Loans From Ex-Convict Help With Rehabilitation
Ben F. Fields Plans to Extend His Program Through Nation.
By GUS FIELDS Times Special Writer
TULSA, Okla., Nov. 7.—Nearly 10}
years ago the president of an Oklahoma investment company stood before Federal Judge Franklin E. Kennamer and was sentenced to serve 15 years in prison and pay a $5000 fine. He had been convicted of using the mails to misrepresent oil royalties to prospective investors in the firm .of which he was president— the Fields Investment €o. And so Ben F. Fields was taken away to. Leavenworth. During his “stretch” he was transferred to Atlanta, later to the model prison at Lewisburg, Pa. There, under the prisoners’ self-rule setup, he became commissioner of athletics in charge of recreation.
Did ‘a Lot of Thinking
In those three prisons Ben Fields did a lot of thinking about himself and his fellow convicts. He had heard plenty about how tough it was for a convict once he got out, and he vowed he'd try to do something about it. He was paroled April 7, 1938, and on Jan. 13 of this year was given a pardon by President Roosevelt. Today he lives in Tulsa, says he has enough money saved to get along on. He devotes all his time to the task of helping other paroled, pardoned and discharged ex-con-victs regain a respectable place in society.
Loans for Convicts
He has organized the Field Foundation — a chartered non-profit institution whose purpose is to grant loans to ex-convicts from.the time they are released until they get a job. He plans to have the foundation give personal attention to rehabilitation of each case. Loans will be made without interest or administrative charges. No security except

tries to rewith
the man’s word is required. The revolving fund will be maintained through investments by the foundation’s board of directors, and a continuous campaign will be waged for new gifts to the fund.
The foundation’s first case was that of a young man who came back to Tulsa from a federal prison after serving time for a postal robbery. When he failed to find a job, he became discouraged, asked for readmittance to the penitentiary. The case came to Field's attention, andl his foundation loaned the young man $55 while Fields tried to find him a job. He is now working as a trucker’s helper and paying back the loan. The" foundation’s main concern is with first offenders on their release from prison. Plans call for extension of the organization into other states, and for opening offices in Washington, D. C. An advisory board of penologists, psychiatrists
and philanthropists will be organ-
ized.

By NEA Service NEWBERRY, Mich. Nov. T.—As it must to even the best of wolves, death came to -ornery Old Clubfoot the other day. After eluding the hot lead and cold steel of upper Michigan hunters and trappers for many a year, the notorious old timber wolf ran afoul of a radio technician by the name of Leslie Powis, who lives here in Newberry. At least twice before the big brute had been trapped. Both times he tore loose, losing a forepaw once to get his nickname, Old Clubfoot, and dropping two claws from his other front foot in the second encounter. But the other day Old Clubfoot

was not as young as he once was, and he put his foot in it. Mr. Powis placed his set so that the wolf en-
tered a narrow approach . and couldn’t miss the trap. This time the trap held. Mr. Powis, whose hobby is trapping, had prepared his own special “wolf call,” had waited with baited trap. for three weeks after running across the trail of the wolf whose forays had made him the most sought-after animal in the upper peninsula. Old Clubfoot was eight feet from tip to tip, and that’s some wolf. But he was gaunt,- having fallen upon unhappy hunting in his old age be-
cause of his missing paw. He weighed about 100 pounds, but Mr. Powis estimated he would have hit 150 had he been in good flesh.

Waterless cooking is as easy as pie when you usé the simmer burner on a modern gas range. You: just turn the burner valve until it clicks—that’s all! The clean, blue flame automatically adjusts itself immediately to a low simmering heat. Gently and efficiently the simmer flame spreads over the entire bottom of your pan—eliminating scorching and “spot” cooking—eliminating hard boiling and clouds of dirty, greasy steam. Pre-’ pared the waterless way, your foods cook in their own juices—they remain rich in vitamins, appetizing in their natural colors.
