Tells Value
Program
Rotary Is Urged
To Continue Its
Interest In Youth

High School senior Ken
meth Carter, of Marathon,
spoke at the Rotary Clubs
weekly meeting at the La
Concha Hotel yesterday.
Young Carter attended Boys
State earlier this year and urged
the Rotary to continue sponsoring
boy at the program.
He said, "It is one of the finest
things q club can do - to send
q boy to this school of learning
about the government, especially
the government of Florida"
''The things we were taught are
of great Importance in the part
that youth will play in the next
20 years." he continued.
Training For Life
"The intelligent adult is not east
ly swayed by communistic ideolo-
gies. The communists realize this
and concentrate their efforts on
the youth of every nation"
Their complete devotion to their
cause enables them to start with
a small group and spread their
views to many, because for the
dedicated communist, everything
else is secondary"
Young Carter told the club men,
bers, "The United States is safe
as long as it holds to God and the
principles on which the nation was
founded
He said the reason Rome fell
was because as a nation, the Ro-
mans repudiated God, and likened
Rome's position of leadership of
the ancient world to Americas pos
ition in the modern world.
Lip Service Raped
He urged that all Americans
look UP to the Flag and not just
give it lip service.
''In the past, all countries of the
world looked up to the American
Flag as a symbol of strength and
right, but this is no longer true, .
he said.

Prisoners Are
Thwarted In
Flight Try

WEST PALM BEACH R4Five
prisoners who attempted to flee
the Palm Beach County Jail late
yesterday were rounded up within
Is minutes. 1t was the fourth at
tempted jailbreak here this year.
Sheriff John F. Kirk said the
ringleader was Jasper Shelton, 81,
Sumter, S. c., being held for North
Carolina authorities on an armed
robbery charge. Shelton fled the
same jail Feb. q but was caught
the next day, along with a COM
panion.
Kirk said Shelton was armed
with an ''improvised burp gun"
but made no attempt to use it.
The sheriff identified the other
prisoners involved as william Con-
way, 81, Pottstown, Pa, charged
with auto theft; Scott Field With,
IS, Milwaukee, Wis. awaiting SEN
tence on breaking and entering
charges; Norman Franks Is, Tam
pa, Fla, awaiting transfer to state
prison for auto theft, and Clarence
Middleton, IS, no address, charged
with auto theft and escaping jail.
How II Happened
Kirk said the break occurred
when Jailer Tom Riggs went TO
return Rex Gamble, a trusty, to
large cell on the third floor.
Riggs reported he heard Shelton
complain of being i'll and when he
opened the cell door, Shelton
slugged him. He was forced into
the cell and the five prisoners
rushed out.
The trusty's shouts attracted
deputies from other parts of the
building.
Meanwhile, Conway, With and
Middleton had jumped from a
third story window to the lawn be-
low. Deputy Tom C. Reese grabbed
Franks before he could jump.
Middleton receive broken
ankle and was quickly picked up.

After Hawkins arrest, Sheriff

Officers said the boy was shot

The death was reported as an ac-
cident and Hawkins collected $13,-

Heavily Insured
Bounds said Hawkins had 10 or
IL insurance policies on his wife,
one of which was taken out about
two weeks before her death. Most
of the policies carried double in
demnity for accidental death, the
sheriff said. A month ago, Bounds
added, Hawkins filling station
burned and he accepted q settle
ment on fire insurance policy on
the station.
He told me in all he had col

cent years." Bounds said. Hes
never been in trouble before so far
