The commission said it received 169,633 returns in the 1951-52 fiscal year as com pared to 115,964 returns in the 1950-51 fiscal year.

Whether narrfes of 75 per cent of the county's 225 employes can be secured on the petitions is the big question now, it was indicated, since the payroll has a high pro portion of persons over 60 years and thus ineligible to sign, al though counted in the total for percentage figuring. In addition, there are a considerable number who have state retirement credit for a considerable part of the 30 years needed for retirement and who do not desire to switch plans, since Social Security pays benefits only after age 65. Seventeen county employes al ready past 65 years have been granted permission by the state retirement program to remain on the payroll. The petitions were launched by members of the road crew and so far have listed fewer than 50 per cent of the county staff. When completed they would go before the County Court for reference to the state. - . LIKES POST OFFICE PENS RIVERBANK, Calif. Post master Julian Bordona says he has now heard everything.
