Illinois test of child aid for aged pensioners plan
The Illinois Public Aid Commission will test six counties and a Chicago district to assess if children can support their elderly parents receiving Old Age Pension grants. In LaSalle, Montgomery, St. Clair, Vermilion, White, Winnebago, and the Cook County Northern district, families must provide income and asset details, with children submitting their own income and asset info. The program enforces the act’s duty on reasonably able children to help, hoping to refine state wide application amid improving economic conditions. In October, grants totaling $793,241 were issued to 25,519 individuals in the seven test areas.

Housewife and Meter Reader Exchange
A housewife tells a meter reader he need not come again as her husband has invented a device to stop the meter. A tramp asks to cut grass for a meal and is told to eat it off the ground.
