was issued today by Deputy Con-

“A number of people who drive
out to the state park or other
places along the road come back at
an absolutely unreasonable rate of
speed,” Bosley commented “Sunday
afternoon I gave a ticket for speed-
ing to a man who hit the city
limits doing 70 miles an hour."
Bosley pointed out that even be-
fore reaching the city limits, some
rather densely populated sections
are along the road. He cited the
danger of excessive speed on that
particular stretch. particularly com-

you don't get enough ' bulk:' And
‘ bulk’’ doesn't mean a lot of food.
It’s a kind of food that isn’t con-
sumed in the body .but leaves a soft

Since the board has been acting

"It does not seem fair to the con-

The main difference between our
system of computing overtime and
the ruling is on what constitutes a

the statutes specifically said thatI

a convict 'shall be entitled to one [

Weardon said, however, that the I
