Workers Declared Ineligible For Benefits Columbia, August 29.—W. P. A. employes are deemed to be “in employment’* and are therefore not ^eligible to unemployment benefits, R. Brice Waters, admin istrator for the South Carolina unemployment compensation com mission, said today in clarifying misunderstandings relative to the status of these workers. “It has been determined in South Carolina”, the adminis trator stated, “that while engaged on a Works Progress administra tion project, an individual cannot be considered to be unemployed and, therefore, under the state law, no benefits can be paid to him by the unemployment com pensation commission. ‘“Claimants are required in fil ing their claims to report all wages earned, including wages from W. P. A. work, for the week tor which benefits are claimed Withholding of such information constitutes a violation of the law”, the official added. x —,....

New Developments in Processing Cotton Provide Heat Resistant Cord More Durable Than Rubber / Compounds. Macon, Ga., Sept. 1.—Taking issue with an article appearing in a recent issue of Time Magazine to the effect that synthetic rayon cord for automobile tire fabric might displace cotton and there fore lose for cotton farmers one of their largest markets, Wm. D. Anderson, President of Bibb Manufacturing Company, one of the largest producers of cord fab ric in the world, pointed to re cent developments in the process ing of cotton, which, he stated, produced a Heat Resistant Cord far superior to any synthetic type. “Therefore,” he added, “there is little likelihood that the con sumption of cotton in the manu facture of automobile tires will ever be displaced by any other material. “The new Heat Resistant Cord we are now producing,” said Mr. Andei*son, “outlives and outlasts any rubber yet compounded for automobile tires. Cotton fiber is as strong as steel. The tensile strength of cotton cord depends upon the resistance to slippage of the individual fibers. Through a revolutionary new principle in processing cotton, a way has been Columbia, Sept. 2.—(Special)— South Carolina hunters and fish ermen will gather in annual con vention in Columbia September 15 to review their year’s work and set new goals. Several hundred delegates from the county chapters are expected to gather at the American Legion hut and lake on the Camp Jack- son reservation for the one day’s celebration, according to West Jacocks, state secretary. The morning program will be given over to the business of the con vention, and following a barbecue dinner, an elaborate entertain ment program is planned for the iftemoon. Dr. Havilah Babcock, head of the department of English of the University of South Carolina, and nationally known writer of game and fish stories, will make the principal address at noon. A feature of the program will be the presentment of papers by John D. Nock of Cheraw. Stockton Jenkins of Pinewood, and Ingram Wilson of Summerton, resulting from their studies into phases of the game and fish life and pro- action in the state. The Richland county chapter will serve a barbecue dinner to the visitors at midday. Chris G. Langley is president of the host chapter. During the afternoon a dozen contests will be held for the sportsmen, ranging from plug and fly casting and competitive shoot ing to log chopping, axe throwing and archery. C. Y. Reamer is chairman of the entertainment and has about three dozen Colum bians handling the details of the program. An exhibition of fancy and ex- nert shooting will be put on by Herbert Parsons, and in the even ing there will be moving pictures of outstanding interest. “State officials of the ganie and forestry departments, as well as the federal officials, are coop erating with the sportsmen’s local committees in making this con vention the greatest ever held by the organizaton” declared Secre tary Jacocks. “While only the of ficial delegates will have the power of voting in the convention, our doors are wide open to every one interested in the conserva tion work of the association and they are invited to all sessions.’* discovered to soften the natural gums and waxes inherent in every cotton fiber and to fuse the cot ton fibers with these gums and waxes as they are rehardened so that they become set and bonded to a degree never before attained. The new process provides a cord which retards to a remarkable degree the generation cf heat in an automobile tire, but even more important, this new process pro duces a cord which maintains uniform tensile strength under the high temperatures necessarily generated in any tire when sub jected to hard use and heavy loads at sustained high speeds. Under operating conditions this new type Heat Resistant Cord is 25% stronger than ordinary cord and flex breaks have been elimi nated. “With this increased strength comes a more compact, lighter cord, which enables the tire manufacturer to secure the strength and safety of a 6-ply tire with a 4-ply construction. Synthetic cord (rayon) loses a great part of its tensile strength upon contact with moisture. The Insurance r Fire Insurance And Ail Other Kinds of Insurance In* chiding Life Insurance. HUGH C. BROWN, McCORMICK, S. C. Heat Resistant Cord, prevents ‘tire growth’ and tread cracks, which cause premature tire failure, “Mr. Anderson explained. Leading manufacturers are now using the new Heat Resistant Cord, es pecially in the manufacture of heavy duty truck tires. “The future problem of the Tire Industry is not to find a substi tute for cotton,” Mr. Anderson concluded, “but to develop new rubber compounds, which will last as long as the Heat Resistant Cord fabric now at the command of the Industry.”
