The Indiana Reciprocity Commission today met to discuss proposed truck license fee agreements with Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. According to Frank Finney, State Auto License Commissioner, the Indiana commission is to attend a 14state meeting at Kansas City next Tuesday to discuss enlargement of the reciprocity program. Indiana now has such agreements with Illinois, Michigan and Ohio. Negotiations have been in progress with Kentucky for several weeks.

Other Commission members, in addition to Mr. Finney, are State Highway Commission Chairman T. A. Dicus and Public Service Commissioner Fred Bays. Mr. Finney said the Governor's Co-ordinating Safety Committee is to meet Friday with Lew Wallace, Motor Vehicles Commissioner, and J. Stannard Baker.

|Boys of Co. 22 Set Up Table, Hire Band, GALA WEEK PLANNED And Give Blowout for Cap'n Cochrane,| FOR PURDUE ALUMNI Retired After 48 Years of Fire Fighting

‘I's Not as Much Fun as in Horse and Wagon Days,’ Veteran Says.

By JOHN MARTIN

When the fire engines from Company 22 clank past 24th and New Jersey Sts. this spring and the boys wave to an old man sitting on the front porch of a frame house on the corner, that will be Cap'n Willian T. Cochrane. The chances are they’ll see him down at the statin house five blocks east at 24th and Carrollton, too. ‘They’ll pe glad to have him drop in on them, they told him last night at a farewell dinner in the station. He was their captain for about 30 years; and when he retired from the force Jan. 25, he had 48 years of service behind him —more than anyone else in the department. The boys in Company 22 moved the engines out on the sidewalk last night, put up a big table in the engine house, hired a fivepiece band and gave the Cap'n a blowout. Everybody There

They were all there, along with the neighbors who had known him these many years. Some 25 children plastered their noses on the windows and peered in the doors. They knew the Cap’n, too. The Cap'n sat in front of the brass sliding pole at the place of honor, After the dinner, Capt. Walter Giezendanner, now No. 22’s captain, introduced the Cap'n, pointing out that during 48 years, he had missed only six weeks and three days (mostly when he was laid up by a horse's kick). Capt. Giezendanner presented a gold medal to the retiring captain—a medal from the boys in Company 22. The Cap’n thanked the boys, but there wasn’t much he could say. He had been there a long time. The worst fire he ever saw was the Bowen-Merrill fire on Washington St., between Meridian and Illinois in 1890 when 13 firemen were killed and about 20. hurt in a roof collapse. He recalled other bad ones, like the Surgical Institute blaze at Georgia and Illinois Sts. Then other men said a few words. Assistant Chief Roscoe McKinney, Assistant Chief -Herbert Fulmer, Battalion Chief Michael Murphy, Battalion Chief Robert Hansel and Battalion Chief Otto Petit.

Recall Old Days

They recalled old days of the horse-drawn vehicles; and the Cap'n said it wasn’t as much fun now as it was then. Chief Fulmer remembered one time about 1911 when he was whirling out to a fire in the city’s first motor-drawn car and came on Cap'n Cochrane, snorting along in a horse wagon. The Cap'n wouldn't let the new horseless carriage past, but stayed in the center of the street all the way. Harry Bollinger, 341 E. Minnesota St., who retired yesterday after 42 years’ service, said the same thing: “Fire fighting isn’t what it used to be,” he said. Cap'n Cochrane pointed out that they used to go out with two men on the horse-drawn wagon. The driver would pull right up to the fire and the other man would lay the hose, then they would both carry it in. Now five men are on each wagon, Hose is smaller, too. And aluminum ladders are coming in. “They’ll have women fighting fires next,” he said. He said the best thing about his business is the way you get to know your men and the fun you get out of becoming good at locating fires.

schalk, State welfare administrator, |:

declared that the theory of public welfare is inherent in the Federal

Constitution which mandates the |:

Government to “promote the general welfare” '§f its people. Forecasting a broadening scope for government in the welfare field, Mr. Gottschalk said: “We like to think of our public assistance, relief and social security programs as being a new venture into the realm of government responsibility for the needs of the individual, as a human being. “At no point in the Indiana welfare program do I consider that the

proper functions and prerogatives of | the local official community are | being usurped. In fact, the county |

welfare department today has a
