Book Explains State Figures

‘William H. Book, Indianapolis . Otimber of ‘Commerce ‘executive "ice president, said one reason for ¥ Indiana’s low average is the fact) . that the state probably submits ‘more comprehensive reports than . some other states, with more weight “being given to the rural counties which have low average allowances. Mr. Book said Social Security ¥ ard figures for averages by In{d ana’s . counties in September showed Ohio County's average low, ‘with $635, and Steuben County high, with $2506. The average for all Indiana counties for September «Was $13.65, Marion County averag-| Jing $12.37. 5 “Averages for some other counties! avere Vanderburg, $15%2; St. Udseph, $17.04; Lake, $2191: Allen, spe Vigo, $10.11; Delaware, $9.75: Tippecanoe, $14.65; Johnson, $8.53; ES) elby, $8.92; Morgan, $8.08; Wayne, 1046; Hamilton, $1136; Boone, $89.27; Hancock, $8.92.

\' "One reason for Marion County's! low-average figure, Mr. Book exained, is medical care.
