Few men who wapt to work are without jobs these days. Factories are adding workers as the rearmament program gets underway and in another six months the number of industrial employes will be further increased. The legislature should take these facts into consideration while debating what to do the bills to boost unemployment pay. The ' State now pays S2O for 20 weeks, which of course won’t purchase many luxuries. On the other hand a to $25 or $27 a weelcvas one proposal provides, would encourage idleness among those who would, rather not work.

New Civil Defense Plan Under Study Urge State Police To Handle Duties Indianapolis, Feb. 13 —(UP) — A new civil defense plan, mailing tor the chief executive and administrative duties to be bandied by state police, was being formulated today by the' Indiana house wdys and means committee “A.” Ghairnian Jess C. Andrew. R„ Wist Point, advanced the suggestions, purely in the interests of economy, he said. It would cost the state “about $75,000,” compared to 7|ie proposed biennial appropriation of $l5O 000 for administration alone under the bill currently being considered, Andrew said. He proposed an additional 10 troopers, probably wtth Lt. Frederick Cretors in charge. Cretors has been handling the major share of civil defense w4rk thus far under Supt. Arthur M. Thur-ion. The nine state police posts each would receive one additional man who would spend ’Rhe majm share” of his Mine wording on civil in the counties under control of his post. ■ ; : ‘ "I would like to see this reported out pot later than tomorrow,” hr said m a committee inciting xesti-rdai “Ten men from : tale police would/ be ehrnprr ilnih hl; lie- a new <nw who don’t know anything about it.” George Craig Heads Easter Seal Drive t|oN . t’r.ii'A of Ih.i/Il ItfiiMe-filiilti p.iHl Mnalloniii »<>m mmidri tff the Aineritiin l.rmon, Ums hreii appnliHifl rhiUrman of 'lm; IUSI Eimtrr srnl lumpalgn fto Ihtlliimi,His Mpimlntinont wim .iiinoiijoyd by 11.

After a abort pause ne suddenly took a hand out ot a pocket; I there was a Cigaret case in his fingers. He opened it, took out a cigaret, felt m the pocket for a lighter, and bent his bead to get a light. When the cigaret was going, ne askeq casually, "May 1 ask a question T It's legitimate when there’s something of this kind offered for sale. Where did the envelope come from?" “We know where « came from originally," said Gamadge, "From the rosewood box in the Coldfield attia You'll bo rather disgusted.
