Nor did A. T. Hester have any

peeved because another member of the
foursome got a birdie 4. He canned
a 6-foot putt for the eagle 3, which
enabled him and DR.. c. E. Buck and
Dave Thomson to play three-hole

Bus Routes Being
Mapped Out for
School Season
Number of Schools Asking for
New and Extended Routes;
Drivers to Be Selected

A representative of the State
School Commission is in the county
this week going over the bus routes
that will be used during the coming
school season. Before bus line can
be established, it is understood that
it must be approved by the State
School Commission.
Mr.. Hash, county superintendent
of schools, is asking that principals
select and appoint bus drivers.
These drivers will then be approx
ed by the district committee and
the board of education. Drivers
must be sixteen years of age and
hold a drivers permit.
Those in charge of laying out the
bus routes are anxious to know who
the drivers are as the knowledge
will be an aid to arranging
schedules.
A number of schools want their
present routes extended and sever
al want new routes laid out. This,
says Mr.. Hash, will depend on the
cooperation given by the highway
officials and whether new buses
can be secured. Many of the bus
routes are in bad condition and
many of those proposed are in bad
condition also.

County Official
Explains Old Age
Aid Is Not Ready
Miss Tugman Says That Old Age
Assistance, Children Aid
Not Yet Available

Miss Ruth Tugman, appointed by
the commissioners on the last first
Monday to serve as the county well
fare officer, states that all those ex-
pecting old age assistance or Deepen
dent children aid should know that
no blanks will be availble for appli-
cation for aid until after July l, and
even then that there will be time
to take care of everybody without
any rush since the help will be CIV
en- out on a basis of real need and
not age.
According to Miss Tugman, only
limited funds are available and
there will be no set amount of mon
ey given each family. The aid will
be given after thorough investiga-
tions and only where the need is ac-
tual, The case worker will recon-
mend the budget but it will have to
be approved by the county commits
sioners and the county welfare
board.
Miss Tugman makes this an
nouncement because of the fact that
her office is being swamped with
those who consider themselves eli
gible and are ready now to begin
benefitting by the social security
security laws. Not, however, before
July l will any work begin on Civ
ing assistance and then she is anx-
ious for the public to remember
that each case will be Investigated
and funds awarded on a basis of
need.

Ninth District Congressman Is
Slated to Head Investigation
of Tax DOdging Claims

Congressional leaders emerged
from a White House conference
Tuesday night with word that they
favor full publicity for wealthy

Investigators to be evaders or
avoiders.
"Why not let the country know?"

He added the committee will hear
testimony from the persons named,
if they wish to appear, but that
'there probably will be some who
will not want to appear"
The senator, who is chairman OF
the senate finance committee and a
member of the joint investigating
committee, said there will be legis-
lation at this session to plug loop
holes in the tax laws. He explained
the committee had until next Feb
ruary % to make final report but
expects to make partial report be-
fore then.
Offers Assistance
Harrison said the President only
wanted to tell him and Doughtor
that government departments woulc
assist the investigators if needed.
Doughton, the prospective chair
man of the investigating committee
told reporters before going to tn
White House:
eve are going to be just as care
full to protect the honest taxpayers
and not embarrass them or put then
under cloud, as we are to 60 afte
the dishonest ones.
eve are going to get all the fact
so as to deal promptly and effective
ly with those who wilfully violat
the tax laws and to stop the gap
by which others legally avoid ta'
payments"
