TALLAHASSEE - H'NS) -
Florida PAROLES and practitioners
since the creation of the Florida
Parolele Commission have earned
h$3B2i.206.67 and have assisted in
taking care of 3t46 dependents!
The Commission costs to the
taxpayers of Florida since it be-
gan operating in October, 194l
have amounted to less than $275,-
600 and has the probationers now
under supervision been sent to
prison for one year and the par
oleeS now under supervision
Tspcnt one more year in prison
the cost to the State would have
been 1891, 1852, figuring that cost
at SOC per day per prisoner.
Such are some of the statistics
made public in the Commission'S
fourth annual report, just off the
press. Since the creation of the
Commission, through Dec. 81,
1914, 1910 men and women have
been panoled and 1743 men and
women placed on probation by
the States judges rather than
being sent to prison. The Com
mission supervises ,probationers
for the. courts. AS of December
81 last there were 57l proba-
TONERS and PAROLES in the armed
forces and a number of them
have distinguished themselves
in Uncle Sans fight against Hit
Ter and Hirohito. .
Of the PAROLES released from
prison the Commission has re-
voked 86 paroles, or 6 percent. In
addition 30 others are serving
sentences for new .offenses in
other<states and win be returned
to Florida to complete their
terms here and the Commission
is hunting for 81 others. The
total OF failures on parole is lie
or lO.6 percent of the parole re-
leases. Probation failures num-
Der 125 or IL percent In connec-
ton with the failures it has been
revealed from prison commit
meat figures that of the total of
824 persons released from the
States prison system during
1914, the vast majority of them
having made their time, 1873 OF
~ percent had been arrested on
new criminal charges before the
end of the year.
The members of the Commits
sion wish to make it very clear
that do not pose as. having
supernatural powers the mem
bers wrote into the report. ave
fully realize that we already
have and will continue to release
individuals who should never
leave places of incarceration. On
the other hand we regrctfully
recognize that probably there are
those for whom paroles are not
granted, who, if given a chance,
would make the grade in the
right way. That's the human fail.
ing IN our Selectivity efforts
AS the attention of the pub
lie is attracted to parole and
probation, one thing should be
kept in mind" the commissioners
urged, Parole and probation
successes do not make the news
headlines. The failures always
do. However, for each paroles
and probationer who goes hay
wire, there are literally thous-
andS of men and women given
such opportunities who have be-
come good citizens and who are
now real assets to their commun-
tiles.

The great hunger of the human
heart is to live beyond the grave
and meet our loved ones in I'M
ending reunion. Christ fully sat
isfies this yearning by His Resur-
rection.
Four times He revealed to us
that the dead live again through
Him: Jarrus' daughter, Lazarus
and the widows son were raised by
Him from death unto life; and on
the first Easter He rose from
the tomb.
1t is only natural that one
should want to share the Joys of
life with others. Therefore, 1t
is natural for us TO extend a spe-
cial invitation to our friends and
acquaintance to share in our joys
by worshipping with us at Easter.
Visitors are always welcome at
st. Philips. but we give them
special welcome on a special
feast.

DEPUTY VISITS
YAKIMA-SPOKANE

Special State Deputy Fred U.
Harris visited Yakima and Spo-
kane in the interest of bringing
new life to the two Elks' Lodges
there. Many of the very out
standing Elks were contacted and
from both cities comes the very
encouraging report that both
Lodges are definitely making
great progress towards taking
their places in Elkdom in the
state. Mr.. Harris is well known
in fraternal circles in the state
and his visit was a profitable one
in more ways than one, gathered
from the many men outstanding
in both cities.

AT USO Number 2

Last Friday evening Mr.. Sam
uel B. Taylor, recently returning
from oversee service in the south
ern Pacific, was the principal
speaker before an appreeiatable
gathering in the interest of Red
Cross. To say the least, the
speaker brought a wonderful and
instructive word picture which
had its much desired effect with
clarity. Mr.. Taylor, other than
being an outstanding director.
has what 1t takes for successful
leadership in bringing about
closer relationships in dealing
with other peoples and while mild
and unassuming brings desired
net results which otherwise might
be lost.
The Red Cross, an American
Institution, desires the whole
hearted support of every true
American, regardless of its re-
stricted scope; which only repre-
sents its powers as granted. HUI

person or persons needing the
servic e S within its power.

per cent support of Negro people
to always stand behind any and
all things where mercy calls. That
is the Red Cross, brothers all.
