Too bad it rained out the fisher
men yesterday afternoon, especially
since it was the first Wednesday of
the summer closing. But it may be
just as well, considering a report by
a fisherman the other day that there
, wasn’t sitting room on the banks of
Lake Greenwood. We could hardly
j doubt his statement, judging from
jthe number of cars bearing fishing
poles seen in recent days.
A bill introduced by Representa
tive James P. Sloan of this city, lib
eralizing imemployment Compensa
tion payments was passed last week
by the House of Representative|i by
an overwhelming majority.
Commenting on the passage of this
bill by the House, Representative
Sloan asserted that his amendments
to the unemployment compensation
law was proposed in the bill “will
serve as a definite advantage to the
laboring man in South Carolina. Ev
ery working man has the right to the
assurance that he will receive imem
ployment compensation should he
face the misfortune of losing his job.”
“This bill,” if passed by the Senate,
will be a very definite benefit to
affected employees of Laurens coun
ty,” said Sloan.
Specifically, Representative Sloan
listed the following eight advantagr
es of his proposed amendments;
. All wages will be posted to the
day a worker is laid otf.
2. Claims will be determined in a
few minutes in local offices.
3. Benefits will be paid in local
offices two weeks after valid claim
is filed.
4. The worker will have in his pos
session a complete record of his wag
es earned so he will know what his
benefits will be.
5. The worker will be saved three
out of five trips to the employment
office to get his first check.
6. The stamp book plan, as pro
posed by this bill, will make avail
able to the worker all his wages,
whereas under the present law, three
to six months of a worker’s wages
are now held back and not used
when computing benefits. That is
one of the bad features of the pres
ent law, which disqualifies about
one-third of the workers who apply
for benefits.
7. This bill will pay a worker when
he has qualified for one check,
whereas under the present law a
worker can’t get any benefits unless
he can qualify for 16 checks.
8. Under this stamp book plan, a
claims deputy would be located in
each local -emplisyment office to
handle all claims and disputes aris
ing from unemployment claims. Un
der the present law the local office
cannot do anythii^ but take the
claim and send it to Columbia.

The favored Clemson Tigers cop
ped team honors Saturday in the 17 th
annual South Carolina Intercollegi
ate track and field meet staged on
Johnson field. It was the third suc
cessive Clemson victory.
The University “^bf South Caroling
pushed the winners for second place,
with Presbyterian college third.
The Tigers, paced by Capt. Mar
shall Walker, rolled up a total of 56^4
points to 44 for South Carolina, 23 ^
for Presbyterian, 23 for Furman, and
IT for Newberry. Uipil the two-ittUe
run, in which Clemson 'men placed
1-2-3, the Tigers had held only a
slim 3% point margin over the
Gamecocks.
Big Pierce Timberlake, of Presby
terian college, was a sensation in the
440-yard dash which he won in 51.6
seconds. Boxed in by three Clemson
men and forced to break his stride
at one time when he stepped on the
heels of a South Carolina runner, he
put on an amazing burst of speed
from the last turn to the finish line.
With a little luck he mi|^t have
equalled or bettered the record. Tim
berlake also made a strong bid for
the 880-yard dash, but he was not
quite equal to fhe job of overhaul
ing Harvey Blouin of South Carolina,
who led all the way. He challenged
Blouin on the stretch but the Game
cock moved away and Timberlake
barely came in ahead of George
Dickerson of Clemson.
