OLD AGE PAYMENTS
MAY BE INCREASED
Especial To The Post)

Raleigh; Oct. 20.-Following re-
cent meeting in Raleigh of the State
Board of Allottments and Appeals,
Mrs. w. T. Bost, Commissioner of
the State Board of Charities and
Public Welfare, announced that min
mum social security grants of SIS
per month, minimum county aver
ages of 81 to So, and a minimum
state average of 1920 month
for old age assistance had been
recommended.
The state average during July
was 1894 and 1884 during August.
The Al1bttments and Appeals
Board consists of Colonel w. A.
Blair, of Winston-Salem, chairman;
Mrs. Bost and Nathan H. Yelverton,
director of the Division of Public
Assistance.
Mrs. Bost said that with the be-
ginning of the second quarter on
October l, applications for less than
SIS monthly would be subject to re-
view and revision. Persons not
qualified to receive SIS month
should be excluded from public as
sistance and placed on county re-
lief rolls, she said.

CHAPTER XII

It was impossible for him to sit
waiting for her weeping to stop,
while her slim body shook convuls-
lively with her effort to suppress it,
and her breath jerked uncontrol-
ably in her throat. Her tumbled
hair made her seem child; he had
never seen her look so small, so
fragilely made. And he thought
he had never in his life seen any
thing so pitifully in need of COM
forting.
He swore under his breath and
got to his feet.
For a few moments he stood over
her, watching the movement of the
freight in her hair. He could
hardly prevent himself from touch
ing her; almost he stopped and
picked her up in his arms. But he
was telling himself that that was
the last thing she wanted.
He walked out a little into the
dark, and stood listening to the
11C was SILL WO11 y
ing about the distant muffled sound
Of conclusion which he had heard.
It seemed to him now that what he
had heard was unquestionably the
sound of perhaps gun fired
near the forgotten miners shanty
at the upper end of the gulch; but
who could have fired it. He had
assumed that it was Lon Magoon
who had killed Marian's pony; but
now he saw that something was
wrong. If Magoon had fired upon
Marian Dunn and killed her horse
he would not have gone to the cab
in at the head of the gulch, but
would have put long country be-
tween himself and them. There
fore two men, not one, must be
prowling these hills. He thought
of Coffee's theory that there had
been third man. at Short Crick-
and was worse puzzled than be-
fore.

When Daphne Brett took hei
younger sister, Jennifer, under
hand in an effort to launch he,
on Il successful career in New
York, difficulties Immediately
arose between the two. Jennie,
resented any such interest and
promptly defied Daphne.
She was ready to elope with
Tucker Ainsley, wealthy playboy,
and would have cloped had not
Daphne stepped in in time to pre-
vent the wedding. Next, Jennifer
had made play for the affec-
tions of, Larry Smith, attractive
yourg architect, with whom Daph-
re is in love.
Weeks dragged on in which the
sisters became increasingly cs-
tranged. Then Daphne sent Jcn-
infer to shore resort for vaea-
ton and Jennifer met Gordon
Herzberg, famous theater produc-
err. Immediately she found n new
interest in this Seld and seemed
to lose her old bitterness.
At the same time Daphne, who
has been asked by Larry to be-
come his wife, is sent on a two
months sales trip across the con-
tiren.. Happy, because she knows
this will give her enough money
to see Jennifer safely started, she
calls Larry.

"Then / guess it's goodby."
Without another word to her he
went out the door.
Daphne didn't cry. She went
into her bedroom and began
emptying the drawers of her
dresser. She piled her lingerie in
neat little bundles. She washed
her collars and cuffs and packed
the things she thought she'd need
on her trip. She Strengthened out
her check book and polished the
set of silver bowls. And all the
time she was SAYING, all lovers
have quarels, Larry will tele-
phone me tonight and we'll both
break down and he will under
stand and it will be all right.
But Larry didn't call that night.
Or the next day. Or anv Of the

And something else inside her
said, he should understand you,
his love should be big enough to

know you are not selfish.
"Well, ! guess | should have

to tell me for the last three

She stood there calmly enough
while her heart rocked.

LEADER GREETS
0'(0NNELL

Feeling his way about carefully
in the House of Representatives, as
behooves a new member of Con-
gress, Jerry ]. O'Connell, Montana's
representative from the First Dis
trict, has created a very favorable
impression for himself and is held
in high esteem by his colleagues
there.
He is shown above with Majority
Floor Leader, Sam Rayburn, on the
day he introduced his first bill in
the House-H. R. 3908-which would
create a little IVA at the Fort Peck
Dam. In the bill, Mr.. O'Connell
seeks to create a Fort Peck Power
Authority, patterned after the Ten
nessee Valley Authority Project,
which would sell power at very
cheap rates to the people in eastern,
central and western Montana and
especially make use of the govern
ment line nov built from Rainbow
Dam at Great Falls to Fort Peck.
Other bills which Mr.. O'Connell
intends to introduce shortly, and
which he discussed at the same time
with Majority Leader Rayburn, are
a similar bill for a little IVA at the
Poison Dam in western Montana, and
Montana labor news., 1937-02-11

at the Hungry Horse Power Site in
Flathead County. He also intends to
introduce an Occupational Disease
Law which would show special at
tention to Silicosis, a disease much
suffered by Montana miners. He
will also join in the introduction of
the new Townsend Plan Bill.
Mr.. O'Connell, who is the baby
member of Congress, was given an
appointment on a major committee,
the strong and powerful Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee
This is an appointment which seldom
comes to a new member of Con-
gress. He is allied with the Progress
sive Bloc in the House of Represent
atives and is a prominent member
of Rocky Mountain group which in
tends to foster special legislation
beneficial to Montana and other
mountain states.
Because there Ire several mem
bers of the House with similar names
with O'Connor of Montana, O'Con-
nor of New York, O'Connell OF
Rhode Island and O'Connell Of
Montana, the Representative from
the First District of Montana is af-
fectionately hailed by members,
House attaches and pages, alike, as

POVERTY OR PROPERTY
TAX"

The word is being bruited about
that certain designing, sinister and
avaricious capitalists as well as petty
ones are lobbying for a sales tax.
They are doing this in the hope of
having their property taxes reduced
and because they want to forestall
any possibility of an increase, which
increase seems inevitable to some
because of the present unemployed
problem. In order to avert the con-
sequence of this problem these big
or selfish companies want a sales
tax enacted into law so they may
escape with full pockets for them
selves after further rape of the
people.
Inhabitants of other states where
a sales tax was foisted on them find
themselves paying taxes which
should, in these hungry days, be paid
by those who, because of their

HIGHL|GHT5 OF THE
legislature

House Bill u, the law providing
that the workers in the mines should
be underground just 8 hours and no
more-that eight hours from the
time they left the mine collar going
in, they must be at the collar coming
out, was defeated in the House Tues
day by the Hopper Kollared con-
tingency. The miners of Butte were
betrayed by the very men whom
they elected-but these judases who
sold the workers of Butte for thirty
pieces of silver, have ended their
political careers, and the 80 pieces
they got for their kisses, is all that
they will get-like the used harlot,
they will now be kicked out of the
back door into the alley, as the com
mon destiny of harlots, political or
otherwise. Nobody ever beat this
destiny and these girls will not.
Floor Leader Sam Speigel, and
Mike Mulholland made a splendid
fight for their fellow workers in
Butte and deserve their lasting ap-
probation. The Butte workers should
never forget their friends nor those
who sold them down the river. (.
Many of the rural representatives
voted Loyalty for this piece of legis-
lation and r to be congratulated
by both labor, and all forward look
ing people in the state. Many with
the best intentions, but not under
standing, voted against this very
meritorious legislation, but the Butte
delegation voted against it fully con-
scious of what they were doing; also
some members from Cascade County
and other industrial centers.
Speigel read the messages from the
Butte Trades and Labor Assembly,
putting the traitors into their real
places and under their real colors
last night. More strength to you,
