It makes you feel and look cooler. The assured satis faction of our cleaning ser\ ice is the answer white suits, frocks, sum mer sweaters in fact everything may be sent with safety! Greenwood Dry Cleaning Co. ‘’Dependable Cleaners” SPENCER GLASGOW, Rep. k / Students And Teach ers Seeking Summer Work Reminded To Get Social Security Account Cards Students and teachers entering commercial and industrial em ployment this summer were re minded by Miss Martha Pressly, Manager of the Social Security Board’s Greenwood, S. C., Field Office, that they will need Social Security Account numbers. Before beginning employment. Miss Pressly said, they should apply for a number at her office or any one of the 318 Field Offices located in cities throughout the country. It is estimated by the Federal Office of Education that this sum mer approximately 1,000,000 stu dents may begin their business careers, or take a job during vaca tion. ‘•Whether the employment is part-time, temporary, or perma nent, and although the employer has no other employee, a report of the employee’s wages together with his account number .nust be made to the Federal Government by the employer,” Miss Pressly ex plained. “The employee is re quired to report his account num ber to his employer. “All wages an employee received during his entire life from em ployment covered under the Old- Age Insurance system will be counted as credit toward his old- age insurance. Wages for tempo rary or part-time employment, no matter how small, will increase by that much the worker’s credits toward old-age benefits. It is therefore important to the em ployee that his wages reported by his employer be identified by an account number so that they will be correctly recorded in his old- age insurance account. “Approximately 1,360,000 stu dents are being graduated from public and private high schools and an estimated two-thirds or about 906,000 of these will not en ter higher schools. In addition, approximately 136,000 students will be graduated from colleges and universities.” “Wed?~Of Work After July 1 Job In surance Requirement General Counsel Explains Meaning of “IVeek of Employment” Columbia, June 11.—“At least one week” in covered employment after July 1 is required by the South Carolina unemployment compensation law of all persons who qualify for total unemploy ment benefits, Henry R. Sims, general counsel for the commis sion, said in interpreting the pro vision of the act setting the time for starting out-of-work payments in this state. He explained, howeve’r, *Ehat the state law defined a “week* of em ployment” as “any week within which the individual performs any employment” for a subject em ployer. Therefore, a worker will not necessarily have to be em ployed an entire calendar week after July 1 before losing his job in order to meet this requirement of the law. The law defines “covered” em ployment as work for any employ er who contributes to the unem ployment compensation fund. Before any applicant can quali fy for total unemployment bene fits it must be found by the com mission that: (1) He has had at least 13 weeks of work in “covered” em ployment within the 52 weeks pre ceding his most recent week of work; (2 > He has registered for work at the state employment office nearest his home or last place of work, and returns to that office at such intervals as the commis sion may designate. (If suitable work is available he will be re quired to accept it, thus canceling his claim.) (3) He is physically and men tally able to work, and available 1 for work. <4) He makes a claim for bene fits in accordance with provisions of the law; (5) He serves a waiting period for at least two-weeks during which he is unemployed and dur ing which he was eligible for ben efits in all other respects but did not receive benefits. Persons having part-time em ployment may apply for partial benefits. Payments will be started just as soon as possible after the commission has determined the applicant’s rights to benefits. The requirement for a “waiting period” only applies to benefits for total unemployment. In applying for benefits each individual will be requested to register his Social Security ac count number so that the com mission may quickly and positive ly identify his employment record —if he has one—in its files. Be cause so many names are the same or very nearly the same, So cial Security numbers will be the only positive means of identifying a worker’s record. No two Social Security numbers are the same. No down payment—up to 18 raonthi to pay, in low month ly installments. A first class job,done by an experienced master painter; with the fa mous H. B. Davis Co. of Bal timore paint products.
