Changes have been go ing on for a long time with Elmer Waiter corporations changing plant locations as the traditional sites proved obso- Utah Credits Use Of Proabtion To Cut Number of Inmates Salt Lake City - (UPD - In most states, the number of prison inmates has been climbing steadily - but not in Utah, where the trend is in exactly the opposite direction. Utah penal authorities say credit for this fact should go to the increased use of pro bation and parole. They point out that the Drison populations of other states have increased 5 to 7 per cent during the past four years while the number of convicts in the Utah State prison declined from an all time high of 623 two years ago to only Sda now. At the same time, Utah has 285 former prison inmates on parole and 620 felons on pro bation. About 64 per cent of the eligible felony cases in Utah from July 1, 1958, to June 30, 1959, wound up in a probationary status. Utah in Forefront The National Probation and Parole association does not have comparative figures for other states, but does recog nize that Utah is "in the fore front" in the use of probation. As Ernest D. Wright, execu tive director of the Utah Board of Corrections, put it: "Because of intelligent use of probation and parole, Utah's prison population has been reduced in the face of a steady increase in the general population." The state's extensive use of probation and parole is based on the following facts: -It costs $1,460 a year per man to keep a felon in prison. -It costs only $125 a year per man to maintain super What Is The Law?

Treat A Request For Your Signature As A Warning Signal Mary Defendant had a busy morning. In the midst of her many chores she- was inter rupted by a salesman who wanted to sell various items of merchandise. He told Mary that a particular article would cost her only a small amount per day. All she had to do was write her name on the paper and make a small down payment and the article would be delivered to her. This she did to get rid of the salesman. To her dismay, she learned that she had signed a legally binding agreement. This happens also in the sell ing and purchase of corre spondence courses. Always read before you sign, for after signing a docu ment it may set in motion events with legal consequenc es. If in doubt about signing, seek information. Warning Signal Whenever you are asked to sign something, treat the re quest as a warning signal that in some way you may become legally obligated by what you ing measured during their lunch hours and should pay the rental fee at the time they are measured.

The decade of the 1950s found the moves accelerating. They will speed up in the 1960s, according to Leonard C. Yaseen, senior partner of Fantus Factory Locating Serv ice of New York and Chicago. He finds a pickup right now after a lull during the steel strike. "During 1960," says Yaseen, "nearly three million workers will receive wage increases, already negotiated, of eight cents an hour. In addition state and local governments vision over a parolee or some one who is on probation. What's more, a parolee or man on probation is working, supporting his family and paying taxes. A prison in mate, of course, is not. Naturally, special care must be exercised in determining just which convicts should be granted parole and probation. . That Utah is successful in this regard is shown by the fact that from July 1, 1958, to June 30, 1959, only 18.9 per cent of the probations and 29 per cent of the paroles were violated. This compares with a na tional average of about ? 60 per cent for such violations, according to Keith Wilson, chief agent for the Utah De partment of Probation and Parole. Little Use of Parole Wilson attributes the high national figure to the fact that 'some states make very little .use of parole. Men are re leased from prison with little supervision and almost no help. And in many states, the case loads for each pro bation officer range as high as 300." The case load for Utah pro bation officers averages only 75. Wright added: "We have been somewhat amazed at the use district court judges have made of our pre - sentence studies and at the number of men placed on probation. "I believe it is an exception to find an inmate committed for his first offense unless the judge has given him a chance on probation and he has fail ed." sign. For your own protec tion, you should clearly un derstand what you sign, why you are signing it, and what the consequences may be. It is rarely possible for a person who has signed a document to avoid its legal effects. For example, many people have bought merchandise on time payment. Usually the buyer signs a conditional sales contract. It means that the ownership remains in the seller, while the buyer is us ing the merchandise and the goods do not belong to the buyer until the last install ment is paid. If you miss one payment, the seller has the right to take the goods back. Ordinarily the failure to pay an install ment when due makes the en tire balance payable immedi ately without notice, and you will lose the goods and what you have paid in. Read Everything Know what the document you are signing contains Don't be confused by its title Read everything in any doc ument. Clauses in fine print may be important. Oral prom ises not included in the writ ing may be unenforceable. Take nothing for granted. Check and verify the docu ment. Be sure the dates, pric es, names and conditions fill ed in are correct. You are bound by what it says, not by what you thought it said. Retain a copy. In this way you may minimize your risks. Volcanic Debris Rains on Village Pahoa, Hawaii (UPD - Vol canic debris the size of golf balls Saturday rained down on the village of Kapoho from erupting Kilauea volcano and caused police to order sight seers out of the area. The rain of pumice and ash hit the town after winds changed from northeast to northwest, but there was still no immediate danger to the village itself. Submarine cable weighs will raise taxes and float bond issues to finance the addition al $3 billion a year that they are adding to their bdugets. "These costs are being sad dled on companies already hard-pressed by lower - cost competition from home and abroad. "As a result, they are caught squarely between humanitar ian motives, which impel them to increase wages and stay in their familiar localities, and the harsh realities of the mar ket place that no longer per mit them to pass along in creased costs to' customers." Save Through Moving He cited several instances of big saving made through moving plants to new loca tions. One company with an nual sales of $8 million was able to save $950,000 by building a plant on a new site, he said. Another found that its com petitor in a southern location had a big advantage in costs in a lower labor area. The differences in labor costs worked out to 85 cents an hour more than enough to lose its southern and south eastern markets. It is retain ing Fantus to find a new lo cation. Moving a factory isn't easy, and Yaseen in his quiet way will tell you about the long, tedious investigations that must be made before a change is even thought of. There are literally hundreds of things to consider-labor supply, power facilities, transportation o f raw materials to and finished products from the plant, prox imity to market, availability of utilities gas, oil, electri city, water, sewage, etc. Considerations Involved There are others which are more . difficult to measure such as labor productivity of the area, taxes hidden and other, freight rates, work men's compensation laws, re zoning laws, fire protection, flood history, accessibility, fuel availability, insurance and other laws, attitude of of officials of the area, availa b i 1 i t y of medical services, communications, climate, rec reation facilities, schools, po lice protection, and location of competitors. This list could be extended to great length. And all the items are highly important, for moving a factory is costly, and once moved it cannot be re - moved without risk of heavy loss. Factories them selves seldom have the facili ties to do this job of investi gating. Investigate Every Detail The Fantus firm, headed by Yaseen, specializes in just that type of business. The firm does the investigating in every detail. This often takes months of painstaking study Mission egg noodles Read This Actual Letter from a Mother Behind the Iron Curtain!

Letters the Reds stopped from reaching RFE: "To us, disinherited from free dom, your broadcasts gave us many a moment of joy and faith in a better future. I remember how my son would listen to your broadcasts hour after hour how happy they made him. . . . Then he returned from the Urals with a wounded head a ghost, not a man. He had to lie in bed for 8 months before the wound healed, and all that time he listened to your broadcasts on the radio. Before he died, on a Sunday evening at 8 o'clock, and even though he was in terrible pain, he asked that the radio be brought to him.
