STATE WIDENS
| MERIT SYSTEM
Indiana to Be First in
Country-PrObation- .
airy Period Set

Indianapolis, Ind, (UP)-Within
a month Indiana will become the
first state in the nation to establish
merit system for selecting ana
maintaining the personnel Of its So
cial security divisions.
The system may became q model
for other states participating In the
nations social security program.
Boards administering the public
welfare and unemployment COM
pensation acts passed by a special
session of the Indiana legislature
this year have approved the merit
system. The merit system provides
that persons applying for employ
ment will be required to take ex-
aminations before being placed on
the list of those eligible for APP
pointment.
Years Residence Required
Applicants must be citizens OF
the United States and must be
residents OF the state for at least
one year, except in special cases.
A Joint committee, comprised Of
the personnel directors of the pub
lie welfare and unemployment COM
pensation divisions, and another
member to be appointed by direc-
tors Of both divisions, will conduct
the examinations. When a new
employee is needed for q position
within the divisions, the personnel
supervisor will submit to the APP
pointing officer the names Of those
with highest examination ratings.
Persons now employed In the two
divisions will be required to take
examinations to determine whether
they are qualified to retain their
positions.
Probationary Period Set
New employees will be hired for
a probationary period OF six months,
during which they may be dis
missed without the right to a hear
ing. After the six-month period has
passed. however, any employe fac
ing dismissal may demand q closed
or public hearing before the board
governing his department.
The personnel supervisor will
keep merit ratings on the work done
by all employees, which may be used
to. determine salary increases, dis
missals or demotions, and may be
o factor In promotion tests.
Employees, under the system, are
prohibited from participating IN
political activity other than TO "ex-
press freely their views as citizens
and TO cast their votes"

Social Security Act
Assists Connecticut
State Citizens Now Eligible for Seven Of Ten Separate
Benefits and Public Services

labor, and smaller but substantial
sums have come to the state from
the federal departments administer
Ing other provisions Of the act.
10000 Already Helped
The old-age and blind assistance
allowances made to the state by the
social security board, matched by
equal or greater funds provided by
the state itself, have already made
possible aid TO more than 10000
persons In the state.
Connecticut has been qualified to
receive federal aid for assistance
to the needy blind since February,
the first month for which federal
funds became available to states UNI
der the Social Security Act. Thus
far, the U. s. treasury, ct the re-
quest Of the social security board,
has sent Connecticut $3.50 for this
form Of assistance. In the case Of
old-age assistance, Connecticut has
been receiving federal funds since
April; total Of $546,353 having
thus far been sent to the state.
These allotments have enabled Con-
necticut to render assistance to
more than 10,100 needy men and
women over IS years Of age and to
239 blind persons.
1t was pointed out at the social
security board that what the So
cial Security Act means to the in
dividual in Connecticut is illustrate
ed by a comparison Of old-age as
sistance before the Social Security
act was passed by congress with old
age assistance as rendered today
under the cooperative federal-state
system set up by the Social Secur-
ity Act. Connecticut had no law for
the payment Of regular allowances
to the needy aged until 1895, and
during that year the law remained
imperative, so that the only re-
course for the needy aged man or
woman was the relief roll or q
charitable institution. Today the
needy aged may receive regular
maintenance in their own homes,
and state officials estimate that TO-
900 persons will be eligible for such
assistance during the period July /
to September 80 at an average
monthly rate of $3.50 per person.
Other Benefits Listed
The benefits derived from other
provisions of the act in which Con-
necticut participates have also been
substantial.
This more adequate aid to those
in distress in Connecticut is made
possible by the fact that, under
the Social Security Act, the fed
eral government not only pays q
large proportion Of the cost Of adj
ministering old-age and blind as
sistance in those states whose plans
conform to the Social Security Act,
but also gives such states allow
ances in advance for each quarter
year to cover one-half their expect
ed expenditures for these forms Of
assistance.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-11

Washington, d. Connecticut
citizens are now eligible for seven
of the ten separate benefits and
public services created by the Social
Security Act, It is announced by
John q. Winant, chairman Of the
social security board. These benefits
and services are:
assistance to the needy aged;
aid to the needy blind;
maternal and child-health
services;
child-welfare services;
vocational rehabilitation;
public-health services;
federal old-age benefits Ito
begin in 1880.
The state is not participating In:
unemployment compensation;
K aid to dependent children in
their own homes;
services for crippled children.
That the benefits already received
have been very substantial is shown
by a summary of them made public
by the board in connection with the
first anniversary of the Social Sc
curity Act, which became a law last
August This summary indicates
that almost $4,000 in allowances
for public assistance to the needy
aged and to the needy blind has
already come to Connecticut from
the social security board. In addi-
ton, Connecticut has received $29,-
$50 in federal aid for maternal and

fare services from the children's bu-

Electoral Votes Count
in Electing President

A President may he elected by a
minority, or less than half of the
total number of popular votes cast.
This is possible, explains a writer
in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, be-
cause the President and vice Pres
ident are not elected directly by
popular vote, but by electors who
are chosen by popular vote. A can
didate for President receives all or
none of the electoral votes cast by
state, except in rare instances
when the electoral vote of a state
IS split. Hence, it is possible for
minority of the voters of the coun-
try as a whole to elect majority
of the presidential electors.
In the election of 1924 none of the
four candidates for President re-
ceived a majority of either the cleo
tcral or the popular votes, and John

SYNOPSIS

Bryn (James Brynildson lid, a
tall bronzed young man of wealth,
and his chum, Tubby Forbes, are
discussing Bryn's coming marriage.
Tubby believes it a scheme to get
Bryn's wealth from him. Should the
girl, Deborah, whom Bryn had met
at the office of his attorney, Ted Hol-
worthy, marry Stuart Graham before
her twenty first birthday, she will
inherit a vast fortune from her
grandfather. Stuart had greatly dis
pleased Deborah, who refuses to
marry him. Bryn, posing as an un-
employed engineer, offers to marry
Deborah, as Stuart, for $4,000, they
not to live as man and wife. Twen-
ty-three years previous, Anne Lar
ned had eloped with an adventurer
on the day set for her wedding to
Courtney Granam. Two days after
the birth Of her daughter, Anne died.
Shortly after, the father died. The
Larneds, grandparents, took the child
with them to Oregon where, without
child companions, Deborah grew up.
To safeguard her from some for
tune hunter, her grandfather had
arranged for her to marry Stuart,
son of Courtney Graham, when of
age.
