To Present Voice Recital ... A great cotton for machine picking and mechanical production! Coker Carolina Queen normally sets an early heavy crop of bolls that open uniformly with excellent fluff, making it especially well adapted for machine harvest ing. Its medium-size bolls, open erect plant, excellent stalk strength and tendency to fruit well off the ground help account for Carolina Queen’s popularity among picker operators. These characteristics, plus thin foliage and uniform plant size, also help assure more complete insect control. The man who grows It, knows it.

The musi cians showed such talent that guests were surprised to learn that the band was organized only two weeks ago. A social hour followed the pro gram. Lack of education as a con tributing cause of crime is shown in the fact that of the 300 felons at Odom less than 3 per cent are high school graduates and only one felon is a college graduate. Thirty-six had less than a fourth grade education. The General Education Devel opment programs of North Car olina prisons is similar to high school. After achievement tests the men are directed to classes they are best qualified for. Class es began last September with Charles S. Ward ofRoanoke Rap ids, teaching all classes except those of the lower level. This is done by a colored inmate who graduated from the GED course at Caledonia unit two years ago and who hopes to attend college when he is free. One hundred forty two felons are taking the schooling. Each one to sChObT ohedayaweek a'hd'' cohlinues' his i work ’ on'The prison farm the ot^»- Since the program began. In terest In reading has Increased. The prison library contains 1,- 000 volumes and subscribesto 17 magazines. Northampton County bookmobile makes regular visits to the unit. Though the prison educational system is in no way connected with the public school system, the Northampton County and Roa noke Rapids school systemshave cooperated by supplying mate rials. Major Logan, in an interview, said that inmates show great interest in the educational pro gram, which is voluntary except for the lower levels. Men are given self assurance and the de sire to improve themselves. "The nature of the unit is be ing changed from correctional to rehabilitationaJ’’ said Logan. "Those who go to school give a lot less trouble and we have a tremendous cut in repeaters." In upgrading the prison sys tem, terminology and practices have been replaced by more pos itive attitudes. The old chain gang camps have gone. Camp has become a unit, guard has become a custody officer; cell block a dormitory; the hole, seg regation, Director Logan is call ed Big Daddy. During ceremonies Inmates stood or sat on opposite sides of the prison. I learned that they do not come in contact with one an other. Those on one side had been informers who had squealed on others during trials. They are hated by the other felons. Some times these Informers are ha rassed by gangs when they are freed. However, many inmates rea lize that officials are doing some thing for the prisoners’ own good in training them to meet the out side world. "We’ve got some very smart boys who are getting along bet ter and thinking differently," said Logan.
