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.

The other two aunts, Sara and Claris
sa, moved with them to Clover, where
Samuel A. Glenn died in 1915; Sara
in 1920, and Clarissa in 1934.
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.

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.

Since my announcement and entry into the race

by the local Selective Service Board that I am subject

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.
I have worked hard and faithfully to till the duties

plate steel, they considered was u fces

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,

board, to set up an institutional .'sap-

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

Be careful when using acid fruits
and vegetables, sour milk, and vine
gar near your range 1 top. If you
spill these things on'it', wipe them up
quickly before the acid they con
tain can eat away tihe top finish of
the porcelain enamel. Once the glos s
is gone, it cannot be restored.
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
