The Roof Garden
The main committee reports
that all sub-committees are now
well organized and preparations
are going forward without a hitch.

treat, even to the extent of import

Bob Scott, writing to his par
ents from Los Angeles, where he
is completing his studies in dra
matics, says: “Dad, I have seen
two of the stars scheduled for

people.” They will, of course
travel incognito, and be known
only to Charlie Jones and Dewey
Anderson upon their arrival.
The Raffle committee secured a

It is on display in Polet’s window.
Take a look. No charge. Also on
display is a beautiful silver tip fox.
Prime, rare fur from Point Bar

ment for all; good music; old time

of fun for $1.25. Refreshments

Convicts Protest
Meatless And
Eggless Days
(Continued from Page One)
yesterday, the warden disclosed
that a committee inmates, chosen
by fellow convicts, had conferred
with him on suggestions for im
proving the service. The demon
strators included all the prisoners
in the main building.
‘‘At no time was the orderly
schedule of the institution dis
turbed," the warden said. “No riot
ing or serious disorders occurred
at any time during the demonstra
tion.”
He had plamed the protest,
started by 250 inmates Sunday
evening, mainly on the difficulty
in serving a “varying diet" under
the President’s food conservation
program.
An inmate, just released, Jose
Gonzales, 28, a former Santa Fe,
N. M., shoemaker, gave a some
what different version. He had
just completed a 21/2 year sen
tence, five months in the hospital.
Prisoners “never got enough to
eat,’’ he said, and the only good
meal he could remember was on
Thanksgiving day. Most of the
diet most of the time was of tne
“boiled" variety—“boiled macar
oni, boiled parsnips, boiled cab
bage and boiled beans.”
The warden commented that
Gonzales had probably been care
fully “coached.”
Last night’s dinner menu the
warden said was this:
Creamed salmon on toast,
mashed potatoes, string beans,
sliced tomatoes, preserved prunes
and coffee.
With all the good Puget Sound
salmon fishing waters all around
the island, the salmon should have
tasted good. Or should it?
