HARDWOOD GOSSIP WOULD APPRECIATE A SCHEDULE FROM RUSSELLVILLE. WE HAVE COMPLETE SCHEDULES FROM EVERY SCHOOL EXCF.PT THE RUSSELL TWP. ONE. This week and next week's program of basketball games in the county promises to he the best since the season started. Russellville and Roachdale clash Friday night on the Hawk eonrt. Gossip refuses to make comment, knowing that ’most anything might happen. Stilesvill plays at Fillmore, Belle Union at Amo and Clinton at Bainbridge that same ev-

ening.

Greencastle fans are looking forward to the game Saturday night with Martinsville. It will the the Cubs' second game with a big team, having been beaten by Frankfort two weeks ago. The Artesian City ! ads haven't a very impressive record this season. They have been defeated by Franklin, Washington and LaPorte. Their best game was with Bedford which they won, 29 to 24. Saturday night Roachdule’s Hawks and Russellville both go into action a second time this week, Roachdale playing at Marshall and Russellville | meet’ng Green Township at home.

When Paragon met Belle Union last week neither team had been beaten, but Bellen Union kept its s’ate clean and chalked up one loss for the Paragon snipers, 24 to 20. Hardwood Gossip talked to Principal Jarrell, of Reelsville High, who said the game was a real thriller. Mr. Jarrell was the whistle tooter and we can’t help but feel sorry for the referee in such a game.

Fight Tuberculosis Headers Speak (The Times-News welcomes brief letters from its readers on any proper subject, which would be plainly written, on one side of the paper. The editor must know who the writer is, but the writer's name need not appear in print. The Times-News does not assume responsibility of any sort for any statement made in these letters.) To the Editor of The Times-News; As a sample of the effect of the Economy Law has had on the local business in Greencastle as well as the effect it has had upon the veterans of the Spanish-American War, the Philippine Insurrection and the Chinese Boxer Rebellion let me say that last June there were 26 veterans of the above wars receiving pensions that were spent here in Greencastle. The amount of these pension checks was approximately $1,405 per month This means that this amount of money was spent in our local community for the necessities to maintain the homes of these veterans, part of it to help pay the local taxes. Since this law went into effect July 1, 1933, the number of veterans has been reduced to 21 who will receive checks and the total amount received will be approximately $478 per month, thus saving $927 per month but not for the local taxpayer. To the four widows of Spanish War veterans, who did receive $30 per month each, the amount is reduced to $15 per month each, making a saving of $60 per month to the government from the widows. This law also had its effects upon the veteran in regard to receiving treatment from the hospitals maintained by the federal government an-; the soldier homes, as a veteran to be eligible to receive hospital treatment or care in the soldier homes maintained by the federal government must be suffering from a ser-vice-connected disability, and for a veteran who served in the Spanish \V ar, the Philippine Insurrection or the Boxer Rebellion It is almost impossible to estab'ish.thls evidence after 35 years since he served. One local veteran of the Spanish War who was receiving pension before the Economy Law went into effect has recently been notified that he would have to refund the money received by him after July i, amounting to $120. One local Spanish War veteran 57 years old with nine In his family, who is 75 per cent disabled, was drawing $50 per month. With this amount he managed to care for his family but under the new law he has been reduced to $15 per month, just enough to pay his rent and since he is unable to do any work, the food and clothing for this family will have to be obtained from the local comnunity. one v«ter*o of tie World War

sent back from France paralyzed on one side and still In this condition was notified that after July 1 his compension would be cut off entirely. He has a wife and three children. Another one that was reported killed in action but recovered and returned to the front lines and was gassed and received three machine gun bullets in the head and a piece of shrapnel in one eye, was drawing $50 per month for T. B., the effects of the gas. He was notified he would he reduced 75 per cent until his case was reviewed. We all know that this reduction of payments to the disabled veterans has not reduced our taxes one cent— then who is it going to benefit? Let us stop, look and listen before we jump on the cripples, widows and orphans. They are just as patriotic as they were during the war days and are in favor of any law that is fair to them and to the taxpayer. It was 35 years ago last Spring that old Company I, 159th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, that was made up of the young men of Putnam county was formed on the public square on their way to the train that was to take them to the SpanishAmerican War, the City of Greencastle presented them with a beautiful American flag to carry with them. These young boys were your neighbors and to some they were your chums and childhood playmates and now they are the ones in their old days that are having the necessities of life taken from them. Their average age is about 60 years. We remember how proud we were of them when they were marching away in their uniforms of blue; let us still be proud of them, as they are still our neighbors and friends and a part of the community. I wish to remind you that Putnam county has a veteran of the World War who served in France now in the County Poor House. This veteran was drawing compensation from the Veterans' Administration for a service-connected disability and was therefore able to care for himself, but the Economy Law discontinued the payments and as his physical condition was such that he could not work he had to go to the County House. Of course, the local taxes take care of this and not the Federal Government. Then who is this Economy Law benefitting? Not the citizens of Putnam county, for it is bound to increase the appropriation for the local poor relief and at the same time it takes that much money that the local veterans were receiving out of circulation and just that much money is taken from the local merchants. Yours, "BILL DOUGHBOY.” (A Veteran)
