For the great majorify it
doesn't nd certainly it is the
controlling idea of Warden

him for freedom.

These job are being done
effectively by men of good
will, but there Ae good spots
and ba sots in every insti
tution.
One of the bright areas is
the farm annex for minimum
security prisoners where there
have been extensive changes
during th Gladden adminis
tration. 3fR Arm, with 1,200 acres

state hospital and prison
Pool grid Television
Life is t littie easier, too.
The 158 men sleep in dorms,
play cards and pool, watch
television and have their own
swimming hole.
Not so good is the psychi
atric help Gavailable for in
mates. A psychiatrist visits
the prison just one afternoon
a week and is forced to con
sider only extreme cases.
Most men see the prison
psychologist only once for
their initial testing'. Some
times, if thy run into trouble,
thr comae back for testing of
a more diagnostic order. From
time to time, the psychologist
a is able to organize group ther-
Q?y sessions.
Many inmates would ad-
mit they were a little "psy-
chf? up" or they wouldn't be
in prison. They need profes
sional help to solve both the
problems they brought with
them and the ones arising
from their adjustment to rigid
prison life.
Some of the pressure may
be taken off next spring when
the new intermediate penal
institution opens to take care
of younger and more readily
rehabilitated men.
There is talk, too, on the
board of control about a hospital-type
institution that
would be about half-way in
function between the state
hospital and the prison. It
would be staffed by hospital
psychiatrists and would take
care of the criminally insane
from q the hospital and also
give nelp to more troubled
penitentiary inmates.
Some Bad Problems
There are some real prob
lems in the prison. Take for
instance the man who has no
conception of the strict moral
values of the court that sen
tenced him. They are simply
not his values. How absurd
life must seem to him behind
bars and how strange the talk
of rehabilitation.
His contacts with religion,
if any, probably ended dur
ing adolescence as studies by
prison chaplains show. - . .
He is a man iS revolt an8
it is a real task to try to reach
him and change the energy of
thls revolt into areas more
creative than crime.
For some, a fifth grade edu
cation and a couple of years
By MARY JO HARRIS
Butte Falls The Vacation
Bible school program was
held Sunday evening, June 22,
at the Community Bible
church. The beginners class
theme was "Creation" and
their part in the program
consisted of songs and verses.
The primary class had made
jackets and wore them to
represent their theme "Be
longing and Living in God's
Family." The junior boys and
girls sang songs and told flan
nel board stories concerning
their theme "God's Time and
God's World."
Due to a lightning storm,
the program was put on with
out the benefit of lights. The
program progressed rapidly
and only had to be cut short
at the end when the pianist
could no longer read the
music.
The Bible school had an
enrollment of 80 children
with the primary class lead
ing with 33 enrolled. During
the two-week period there
were many absences due to
mumps and measles.
Teachers , were the Rev.
Howard Simmonds junior
boys; Mrs. Duane Burton, jun
ior girls; Mrs. Louis Cram
mer, beginners; MrS. Roger
Harris, primary. Mrs. How
ard Simmonds was the pianist.
Helpers were Mrs. Gordon
Walker, Mrs. Charles Fergu
son, the Misses Virginia Mc-
Alister, Darlene Edmondson,
Martha Dalton. D e 1 o r i s
Brown, Edith Wright, Judy
Burg and Larry Cavin. Phil
lip Crammer and Tommy
Wright were in charge of
playground activities.

an Open House Sunday, June
29, at the ' Community Bible
church for Mr. and Mrs. Roy

day evening, June 20, at Wil

the evening included swimming.
in the mattress factory of a
tough but fair prison just
won't accomplish this change.
They may be back.
For others, discipline, edu
cation, work and wise coun
seling do make a real differ
ence.
Here and there in the pris
on can be seen a dirty foot
mark stomped onto a newly
painted wall by a frustrated
and angry man. But look
around and there goes a
young inmate to his job in the
industries. His brass belt buc
kle is so highly polished you
can see your face in it. You
can almost read his mind:
He's not coming back.
The old city hall is being
torn down at the present time
and plans for the new build
ing have been made. The new
building will be 24 feet wide
and 40 feet long. The front
part of the building will be
divided into two parts; one
side for the fire hall and the
other for the library. The rear
part of the new building will
be partitioned for the city
council chambers. This new
structure should be complet
ed in about three months.
The library has been moved
to the old barber shop and
will remain there until the
new building is ready for
use.
Butte Falls has suffered
the weather changes along
with the rest of Oregon. The
past few weeks have- found
soaring temperatures dropped
by rapidly rising winds, thun
der and lightning and hail
storms.
Members of the Mt Pitt
club acted as hostess at a
personal shower held in honor
of Mrs. Lee Jolliffe recently
