Pension Association Plans County wide effort
The Old Age Pension Association of Comanche County met at the courthouse to organize a county wide campaign for improved pensions for the elderly dependent children and the blind. A three member initial committee proved too small and each community will appoint a representative to join an expanded executive committee. The group will meet April 18 an hour before the regular session in the district courtroom to list eligible cases and ensure county wide representation.
