happiness and pride.

elderly people decent pension

to get what the law allows them.
Those who are totally blind must
have a fight every time the leg

to receive a pension, in the eyes
of the big shots" and too old
TO obtain a job. These elderly
people. some of whom are Grip

relief, and receive the munificent
sum of six dollars per MONTH
Why wait until people are SIS
years old, the age when most
people die, to give them enough
TO live decently on for their few
remaining days?
A perusal of the obituary COL

show that many people. of from

dying every day, mostly of heart
