Old Age Pensions
Twenty-eight states. Alaska and
Hawaii now have old age pension
laws.
Os all recent social legislation, Old
Age Pensions has made the greatest
strides. Only thirteen years have
passed since the Fraternal Order of
Eagles began to call the nation’s at
tention to the inhumanity and waste
fulness of the poorhouse. Yet in
that short time more than one-half ot
the states have enacted Old Age
Pension laws. In November 1933,
Ohio passed an old age pension law
by popular vote at the polls, The
measure carried by a majority of near
ly three to 1. the largest majority
Ours Is a Service For The Living, Also
When the necessary professional duties have been performed
our service to the deceased has ended, but to the living our service
has just begun. It is for them that we must think and act; it is
for their comfort and peace of mind that we must plan.
The arranging of every funeral so that the living may experi
ence the greatest comfort and solace is our constant endeavor.

the state.
In practically every state that does
not yet have an old age pension law,
a bill has been passed by either the
House or the Senate, or has received
serious consideration in committee.
In the United States House of Rep
resentatives, a committee has favor
ably reported out a Federal Old Age
Pension bill. The tide sweeps on.
The United States Chamber of Com
merce has endorsed pensions- The
Democratic National Party has put
an old age pension plank in its plat
form. It grows rapidly in favor.

Ralph Culpepper, . Irwinton
Red dust from the not yet payed
highway swirled around Johnson's
corner and shut everything from view
and no one could see me. Strange,
spooky feeling to be standing on The
Street’s busiest corner, unseen by oth
ers around me. Maybe I’ll be like
that some day, after I’ve cashed my
last old age pension check and become
a sauntering, musing, serene and un
beholden spirit, mingling with the
interesting loiterers and hearing their
funnv arguments which always run
into wild exaggerations. There’s a
dark spot moving in the thinning
red cloud. It’s about the size of a
departed bachelor friend. My hair
tickles my scalp and I ease away. The
dust is settling more rapidly and I
recognize a Hying friend. Phooey!
save he, We’d better get out of this.
Still warm enough to sit in the
postoffice swing without possums trot
ting up my back. Several cars are
parked at this corner so as to make a
little more excitement when two fast
drivers bounce around the drugstore
and look wild eyed at each other
with nowhere to turn because cars in
the way. About a dozen young men
are gathered between two of the cars
sitting on running boards or on the
sand deeply interested in their chat
ter, and W es Bell the only one stand
ing ready to go. No loafing for him.
Frank Dixon and Olan Bragg pass
along with casting rods. Nobody
objects to Bragg as a fishing partner.
Drank a glass of cane juice last
week and can't quit thinking how
good it was.
