With non.Boron gasoline,
power is lost due to rough
deposits and channels
burned in valve face.

One big reason your car loses power is
deposit build-up on valves. In time, these
deposits keep valves from seating prop
erly. Gases of combustion leak out and
some of your power is wasted. Then,
these gases start to burn deep channels in
heyalves letting even more power escape!
Boron-a great new motor fuel discovery
changes all that! The valves above,
taken from test engines, driven the same
number of miles in identical cars, show
the difference Boron makes With Boron,

Appropriation Bundle May
Disrupt Medical Aid To Aged.
Funds Lacking At
Local, State Level

Information has been received
by county officials that medical
and hospital care for the aid for
aged recipients may not be provid-
ed from state funds after July /,
1856, according to a report from
the Madison County Commission
ers The cutting off of this service
is reported to be due to the fact
that no such funds were appropri-
ated by the 101st General Assem-
bly, The commissioners said that
the county had provided no such
funds, either.
George Taylor, as president OF
the County Commissioners ASsoci-
alton of Ohio, has written to the
director of the Department of Pub
lie Welfare, saying in part: while
making appropriations at the be-
ginning of this year for the vari-
Gus functions of the county gov
ernment, county commissioners
acted with the assumption that
these services for AFA would be
provided from state funds after
July 1, 1856, and that supplement
tation for this purpose would no
longer be a responsibility of the
counties.
After talking with county offfi-
cials, I find there is no money a.
vailable at the local level. This
means that counties cannot supple
ment medical and hospital care for
AFA recipients after July I, 1856.
There appears to be no other all
tentative than for funds to be pro-
vided for this care from the state
level It was understood by county
commissioners that the 101st Cen
eral Assembly had acted to relieve
counties of supplementing the AFA
program and that they had pro-
vided for this act in their appropri-
alton.
IF funds are not available from
the state level, AFA recipients may
suffer because of a misunderstand-
ing between local and state Off
cialS."
Mr. Taylor also requested that
the director advise him of his in
tended action in the matter.
Health care for AFA recipients
in Ohio cost $3.50, ,40120 during the
month of March, when 6,884 citi-
Zens received some kind of treat
ment. In Madison County. an ex-
penditure of S909.59 was made dur
ing March when SIS people received
health care. These figures are
from the report of the Division of
Aid for Aged just issued.
Taylor points out that by law,
county commissioners may only
appropriate up TO three percent of
the money available to them for
emergencies, which means that the
county Golfers have only this sum
to deal with any and all emergenc-
les which may arise. Many de-
mandS have been made on this
three percent margin already this
year, therefore, funds are not a.
Vailable in the amounts needed.
BIRTH ANNOUNCED

former Judith Bricker,). announce
