It is proposed to tap the main power line at the foot of :Diagonal Road; Wingharn and run to Biuevale and thence to the outskirts of Wroxeter•,. a distance of about nine miles, This will require a minimum of twenty seven patrons, a not impossible thing,. when there are already quite a few signed . up, Mr: Purcell, of the H.

MAKING PRISONERS WORK There is renewed interest in the proposal announced two years ago by former Attorney -General W. F. Nick - le that provision should be made for the maintenance of prisoners' depend- ants, 2vIiss' Macphail pressed the point in the House of Commons in 5926, when the principle Was accepted that prisoners be given enough product- ive work to assist in keeping their dependents.' Hon. Ernest" l'apointe, Minister of.Justice, is now said to be giving the platter careful considera- tion with a view to action in the not distant future. The Winnipeg Tribune points to the evils of "soul-destroy- ing idleness'' for prisoners. Comnittni- ties which are forced, to care for such dependents do not 'relish their btu• 'deo. Thus the argument forsortie • ac- tion is strong, from whatever angle at is ;viewed. There used to be a prejudice in in- dustrial circles against ordinary pro- ducts having to compete with the out- put of prisons. The prison output, howev,er, is small ,at the most, and themi con ec o c and social arguments for keeping prisoners at least partial- ly at, work are so strong that the opposition > Can - 11 .hardly prevail. The shame of their position surely is ‘enough punishment fax the .depend- ents to suffer, They should not be left to destitution or the charity of their conittn.ity; If s' prisoner 15 .re- quired to work, and his family, derives the 'benefit, there is 'establish e1 a link which should melee for his regenera- tion.. Many criminals are idlers, anti enforced work during detention should be berieficial fortheir future, Perhaps, as The Brockville Times and Recorder says, the welfare of his fam- ily is usually one of the last things a criminal thinks abut, but if . he knows that while in; prison he will. have to work hard, and that his work. will be 'translated into sustenance for others, he may think twice before run - iii The Mintstelr, of Justice doubtless has many aspects of the case to Con- sider,' but he 'Car1, with confidence basten action on a.projcct -which is:. s'o desirable.—Globe Jan, g, WINS COURSE AT O,AC.
