would “not comment” on the situation. The state's welfare program is a $25,000,000 operation — ‘$25,252,854 for the 1941 fiscal year.
For that period, the counties paid . only $6,811,105, the state’s share was $7,371,137 and the federal government paid $11,070,661. For the period from July 1, 1941 to June 30, 1942, the federal government’s share of this assistance was $11,719,875.
7396 Old Age Clients
For the 1941 period, this county had 7396 old age pension clients on its list, at a total expenditure of $1,641,768. Of this amount, $819,622 was paid by the federal government, $493,287 by the state, and the remaining $328,858 by Marion county. There were, in the same period, 4375 dependent children on the county department's lists, at a total outlay of $847,702, of which the county itself paid only $190,121. Blind assistance amounted to $81,463, of which $40,731 was contributed by the state, an equal amount by the federal government and NOTHING by the county.
Aided In Administration
In addition, the county received $105,827 reimbursement for administration, $77,519 from the state and $28,308 from the federal government. Added to all this, the county had 7396 relief clients, at a total expense of $141,587, or an average grant to each recipient of $19.14. All in all, the county’s operation in itself is a ‘multimillion dollar business. The current county board, as ap-

Under constant pressure to replace Mr. Neal, the state recently conducted an examination to qualify individuals for the post director.

Action May Be Speeded
It has been reported from various Republican sources recently that steps were being considered to amend the law for Marion county to place the board-appointive power in the hands of ‘the juvenile court, rather than ihe circuii court. However, all this may be speeded up if the social security board goes through with its threat to penalize the state for the Marion . county failure to abide by the existing!

“AN OBSERVER back in the '60’s stationed in the Kahkakee marsh ‘region tried to tell by birds,” said Mr. Armington. “In some of his mid-winter reports he noted that the ducks were flying northwest. Looked like spring coming. A few days later he entered the report, ‘Ducks flying south.’ “We will just have to wait and see. The first part of December, 1917, was colder than the second. Maybe it will work that way this year.” . Below is a chart comparing November and December periods ‘for 1942, 1941 and the two coldest winters of 1937 and 1917. ’
