MANY REPLIES
IN PAROLE
CONTEST

When q Judge orders a fairly
convicted criminal to spend the
rest of his life in prison in expia-
ton for some vicious crime against
society, that person should not be
allowed to reenter the world whose
rules he outraged. A life sentence,
in other words, should mean ex-
actly what it says and should not
be made a mockery of through a
wiShy-washy system.
These and other sentiments are
among those expressed by hun
dreds of readers in response to
the offer by The Washington
Times of $35 in cash and 18
tickets to the motion picture
Parole" to be awarded to the
authors Of the best suggestions
for improving our parole systems.
The contest, conducted in con-
nection with the showing of the
film at the RKO Keith's Theater,
beginning tomorrow, Is open to all
readers of The Times. Letters
should be brief and must be sent
to the Parole Editor, The Wash
ington Times, Washington, D. c.,
not later than next Monday noon.
The country'S parole system has
been the object of scathing at
tacks by the Attorney Generals
office and the Department of
Justice for many years. 1t has
been referred to as Americas
sorriest scandal and the chief
source Of it's crime"
First prize in the contest will
be SIS; second, $40; third, $5,
and five other prizes of 81 each.
The next 10 winners will be
awarded two tickets each to the
local showing of Parole" while
the cash winners will also be
given tickets.

Hoey Speaks for
Old Age Pensions

Clyde r. Hoey, Democratic noni-
nee for Governor, principal speaker
on Wednesdays program of the an
nual convention of the North Caro-
lima Association of County Commits
sioners, in AshevilIe, said he hoped
to see a program of old-age security
speedily adopted" in the State.
Noting that "the question of pub-
lie charity requires much considera-
ton. and many expenditures at your
hands," Mr.. Hoey told the county
commissioners:
II am hoping that with the pro-
visions which the State shall make
for old-age security your problem
in this respect will be greatly les
sened."
He said that when legislation is
enacted by the State to provide for
our old people in need who are be-
yond IS years of age, in conjunction
with the Federal government, this
should tend to remove a very large
burden from the counties of North
Carolina, as well as provide security
for our old people, to which they
are clearly entitled, and which I
hope to see speedily adopted and put
into effect"
Mr. Hoey said although the charity
problem would remain, it should
take the form of helping in rehabili-
tating and stabilizing those in need.

\ Due to a number of changes in the

have been reduced recently.
In the past all residential custo-
mers who did not have electric re-
frigerators were billed under a rate

over 100 XIV hours at SC. All resi-

$50, at SC. Under the recent change,
the last rate is available to all re-
CARELESS of whether they have cleo
trio refrigerators or not. This will
mean a saving of around 5000 per
year to homes in Ashe and Allie
ghany. 1t will also mean that more
homes can have electrical appliances
since they can better afford to use
them.
The reduction in small power rates
ranges from IA percent to 80 percent,
and the various consumers in the
city have been given list showing
what amount their saving will be
