Local Man Wields s Brush Diligently, Paints Wrong Boat • ' i il * 'A 1 \ '■ Therejs really nothing to painting a boat, you know. It merely requires; few preparations such as scraping, mixing the paint, and the addition! of a great deal of patience. ' ’ ■ T. Hj(Tibby) Gehrig is endow--1 ed with iall these: the patience to scrape A boat, mix the paint, then apply it. < He spent a nice practical weekend accomplishing all; this on the Wildwood lauding at * Turkey lake, north of'here, where he keeps his Is. boat. • The boat was bushed upon the bank, then turned over with its bottom 'facing this sky. Gehrig spent o 4« entire Evening scraping the boat, getting |t ready for the next day’s early start on painting. He rushed out the next morning, barely noticed there ;wefe t|ro boats there, and began painting madly. ?His neighbor at the lake approached him after the work was well under way. ' “That** mighty generous of you,” the neighbor said. “What's generous of me?" Gehrig asked. | \ "That you’re painting my boat for me,p said the neighbor, An examination of the two boats proved ‘ the neighbor correct; it also proved that Gehrig gained some experience before beginning the job of painting the bottom of his boat. It also proves that the remainder of the above conversation is censored, y H ‘ But j the finalj proof rests in the fact that Gehrig’s boat is probably the only one at Turkey lake that, while, skimming over the water, the f|ph are laughing so hard they can’t find the- strength to bite the hooks offered them.

Ruling Sought On New Welfare Law Share In Federal Grant Endangered Washington. May 15.—(UR)— Indiana state officials sought to determine today if Indiana’s new law requiring that names of relief, recipients be public conflicts with federal jaw and endanger* its share in federal grantk under the social security program. Federal security administrator Oscar R. Ewing called a hearing at the request of the state to consider the situation. The federal security agency has made no ruling on the state law so far, nor have any officials given any opinion as to whether it vio latep the federal law requiring that information on relief cases be kept confident Al. , About a half-dozen other ’states afe eying the proceedings. These states, including Tennessee, Georgia and Florida, have been discussing similar legislation. But so far as was known here, none has taken any final legislative action. Should the federal agency decide that the Indiana requirement violates federal law the extreme action Lt could take would be to cut Indiana off from federal grants toward such things as old age and survivors benefits, and aid to the blind and to dependent children. Publicizing of those on relief has been suggested in various states as a means of getting chiselers off the rolls. Some opponents argue this would do no good as the chiselers would not mind the publicity. Others contend the answer lies in having a sound administration of relief programs. There has oeen no previous test of the question of publicizing the identity of recipients; There have been some complaints in the past, but on investigation it was found the persons involved were general relief cases handled under programs to Wh’eh the federal government was making no contribution.
