    Efforts of New Deal Tax gatherers to pinch pennies from church stands serving meals during the Kosciusko county fair did not receive the approval of Jacob S. Koontz, prosecuting attorney. Koontz was receiving congratulations on his stand which became generally known the first of this week. A tax gatherer was in Warsaw to collect a license fee of $3.50 from women’s church societies which served dinner during the fair. Some stands refused and the tax gatherer asked Prosecuting Attorney Koontz to file charges against the offending church groups.
