More than one hundred guests

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.

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.
