Meadville Area Solon Moves To Legalize Bingo In State
State House introduces a bill by Rep. H. H. Haskell of Meadville to legalize bingo under strict supervision for non profit groups. He argues current law is uneven and hundreds of games operate with local officials’ knowledge while Crawford Countians travel to Erie and Venango counties. The measure seeks to make the law uniform and fair and end the current bingo prohibitions.

Social Security Welfare bill eyed for changes and aid boosts
Washington reports Ways and Means Committee debate on adding a 5 percent Social Security increase next year and a possible second rise. Proposals would widen federal welfare support, with a federal floor of 2400 dollars a year for a family of four, requiring work training if states keep higher benefits. Critics warn benefits may drop in fiscally stretched states. An autopsy is ordered for Darryl Scott, 18, of New Castle, potentially due to a drug overdose after being found slumped in a car.
