‘New Law Will Affect 353 Towns in Indiana After Jan. 1.

Health offices in 353 Indiana towns are to be abolished Jan. 1 «when. the act- requiring that the

.pointment- 6f all county health offi~cers goes into effect, Dr. Verne K. Harvey, State Healtn Director, said .today. . eet County health officers under the new setup are to be responsible for health conditions in incorpofated towns as well as rural areas, he said, but cities are to continue to have their own departments. Passed by the 1935 Legislature, this revision act provides that county commissioners shall continue to appoint health officers. This is to be done Jan. 1, since the present officers’ four-year terms expire at the end of 1937. °

Politics to Be Disregarded *

“In approving these appointments, the State Health Board is not going to give any consideration to the political affiliations of the appointees,” Dr. Harvey said. “We are to consider them strictly on the basis of merit, and in cases of reappointment on the records they have in this office for reporting disease conditions.” “After Jan. 1, 1939, the State Health Board is to review appointment of all city health officers except in Indianapolis. - At present only one county health officer is not a ‘physician. Under the new requirements all must be doctors. In the past most town health officers were not doctors and many proved themselves unable to perform the duties of their office efficiently, Dr. Harvey said. : .

85 Per Cent of Grants Go to ‘Replace Others, Gottschalk Finds.

Eighty-five per cent of children receiving aid under the State Welfare Act in Marion County were taken from the rolls of public or private relief, Thurman A. “Gottschalk, administrator, reported today. * Welfare officials have attempted to give first-assistance to families where evidence of inability to support children is known to relief authorities, he said. In a survey of the first year’s activity under the act, Mr. Gottschalk said in five counties, Lagrange, Brown, Rush, Scott and Vermillion, every recipient had come from homes being supported by relief funds. Under the act, the counties are required to contribute only 27 per cent of the cost of the program while the State and Government give 40 and 33 per cent, respectively. Most Applicants Refused “This has taken a heavy relief burden off communities that formerly had to pay the full cost of caring for: dependent children,” Mr. Gottschalk said. “They are being lioused in their own homes or in those of relatives approved by the Board.” Tabulation of pension applications for the past three months revealed that only one-third ‘had been granted. Principal reason for denial of old-age assistance was a lack of proof of age or a showing that applicants could be supported by relatives, the Administrator said. Rejection of most childrens’ applications resulted from investigations that showed parents could support them. Blind persons’ applications were refused in most cases because their sight failed to meet. statutory definition of blindness.

They were just across the creek (Soochow) from my section, and I spent about 14 hours a day for four days observing them.”
