lnjure Selves

Dallas, Ca, March 2'.-(AP)-
Warden Arthur Clay, of Georgia's
Little Alcatraz" prison camp here,
said today four long-term convicts
broke their own legs to escape work
in the prison rock quarry.
Clay said each fractured bones
between the knee and ankle Sun

beneath the footboard of his bunk
and twisting himself toward the
floor. The legs were set and the
prisoners were reported resting
comfortably today.
The warden said the, prisoners
were required to work five and a
half days week, about "A hours, and
declared there was nothing unusual
ly hard about the labor but they
just can't take work, they've never
worked in their lives and they'll do
anything in preference to work"
He recalled no similar outbreak
of self-inflicted injury since the
camp was established several months
ago for tough prisoners who had
been trouble-makers at other camps.
Clay added that lone or two" others
of the l48 convicts at the camp
sought to incapacitate themselves
yesterday but failed.

A Weekly Column

Due to the condition of the county
roads after the recent snow, the All
County council meeting, which was
supposed to have been held Tuesday
evening, March 26, has been post
poned until later date.
Project meetings were held at the
various clubs in the county last
week: Monday at Drewry, Wednes-
day at Zeb Vance, Thursday at Ay-
cock, and Friday at Townsville. Miss
Josephine Ranes, assistant home
demonstration agent, conducted
these meetings. She gave some very
interesting demonstrations. To the
grammar grade girls she gave a
demonstration on making aprons,
and to the high school girls she gave
a demonstration on making turbans
and making attractive pictures from
old window sashes.
All the grammar grade girls IN
the county who are All Club mem
bers, except those Of the DreWry
Club, are planning to make aprons,
starting them at their next project
meeting. The Drewry All Club
girls have already completed theirs.
Lula Norwood, of the Townsville
Al Club, made a sofa pillow re-
Gently and stuffed il with the soft
down from cattails, which she gath
cred from a sWampy place nesr her
nome. Lula has also made two at
tractive rag rugs for her bedroom.
Janet Owen, of the Townsville
Al Club. made candy one day re-
Gently for her mother &c serve as re-
freshmentS TO the Home Demonstra-
ton club. Janet is an outstanding
All club member in her club. She
has carried food preparation as a
major project for four years and is
keeping accurate records on this
project again this year. She is also
carrying a poultry project and a
gardening project. She plans to
have a late garden this year. When
Janet started her poultry project
she wanted to have her chickens
separate from her mothers SO she
and her little brother went into the
woods and sawed down enough trees
to build her chicken house Of her
own, and together they built the
house. Besides her splendid records
she is also keeping scrapbook
which is required Of all All Club
girls.
A number of the All girls are
starting yard Identification projects
Miss Ranes is making kodak pictures
of these yards before anything Is
done TO them and the pictures will be
compared with others to be made IN
the early fall. In this way it will be
easy to see how much progress IS
being made. Of course 1t Will be
impossible to complete such a pro-
iect in so short a time and may be
continued over a period Of years
Then, too, even when the plans are
completed and the goals met, there
will be certain amount OF upkeer
necessary for any yard to remain
attractive. The first girls in the
county to get started on this proJec'
are: Velma Pendergrass, Aycock
Laura Sneed, Matte Lou Elliot ahc
Virginia Hope, Townsville.
Joint meetings are being held TINS
week: Wednesday at Zeb Vance
Thursday at Aycock, and Friday a
Townsville. The topic for discus
SIGN at these meetings IS Gooe
Lighting For the Farm Home.

Snow Does Little
Damage to Roads

Raleigh, March 26.-(AP)- An
Easter snow which covered North
Carolina apparently did no severe
damage to highways. Chief Highway
Engineer w. Vance Baise said today.
Reports from the various high
way divisions indicated that roads
had been cleared, and that traffic
hazards existed only in short shad-
ed sections where packed snow had
frozen into sheets Of ice. Those sec
lions were being sanded for traction.
Every snow always does some
damage to the roads, Baise said,
'since water seeps under the pave
ment. The snow is melting quickly
and we are not expecting it to freeze
in many places"
