The House refused to concur in the Senate amendments. The decision of the Senate democrats to withold final action on the redistribution Bill came yesterday when House members of a conference committee on the measure refused to meet with Senate members of the committee.

County welfare director explaining the difference Between old Agu assistance and old age benefits. Old age assistance paid by the county welfare department with the Fini Uncial help of the state and Federal governments provides Cash allowances to Indiana citizens Over the afro of 63 who Are in Nee i and no to a a a k possible for those who cannot sup amp. Port themselves to go on Uva in in i in the. To Are haute Camp for their own Homes the director explained. Quot in All cases the amount of old age assistance is based upon the actual needs of a he aged person with the maximum limit set sit $30 b y both state and Federal Laws Quot the director said. Old age benefits or old age insurance under the social Security Law provides Cash benefits for wage earners after they reach the age of 65, he a Gar less of their needs. These benefits will be paid directly by the Federal government. A monthly Premium is paid into the fund by the wage earner and his employer. Old age Benefit payments will not begin until 1942. Quot old age assistance under the Public welfare promm is a plan worked then too. There is u discrepancy Between the figures turned in by the assessors working in Putnam county and those of the census reports. For the year 1935, for instance the Federal census report stated there were on the first a Lay of that year a total of 20.262 cattle on Putnam farms the assessors be parts for March 1. 1935, show a total of 15,032 of a fall cattle a taking the census figures As Correct. There was an increase of tors than 7.000 in the number of cattle in Putnam county in 1935 than there were in the number reported by the farm census of 1930. In the latter year there were reported by the o. Nous takers a total of 13.446 cattle in Putnam. Of the total number of cattle in 1930. 7.663 were cows. Five years later there were reported 10,8.38 cows. One Well informed Man gave it As his opinion that the number of head of beef cattle in the county has declined somewhat since the last official figures were published. This he said waa a due to the lower prices now paid for beef Stock. There is no census report at hand later than that of 1935, but the 1936 report of the assessors who listed the Putnam cattle or taxation a gives the total of a Quot All cattle in Putnam As 15,859, an increase of More than 800 Over their corresponding figures for 1p35. The assessors figures for 1937, on the same a fall cattle item gives the number As 14.701. A decline of close to a thousand from the preceding year. Contrasted with the decline in cattle numbers is the increase of about one thousand head in the number of a fall hogs a As returned by the assessors poultry. 0 incidentally showed an increase. Old r citizens of the county recall the heavy shipments of beef cattle made by a number of Putnam county producers the Lockridge for instances each year Selling Many car loads particularly of Fine shorthorn cattle an it.
