Rehabilitation j
James Waile, Harkers Isle,
R. Moore, Marshallberg,
Work al Youih Cenier
James Waite, formerly of Hark
ers Island, and Reginald B. Moore
of Marshallberg, are playing an im
portant role in rehabilitation of
youthful prisoners in this state.
Mr. Waite is superintendent of
the Butner Youth center, Durham,
and one of the two members of
his staff is Mr. Moore. The other
is Kobert B. Hurley. All are ve
terans of world war II and serve
as counslors and tcaehers.
Branch of Prison
The Youth center, created last
March, is a branch of the State
1 rison department and is finan- ,
Cert by the Hospital Board of Con
trol. Superintendent Waite ex
plains that it is a center where
youthful prisoners might be taken
?first offendersi-to be rehabili
tated and prepared for a return to
society as useful citizens.
-It's something we should have
had a long time a>:o," he says
The Butner Youth Center is a
new experiment in North Carolina.
Boys sent there are hand-picked on
the basis 01 prison records and pos
sibility oi development. The cen
ter has no guards, bars, or guns
It was activated Oct. 1 when 30
bo.vs were sent in for landscaping
and "tearing down" work, Super
intendent Waite explains. The
boys are now helping to harvest
Butnei hospital crops and are busy
improving the physical appearance
of the barracks, he adds.
They are up at 5:30 to begin a
day of education, recreation, and
vocational training in machine shop
work, plumbing, electriciai work
carpentry, automobile repair, con
struction. firming, and dairying.
, They will also leave the center
with the equivalent of a Mgh
school education.
Sports Emphasized
Iterreatinn plays a big part in
the day s routine. The boys use
a large gymnasium, right now lack
? ing in adequit? equipment, but
Superintendent Waite says that
colleges arc cooperating and turn
ing over discarded sports essen
tials. Already the center's basket
I ball team has started practice and
is looking forward to a full-sche
dule se?son.
The superintendent is emphatic
in asserting that the Youth center
is not a prison camp. "It is purely
a rehabilitation center with our
sole aim to rehabilitate. The boys
are not committed to camp. They
earn the right to be here and de
serve our help. We try to set them
straight. Because of one mistake,
they should not be condemned."

any article. Mr. Walker emphasiz
ed. All that is necessary is to re

in?s.
Drop is Farm
Prices Predicted
For Next Year
If Tar Heel farmers expect to
1 keep their net income at present
! levels during the expected decline
n farm prices in 1950, it will be
necessary for them to plan their
operations carefully and keep pro
duction costs as low as possible,
says Movie S. Williams, farm man
agement specialist for the State
I College Extension service.
A 10 percent drop in farm prices
has been predicted for 1950 by the
| U. S. Department of Agriculture's
I Bureau of Agricultural Economics
Williams said. This is about the
same as the decrease in the 1948-49
crop year. Not only will prices be
lower, but it is likely that farmers
I will sell less next year, he adds,
j pointing out that acreage allot
; ments have been announced fpr
wheat and cotton and are probable
j for other crops.
For the individual farmer, saya
Williams, all of this will mean a
reduction in gross income and pro
| bably an even greater reduction in
realized net income. As was the
case this year, production costs will
probably decline less than gross in.
come. Such costs, which include
items like fertilizer and farm mach
inery. are expected to remain high.
Williams asserts that better
farm planning will be needed for
1950 Individual farmers, he says,
should strive to be better farm
managers, keep costs as low as pos
sible. and produce quality products
which will bring premium prices
to help keep income at present lev
els. Use of improved practices will
bring about higher crop yields at
lower unit costs, but poor farmers
who follow inefficient practices
will have difficulty breaking even.
