PENSION LAW MAYBE CHANGED Steps Being Taken To Make Payments Mandatory—Minimuym $lO Per Month Convinced that the old age pension law is not proving as effective as planned state officials are considering changes which which will make payments mandatory, it was learned at the state house. Under the present law passed at the 1933 general assembly pensions can be paid any person over 70 years of age. The law sets a maximum of $l5 per month pension but makes no provision for a minimuim. With reports that county commissioners in many instances have flatly refused to pay pensions and others are making payments as low as $2 per.month, state officials realize that teeth must be put into the law as early as possible. ' Besides making it mandatory for county commissioners to set tax levies or make other provisions for payment of pensions a minimum pension of a least $lO per month is expected to be written into the law. Liberalization of the present restrictions, making it considerably easier for an aged person to qualify for a pension also is contemplated. State officials are cognizant of the fact that when the law become effective January 1, 1934, few counties were in such financial condition to maksa pension paymenis. Fifty-two counties have made payments ranging from $2 io §l5 during <hie first five n‘onths of this year. Twenty-one have started pavments since June 1 and the remaining 19 have bezn unable to make any pay-

monts. ; Under p'rovision of the new law the county pays the entlre amount and then 'is reimbursed one-half the aricunt by the state. Thz gtate’s hare of the pensionz, estimated to :zount to approximately $1,000,000 nnually, is paid in two installments 'n July 1 and December }]. j Checks totalling $100,767.78 ncw are being mailed to county auditors of the 52 counties which made payments up until May 7, deadline for filing pension reports. The July 1 report of State Auditor Floyd I, Williamson shows that 10,103 persons were placed on pensions during the first five months of the new year.

Has Nearly Million Miles of Wire Two telaphone circuits (four wires to the moon—and enough left over to stretch from Wew York to Los Angeles and back and then on down to Jacksonville, Fla.,, for good measure. :

According to figures recently relcased by the Indiana Eell Telephone company there are over 930,400 miles of wire in Indiana owned and operated by that company . This would be more than enough to make the two round trips to the moon. Almost a million miles of wire! The figure is staggering in iise'f, but more amazing in the fact taat all this wire serves a very definite purpose—all of it is interconnected so that one may pick up his telephone and talk across the street, across the continent or across the ocean.

Warsaw Plans To Hold Falr.

Although the Kosciusko county council refused to make a fair appropriation for 1934 the directors of the Kosciusi®, County Fair association announced that their annual coun ty fair will be held this year from Septemiber 25 to 29 inclusive in Warsaw. - : < : There was no fair held in 1933 for the first time in 19 years because the county council refused to approve a fair appropriation to be disbhursed by the board of eounty commissioners. Stock men, business men and fair officials took the fair problem in their own hands and a fair will be held this year. In 1933 instead of a fair a street carnival was held under the suspices of the American Legion.

- Le®ch Washes Hands of “Tip.” - Capt. Matt Leach of the state police definitely has abandoned his efforts to determine who furnished the tip which enabled federal agents to trap and kill John Dillinger in Chicago. il Al G.
