Cannery May
Be Developed
By VERA Aid
Plan Would Provide Profit
able Employment for
Needy

Prospects of developing cannery
here, under the self-help cooperative
program of the VERA, was discussed
Tuesday night by a group of farmers,
relief recipients and other interested
parties at meeting held at the Han
ford high school.
Plans toward this end had already
been initiated by group interested in
conserving surplus vegetables and fruits
to care for their winter needs.
Following a visit here last Friday by
w. E. Dillon, fifth district admins
TRAITOR Of the VERA, and Miss Rose
Seller district supervisor of social SER
vice, plans to use small pressure cooker
and sealer units were delayed in order
to consider the feasibility of starting
a larger plant.
Under the self-help cooperative
movement of the relief administration,
it is possible for a group of from ten
to twenty to form cooperative to
supply their own needs for certain pro-
duce. The object of the plan is to place
relief recipients on self-sustaining
basis In other districts, co-operatives
have been formed for the manufactur-
ing of shoes and the cutting of wood.
While all members Of the group need
not be on relief roles, the aim of the
administration is to remove as many as
possible from direct relief
There are two courses open to any
group desiring to start such co-opera-
tive Under the first, a loan up to $4,000
may be secured from the government,
while under the second an outright
grant UP, to $1700 may be secured.
If loan is secured the group is per-
mitted to place it's surplus products on
the open market, engaging in profitable
employment, while under the outright
grant plan the products can only be
used by the members of the group
itself, sold to the government for re-
lief purposes, or traded to other CO.
operative groups for other products.
A committee composed of r. S
Robertson, H. j. Coleman and j. w
Fenley was appointed by the chairman
of the meeting, E. r. Griner, to in
vestigate the local possibilities of such
a movement and to confer with VERA
officials to determine its feasibility
Their findings will be reported at 8
meeting Of all relief recipients to BIT
held at Legion hall in White Bluffs
Friday evening, June 81.

OLD AGE PENSION BILL RESTS WITH
 THE GOVERNOR
Bill Is Finally Passed By Senate-Awaits Sigma
 ture of His ExcellenCy

Hartford, Conn, April 24-(UP) The old age pension bill, swept to victory in oneof the most be- wildering moves of the legislatures history, rested on the governors desk today for his signature.
 A coalition of senate democrats and socialists lifted the measure from a maze of amendments, re- considered eight moves to alter the draft approved by the house, and secured unanimous approval after hours of debate and party caucus ing.
 The bill, safely out of the trou- b1e zone and expected to be signed quickly by the chief executive, was the continuation of 20 years of re- lentless driving to write social security pact into the statute books.
 Four Amendments Lost
 Four amendments had been tackled on in the senate yesterday. the tax exemption clause. Repub- licans strenuously opposed them. declaring any attempt to force the bill back to the house for further consideration would upset the en- tire program.
 Two recesses were called to line up united support. The three so- cialists, who themselves offered amendments, suddenly appeared aligned with democrats. Previous votes were reconsidered and the amendments defeated and the bill adopted with such speed that the session was over before some of the senators could fully realize the bill had been passed.
 Provisions of Bill
 As approved by both houses the bill provides $7 week to all eligi- compels all persons between 21 and 65 years to pay head tax of $3.
 Applications will be received starting in october, this year, and from an estimated initial fund of $2,1O0,000 to be raised through the tax, payments will commence April IS, 1886.
 The $2 poll tax is repealed.
 All applicants must be citizens of the United States and residents of Connecticut for at least five years.
 The tax will be levied January 6, 1886, and collectable on or be- fore the following April l.
 Administration of the fund will be by the state agencies depart ment.
 Aliens will become eligible only if congress passes a national sc- curity act.
 Must Cedes Property
 Beneficiaries must cede all prop. erty to the state which, after their deaths, will deduct the amounts allotted the petitionesr and return the residue to the estate for dis tribution to heirs.
 Towns are responsible for col lection of the tax and will pay on the basis of a comparison of the towns population with that of the state.
 Tax delinquents will be fined and imprisoned.
 The greatest senate fight was over a proposal to lower the tax exemption age from 65 to 60 years.
