Minto today announced that sea sonal enforcement program will be in effect over the Fourth of July holiday season.

Retirement Act Explained Major provisions of the pub lic employes' retirement and merit rating acts which go into effect July 1 were pointed out to the Rotary club Wednesday noon by Forrest Stewart, executive secretary of the state employes' association. Many of these em ployes are partically permanent and have been in state service from 10 to 35 years and would gladly have retired at 65 years instead of being kept on the' payroll as a literal pensioner, he said. A sound retirement plan will enable these to retire grace fully and open the way for re turned veterans. County an d municipal employes as well as teachers may come under pro visions of the act if the coun ties so elect, Stewart said. Employes will contribute a percentage of their salaries to be matched by the state, being retired at 65 years on approxi mately 50 per cent of their av erage salary for. the last five years. Provision is also made for those who have been on the pay roll for many years prior to this time who may retire after 1947. Certain disability allow ances are also granted.
