HOMES FOR AGED
PLANS IN MAKING
Bill Ready For Introdue,
ton In Legislature
NEXT MOVE LISTED
Hoped To Provide Means That
Will Result In Old
. Folks Care.

One of the measures prepared for
early introduction in the coming ses-
sion of the legislature is the Sunset
Homes bill. This bin has been drawn
by the Minnesota commission for
the aged after an exhaustive survey
of the facilities within the state for
the taking care OF men and women
entering the sunset o. life" 1t pro
vides sensible means OF affo-dins
homes to the aged in their declining
years. Atesia
| Investigation by the commission,
which was appointed by Governor ].
A. A. Burnquisk disclosed that there
are in Minnesota more than 100000
persons over sixty five years old, of
iwhom not more than one to twenty
have means upon which to live indie
pendently. ~ e.
No Compulsory Conditions.
The bill carries no compulsory
conditions and is in reality an enabl
ing act. The commission found that
homes for the aged in Minnesota are
inadequate to care for the numbers
applying for admittance. Members
of the commission also took under
consideration the reluctance which
old persons feel upon entering such
homes.
"It seems reasonable to assume"
the findingsAof the commission read,
that the practical solution of the
problem of caring for the aged must
provide sensible means by which
they may feel that they are not ac
cepting charity. AS a state we must
therefore provide for all their needs
in such fashion that they will feel
that they have prepared for their
declining years by their own efforts
This is the premise upon which this
bill is based"
Provisions of Bill. -
The bill provides that: r.ra
Counties may unite to build
Sunset Homes, the county and
state each pay one half of the
cost of maintenance.
The homes willtbe under the
control of a commission COM
posed of the chairman of the
county board, the county attor-
ney, the probate judge and four
others, two of whom must be
women.
All persons more than seventy
years to be admitted, and those
more than IS years, if unable to
maintain themselves, if residents
of the state for five years and if
they have made their required
payments of $3.50. 80
Husbands and wives are to be
admitted together.
Tax for construction not to ex-
coed one mill on the dollar, ex-

Acting at the request of the Com
mission for the Aged, the Minnesota

Minnesota a knowledge of this bill
and the conditions that prompted it

The Winona was In the inner har-

Thousands from the interior besieged

the interior. whose villages and towns

merchant vessels were ordered out of
the inner harbor on the evening of Sep
tember 8 by the allied naval officers
War craft then went in and tied up
along the waterfront.
Hear Women's Screams.
The combined narrative OF the skipper
and the purser was that the Turkish
army entered the city at 10 o'clock the
next morning "At first sight of the
Turks all the Greek soldiers on the
streets tore off their uniform coats and
caps, threw them away and fed" the
officers related. "As the Turkish ad-
vance guards entered the town some

The following morning. September 1S,
the vessel was permitted by the Turks
TO proceed into the harbor, IL being
thought that she would be able TO work
cargo. All business houses were closed
and Turkish civilians were going around
looting the Greek and, Armenian shops.
No other ship was allowed to enter the
harbor. the American Consul and the
ships agents having obtained permission
from the Turk authorities TO allow her to
enter. This ship was the last to go into
the harbor under the Greek regime ana
the first to enter under the Turk.

Greek and Armenian quarters were also

that as soon as they left the building the

The skipper said that no more refu-
gees were brought aboard that night,
but they nearly swamped the freighter
the next morning. The refugees saw
that the American destroyer was the
only ship that was protecting them
They flocked astern of it. American
sailors were placed around them as
