Unemployment Insurance
Is unemployment insurance for
good or evil? I don’t know; but I be-
.lieve that many are now leaving their
jobs for vacations this summer and
are takjng their $25 per week “un
employment” insurance. I am sure
that such insurance encourages un
employment and increases the un
employment figures. Once each
month your state publishes what it
paid out the previous month to the
so-called “unemployed”. Much of
.this money is being taken unfairly,
■but the people say: “Everyone else
| is getting it, so why shouldn’t I?”
| Over half of the unemployed money
j which is being distributed every
: week in your community comes out
J of the rest of us. It is one of the chief
J causes for present high taxes. It is
teaching people to be dishonest; and
it is leading to great abuse and cor
ruption the same as did prohibjtion.

over 100 clerks are busy every day!

I was Assistant Secretary of Labor

is today.
The above facts show that until

How To Look
Let us look forward instead of
backward; upward instead of down

Think of the great unfilled orders
today for more automobiles, more
rbads, more houses, more bathrooms
and especially more household elec
trical appliances. This latter demand
is especially evident from the bud
gets which the public utility systems
have for the next few years. The
electric power companies alone tell
me that, unless some catastrophe like
war should happen, their output will
double during the next ten years.
This of itself will require new great
power units as well as new wire,
poles and millions of new motors and
appliances of all kinds. Certainly,
this is no time for those of good char
acter and education to worry about
unemployment. Such persons can,
if necessary, create new jobs for
themselves.

(From The Laurens Advertiser.)
A short visit here yesterday of Mr.
end Mrs. Ross H. Wilson, Ptovident
Bank building. Cincinnatti. Ohio, re
tailed an event in this city 40 years
ago which claimed the sympathy of
the entire town.
In the middle of May 1909, J. Ross
Wilson, a member of the Demorest
Comedy Company, was killed in his
dressing room by the accidental dis
charge of a pistol. The victim of the
tragedy was the father of Mr. Wil
son who stopped in the city yester
day. He said that he was a boy in
school in Stint Anne, Illinois, at the
time of the accidental death of his
father and that this was the first time
that he had been able to visit the
town that had such a sad memory for
him.
At his request, the files of The Ad
vertiser of that year were produced
and he read the account of the ac
cident which evidently stirred the,
town to its depths. He failed to see |
the eulogy paid the dead actor by the
then editor, S. E. Boney, on the ed
itorial page.
Mr. Wilson is now in the advertis
ing business and was passing through
Laurens on his way to see a client.
He wondered if there were any mem
bers of the 9th Infantry Division
around here. In World War II he was
a lieutenant colonel in that division
and also served in World War I.
Some of his people are still in show
business, he said. His only sister,
Lois, mentioned in The Advertiser at
the time of the accident, is in Holly
wood and is the wife of Milne Kib-
bee, brother of Guy Kibbee. His own !
daughter “Pat” is at Ohio State Un- j
iversity where she is active in dra
matics. , I
