PAGE SIX JOHN THOMAS, JR. IS SPEAKER AT GRANGE Hastings.—Continuation of the pres- ent millage rate in Cambria county will liquidate the bonded indebtedness | within 13 years, John Thomas, r, the president of the board of county com- missioners, told members of Cambria county Pomona Grange at a recent meeting in the Cross Roads Grange Hall near Hastings. “If the tax millage in Cambria coun- ty should be left at six mills, which it is at present,” Mr, Thomas said, “the commissioners could meet the expen- ses of the county and at the end of the year 1952 the bonded indebtedness would be liquidated.” A resolution was adopted by the Grange indorsing tne Capper Farm Credit Bill which would extend the present credit bill for another three years, reduce the interest on farm mortgages held by the Federal Land Banks to three per cent and make it unnecessary to pay on the principal until 1942. The present farm credit bill expires July 1. Raymond Niebauer ,master of the Cambria County Grange, presided at the buisness session, during which plans were made for the annual pic- nic of the Grange to be held at the Ebensburg Fair Grounds on July 15. Plans also were made for two Nei- ghborhood Night meetings, the first to be held in the Cross Roads hall, on August 8th, and the second to be held in the Pleasant Hill Grange Hall, at Chest Springs on September 12th, The next meeting of the Pomona Grange will be held on Saturday, Oct. 7, in the Buckhorn Grange hall near Wilmore. DO YOU ENOW? It is a fundamental principle that individual enterprise should not be interfered with by the state unless that enterprise is either injurious to others or to the community, or is fail- ing to deliver the goods or services which the community requires. As far as Pennsylvania has been no failure in the delivery of medical service to those seeking it. A A MAN TO . 3 REMEMBER’ WHAT IS A SLEEPER?

Harrisburg.—The 1939 legislature's revised workmen's compensation sys- m has been approved by Governor hur H. James, who signed four bills sponsored by Rev. Henry I. Wilson, Republican, Jefferson. They would: 1—Reduce benefits available for in- juries and accidental deaths to work- men and their dependents, scaling down the 1937 amendments to the or- iginal Workmen's Compensation Act but liberalizing its provisions. 2—Give Pennsylvania workmen a new elective occupational disease com- pensation law, repealing the existing benefit law which has been virtually imperative since its enactment in 1937. 3—Qualify volunteer firemen for the benefits of workmen's compensation. 4—Exclude domestic and agricultu- ral employees from the benefits of workmen's compensation. Revision of the ma: Workmen's necessitated, Wilson contended, because the State Supreme Court invalidated eight sec- tions of the 1937 act and more than chiefly anthracite mine operators—re- jected the act in favor of common law settlement of accident claims. The Wilson Act retains the $18 min- imum weekly compensation for total disability which the previous legisla- ture boosted by $3. The $12 minimum was cut to $9 but an “absolute mini- mum of $5.00 a week” was fixed for injured workmen whose earnings un- der the compensation tormula were less than $9 weekly. An injured workman will be allow- ed benefits based on the average of his earnings during his 13 highest in- come weeks of the year preceding the accident. One .provision will deny compensation to workers injured while violating a safety law. In general the act conforms to the original compensation law of 1915 as amended subsequent to the 1937 revis- ion. It increases the maximum total payment to injured employees, how- ever, from $6,500 to $7,500. The old act had a $7 a week minimum and a $15 a week maximum limit of compensation for total disability—which the new law boosts to $9 and $18 respectfully. While the occupational disease law becomes effective on October 1, the other thre Wilson acts will become ef- fective ten days after their signature, or July 1st. The Department of Labor and Industry will be the indorsement agency for the laws as in the past. Alverda Man Hurt. William Glenn, 86 ,of Alverda, suf- fered an injured hip and bruises on Saturday night when he was struck by a car as he walked on Route 480 in Alverda. He was taken to the In- diana hospital. Driver of the car was John Sass, 16, of Heilwood. Police said he informed them he was blinded by the lights of another car and that his automobile brushed the aged man. Of- ficers said Glenn was under the influ- ence of liquor. STOP AT Finest Foods LIQUORS STREET THE FIRST STOP BEFORE THE FOURTH Gone away over the Fourth?
