Frederick Jail
Falling Down,
Sheriff Says
sy the Associoted Press

FREDERICK, Md, Mar. 12.-
The Frederick County Jail is on the
way to falling down, and some of
the floors won't hold one prisoner
any more" Sheriff Guy Anders
told the Kiwanis club.
He said he blamed the board of
county commissioners for "deplor-
able" conditions at the Jail, aims
house and county office building
The commissioners are scared
of the voters" and afraid to do any
thing to remedy conditions, Mr.
Anders said.
Mr.. Anders also blamed parents
in the county for a sharp increase
in juvenile delinquency.
Too many parents are so eagerly
seeking their own freedom and their
own rights they have no time for
family responsibilities" he said.

OBITUARY


Florence Viola Sears, daughter
of John Fletcher Lyon and Bess
E. Sanders Lyon was born De-
cember is, 1878 at Bloomfield,
Ohio, and departed this life Feb
ruary 90, 1948, at the age of 90
years, 2 months, and IL days. She
was united in marriage May 6,
1896 to Charles A. Sears, Of
Bloomfield, Ohio, where they
made their home until 1911, when
they moved to Peoria, Ohio,
which place they have since re-
sided.
She leaves to mourn her loss
her husband, one son, Floyd, and
wife; at whose home she passed
away. Also, two grandchildren,
Mrs. Velma Heffner, of Columbus
and Dalton at home, and one
great granddaughter. Two sisters,
Faun DessureauX, of Cleveland,
and Esther Heller, of Columbus,
and a host of relatives and
friends.
At the age of l6 she was con-
verted and united with the
Methodist Church, of Bloomfield,
later transferring h er member
ship to the United Brethren
Church, of Peoria, of which she
was a faithful member until her
death.
All was done for her that hu-
man hands could do but the Lord
saw fit to take her home to the
place she had looked forward to,
and so longed to go.
She was a good wife and Moth
er and never was happier than
when she was doing for others.
A precious one from us has gone
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love had given,
And though tn e body sumbers
here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.

to that of the previous prime min
lister, Mauno Pekkala, in which
Agrarians, Conservatives, and So
cial and Peoples Democrats were
fairly evenly divided. Several
names were put forward for the
premiership, but those which were
acceptable to the left wingers were
turned down by the right wingers,
and vice versa.
AS the two largest parties, the
Agrarians and Social Democrats,
seldom see eye to eye on political
matters, the obvious solution be-
cause of the overwhelming labor
vote was to select a Social Demo-
crat for the premiership-Mr. Fa-
gerholm-and with Agrarian lead
er, Urho Kekkonen, replacing him
as speaker.
Mr.. Fagerholm's acceptance by
the majority to the post of prime
minister was thus a demonstration
not only of the workers. confidence
in him but of their refusal to risk
their democratic rights at the
hands of the Peoples Democrats
and Communists.
These latter two parties natural
ly regard Mr.. Fagerholm as a dan

moved at the first opportunity.
Many Conservatives, on the other
hand. do not approve of him and
his party. But the fact that K. A.
Fagerholm, Social Democrat, is
Conservative President Paasikivi's
close friend and confidant, has
had much to do with calming the
right wingers, and in particular
the Agrarians, who protested
against a Social Democratic gov
eminent when it was the Agrarians
who won the election by a narrow
margin.
Enlarged Representation Still
Open
In this connection, Mr.. Eager
holm said: Both the President and
I wanted a government with wider
party representation, but discus
sions with the Peoples Democrats
were stranded on the distribution
of ministerial posts. If an oppor-
tunity occurs, we will gladly re-
open discussions for charging
party representation"
1t has been said that only an ex-
ceedingly intelligent and clever
man ever wins President Paasiki-
Wis confidence. That the compli-
ment is we'll justified when applied
to Mr.. Fagerholm is the opinion
of those who studied the latter's
skillful maneuvering of the Peo-.
