Growing Up Fast

Last month the Wallkill, N. Y. Prison Group celebrated its second anniversary with more than 50 members as compared to the handful who began the work.

Members have expressed their thanks for the interest of the warden, Dr. Walter M. Wallack and his sponsoring committee as well as the visitors from outside groups, many of whom have conducted meetings. The Wallkill Group is proud of the fact that 70 percent of A.
