Visitors To Prison
May Get Wrong Idea
Fort Madison. Ia. (U.R)
Warden Percy Lainson dosen't
want any boys and girls visiting
the Iowa State Prison here to
get any wrong ideas.
"We've . got a pretty clean
place," he said. "The men are
dressed well. They are well fed.
Youngsters might get the idea
that prison isn't such a bad place
after all. And that's because
they don't understand "the real
punishment a man gets in prison
the loss of his freedom. They're
too young to grasp that."

merce Department said Wednes

Pastor Hillerman was elected as
one of the six clergymen and

tion. Pastor Hillerman was elect
ed as one of the six clergymen
