U.S. Treasury Department PRISON INDUSTRY JOINS THP WAR EFFORT END FOR NATURAL RUBBER FORESEEN TRUNK OF GOLD CASE The circuit court in York county probably will have to determine ownership of approximately $7,800 most of it in ’ gold. The gold ’ is held by Miss Mary O. Glenn, of Clover. The appeal is on forty-two exceptions filed by E. M. Stanton, individually and as administrator of Clarissa Z. Glenn, aunt of Miss Mary O. Glenn, to a report by the probate judge for York county, who held Miss Mary O. Glenn to be legal owner 'of the money. The case 'has been refer red to as the “Trunk of Gold” case. Samuel A. Glenn, married his first cousin, Margaret A Glenn, and by her had three daughters, Clara, Daisy and Mary, of whom the survivor is Miss Mary O. Glenn, now sixty-five years old, infirm and blind, but apparently of good memory. Mrs. Glenn died January 16, 1883, and Samuel A. Glenn moved with his three daughters to live with his wife’s mother and her three maiden daughters, their aunts. These three aunts took charge of the care and rearing of the three little girls. In 1886, when his mother-in-law died, Samuel A. Glenn took his fam ily, with the three maiden aunts, to his home in Bethel, where Miss Martha Glenn, one of the aunts died.

It was established by testimony in the hearing that all the Glenns were great believers ni the stability and value of gold and kept as much of it as possible on hand. It was a cus tom in the family, when bills were to be paid, to exchange gold with other members for paper money so as to keep as much gold in the family as possible. All members of the family have a reputation for paying bills promptly and being very close mouthed about their private business. On the testimony of the family physician, it was proved that Miss Clarissa Glenn had been an invalid for many years prior to her death and that her medical expenses must have totaled in excess of $10,000. It also was established that the three old aunts had had little income and, with large medical expenses, it was probable that the three nieces had had to pay most of their expenses. It was established also that M.iss Clarissa Glenn had left her personal property to namesake, Clara Glenn, whose sold heir at law Miss Mary O. Glenn. Apparently Stanton’s claim arises by his being a son of Mrs. G. Stan ton, the sister of the three maiden aunts, but it was established in the hearing that the three maiden aunts had bought out her share in some of the Glenn property. Though Miss Clarissa Glenn died in 1934, it apparently was not until December 1939, that Mr. Stanton was told of a deposit of gold in the Bank of Clover in 1934 for Mis* Clara Glenn, from whom Miss Mary O. Glenn claims to have inherited it. It was contended that Miss Mary Glenn had admitted on one occasion that the gold was Miss Clarissa Glenn’s, but Miss Mary Glenn denied this at the probate judge’s hearing. Mrs. James Barron, of Miami, Fla., visited her aunt, Mrs. J, B. McDow ell over the week-end. Washington.—The industrial equip ment and manpower of state prisons throughout the land soon will be har. nessed to the nation’s war effort. Preliminary surveys of all the equipment and possible uses in pro duction of war goods have been com pleted; legal obstacles have been hur dled and prison labors should be turn ing out army implements within the next few weeks. Officials in charge of the pro gram emphasize that there will be no competition with other sources of manufacture and that the making of war goods of potential civilian use will not continue after tlse was is over. A labor supply of approximately 100,000 men will be tapped, with a potential production capacity of $100, 000,000 annually. Emphasis will be laid In producing such items as cotton cloth, ’oolen cloth, cotton and wooleo garrvents, hosiery, underwear, shoes, cainned fruits and vegetables, soap, paint and harness, in accordance with a.'rmy and navy demands. The idea of putting state jtrison labor to use in the war program hitd its inception last October whe tn a group of State officials met in Wash ington to determine whether they could obtain steel for the makin. j of automobile license plates. New York.—'Like the froth at the foot of Niagra, the controvesrsy over rubber has seemed to boil arouad and get nowhere. But beneath the confusion, like the onrushing stream, American ingen uity is forcing its way towa.rd a so lution of one of the most urgent problems the war has broughit—how to keep our pneumatic-tired ectonomy rolling. The American driver has been told so often he should know by now that none of the developments mean tires for him—not for the present. All new methods of adding to our rubber supply now can mean only that; we more nearly will meet the evur-ex pending demands of America’s plow ing army. What they may mean in the futjire is something else again. An eminent rubber scientist, who declined use of his name pointed out that when the Japs finally are pushed out of the East Indies rubber forests, thew may practice a “scorch ed earth’’ policy that will mean no natural rubber from that area for a generaltion. Foreign observers ex pect that. “Whether that’s to happen remains to be seen,” he commented. “But we have got to be ready to make up with synthetics for such a potential loss. We will be ready. “When all the new plants now being Because of priority demands for built are shaken down, technical ad Saturday guests in the home of Mr. and Mrs. J.

' i f '4wll To The Voters of Newberry County Since my announcement and entry into the race for commissioner of district No.2 I have been notified by the local Selective Service Board that I am subject to be called to the army at a near date. In view of this fact, I am withdrawing from the Commissioner’s race. I want to take this opportunity to thank my many friends for their support in the past and the support pledged me for the coming race.

Lominick plate steel, they considered was u fces for their machines and men. Gradually the idea took shape, Lm t not until May 6, when Attorney Gen eral Francis Biddle ruled that federal statutes relating to the use in inter state commerce of prison-made goods, are no barrier to the use of these goods in the war program, did it gain real momentum. Prior to that time, Maury Maver ick, chief of the bureau of govern ment requirements of the war pro duction board, had surveyed all states’ equipment and ability to pro duce military materiaL He also told the governors that restrictive legislation had interfered with utilization of surplus prison manpower and equipment. “We concur in the justification of many of these restrictions,” Maver ick said, “believing that no individual or firm should profit at the expense the labor prison inmates nor should outside labor and industry be expected to meet such penal competi tion. “We have no desire to reopen such channels” he added, but stressed the nation’s need of the idle prison labor and equipment. From information gained from each state, W. H. Burke, chief coni- sultant for the prison industries sec tion, has assembled data on the tech nical possibilities of each prison in dustry, so that a contract for sand 1 - bag material will not be offered! to ai prison plant capable of produemtg only some other type of cloth. Shortly after Attorney General Bud die has issued his ruling, Presiderott Roosevelt asked Donald M. Nelsow, chairman of the war prodKicitias board, to set up an institutional .'sap- plies committee. This committee consists of J txrocs ; V. Bennett, director of the Fr jdexa 1 bureau of prisons, as chairma a; I Metcalf Wallinax, representin g tl ie department of labor, and Mi iverie k, as WPB representative.

COUNTS Getting The Most From Your Kitchen Range Whether your kitchen range is old or new, gas or electric, it is high time to check up on the care you give it and make sure it will receive all necessary attention “for the dura tion.” Although your range was made to dast a long time it needs an occasion- .al check-up to keep it “in the pink. If something is wrong and you do not know how to fix it, call in a re pair man as soon as possible. Quick attention may save you greater trou ble and expense later. Daily care of your range has much to do with the service it gives you. Treat this equipment with reason able care. Don’t slam doors, bang grates, or knock surfaces with cook ing utensils. Hinges, latches, and doors can’t hold up if you theat them roughly and enamel surfaces will scratch or chip.

Check occasionally to see if hinges on the oven door are in dood shape and not loose or broken. Never place anything heavy on your open oven door—this is hard on the hinges. The cleaner you keep your range the better it will work and look. Give it a quick “once-over” after each use, with an eye to spatters or grease drops of food. For the first quick cleaning it is best to qse soft paper or a dry cloth. However, If necessary you can use a cloth wrung from hot water on a hot range surface, but never wash porcelain enamel surfaces with cold water while the range is still hot. If you do, the sudden change in tem perature may crack the enamel. When the sove has cooled you can clean it more' thoroughly. Use warm, soaioy water for all surfaces and racks. If the spot is hard to re move, rub it gently with u finu cleaning powder that will not scratch. If this doesn’t work, rub the place lightly with fine steel wool, 100 grade but never aerspe. When through washing, wipe with a damp cloth and dry. # - . ot be satisfied with anything short of the canning budget which calls for a minimum of 24 quarts of fruits, 24 quarts of vegetables, 22 quarts of tomatoes and 4 quarts of kraut for each member of the family. Have you looked carefully around your place for any rubber that might be salvaged for the government. An intensive drive is being put on now, so look around and get what you can and take it to your nearest filling station. This is a very small thing that we can do to help. Let’s show our patriotism. Let’s act today be fore it is too late. The call is urgent. The need is great and delay might he dangerous. More than two million American young men have gone to war! They have get aside their hopes and dreams. They have postponed careers. They are digging ditcher, building roads, peeling potatoes, drill ing, training, learning to shoot.

Butadiene, which can be made from potatoes, grains, sugar, or molasses, is the basis of Standard’s “butyl” rubber, and of the buna rubbers “n” and “s”, which will help to build America’s war machine and may help give you new tires in a few years.

The next best thing to whole wheat flour is “enriehed” flour. The cost of having flour en riched is so very little that the cost is not an item at all. It is merely the case of a person realizing the importance of this addition and mak ing it a special point to ask that the flour be enriched.
