In These U S Unique Club In Big House Helps Needy
Atlanta Georgia inmates at the federal penitentiary run a welfare club that gathers about 150 dollars monthly for outside aid. Since its start, nearly 1000 people have benefited with aid amounts from 2.50 to 50 dollars, plus ongoing support. The drive began when an inmate proposed helping a mother whose son served overseas. Warden Sanford approved sending ten dollars, sparking a prison-wide effort led by Eugene Goodwyn and Martha Dennison to identify cases with Red Cross support. From prison wages, inmates have raised over 5,000 dollars in just over three years.

Traffic Violators Attend School and Write Essays
Lincoln Municipal Judge Edward C. Fisher replaces fines with a two-part penalty for youths 18 and under. Offenders face a traditional fine or attend juvenile traffic school. At sessions twice monthly, they watch a safety film, hear a city official lecture, and write a 1000 word essay on why they won’t repeat the offense. Parents must also attend. Adults may choose license forfeiture, school, or essay writing. Judge says many courts are a joke and a revenue racket.
