Qualification OF
Old Age Assistance
Executive Secretary of Stearns
County Welfare Board Ex-
plains Situation

In an attempt to clarity the pos
ition Of the County as regards Old
Age Assistance, and the death Of a
recipient, Frank M. Bemis, Execu-
tive Secretary Of the Stearns
County Welfare Board, newly or
ganized this summer, issued the fol-
lowing statement this week:
Considerable confusion and mis-
understanding apparently exists in
the minds of many recipients and
relatives Of Old Age Assistance, re-
garding payment Of funeral bills
Of deceased, recipients" he said,
$50 we have asked the following
points be. published"
First, it must be borne in mind
that Old Age Assistance Is not a
pension but rather relief measure.
According to Section IA Of the
Old Age Assistance Act passed by
the Special Session of the 1855
Legislature the following is the
procedure: ION the death Of a re-
cipient, the county agency may pay
an amount for reasonable funeral
expenses, not exceeding 500. No
funeral expense shall be paid II the
estate of the deceased is sufficient
to pay such expense, or II the chill
dren, or spouse who were legally
responsible for the support of the
deceased during his life time, are
able to pay for such expenses. In
determining the sufficiency Of such
estate due regard shall be had for
the nature and marketability Of as
sets of the estate. The county agen-
cy may grant funeral expenses
where the sale would cause undue
loss to the estate. Any amount paid
by the county as funeral expenses
shall be a prior claim against the
estate, as provided in Laws 1885,
Chapter u, Section 108, and any
amount recovered shall be paid to
the treasury Of the county which
paid said expenses and be deposit
ed in the county old age assistance
fund, and so per cent thereof shall
be paid to the state agency"
Enlarging upon and by way OF
explanation, Mr. Bemis continued,
it must be understood that the sum
of 500 is to cover the cost Of the
complete burial service, including
minister or priest, opening Of the
grave, cemetery lot, and the cost OF
casket and services Of the funeral
director. In other words, the county
cannot assume any part Of any fun
eral bill which in its entirety runs
over the stipulated 500. Then also
the children or spouse Of the de-
ceased will be expected to pay such
part Of the 500 as they are able.
The rules Of the Stearns County
agency require affidavits from both
the funeral director and the sur
viving spouse or children II any,
that said funeral was not In excess
Of the 500 allowed.
Under the new setup Of the Coun-
ty agency, the Welfare Board is
handling numerous cases In all
kinds Of assistance work. Mr.. Be
mis-, appointed as executive secre-
tary Of the board, Is in charge OF
all communications, and 1t Is ask
ed by board members that COM
munications be addressed to him.

Browns Still
Cousins to
GriMmen

CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 26.-Life
would be a breeze for the Griffs
if they could play the Browns all
season long. They beat the
Mound City boys yesterday in
the ninth inning on a double by
Joe Kuhel, and scored their third
consecutive victory. 1t may be
commended that anyone can beat
the Browns, but that is beside
the point. The Griffs beat them,
and that is what counts at the
moment. The score was Z to 6.
Stanley Harris is looking for
ward to bigger and better things
with the White Sox here today.
The GriffS, you may recall, did
right well against the White Sox
in Washington recently, and are
more than hopeful of big things
today.
The probabilities are that Monte
Weaver will hurl for Washington,
with Vernon Kennedy on the hill
for the Pallid Hose. Kennedy has
not been particularly effective
this year, so it is at least an even
proposition that the Griffs ex-
tend their streak to four straights.
The power of the Griffs was
punched in the waist of the bat
ting order. Cecil Travis snapped
out Of his slump to make three
hits. With that great awakening
stirring the team, Stone, Kuhel
and Myer also made three hits
each and Fred Sington made one.
Myers hits counted for most,
since he drove in four runs.
Jimmy DeShong started for the
Griffs, but after the Browns had
walloped him for nine hits, bat
ting the side around in the sixth,
he was removed to safer territory
and Eddie Link relieved him. Linke
finally guided the Griffs through.
Melo Armada made no hits, but
he made q superb throw

BAUGH TO LEAD
COLLEGE STARS
BY WILFRID SMITH

CHICAGO, Aug. 26 (CTPS).
Sammy Baugh, whose sharp, &C.
curate forward passes are the
greatest advantage the All'Stars
will have in their impending clash
with the Green Bay Packers at
Soldiers Field, today was elected
captain of the team.
Baugh is not a member of the
starting eleven which was chosen
in a nationwide poll of football
fans. But it is certain that Baugh
will see as much action as any
back on the team. His election to
the leadership of the squad was a
sincere tribute to this quiet South
erner who has impressed his team
mates, as well as the coaches, with
his all around ability on the grid.
Ed Widseth, Minnesota tackle;
Steve Reid, captain Of last years
Northwestern eleven; Wilkinson
and Svendsen also of Minnesota
and Davis of Southern California,
were others who received votes for
the All-Star captaincy.
DRILL FOR TWO HOURS
For two hours yesterday morn
ing the squad went through an
offensive scrimmage which was
the best of the practice period
and indicated the improvement of
the team. It was easily superior to
the drill last Sunday. Tomorrow
Head Coach Gus DoraiS plans a
forward pass scrimmage and later
in the week, possibly Saturday or
Sunday, the players will go
through their final contact work.
Bob Wilke, Notre Dame half.
back, moved up to the first team
today. And the way he sifted
through the defense on several
long runs was evidence that he
will have a chance to perform
against the Packers. Other mem
bers of the first team backfield
were Vernon Huffman, quarter
back; Sam Francis, fullback, and
John Drake, right halfback.
Baugh was substituted for
| Wllke later on ana Wnen 0aHl
came into the game, the All-Stars
Immediately opened with their
air attack.
FINE PASSES
Time and again he shot the ball
to Huffman or to Drake, and In
comparison with his customarily
hard short losses, his work today
was confined to long distance
passes. Baugh connected on more
than so per cent of all passes.
No attempt was made to keer
score of the Scrimmage, but Huff
man was away twice for touch
down runs and Drake went the
length of the field on another
occasion. This was in addition tc
runs by Wilke. The second team
backfield was James Cain, quarter
back: Ed Goddard, left half;
Lloyd Cardwell, right half and &c
Janowski, full back.
