STATE WELFARE NID IS AVERAGE

Indiana Ranks Half-Way on List in Grants Given To Aged.

Indiang is a “middle-of-the-road” state in the size and number of its monthly welfare grants as shown in a survey of public assistance prepared by the Research Bureau of the Social Security Board. In average old age assistance awards, Indiana ranked about half way between the top of $32.73 a month paid by California and Arkansas’s low of $6.01. Indiana's average payment was $17.46, the survey showed, about a dollar and a Dal elow the national average of Compared with nearby states Indiana also averaged near the middle. States with higher averages were Ohio, $22.76; Wisconsin, $21.54; Illinois, $19.74; Michigan with $16.46 and Kentucky with $8.67, were under the Hoosier average. In proportion of elderly people on the assistance rolls the rank was about the same. Out of every 1000 persons over 65 years, 227 persons were receiving old-age assistance from Indiana county welfare departments. Oklahoma, with well over half of its population over 65 receiving assistance, was high while New Hampshire was low, paying awards to 88 out of each 1000. All nearby states with the exception of Wisconsin had a larger percentage of their aged population on relief rolls. The number of recipients per 1000 in nearby states was Illinois, 273; Michigan, 271; Ohio, 256; Kentucky, 244, and Wisconsin, 221.

BILL CORUM — famed sports writer and columnist

Conon SENSE and years of smoking experience have told Bill Corum what scientists have confirmed id their research laboratories — that the slower a cigarette burns, the cooler and milder the smoking. Some cigarettes burn fast, some slower, some just in between. Laboratory tests show Camels are definitely slower - burning (details below). Turn to Camels and get the extras in smoking pleasure—extra mildfiess, extra coolness, extra flavor, and extra smoking. Or, as Bill Corum puts it: “More pleasure per puff and more puffs per pack!”

in recont laboratory tests, CAMELS burned 25% slower than the average of the 15 other of the largest-sell-ing brands tested =slower than any of them. That means, on the average, a smoking plus equal to

30 Years in U. S. Navy Makes Harlon Stine Model Husband|

A lot of men in the 2209 block N. College Ave. would be more com-

fortable these days if their wives

hadn't heard what a model husband Harlon Stine is. Mr. Stine, who lives at 2230 College Ave. never. leaves his coat draped’ over the chair, his newspaper on the floor, or ashes carelessly strewn from his pipe. It’s the Navy in him.

After all, other husbands aren't to’

blame if thev haven’t spent 30 years in the Navy where neatness is just as natural as taking off your shoes before going to bed. Mr. Stine is out of the Navy now. but the Navy isn’t out of him. He left the Navy officially last Friday after 30 years of service, but Monday he was around helping the local recruiting office sell the Navy to young fellows as the “most wonder= ful life in the world.”

Now Owns Coal Company

He is now owner and manager of the Drexel Fuel Co., 2242 Bethel Ave., but the business of competing with some other dealer ovér a ton of coal doesn’t compare to’going to ocean on a battleship for him.

Local naval officials are glad that.

Stiney (that’s what the boys in the service called him) settled here after

he was éligible for retirement. Such’

fellows usually settle on the coast when they quit, they say. Stiney enlisted in the Navy in 1909 at the age of 17. He served on

Married in 1937

He traveled around for a few years and then in 1937 married Miss Edna Silver of Indianapolis. His wife’s father had been in the coal business and she knew all about it. So with the money he had saved, the newlyweds decided to set up their own business. It has been fairly successful too, Stiney says. As a sailor, he passed through the Panama Canal five times; crossed the Equator four times; made 13 trips to Cuba; went around

He had a nice time as a sailor but flaunted the custom of having a girl in every port. “I didn’t have anything to do with women when I was'in the Navy,” he says. “The Navy undoubtedly is the greatest life on earth,” he says, “They are a nice bunch of fellows and I can’t speak highly enough of It is the best op-
