During February the South Car olina Unemployment Compensa tion Commission paid veterans of World War II a total of $854,329 in unemployment allowances un dcr, the Servicemen’s Readjust ment Act of 1944, an increase of only eigth-tenths of one per cent over the total paid in January, a statement issued by the depart ment shows. While total allowances appeared numerically large, nevertheless claimants represented only a small portion of the veterans who have been discharged since the cessa tion of active hostilities. During the week ending March 16, 10,024 veterans were paid unemployment allowances. This figure represent ed only 7.4 per cent of 136,205 in dividuals who had been reported to Selective Service headquarters in South Carolina as separated from the armed forces as of March 16. Because the allowance program has been in effect little more than a year, relatively few of the ser vicemen exhausted their rights to payments during the month—28, to be exact. However, this was an increase of nine over exhaustions in January. No veteran may re ceive more than 52 weeks of “en titlement,” which at the maximum rate of $20 per week, would pro vide him a total maximum of $1,- 040 under Title V of the Readjust ment Act. It is anticipated that the number of exhaustions will increase at a rapid rate. The agency received only 7,608 “initial” claims for allowances in February, 13.8 per cent less than in January. An initial claim is the first claim filed by a veteran at J -he beginning of a period of unemployment. “Continued” claims, on the other hand, totaled 54,496, an increase of 27.1 per cent over January, a gain to be expect ed because these are filed subse quent to initial claims and merely reflect previous increases in initial claims.

WRITE A WANT AD CASH IN ON STUFF- IN ‘nr-L.—in 1 _JU THE ATTIC _ ir ~^jj| If Certain former servicemen may now enlist, in grades commensura' e with their training and experi ence, regardless of the time that has elapsed since their discharge, according to Captain Donald ' J. Baker, Commanding Officer of this Greenwood Sub-Station of the U- nited States Army Recruiting Ser vice of South Carolina. The new regulation is a splendid example of the streamlined think ing of the new Regular Army. It is further demonstration of the fact that the Army is seeking t > enlist men of the highest type cf technical skill and training, and i> giving them positions of responsi bility comparable to those whi&i they could demand in civilian Ufa. Such Army jobs and ratings wilt be available in some 400 different classifications. Men who hav^ been discharged will find their MOS numbers listed under Item No. 21 on the reverse side of their honorable discharge certificate. Any honorably dischargd veteran, whose prior service was in one cf the MOS numbers desired, will b.» eligible for enlistment in a grad' commensurate with his skill, to and including the grade which he held at the time of discharge, provided his discharge was effect ed on or after 12 May, 1945. Thos? with less than six months service in their MOS number will be en listed in the grade of Private. This offer of enlistment in grades commensurate with skill and training regardless of th? time elapsed since discharge will expire on 30 June, 1946. After 1 July, 1946, these specialists may be enlisted in such grades to which their MOS numbers entitl> them, provided their enlistment is accomplished within three months from the date of their discharge. For further information con cerning this offer, men interested thanks j should contact the local Army Re cruiting Station located at the lo cal Selective Service Board, Mc Cormick, S. C., every Monday. These men should be sure and have their MOS number available for checking against the list of desired specialists. TO SELL ’EM, TELL ’EM- With An Ad
