About The County Jail?
Denied the right to speak with a friendless youth
held in jail on a vagrancy charge, your editor wonders
what conditions in Hutchinson coun,ty are coming to.
Where ever the light of truth and publicity is denied
the chance to shine, darkness and corruption is gen-
erally the rule.
Just why does the county jailer refuse admittance
to his jail?
Whenever newspaper men are refused the right to
visit and investigate either a public place or any public
records, the public should be seriously concerned.
What are the conditions in our county jail? When
has tt statement of these conditions ever been given the
public?
Prisoners are entitled to human treatment. Do they
always get that kind of treatment?
There are some jails where the linen and bedding-
are never changed. Some jails are even infested with

parking between the lines was
particularly important for both
the convenience of drivers and
the protection of the car. "No (
one is likely to ram your fender

means protection."

DAN CAMBERN. jailer in

emphatic in his refusal to admit
McCann who tried to explain that
his visit to the jail was for the
purpose of helping the youth.
McCann states that he knows

Knight advised keeping barrels

"We must all work together to
make Borger a cleaner town and

January, according to Mrs. Louise
Hood, deputy tax collector and

will probably be issued this year.
A large percentage is expected
from Borger since a city election
will be held in April.
It has been pointed out that

ion but for school elections, and
any special elections or bond is-
