AT EARLIER MEETINGS Property owners of the area which it is proposed to include in the new Rural Electrification Membership Corporation project, in southwest Putnam, and adjoining parts of Clay a,id Owen counties, will meet again at Reelsville Thursday evening, to bring to completion the plans which wer^ put in operation at the earlier meeting, and before tVat by the efforts of local land owners of that area. In regard to the project. David L. Grimes said the tri-county project is reaching a final stage of organization—370 memberships have been signed at the present time and approximately 150 miles of line are assured. These results have been brought about by the untiring efforts of Wilson Taylor of the state-wide R.E.M. C., who has conducted several meetings in Putnamville, Reelsville, and Poland, and also to the diligent efforts of farmers in the community who h>.v« driven many miles and spent several days in securing membership. Fred Brandt, of the statewide R. E.M C. office of Indianapolis, is the engineer in charge of drawing up the plans for the project. Mr. Brandt stated in the Reelsville
tachment of the Germans have leached the frontier. Ten of these 1 at least have crossed into Sweden to
be interned.
The remainder of the Germans may try to fjght their way along this i oad, leaving a small suicide party at Rombak He.ights to cover their I A
retreat into Swaden.
The German force at Narvik and on the heights alternatively may try to fight its way either northward toward Tromsoe or southward to-
ward Bodoe.
In either of these events they would come to a tlead end road in a country held by superior forces of Norwegians reinforced by British and without food or other supplies. Or they may elect to mass on Rombak Heights for a last man
fight.
This is the course which those of the Germans I have talked to, the ones who crossed into Sweden, have told me they believe their comrades will choose.

could have the plans drawn up ready to be sent in to Washington, D. C., for approval by May 15th. It is not the desire of the organization to Irave anyone out who wishes to have electricity. However, very little soliciting will be done between now and the time the plans are drawn up. Therefore, if there are any persons who are not signed up and who care to do so, they should get in touch with one of the directors within the next few days because after the plans are completed it will be much more difficult to get
electricity.
The directors are as follows: Lloyd Houck, president; Claude Glover, vice president; C. H. Knoll, secretary - treasurer; Walter Pointer, Emery Sutherlin, Isaac Skelton, Har-
Commodore Bonte, commander of the German destroyer flotilla at Nar : vik. Norway, had been killed in 1 tion “in a heroic fight against perior Brftish forces.” No details were given. The rank of commodore in the German navy is above that of captain and one rating less than that of rear admiral. Bonte’s death was the most important casualty in the German armed forces since Col.-Gen, W'erner von Putsch was killed in action before Warsaw.

“They are, however, not always able to stand the pressure of living on the outside. They need friendly supervision and help from somewhere. Most of them do not have families or friends who can give this help. The community, through social agencies, can well afford to do so, because many of them will develop into useful citizens with just a little help. W e have enjoyed invaluable aid ; n hundreds of cases from the various Welfare Departments and Social Workers. We try to select carefully the cases we refer to such agencies and working togther, we can do much gooj. Without such fellow-work, our investment in trying to rehabilitate these men may be lost. We know this from expo ience and observation. Time does not permit me to go into individual cases, which I could very
easily do, to prove this point.
“We have approximately 300 boys under twenty-five, now in this lnst» tution. One does not need to go vety far back into the records to find that Hrrry Pierpont was making baskets here as a young, immature boy. Alfred Brady and James Dalhover worked long hard hours under stern prison discipline. Hugh Marshal and Vurtis Neal and I could name others who later became famous, or infamous, Indiana criminals, served their first time here and paid with
their lives in a few years.”
