One month from Wednesday friend wife may go back home and cook the meals for friend hubby if at the pres ent time she is holding down a pub lic office with her husband -which pays more than $800 a year, for that is the day when the nepotism law passed by the last legislature will go into effect.

The law reads that after the law goes into effect it shall be unlawful for a person elected or appointed to any office to appoint a relative to a job in the same office. Some of the interested ones appear to believe that in the cases where the appoint ment was made prior to the law go ing into effect it does not apply for the reason that the law says nothing about those already appointed.
