Kiwanians Hear Explanation Of Townsend Plan
Joseph J. Swatek of Cleveland outlines the Townsend Plan to Elyria Kiwanis members as a tax funded monthly payment of 200 for those over 60, funded by a tax on profits from all sellers. The plan aims to liquidate depression, with 1 million petitions to Congress and talks of a nationwide payout beginning to stimulate spending. contemporaneous notes show local Kiwanis organizers and club officers discussed upcoming installations. Separately an Ohio CCC camp on Churn Creek near Portsmouth burned, with estimated losses of 16000, due to an overheated stove.
