MEYERS RESIGNS
PENITENTIARY PDS
I
Says State Has Been Bene
fited by Regime, Strove
to Better Charge.
' Salem. Henry W. Meyers, super-
intendent of the state prison, Monday
afternoon announced his intention to
resign effective June 1. The announce
ment followed published rumors that
he was contemplating such a step.
In announcing hia intention he
; said: ' .. , 1 . . -
I "I reached the decision to step out
after numerous conferences with
friends. I believe this action iu for
the best interests of the institution
and officials who are connected with
it. I'm fully aware that continuance
in office as superintendent in the
face of the fight being made upon
me by Governor Meier could only be
detrimental to the institution."
Meyers sent the following letter to
the board of control: .
"In dealing with a most trying sit
uation, errors are bound to occur. We
are all human and subject to mis
takes, yet one can be honest in his
intentions. My sole purpose during
the past four years as administrator
of the Oregon state penitentiary has
been to remove the stench which has
surrounded this institution covering
a period of these many, many years,
and to elevate the same to a degree
so it could compare favorably with
more modern penal institutions. If
any progress has been made, it speaks
for itself. A study of conditions and
my record should indicate to every
right thinking taxpayer of the state
the extreme interest manifested to
build and improve not only the physi
cal plant but the incarcerated indi
viduals as well, providing better food,
cleanliness and sanitary surroundings.
TvTir ofTftT-ta trt fnafoll eamrina onrl vnna.
walls of the prison for the betterment
and needs of rehabilitating the pris
oner have met with defeat.
".The unimportant indiscretions
mentioned that may have been com
mitted are most trivial. If one should
measure and could realize the bene
ficial results obtained by permitting
the prisoners to have other recreation
than as provided by and under the
usual prison environment there would
be no criticism, but a hearty com
mendation pertaining to outside en
joyment, even though private inter
ests benefited nominally.
"To counterbalance the minor use
of state trucks and : prisoners, the
same has been more than equalized
and the state has benefited and was
compensated by the fact of the in-
suiuuon gaming Dy tne use 01 my
privately owned automobile covering
a direct period of my first two years'
incumbency, when transports were in
adequate to meet conditions period
ically for the past 24 months, without
one cent cost to the state, yet pri
vately owned autos used in the state
business are entitled to 6 cents per
mile. . ' ,
"Also, my personal investigation
and inspection of San Quentin, Fol
som, Walla Walla and Westminister
prisons at no cost to the state what
soever, the expense incidental there
to being paid personally and the in
formation obtained and derived from
such inspection has been applied in
the interest and benefit to the state
of Oregon."

Dr. Dan Poling Gave
Talk to School Pupils

school was very agreeably surprised
with a special assembly. Dr. Dan

a very interesting and inspirational
talk.
. Throughout the course of his lec
ture he stressed the importance of a
college education. He said that not
all students could profit by a college
education but all who could profit by
this specialized training should get
it.
The point was made that this is a
day of competition. The only way
to get away from it is to take special
ized training and carry it beyond the
degree to which the majority of one's
competitors have the willingness or
ability to go.
Dr. Poling said that any student
could work his own way through col
lege if he had the determination.

Conforming to the joint resolution
of congress which proclaims May Day
as child health day, Governor Meier
has issued the following proclama
tion:
To the People of Oregon:
The annual, nation wide observance
of May first as Child Health Day and
the week thereafter as Child Health
Week, shows a growing appreciation
of the importance of sound physical
endowment and proper opportunities
for nurture and development. '
, Good health is not merely a mat
ter of individual concern; it is a mat
ter of public importance. It requires
community of purpose and united ef
fort.
This year the White House Confer
ence on Child Health and Protection
has added an incentive and a pro
gram for the conservation of the na
tion's human resources by renewing
interest in childhood and youth. It
has brought us to a fuller realization
of the fact that the foundation for a
better future generation must be laid
during the impressive years of childhood.
I hope that the people of Oregon
will cooperate in an observance of
Child Health Day and Child Health
Week which will bring the objectives
of tne White House Conference into
Oregon and that we may, during this
week, make an investment of interest
in child health which will bring rich
returns throughout the year and for
the future.
Yours respectfully,
JULIUS L. MEIER, Governor.
