October 13, 1 PrimaryinRetro pect light — Actually though, the 20.9 per cent turnout was higher than in some primaries of the past. Election officials estimate Provo has about 32,966 registered voters, A total of 6,901 of them showed up at the polls Tuesday. Polling in someinstances was close enough to warrant speculation that a heavy turnout could have altered the final standing in a place or two. In any case, four candidates emerged as primary winners, qualifying as finalists in the Nov. 8 municipal election. They deserve the congratulations of an electorate which now must make the final decision less than four weeks hence. In the mayoralty race, incumbent Russell D. Grange will be challenged by James E. Ferguson. And for the city commissioner post which FE Odell Miner will vacate at the end of the HOUSE Crime Compensation So They Say Penal experts have long advocated getting away from the depressing ‘zoo’ aspects of most prisons. Glass, noted one of them in Milwaukee, “‘is less threatening than bars, less brutal.” Already the supertoughglass is being used in the psychiatric section of Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington and in the control center of Attica State Prison in New York. As the poet said long ago, stone walls do not a prison make nor iron bars a cage.
