Reports Tell
Rigged Drug
Cases, Dallas
DALLAS - The internal af-
fairs section of the Dallas Police
Department is investigating
reports that narcotics officers
have framed several persons by
planting drugs in their
possession and then arresting
them. Informed sources have
told a newsman that one
supervisor in the drug abuse
section admitted he resorted to
that practice. A veteran in-
vestigator was quoted as saying
that the officer claimed that he
was trying to develop in-
formants and that by planting
drugs he put people in a
position where they had to
become informants to avoid
prison terms. Police Chief Don
Byrd has denied knowledge of
the practice.
The investigation stemmed
from efforts by the internal
affairs division to determine
what happened to nine ounces of
a substance believed to be high-
grade heroin with a street value
of more than 100 thousand
dollars. A narcotics officer first
said he flushed the substance
down a drain because he was
concerned investigators would
find it in his locker. Later, when
asked to take a lie detector test,
he resigned and said he gave
part of the substance to other
unidentified officers.

Peanut butter as we know it
dates back to 1890, and the
supermarket is still stocking
some of the original batch.
There’s nothing like taking a
vacation to make you realize
how much urgent work the boss
can put off till you get back.
FERRIS
NEWS
Bv Mary Lois Saveli
It’s a beautiful world full of
wonderful people!
The people in Ennis, Bristol
and Ferris have shown their
love and concern over the loss of
my home by fire - a very great
way.
Every way I turn there is
someone with something in the
way of gifts. Money, clothes,
toilet articles and all sorts of
things for my new home which
will be on East 8th St.
There was a shower and a
money tree given - in the home
of Mr. and Mrs. James Douglas
with more beautiful useful
things and the leaves on the tree
were a beautiful shade of green
with president’s pictures on
them, and many colored pieces
of paper that read “Pay to the
Order of--”, and they might as
well have been signed “With
Love” because they showed it!
I have shed tears over all the
keepsakes that I lost like
African Violets from a friend in
Houston, Coleus from another
friend, 3 ivies from other

... Miss Ferris
friends, some flowers that were
given to me when I lost my son
and a poinsetta that was as tall
as a cotton stalk that was a
Christmas present.
Now I will have a houseful of
keepsakes, because everyone is
giving me so many things.
I could write a book if I said
thank you to all of the people
who have been so loving and
kind.
I’m so happy to say that Mrs.
Susie Witherspoon is better and
out of intensive care at Baylor.
Mrs. Troy Wilson’s condition
continues to be grave. She is in
League lost their game.

Mrs. Robbie Hale Sat. Aug. 30.
Assisting Mrs. Hale were

Why does the $15 chemistry
book become obsolete just when
the second-oldest begins the
class?
The boss grumps that, when
we handle a job, it’s finished —
wrecked.
Social Security
The amount of money that is
entering Ellis County each
month via the social security
route is large and is growing
larger. It has become an im-
portant element in the local
economy.
Its growth is due to changes
made in the social security law
in the last few years, affecting
the number of beneficiaries and
the size of their checks.
Accoridng to the official
figures covering the past year,
retirement and disability
payments are now going to 8,415
persons in the area, as com-
pared iwth 7,561 three years
ago.
Hie majority of them are
retired workers. Most of the
others are disabled workers,
widows or dependent children.
Hie facts and figures, with a
breakdown for each county in
die United States, are contained
in the annual report of the
Social Security Administration.
It shows that more than $60
billion was paid out in the past
year to the nearly 31 million
people who were eligible to
receive benefits.
Ellis County, payments for
die year averaged $1,708 per
recipient, considerably more
than the $1,133 paid them three
years ago.
The amount of cash flowing
into the local area was in-
creased primarily during the
past year by the 11 per cent
boost in benefits that went into
effect.
That is expected to be the
final adjustment of the kinds.
Hereafter any escalations are to
be related to increases in the
cost of living, as determined by
the Consumer Price Index. The
first application of it came in
July, when higher prices
resulted in an automatic hike of
8 per cent. ,
The government report shows
that overall payments to Ellis
County residents during 1974
totaled $14,376,000, a marked
increase over the $8,568,000 that
went to them three years ago.
The rise, 68 per cent, tops the
United States rise of 66 per'cent'.
As for contributions to the
fund, the payroll tax continues
at 5.85 per cent for workers and
for employers. It is being ap-
plied, however, on earnings up
to $14,100, rather than on
$13,200, as was the case las
year.
