They got their $5000.00 for two years to give as prize money for these boys and girls. The old people wanted the Old Age Assistance Act reduced from 70 years to 65. It was. The Town send memorial was passed through the Senate. The Women's Club and sister or ganizations wanted a nadditional appropriation for the Doernbecher Hospital for crippled children and forty additional beds for the East ern Oregon Tuberculosis Hospital at The Dalles. The Tuberculosis Hospital at The Dalles got 40 additional beds and the Doernbecher Hospital got a much larger appropriation this year.

Labor wanted unemployment in surance to tide them over when they were out of employment also State hospitalization to take care of their families if they contracted tubercu losis or infantile paralysis.
