These "councllmen," eacli one

Warden Thomas expected when he
put his plan Into effect. They are
ennbllnK blm to Kcl Into closer touch
wjih the prlsoneis.
For luslnnre, It has been tlm rule
that shoes are distributed eveiy so
often. Some prisoners wear out
shoes sooner than others. Hereto
fore they have accepted their lot
fearful that a request for shoes be
fore the time specified by the rules
would bring a reprimand. One
"councilman" so told tho warden.
Now prisoners nro furnished with
shoe when needed.
Thorn are many trlvnl mutters
which prisoners have been nfraid to
brliiK to attention of offlclals and
which oltlclnls havo overlooked. Ah
a result prisoners havo nursed
grudges. Tho "council" Is expected
to correct this situation.
