yightccn years ago this month — on
June 22, 1937—Joe Louis knocked out the
"Cinderella Man", James J. Braddock, in
the eighth round at Chicago and took the
world heavyweight title.
Louis was a great champion. He had
a 12 -year reign until he abandoned the
title in 1949, and then followed the tradition set by Jim Cor:
bett, Bob Fitzsimmons, Jim Jeffries and other greats of the
heavyweight division. He failed in a comeback attempt,
But his victory over the veteran Braddock who, appar-
ently at the end of a spotty career, come off the relief rolls
to beat Laughing Boy Max Baer for the title, hardly gave
Joe his greatest ring thrill.
Of all the men Louis met in the ring he had hatred for
only one: Max Schmeling. He hated him not because the
German had knocked him out, but because of the things
Schmeling told reporters after the fight. The Black CJhlan
claimed his victory was the natural triumph of a superior
race. He would beat Louis again and again. Louis, Schmeling
elimed, lacked courage as well as intelligence. He was a foul
fighter. (Schmeling is the only man who ever accused Louis
of being a foul fighter.)
Louis nursed his anger for two years, then finally vented
it in a bout never equalled for ferocity and savagery. Louis
landed 54 punches on Schmeling In the space of two minutes,
As Louis stalked in, a tiger ready for the kill, the best
the plainly -frightened Schmeling could do to protect himself
was to lean his head and shoulders outside the ropes. Louis,
having no other target for a right hand that thudded and
battered, pounded it to Max's side and back, until he screamed
in a high pitched voice: "Genugl Genugl Genugl"
it was then that a white-faced Max Machen, Schtneling's
trainer, threw in the towel that referee Arthur Donovan
picked up to throw out of the ring,
Schmeling wa.s taken from his dressing room to A Hospital.
It 'was three weeks before he was able to leave. And that
was the battle, we think, that gave .Toe Louis his greatest
thrill

Forty convicts took to flight
*e Hawaii a short time ago —
with official permission and ap-
p�rstival. They flew for more than
tB7e hours in a specially charter-
ed airliner. The object of the
taght? To view erupting Hamil-
ton volcanoes from the air.
The trip was a great success.
A most enjoyable time was had
by all. You see, the flight was
part of the educational activities
Ilulani Jail, Hawaii, where the
policy of treating convicts more
humanely is paying dividends.
All over the world, especially
ILS the united States, there's a
'tendency today to make prison
life a little more pleasant and
emigrant special privileges to con-
r''xbicts who behave themselves.
Only a few weeks ago a man
serving fourteen years in a U.S.
prisOn for burglary revealed that
lust before the offence he had
fallen violently -In love with a
pretty girl. He asked permission
to marry her, explaining to the
governor that it was hardly rea-
sonable to expect her to wait
until his sentence was up to be-
come his bride.
A few days later the convict
was allowed to change his prison
uniform for a smart, dark blue
suit and was given "a day off"
from jail to marry the girl.
The ceremony took place in
the chapel about a mile from the
prison. Two lawyers who had
isppeared at the man's trial acted
as best man and "bridesmaid."
Two hours after the ceremony.
the convict was told by his guard
that he must leave his bride and
return to prison, for his parole
was up, He kissed her tenderly
and as they parted he whispered,
"I love you," She replied, "I'll
wait for you, darling, and will be
faithful."
A remarkable story of a prison-
er's romance was told at a Not-
tingham summer school two Years
ago by a prison commissioner
while discussing prison education
in Britain, He said a middle-eged
convict applied for permission

JUTE SUIT -There's something in those burlap bags besides

to attend a special class to be
taught to write. When asked
why, he replied, "1 have met a
widow with a nice nest -egg. She
likes me and 1 want to keep in
touch with her while I'm in
prison."
The prison governor told him
the librarian would write his
letters for him, but the man re-
marked, "The kind of letters I
want to write to her are not
the kind I would like the li-
brarian to write, sir."
So the Convict was allowed to
attend the class and proved a
most apt pupil. Before he com-
pleted his prison sentence, the
widow said "Yes" to his admir-
ably written proposal of mar-
riage.
arriage.
The governor of an Oregon jail
decided to introduce a method of
dealing with convicts by "trust-
ing" them. The morning after he
had conceived the idea there was
a terrific thunderstorm which
caused a hundred head of cattle
on the prison farm to break
away and escape to the open.
country.
The governor picked out two
convicts who were serving long
sentences for burglary and sent
them out to roundup the fugitive
cattle.
"I want you two to bring all
those cattle back," he told them.
The convicts promised to come
back with the cattle. The gover-
nor gave them horses and enough
food for a week. As they were
setting out one of the men said
to him, "Those cattle may have
strayed some distance, so don't
be worried if you don't hear
from us."
But the governor did begin to
worry when, after ten days, he
had heard nothing of the men,
On the eleventh day, however,
back came the convicts with all
the missing cattle. They hacl had
hard rides over rough country
and, not being experienced cow-
boys, had had great difficulty in
rounding up the cattle. But they
had made good—and each re-
ceived a remission of his sen-
tence.
Granting privileges to convicts
can have amazing results, as the
governor of a jail in the Middle -
West of the United States dis-
covered some years ago.
At a prison concert one convict
revealed that he was a first-class
pianist. 'A talent spotter who
heard him offered him a radio
contract and he gave a broad-
cast performance from the pris-
on—with the governor's permis-
sion, of course.
So extraordinary was the wave
of hysteria aroused by his music
that he was pardoned halfway
through his sentence and drove
out of the prison gates in a new
car, the gift of his admirers.
In the car were 50 silk shirts,
300,000 cigarettes, twelve suits of
clothes, eight spare tires and
three Airedale terriers—all gifts
front his radio fans.
In his pockets were $3,000 in
cash and a two-year music hall
contract at an enormous salary.
Other gifts he had received while
in prison included forty clucks,
One ton of candy and two Ger-
man police dogs.
Convicts in a California prison
produce' their Own fortnightly
newspaper which helps to pass
the time for them ancle has also
led to a big improvement in their
behaviour. The newspaper now
has a circulation of 8,000.
In this prison the guards are
no longer armed and each con-
vict has a radio in his cell and
attends regular film shows, and
quizzes.
Another convict was such a
keen inventor that he asked and
got permission to experiment
during his five years' penal ser-
vitude in a Maryland jail.
•Ie w:orleed over twelve hours
a day for more than a year and
finally produced an ingenious
labour saving device for use in
the manufacture of boots and
shoes: This he sold while still in
prison. He then set about think-
ing up other inventions.
On the day Cf his release he
was offered a $5,000 -a -year job
with a business firm. This, added
to large royalties from his in-
ventions, helped to make him
a rich man.
Singing Sales art
Froin selling neon tubes to
seeing his name in neon lights—
that's the story of Dutch -man
Jos Borelli, who has just been
appointed first baritone of the
Koblenz Municipal Opera.
Ten years ago he was travel-
ling from town to town in the
Netherlands, selling neon tubes,
and making quite a good living
of it.
Then one day as he happened
to walk through the streets of
Amsterdam with his sample
brief case, he heard that an au-
dition was in progress at the Op»
era House.
On the spur of the moment
Jos deposited his case with the
porter and rushed in. Approach-
ing conductor Joseph Hrips, he
introduced himself as the sing-
er Jos Borelli from Italy. Hrips
did not fall for that one, and
told him firmly to go.
But being an accomplished
salesman, Jos Borelli stayed put,
and after a while Joseph Kripps,
astonished by such persistence,
relented, and said he'd hear him.
Jos sang an aria by Mozart,
and was iminediately offered a
job. He sent back his samples
to the factory and started a new
and successful career as a bari-
tone. Now, after much success
in Amsterdam, he has gone to
the German opera house at Ko-
blenz.
He has also been asked to give
recitals for the Danish and West
German radio.
