Guernsey prizes this year again
will come from the H. R. Lobdell
Oakland Guernsey Farms at Muk-

purchased from the Farmers Union
hatchery at Williston, N. D., for de-
livery next spring. The Guernseys
will be delivered to winners on the
final day of the drawing. Certifi-
Gates will be given baby chick win
ners for delivery next spring.
Same Rules in Effect
Exactly the same rules for the
drawing are in effect as last year.
The awards are limited to bonafide
farmers of Valley county. If a far
mer's name is drawn, either he or
his wife may claim the prize. Far
mers are not required to register for
the drawings. AS last year, a COM
plete list of all farmers in the coun-
ty has been prepared. Each farmers
name is in a capsule, placed in a
large bowl for the drawings.
There is no charge whatever.
However, the farmer or his wife
must be present at the drawing to
claim the prize.
Any farmer who is a new resident
of the county or who wishes to
check, should call at The Courier
office before the drawing takes
place. He can quickly determine if
his name is ON the list of those ELI
gible. If not, it will be placed on
the list. The list also will be at all
drawings and farmers are invited
to check it there.
Only One Main Prize
AS last year, no farmer may win
more than one main prize. How
if he wins an attendance prize,
ne is still eligible to win a main
of livestock OF chicks.
Sponsors again stress that only
requirements are that winners be
bonafide farmers of Valley county
and that they be on the lot when
names are called.

Credit ASSURED
ARMY STUDENTS
School Board Accepts Plan
to Award Diplomas to
Youths in Service

Courses taken in the armed forces
will be recognized as credit toward
high school diploma, according to
a recommendation made by the
State Board of Education and ap-
proved by the local board at a
meeting last night. Previously, high
school seniors who had completed
three and half years of study be-
fore entering the service were ELI
gible for diplomas but under the
new program credits will be allowed
for all students who have entered
military service.
A years service will earn a serv-
iceman two units of credit, accord
ing to the new plan. 1t is pointed
out further that courses given in
the armed forces are of high school
grade and when successfully COM
pleted should be recognized as
credit toward diploma.
Provision is made for credit for
courses completed on the collegiate
level or in an accredited normal or
commercial school and for work
in the fields of trade education,
mechanical and industrial arts. The
total credits in the latter field are
limited to four units at the rate of
one unit for every 300 hours of
work completed.
It was provided further that an
educational profile may be taken
of man returning from the armed
forces and If the rank attained
meets the standard of the school
then a high school diploma should
be granted. The profile may be Sc
cured through the Armed Forces
institute or the schools own tests.
Specialized training received also
will be taken into account and
credit given.

mended rendering of occupational
and adjustment guidance to serv-
icemen returning to civilian life.

1000 CONvICTS
SEEK WRITS.TO
Get FREEDOM
BY ROBERT J. NEFF

United Press STAN Correspondent
Springfield, Ill, Dec. IL (UP)-
The time honored song IF ! Had
the Wings Of an Angel, Over These
Prison Walls I Would Fly" still Is
sung TO the same tune by Illinois
convicts, but hundreds Of them are
trying to change 1t to IF I had a
Writ of HabeaS Corpus" and get
their freedom.
More than 1000 convicts, en-
couraged by the success Of some OF
their fellows, have deluged Illinois
state and federal courts and law
enforcement officials with applica-
lions for writs of habeas corpus or
or error in a mass effort to go free,
officials estimate here.
The deluge began about year
ago, according to State Safety d.
rector T. P. Sullivan, who super
vises four Illinois State prisons, at
Joliet, Statewide, Pontiac, and
Menard.
John Bongiorono, serving 100
years in connection with killing a
policeman. started the food when
he filed for habeas corpus writ
last fall. One hundred and ninety
nine years, he said, Is an "inhu-
man" sentence.
So prisoners, often through their
lawyers or letters addressed to
judges and other officials, began
petitioning for freedom by the hun
dreds. Many were too poor to hire
lawyers, said Sullivan, so they wrote
"home made" pleas asking rela-
tives and friends to take up their
fight for freedom through a law
yer.
OF the 1000 pleas, Sullivan said,
more than 200 already have passed
through the state supreme court.
All except about 20 appeals were
denied, and on IA of these hangs
the fate of almost $500 others who
now are serving recommended"
maximum sentences.
Convicts challenge the right of
the state to keep them in prison on
the ground: they are being held
beyond recommended" maximum
sentences, that hte yare held il
legally because they were sent to
prisons not specified in their COM
mitment paper, that long sentences
are "inhuman mad cruel" or because
the parole board did not figure
their good time" right.

ENGLISH PEOPLE
DEPLORE STRIKES
Father O'Hea of Oxford
Addresses Priests at
Luncheon Meeting

Strikes in England are frowned
upon by the people, stated Rev.
Leo O'Hea, ST., principal of Work
ers College at oxford, in England,
and although the strikers may
gain their point, public sentiment
remains such that all gains might
be lost after the war.
Father O'Hea, who spoke to
Catholic clergy of this section at
luncheon at the Elton yesterday
said that promotion of complete
amity between management and
labor was the principal aims OF
labor schools throughout England,
oxford threw open its doors to
labor leaders, Father O'Hea statec
and its classes are conducted along
lines similar to those conducted
here by father Joseph F. Donnelly,
director of the Diocesan labor in,
stitute, the speaker added.
Father O'Hea speaking of Eng
land proper stated that there Is
virtually no black-market in that
country at this time and that their
rationing program there Is tightly
drawn and efficient one.
Father O'Hea who is visiting the
United States under the auspices OF
the British Information Services
said yesterday that he believed that
Joseph Stain, Russian leader, was
not a Communist at heart but had
used Communism as means OF
furthering his interests and amti-
tons.
After yesterdays meeting, Fathei
O'Hea accompanied by Father Don
nelly drove to Willimantic wher.
he was to address another body OF
the Catholic clergy.
