4 no the only, communities tn Indiana hoe relief problems have diminished Instead of tocreasinf with the coming winter. Za Afiderwn. for the last three months there has been an appreciable decline to the number of families who bare applied to the central relief or realization for assistance. In the months of October and November 197 families either YolantarUy withdrew from the relief rolls or were taken off by reason of special tarestteaUona, This Is a community which has be come conscious of the fact that there is no subsututo for employment tn this period of industrial expression. Its relief work Is predicated on the theory that work, not charity, la the oenre or us tmiortunates and while direct reuex is granted to the digent, ft Is granted only when the organized charities find It Impossible to proTids for those who ob tain it.

Wcticlics and Cloclt Reduced 10 IN aura Is approzsnately tXl per eenL. and some lndustiial dtlee tt Is more than SO per cent. Ce OperaUew Seea. No small part of the credit for the smoothly working and efficient relief rystem of this city is due to the c)om co operation between the employing factories of Anderson and the central relief bureau, which clears all applications for relief. The pay rolls of the factories are open to the relief organlzaUona.

The master cards tn the Hies of the central relief bureau not only show the MTTilrp of the head of the family seeking relief, but are crossed to every other member of the family who Is employed and the family Is surveyed as a group before the relief needs are determined. Anderson has become conscious of the fact that there la no satisfactory substitute for work in this struggle to care for those who are In distress. Its relief efforts are devoted to finding or supplying employment to those who apply for help to the end that there shall develop no disposition on the part of the indigents to settle down and live on the direct relief that is afforded either by government or charity. Casts Arc As a result, the governmental costs of poor relief In this dty of 39 04 Inhabitants are running about $300. 000 a year, which Is only approxl mately one fourth of the costs a comparable nelgnbonng city with a population that is not to Anderson.

Co operation between officials of the dty, the county, employers of labor, the business Interests and the charitably inclined is given as the cause for the reasonableness of the relief costs here. Made work is provided to the full extent possible through the oo oper atlon of the dty and county. Indi gents are required to work for town ship orders for groceries, and they are paid In cash for such work as can be provideo for them. community fund supports the cash payments for labor, and provision has been made to maintain this relief until next March. Every other week the sble bodled men.

who are Included In this group, work a day for which they are paid $2.50. Approximately 600 men are on this list. On December 13. seventy men were so employed. In November, 954 days were worked by this group on two projects which are giving the taxpayers some tangible results of their expenditures for relief.

One of these projects is for the county and consists of the straighten ing and improvement of a road lead ing Into the city which has long been Inconvenient and hazardous. Supervision and tools are supplied by the county's highway department. The other project is a boulevard which is being built between Madison and In diana avenues under plans promulgated by the clty'i planning commis sion, with supervision, materials and tools supplied by the city. Regretfully, the directors of relief admit that they are not able to require work in return for more than one third of the township grocery re llel orders at present. Lack of suitable projects, bad weather and a scarcity of money for supervision Is slowing down the work project for the winter.

But they point with considerable pride to the thorough ren ovation of the city's parks and other property wmcn was done last summer when as many as ITS men were dally engaged in earning their foods and other relief. Grocery Orders Filled. Anderson has evolved a plan by which the grocery orders of J. Wesley Stewart, township trustee, may be filled at any one of twenty three groceries in the dty. The order Is Issued for a specific sum.

The recipient selects his own source and. within certain established restrictions, may select his own food. The only restriction as to the price charges for each item is that it shall not be more than jJJj Pieces Gem Emerald Cut Diamond Ring, platinum mounting.

It i i Honors In the Oirl Scout book cam paign for the James Whltcomb ROey Hospital for Children went to Troop 9, and to ulss Irma Williams, a member of that troop. Troop 9 with headquarters at the Pint Reformed church. Tenth street and Oakland avenue, collected 2M books and came in for first prise for troops in the campaign. MUs WH uams, who ooUected 106 volumes.

won the prise the Individual Boout competition. Second troop honors be long to Troop 16 of the Wallace the grocer regulsrly charges his other customers. Delivery Is not reculred of the grocer although it it frequently granted at the request of the Indi gent. By permitting the recipient of the order to select his own store, the volume of business done by the grocer is made dependent oq his treatment of relief order and the Indigent naturally gravitates to the grocery that gives him the best food and the most liberal treatment. Checkers are constantly In the field and the grocer who undertakes to grant a request for money Instead of groceries or who yields to the temptation of short eights risks Instant detection by some one of the Indigents who has been Instructed by the trustee to test the grocer's honesty.

Little Complaint Heard. Because of the credit of three to five months Involved In payment by the county of theae grocery bills, deal ers are not expected to give the township the benefit of sales prices, and because these prices usually are ot fered on Saturday, no township orders are filled on Saturday. Little or no complaint is heard of the aystem and the prices paid by the trustee for groceries are, almost without exception. comparable to the regular retail mar ket prices prevailing In the city. One big feature of the work of the charity organizations in this "City the extent to which they go to make the Indigents familiar with the system and the problems of operation.

Printed bulletins of information tn which the problems of relief are frankly discussed are Issued at intervals to all of the 1,213 families on the roles. In the relief offices there is a business like, but human, courtesy at all tlmri Friendliness and good spirit marks the transactions in which the disposition to "do the best we can" exists on the part of both indigents and relief workers and is most noticeable to the observer. The central relief bureau, maintained In a business room in the heart of the city, receives the full Urns at tention of Frank Allls, acting for a special committee of Anderson's charitably inclined clUxens, $40,639 Spent by State in Tornado Mine, Bonus Relief Cost to the state of guarding mines against outbreaks In the Indiana coal fields, of transporting a wing of the bonus army across the state last i spring and of relief work in the Vernon tornado area this fall amounted to $40,019. Paul E. Tombaugb, adjutant general, pointed out In his annual report to sOovernor Barry Q.

Leslie. The biggest item In these forced activities was that for guarding the Dixie Bee mine, which cost S36.06S. Troops still are guarding that mine. The greater part of the $100,000. appropriated by the special session legislature last summer will revert to the state general fund February 1, when the resolution runs out.

In the opinion of L. O. Chasey, secretary to the Oovernor. Tombaugb said tn the report that the condition of the national guard now Is the most satisfactory In ha history. Ha pointed out that disbursements for armories In the fiscal year were that prvpeity held by the guard Is valued at Sles.
