, also will be compiled. A parole
plan then will be suggested to the
Parole Board.
To Call Conferences.
The Bureau of Rehabilitation will
call conferences among interested
agencies when necessary to work out
difficult cases. II requested. the Bureau
of Rehabilitation will send social
workers from agencies which have
known the prisoner in the past to ap-
pear before the Parole Board.
If an adequate parole plan has not
been developed when prisoner is re-
leased, the Bureau of Rehabilitation
will see that he is placed in contact
with the appropriate social agency.
The arrangement also calls for a
cooperative study of prisoners while
they are in confinement. The purpose
of this would be to expedite handling
of plans for parole before the time
comes for a man to be released. The
whole parole plan is intended to be
taken over by the whole Parole Board
and prison officials as soon as they
have been provided adequate personnel.

Coin-Slot Parking Devices
Studied for District Streets

said, at Tulsa, Okla, and are being
installed at Houston, Tex.
Van Duzer discussed the scheme in
formally with the Commissioners and
asked for a legal opinion with view
to a formal recommendation.
The traffic director estimates there
are 1900 available parking spaces
along the curbs in the downtown
areas. The devices installation cost
would be $4,000.
Patrolmen Would Be Released.
The theory is that the mechanical
policemen would enable the District
to open wholly restricted areas to
limited parking without the necessity
of assigning many patrolmen to en-
force the regulations.
Van Duzer said the charges for
various parking periods could be
worked out later.
There is some doubt, however, as
to whether the District can legally
collect money for parking on public
thoroughfares. Another question
would be what disposition to make
Of the fees.

KING SEEKS new
DISTANCE RECORD
Takes Off in Same Seaplane That
Set Altitude Mark of
10000 Feet.

Ben King, Washington sportsman
airplane pilot, who shattered the world
altitude record for light seaplanes. of
the fourth category on Tuesday, took
Off from the Naval Air Station at
1890 am. today in an attempt to
establish a distance mark for the
same type of seaplane.
AS this is the first distance flight
ever attempted in seaplane weigh
ing less than $50 pounds, whatever
distance King flies will stand as a
national and world record.
Flying a 36-horsepower Aeronca
carrying only eight gallons of gas
oline, King was flying north and hope
full of reaching Croton, N. Y, on the
Hudson River.
When King climbed to an altitude
of 10000 feet in his Aeronca Tuesday,
the United States again forged ahead
of France in the fight for supremacy
In the air. Uncle Sam now holds A
air records, while France holds 43.
Besides the altitude record, King
also is credited with three other world
records, those for distance in light
seaplanes Of the first, second and
third categories.
