Frandsen, Carbon county district attorney, spoke before the Kiwanis club of at their regular meeting last week on the subject, The Mr. Probation System in Utah. Frandsen explained that probation is action taken before the defendant is sent to prison as likened to parole which occurs after a prison term. The complete rehabilitation of would-b- e criminals is the aim of the probation board, Mr. Frandsen said. He indicated that many crimes are committed by first-o- f fenders who, if handled properly, will mend their ways and be the good citizens they were. Probation is offered to this type of defendent for a one-ye- ar period. Persons on probation are regulated strictly and are enjoined to ' commit" no ' offenses, however, slight, during the probation period. After successful 'Drobation. the defendent is free of the law. An additional fact not . too Mr. Frandsen widely known, stated, is that probationers may, after four years, apply to the court to have their plea withdrawn and subsequent action taken to erase the charge from the Mr. Frandsen said that books. many alife, of crime is averted in this manner since repentant offenders will grasp this as their salvation and cease their crim- - Sun-nysi- de -- 40 inar&cts.

An outraged group of East Carbon parents met Sunday afternoon to discuss the school bond issue that will be voted on April 26. These parents, feeling that the proper education of their children is one of the most important factors in the childs life, are of the opinion that the Board of Education is trying to railroad a bond issue through without giving any consideration to their needs. The news of the bond issue and what it proposed to do stunned the parents.1 No one appears to have had any knowledge of what the school board was trying to do. Everyone was in complete darkness.
