When April 1 of next year rolls around, the State of Connecticut will begin sending weekly checks to men and women 65 years of age and older who meet the qualifications of the Old Age Assistance act passed by the 1885 General Assem- bly,. Already the state welfare is busy with the applications, and the assistance set.up will be read to function efficiently by the date set. The money to finance this assist ance plan will come from the citi- zens of the State of Connecticut. The old poll tax of 02 has been done away with, and has been replaced with $3 tax that must be paid by all eligible voters in the state. Stiff penalties are provided for those who fail to pay the 8 tax.
 Applications have been being sub- mitted for assistance under the plan since Oct l, the day when they were first accepted but the state will not begin payment till April.
 Questions and answers given yes- terday covered applications, investi- gations of applicants, and eligibility of appliants.
 The questions and answers, sup- piled by the state welfare commits sion, continue:

 His higllly-tra;-sd proteges watt ad for plays to develop so that they might break them up and take charge. But. the Mexicans, smaller and unorthodox, simply ran them ragged and gave the big Wichitans a scare before they won.

As much as Mort Lindsey would like to accept the Bowling Pro- prietor Associations bid to make tour of the country he does not feel he can afford to leave his own recreation rooms in Stamford, Conn
 Instead of basking in the bowl ingl limelight, with other exhibition stars, the man who tops the en- tire American Bowling Congress in averages for span of 25 years. is content to remain at home where he is surrounded with pie lures of the countless bowling greats Memories of the past and present, they are his companions.
 The pictures include such bowl ing immortals as Nick Bruck, Jess Pritchett, Joe Fliger, Glenn Rid dell, Jimmy Smith, Jimmy Blouin, Billy Sixty, Mont Luby, Uncle Jo3 Thum, Count" Gengler, Bar ney Spinelli and Leo Luecker. LinGsey lives and talks bowling
 and everyone in Stamford knows the bowling champion.
 Two secs" Week He has rolled l5 perfect scores in his career and apparently is a5 g3ol today as he was 20 years ago. Clly recently he scored two 300 eames within . week-one in New York an1 the other in Buffalo. Just glance over a few of the highlights of his long bowling ca rcer:

 A tended 20 consecutive national championship meetings, until the illness of his wife in 1928 forced him to cancel the trip to Kansas City.
 Won A. B. c. five-man cham pionship with Brunswick All-Stars in 1912.
 His match against Billy Knox, q. Philadelphia. He topped Knox by CAT pins in the first half of tie match only to allow the Phil rade.ph!an to even the score in the fifth game. Knox drew a 4-5 split in the ninth frame while Lindsey struck out to win in the tenth fame by a margin of few pins. In a match with Jimmy Smith

 He topped Joe Falcaro's 278 by single pin in a match bowled on the White Elephant Alleys in New York City.
 Won first prize, $1,000 in the Petersen classic last year at De- troit Rolled an all-event total of 1909 at Columbus two years ago and came right back with 1888 at Peoria.
 That ought to be enough to convince anyone that Mort Lindsey is a top flight bowler if ever any one was.
 He rates Jimmy Smith, Count" Gengler and Jimmy Blouin the three greatest bowlers. In my op- inion no list Of bowling greats" is complete without L.ndsey's name.
