TF12 Mrs. Crane and I visited the U.S. Penitentiary at Terre Haute, Indiana, where I spoke at the 8 a.m. Chapel Service The men were very ap preciative and probably half of them verbalized their thanks to me. A number of prisons are using the "Compliment Club" booklet to change anti-social outlooks. By - George W. Crane, Ph. D., M.D. CASE N-529: Max Huber is a staff official at the U.S. Penitentiary located in Terre Haute, Indiana. After conferring with Chaplain Graham, he asked me if I would come down some Sunday and speak at the chapel service at 8 a.m. Miss Becky Fugit was also invited to sing a solo just ahead of my address, and she thrilled everybody with "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Then I spoke for 30 minutes on the fact that if a person" changes his mental outlook, he can often rise from failure to glorious success. So I reminded the chapel audience of the time Jesus came down to the lake and found his Apostles fishing. They said they hadn't caught even a minnow all night. Whereupon, Christ suggested they merely cast their nets on the other side of the boat. And immediately the nets were so full of fish that they even broke in many places. Jesus could have criticized those fishermen for using patched, old nets. Or for not having modern, up- to-date boats. He might even have told them they needed to go back to college for a refresher course in piscatorial science. But Jesus didn't! He merely urged them to shift their outlook and take a new point on the compass. For they had all the attributes for success except a changed viewpoint! Then I gave them the example of Glenn Turner, who was born of a South Carolina sharecropper. Welfare funds even paid for his birth in a local hospital. Ann Glenn had a harelip, so he dropped out of school after the eighth grade. Finally, he entered the op portunity school in his home state where he became the chauffeur for the dedicated little old lady who was operating this school. ""Glenn," she told him, "you can do anything you set your mind to." That seemed to be the key that opened up an entirely new outlook. > For he buckled down to the task of making a huge success in business. He became a star salesman, and recently went back to South Carolina to bestow a gift of one million dollars on that op portunity school where he had obtained a new vision of life. Glenn Turner is now a multimillionaire, though only 36 years of age. And that's doubly remarkable, for with the present confiscatory taxes and other governmental red tape that stifle American business, it is much harder to win a success nowadays than when Edison, Ford, Mellon and other industrialists made their fortunes.

With the coming of spring, home owners will be anxious to have repairs and im provements made on their properties and, according, the Illinois 1 State Bar Association, many will fall prey to unscrupulous home im provement peddlers. The gyp operators, the ISBA warns, do shoddy work, use inferior materials, and often leave work undone and later cannot he located^ While stressing that the vast majority of home improvement great American, has also worked with prison inmates, teaching them that P.M.A. (Positive Mental Attitude) is the key to later success. And he cites only a 16 per cent, recidivist rate (repeater im prisonment) against 49 per cent for prisoners not so trained in P.M.A. When we violate the rules, whether in sports or in society, an umpire may put us out of the game temporarily. But smart men and women profit from their mistakes and can, convert those apparent stumbling blocks into stepping stones for later huge success. At the conclusion of our religious service, I stood at the door with Chaplain, Graham, and shook hands with all the men, almost half of whom verbally thanked me for my address. To change anti-social outlooks, send for the "Com pliment Club" booklet, en closing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 20 cents. (Always write to Dr. Crane in care of this newspaper, en closing a long stamped, ad dressed envelope and 20 cents to cover typing and printing costs when you send for one of his booklets.) contractors are perfectly reliable, the bar association recommends the following precautions to anyone who plans to contract for home improvements or repair work: 1) Ask relatives of friends to recommend contractors with whom they have had satisfactory experience. 2) Call the Better Business Bureau to determine whether any complaints have been made against the contractor. 3) Ask the contractor for references, including the names of customers who hired him for work similar to yours. 4) check the contractor's business address to be sure he has an office and a stake in the community. *5) Make sure the contractor ca rries. comp lete public liability and workmen's compensation insurance to cover injury on the work site. (j) Obtain any necessary permits from the village or municipal authorities." Generally, a permit is required to build a garage, make ad ditions to the house, or alter or expand plumbing or electrical work. '• 7) Demand a written contract 'hat includes detailed specifications, the date work should start, price to be paid, materials to be used and the date of completion. Have it examined by a lawyer. 8) Make a down payment no larger than is necessary to show good faith. Generally, five to ten percent is adequate. 9) Additional payments Citizens Are Of Itinerant Attorney General William J. Scott has warned all Illinois citizens to be extremely cautious in dealing with itinerant lightening rod salesmen. From Springfield to Paris, Illinois, where one woman gave workmen a check for $1,925 to intall new wiring, citizens are ' being bilked out of money for « . supposedly damaged lightening rods. By telling the home owner (often a woman living alone) ; that the existing lightening rod has been struck by lightening and damaged the wiring, the salesman-installer offers to • make the necessary repairs right away. Where no lightening rod exists, they ! simply sell the customer a new installation. The equipment is carried with the salesman, thus ; making it unnecessary for him * to make a return trip. All sales are cash. The attorney general's office ' is asking the help of all county sheriffs in Illinois in ap- 1 prehending these peddlers. Scott's office alleges that these salesmen ^are deliberately FOREST FIRES BURN Warned Salesmen misleading the customer with scare tactics and installing unnecessary equipment at exorbitant fees. In light of reports from victims of the hoax who informed Scott's office of salesmen asking questions as to bank balances, whether or not they live alone and gaining entrance to the home to do their work, it is feared that further reper cussions may occur. The ^alesmen, who are self- employed, obtain their mer chandise from a lightening rod manufacturing firm in Maryvllle, Mo., and often represent themselves as being directly associated with the Gnited Lightening Rod Protection company when, in fact, they are not. Should a man or woman appear at your home selling lightening rods, get their license number and name, if possible, and report it to your sheriff or local police.

If the work is extensive, arrange for a bank, mortgage company or other financial institution to handle payments. 10) Finally, don't select a contractor simply on the basis of a low bid. He may have underestimated the actual costs of doing the job correctly. MECHANIZED HARVESTS Seventy-six per cent of the 1970 Illinois corn crop was harvested by combine or picker-sheller, Agriculture Director Gordon L. Ropp has announced, adding that Illinois and Indiana lead in mechanized harvesting of corn, according to a five-state report. Illinois marketed 21 per cent of its 1970 corn production direct from the field; 60 per cent was placed in cribs, bins or temporary storage on farms, and 65 per cent of the stored corn was dried artificially. The detailed report, Bulletin 71-2, is available from the Division of Agricultural Statistics, P.O. Box 429, Springfield, 111. 62705. Pompeii claims the world's oldest proven hotels.
