THE NEWS-UKVIKW 1 in re ceipt of the following question leisuidlng tlio stuUi old uge pen giou: "Would a woman mat 75 years of ueo ou clllf iblo for the old ugo pension if ulio owns any property oven though tho income was totally Inade quale to maintain her? If sho diuw a pension would she l:o compelled to give a lien on her property to re-lmburso tho state for any monoy paid her?" As we understand tho law eith er the 1933 old age pension act or tho 1935 act and its amendments the pension la ror the needy aged. Under tho terms of the act, real property owned by the penBlon ap plicant iB pledged to tho state as security for the pension payments. Tho person who receives tho pon Diou, or his heliB, may redeem the property upon payment of the amount paid; in pensions plus an interest charge of throe per cent per year on the money. Tho homo, or other property of the aged per son, remains In ills possession. Tho News-Uevlew Is Informed that the slate ponslon Is grunted upon tho basis of need. If an appli cant has a small Income, from any source whatever, he is not barred from receiving a pension allhounh tho county court will consider the other Income whon sotting the amount of the pension. Tho ulm Is to add enough to the uppllcunt s in come by means of 'tho pension, to care for aclual need. The passage of tho sales tux will not change theso principles of the existing old ugo pension system in this Btuto. Steamboat Camp Filled THE CCC administration and the forest service hu,vo kept faith with this community. The feura ex pressed by the News-lluvlow, not long ago when It was unnouncod thut the CCC company slulloued at Steamboat wus to bo lukuu out, wore groundless. A new conipuny hus been sent to tho Steamboat tump and the work on tho road up the river bus proceeded almost without Interruption. The Novis-ltuvlott', remembering l Iki oxncrieiao of lust summer when the conipuny wus removed, feareil that wo nilRht see u repctl Him of what hulMiened then. Lust your, you may recall, tho Sleriin boat cump was varnted early In the Bprlng with the usHtiraiieu thut un other company would bo sent In Immediately. Tho oilier company railed to unpeur until lute In thn fall so an entlro summer's work was lost. It developed, however, that the trouble lust summer was dun to thn fuel Unit CCC enlist ments fell off to sueh un extent that tho cniniiiinles could not he recruited us rapidly us was ex pected.

The CCC program has been sharply cur lulled but through the efforts of the forest service alnl local peo ple, the Slmuilxxit eiiinp wus kepi on the liwt. Now if a CCC company at Dia mond hike can work toward Steam boat and the Steamboat company continues on up tho river, we shall have u connecting road between llonoburg and biiuuouil lake befure so very long.

When be finally closed the door on them he hurried to the kitchen, contrite. Khaiiene had worked so hard till day, she need ed her rest. There was a noble cocoa nut frosted cuke on the kitch en table, but no Sharleue. The kitchen door whs locked on the inside, so hu knew she had not gono home. 1 Ho lound her sound asleep on the bed in the second bedroom, tinder the light which w us still burning.

Half awake, ho smiled to see the ardor with which she attacked it, slender Toot pressing on the spude, and quickened to the swing of her lithe young body as she threw tne ppudofulB of earth, her earnest face flushed under tumbling (. Drown curls. - ti- Then a sick, forlorn kind of mis ery swept over him as he remem bered his resolve to go away from her. Uut he was not one to lie and mourn over the Inevitable, so he got up grimly and showered. He hud Just finished dressing when someone tried the front door and then knocked. He unlocked it und there stood Julie, tanned, smiling, impudent, guily appareled. Hello, durlfng!" she chirped, throwing herself Into his arms. "(Josh, I'm glad to see you again!" "When did you get? In? he ask ed with stiff lips. Yesterday in Frisco. . 8 flew down here last night." She dropped her arms and pushed past him Into the studio, surveying it quickly. 'Ciouh, everything goes on Just the sume, doesn't it? Sumo old paints same old picturos every thing!" Site turned her bright eyes o: Stuart, who hud remained u tho open doorwuy. ion re look-. i tin swell!

Stuart heard Shurlene's voice and Instant-! ly Julie cocked her cur In that di ed Ion. ! Shurlenc came through the kitchen into the studio, calling as she cumc: "Stuart, are you up? fho grocery boy is hero and I need u dollar und thirty-nine" i Sho stopped short, seeing Julie for the first time. The two women. astounded, measured each other for un Instant. Then Shaiiene lifted her chin ever so little and went hack to the kitchen, closing tho door. "Well, for crying out loud!" said Julio when she could get her breath. "When are you going to Bond her husband back to her?" Stuart demanded harshly through .set teeth. "Him?" Julio's Hp curled. "She enn have him buck any minute! Maybe ou don't think I'm sick of that piece of cheese afte three months of him on a South Sea is land!" She looked ut Stuart wtth sudden willfulness. "t;ee, you look good to me, kid!" Ho did not answer und his ryes were like blue glaciers. Site shrugged after a moment of un comfortable silence and tossed hot head. "Keally," nhe said elegantly, "I'm afraid Tin a trifle de trop bore. I'awdon me if 1 seem 10 rush awuy!" She glanced ut the closed doir to l he kitchen and laughed shrilly. Then nhe swaRKered out past Stuart, who still stood In the open doorway. Sharleue was just taking pop over from the oven when Stuart came Info tho kitchen. "I've art the breakfast table out under tho euculyptus trees. Stuart. If a heuveuly morning. Urine the coffee-. h1, will you? 1 have ewry thing else." He followed hor out, amazed at her composure, when his own mind was such a jangle of confuted emo tions. 'Th. I'm hungry!" she said, but tertug a pupoter. "That digging Uiu fcivcu me aa appetite. TUESDAY. JANUARY style, eh?" He could not say anything cas ual for the lifo of him as he Blir- red his coffee. "Stuart, I think I'll put puusles around that bed, if you'd like it, There's a little Jap place down the hill where we can get plunts for twenty-five cents a dozen. Then In the center we'll plant your pe tunia seeds "What'- the use," he broke in desperately, and his voice wus harsh, "you won't bo here to see them come up! You saw Julie here you know Dainerell is back Well" She lowered her lashes and looked at the shifting pattern of shadows cast on the ground bji the trembling euculyptus leaves. j At What I must know Is are you glad he's back?" Sho waited in un bearable suspense for his answer. Stuart shrugged. I'm glad for your suke to have this preposter ous farce ended!" HiB gesture took in the spuded garden and tho breakfast table. She was hurt as she had never been hurt before. 'Ho you wunt tne to go, Stu art?" she asked, fighting back the tears. ' Has it- been so dreadful for you?" , "Us time it ended." was all ho said. There was a long silence. Then Sharlene asked, very low: "You believe that I'll go back to him "I know It. I saw it work be fore. Once you luy eyes on hlm- 'I won't! 1 won't! I hate him she said with a sudden blaze of au ger.- 'hio you don't, Shurlene. You cant help yourself, it's old Mother .Nature. . . .

You can make your own terms." She regarded him resentfully. "What a life for me! And yet you seem to wart tn push me into his arms. No. I Just want to hasten the inevitable and get through with it." She tightened her lips und got up to clear Iho table. "It's Juwt as well to know where I stand," she said, slamming the dishes to gether. "Since I'm such a nuis ance to you, I'll go gladly. Uut 1 wont go back to him!" She curried the dishes Into the kitchen, head high In the air. Stuart stared intently ut a bird plucking worms out of the newly spaded bed. JJreseittly he got up and went through the house. "I'm going down town for supplies." he called to Sharleue In the kitchen. She did not turn from the sink, but splashed water loudly from the tap to cover the quiver of her voice as she called buck: "All right." Before making his purchases at the art store, Stuart stopped lu to see Mr. Kolsom. "I want to deed thut little house In Hollywood buck to Sharlene, Mr. Folsom." "Why, .Mr. Pennington, I'm sure she doesn't want it back. It gave her such pleasure to give It to you." "Hut H will give her a place to live, don't you see? And surely there'll bo some small Income left out of her own or her mother's for tune " "Just what are you talking Mlmtit. Mr. lVnninglon?" "Sharlene. She told ine about being broke " "Broke? hid she but that wao a joke! She's bad heavy losses of course but she rWuses to take them seriously. About a month ago when she was up here I was arguing against her throwing good money aftfr bad Into a cr taiu worthless iuvenUueuL and filially oaid, 'Sharleue, you're 2f. 1936. broke!" Did that phase her? No! She took It aa tf I'd given her a present. J u aped to her feet, all xcited, and "aaid, "mat splen did, thank you! it's only when you're broke. Mr. Folsorn. that there's a chance of picking up the pieces!' She tore out of here as if she was going to a fire, and 1 haven't beard from her since, ex cept that she called up to say she waa going east and tnat sneu nau her bank statement sent to me. Odd. Some whim or other wo men, you know, Mr. Pennington. But of course she was joking with you " You mean," Stuart spoke slow ly In a bewildered way, "he has a lot of money yet?" Certainly. fcJven ir tne Maim ing company failed. She has a lot of good aolid government bonds und aome really handsome first mortguges. 1 should hope 1 d do my duty by the truat better than ui let it all be wiped out, even in these bad times. "I Joes she know? 'Of course." "Well," Stuart said awkwardly, thank you, Mr. Folsom. She prob ably won't want the little house then." Oh. no. I'm sure though it was nice of you to suggest it. Built for a studio, wasn't It? And thut re minds me, Mr. Folsom went to the door with Stuart, "I've been to see every exhibit of your palntlnps. You re my favorite artist, you know. I'd like to see more of you. 've missed you since thut Is, for the lust year or so. 'Come up to the studio some time. Perhaps you'd like to see the library panels I'm doing."

LIBERALISM HELD ONLY MASK FOR COMMUNISM Editor Ne win-He view : The po litical game looks like a puzzle to me, arm one bard to solve. We used to hear talk about democrats aud republicans and once In a while a third party would come onto the field for a short time only, then vanish ad mysteriously as it came. Uut dcmociacy and the democratic party stood for certain fundamen tal principles. Republicanism and the republican party stood lor dei iuite lundaiuentul principles and both stood for Ihe constitution till so much of the subversive propa ganda has flooded our country. These lust few years the talk has been about liberal democracy. Is there any such thing as liberal democracy? What does liberal thus used mean? It means communism. Communism ami democracy do nut blend; either comunism or democ racy must rule the tenets of the party and its platform. Now we see in the papers about liberal republicanism and republi can libeiulism communism under a different name and the republi can principles do not blend. We are seeing liberal democracy working out und when we read In Eagles Charity Dance Wednesday, January 22 Maccabee Hall New Five-Piece Staple Merchandise Gents ?5c the paper that some public maa is talking about running for otfica as a liberal republican, let's look up bis record, for by a man's rec ord e shall know him. Not alwayt can we judge a man by what friend or foe may say of him. but by his affiliations and public acts. This is a crucial year aud we should be alert with wide ope'u eyes and ears. Bight now we as a country are so in debt that 1 am wondering if it is possible to ever extricate our selves from national debt? Yet the spending orgy goes on. Several years ago 1 was in New York City and saw many sights:. Wonderful parks, wonderful build ings, subway, elevated and surface cars make a stranger from a small town almost dizzy. Among all the wonders In the great city 1 saw what is called a "bridle path" where those who are able to own or hire a riding horse may enjoy themselves, isn't it fine that $5u0, 000 of taxpayers' money Is to be used to ake the bridle paths "more attractive for horsemen" of News York City? When and how are all these debts to be paid? Oh, yes! $1,238, OOo has been set aside to enable Indians to repair their houses. Why should any money, even ?80U, be paid to three men to Btudy Russian rainfall? This is certainly a liberal administration and when we have reached the limit of spend ing who will be able to rescue the nation? Do we want to blindly let things go on or awuken to our re sponsibilities? MRS. EMMA P. WQODS.il ADOLPH'S OBSERVATIONS I'm not much of an art critic, but once in a while I notice some thing that fixes itself in my mind either because 1 think it'B excep toually good or very ridiculous. I saw a statue last summer and since then, every time 1 think of it 1 get an imaginary backache. This thing was a great bronze, likeness of Sacajawea and she has her left foot forward and is point ing with her right hand. If you want to know what is bothering: me, try standing like that and see if you don't get a puiu in the side. This Indian woman was a great friend to the whites and it seems she ought to be depicted as having ut least sense enough to know how, to stand. There are conditions of course under which we all act funny. She has a baby strapped on her buck and it's possible that the kid Is, kicking her on the kidneys.
