The subscription lists of three other newspapers, the Mount Joy Star
and News, the Landisville Vigil and the Florin News were merged with
the Bulletin, which makes this paper's circulation practically double that
of the average weekly.
EDITORIAL
It is no longer a question whether a man is a Democrat or
a Republican. It is whether he is first an American and,
primarily, a patriot.
Autoists took the second toll of pedestrians at Florin with-
in the past few years. Contractor Jacob Snyder met his death
that way and Saturday night John Dunk was the second vic-
nu.
Now that the Republican registration in Lancaster county
outnumbered the Democrats 30,455 to 13,250, the result of
the Fail primary is practically settled. Those 17,705 should
certainly be a majority.
The Marietta Lions are setting excellent examples for other
service clubs. Recently they took over 100 boys to a ball game
at Philadelphia and next Tuesday its the girls’ turn. All girls
(ages 9 to 16) who desire, will be taken to Hershey for a trip
through the zoo and park.
1-H MEMBERSHIP GROWS
One of the most hopeful signs for the future of agriculture,
is that the enrollment in 4-H clubs passed the million mark
for the first time, in 1936. Membership continues to increase.
The young men and women who join the 4-H will be the
producers of tomorrow. In their club work, they are instruct-
ed in new methods and techniques that make it possible for
the farmer to raise larger crops and earn a greater return.
They are given an opportunity to develop qualities of leader-
ship that will prove invaluable to them in the future—for ex-
ample, in the agricultural cooperative movement which is
constantly growing in size and economic and social signi-
ficance. In brief, they are wisely making careers of farming.
EVERY FOURTH WORK DAY
“Americans must work nearly one full year out of every
eight—or about six we ks oul of every year—just to pay the
cost of the Federal government,” says the United States
News.
“When the local and state government costs are added to
the expenditures of the national government, the average
American must work two years out of every eight to pay the
cost of government.”
The tax collector gets a cut in every pay check. His unseen
hand reaches in and takes part of all the money you spend—
for food, amusement, clothing, train fare, power service. And
his percentage is today greater than it ever was in peace time
in this country.
The Twentieth Century Fund estimates that total
ment costs have swelled to $17,000,000,000 a year.
approximately 25 per cent of the national income
times. When you work four weeks, the public treasuries take
your earnings for one of the weeks.
During the next year or so we are going to “make a break”
so far as the tax problem in concerned. Every branch of
government spending must be checked, from the national
capitol to the city hall. We will have a let-up in tax hoosting
when, and only when, the voice of the people demands it.

HIGHWAY LIGHTING FOR SAFETY
“At least 35 per cent of the night fatal accidents, it seems
reasonable to believe, should be prevented by the provision
of adequate highway lighting,” according to a report of Tech-
nological Trends recently submitted to President Roosevelt
by the National Resources Committee.
Citing statistics compiled by the National Safety Council,
the report proves the vital relationship of visibility to night
fatalities, which in 1935 numbered 21, 480 and comprised
over 60 pet cent of the total day and night traffic deaths, even
though only one-fifth of the 24-hour traffic is on the road af-
ter dark.
From figures submitted by the states of New Jersey, Ore-
gon, New York, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, it was ob-
served that fatality experience was about the same for the
summer months of May, June and July as it was for the win-
ter months of November, December and January-—with' this
one important exception: Between the hours of 5 to 8 P. M.,
fatalities were 58 per cent higher in the winter months when
it is dark, than in the summer when it is light, and despite
the fact that traffic volume is considerably less in the winter.
The report estimates that a reduction of 47 per cent in night
fatalities during the winter period should be expected if sul-
ficient light were supplied.
Studies made by R. E. Simpson in 60 cities, quoted by the
report, showed that the average day fatality rate per M. T. U.
(million traffic units), on streets carrying 1,500 automobiles
per hour, was 0.046. The rate of night to day fatalities on
these same streets, according to the grade of street lighling,
varied from 8 to 1, to 47 to 1.
“While the extension of highway lighting may be justified
on the basis of cold dollars-and-cents economics, based on

LANCASTER MAN SHOT
AND KILLED BROTHER
John Gilbert Sourbeer, thirty, of
806 East Chestnut street, Lancaster,
was accidently shot and killed by
his brother, Averill L. Sourbeer, late
Saturday afternoon while they were
hunting groundhogs on a farm
southwest of Millersville.

anticipated reduction of night accidents, numerous other so-
cial effects may be expected,” the report continues, mention-
ing the advantages resulting from the reduction in highway
crime, more efficient utilization of highways, and increased
comfort and enjoyment in night driving. Estimates show
that about 80 per cent of traffic moves in the daytime as com-
pared to 20 per cent at night—a fact which indicates that the
tremendous investment in our highway system is in large
part being wasted during the hours of darkness.

New "Pen” At
Gretna Will
Be Circular
(From page 1
vices in tents drew worshippers and
converts from all parts of central
Pennsylvania.
It will be surrounded by 10,000
feet of tool-resistant steel mesh.
There will not be a tree, not a blade
of grass in the enclosure—no under-
brush through which a convict might
escape unseen.
The authority designated
the prison as of maximum
security—that is, it will be as es-
cape-proof as is possible. The walls
of the prison will be circular.
Janeway explained that the de-
parture from the rectangular to cir-
cular walls is prompted by the addi-
tional strength to be gained. Also the
cost will be reduced. He said that to
pour a concrete barricade of equal
safety and resistance would increase
the expenditure more than $100,000.
The center tower will be flanked
by two companion enclosures. The
central prison will house another
prison within itself, consisting of six
cell blocks of 592 cells. At the out-
side gate there will be a vehicle lock
and a guards’ house. The two gates
embracing this lock, as in all other
points of ingress and egress, will
lock in pairs. It will be impossible
to have both open at the same time.
The inmates will pass through the
receiving and quarantine units, en-
tering the circular tower by de-
scending in an elevator into the solid
rock and through a tunnel in this
rock to the interior of the huge cir-
cle. By the time a prisoner is lodged
in his cell he will have passed thru
a dozen locks.
An enclosure on the left will house
has
the workshops; the one on the right!
will be the exercise grounds.
One feature of security is a narrow
tower with a winding staircase wide
enough for only one person. Up this
cylinder must go every guard sta-
tioned on top of the main tower, and
from this tower access is had to the
other walls by two bridges.
Guards To Use Secret Codes
The guard on duty in this tower
controls all locks inside the prison,
and he operates them only by secret
codes telephoned to and from the in-
side. In case of emergency, this
guard, by touching a master button,
can secure all the main locks.
The corridor will run along the
outer wall and only indirect sunlight
will enter the cell after it screens
through the corridor ventilators.
Digging out of his cell, a prisoner
has only one direction, that leading
into the corridor. In any other course
he would come out in another cell or
compartment.
The guard on the catwalk above
the cell block will be able to look
through slits into every cell.
In keeping with the nature of the
prison, a new death house will be es-
tablished eventually, and the eclec-
tric chair will be removed from the
prison farm at Rockview, near Belle-
fonte.
