-Ills "wealth" gone, C. C. Flem
ing grubbed in an orchard near

what might have been.
Fleming, yon will recall, is the
man who was lifted from obscure
poverty in a five-room frame cot
tage here to be the cynosure of
millions of aged when a Townsend
pension plan worker named him
the nation's first ' "pensioner" , a
few months ago. . ?
Fellow townsmen elected him
to test the plan, gave him $200 to
spend In SO days. He set out noon
what for him was a spending orgy
unequalled since his days as a
cotton planter In Texas. For two
weeks he spent, posed for news
paper and news reel photograph
ers, and got his pictures in mag'
asines and papers.
There was talk of a movie con
tract, stage appearances, of a con
tinuation of the $200 monthly
payment for. at least six months.
if not for life, or a Job that would
pay at least $$0 a week. Isom
Lamb, the Townsend organiser.
he said, promised all these things.
He talked about it today after
finishing a nine-hour day in the
orchard.
"Of course it is the same old
thing. he said, "but I tell yon
I'd rather be spending $200 a
month.
Hoped It Would Last
"Yon know I figured when
started I'd be getting $200
straight through for six months.
I think Lamb meant good; but
why don't he come back and make
good?"
Lamb, he said. "Is in Utah
some place working another test.
"I don t have no more Idea
than the man in the moon wheth
er he'll be coming back or not. My
groceries are all gone, but my
furniture Is still good. Ma's per
manent wave still looks pretty
good." (Ma is his wife.)
Mrs. Anna Pilsen, another chos
en for the test, spent a small part
of the $200 "pension" that was
doled out before Lamb got anoth
er call. She said she was disap
pointed.
"I thought I'd have finished
spending my money long ago,'
she said. "But now I don't know.'
