Aull, executive direct or of the South Carolina Employ ment Security Commission, said today that several major changes in the S. C. Unemployment Com pensation Law have been made by action of the 1961 General As sembly, and that these changes, embodied in three separate Acts, will have far-reaching effect on employers and unemployment in the State. Mr. Aull emphasized that the South Carolina Employ-t ment Security Commissioners, Ed H. Tatum, chairman, Robert S. Galloway, Sr., and Charlie V. Ver- ner, proposed and supported these changes. “The first of three Acts,” said Aull, “includes several amend ments to the State Law to bring it into conformity with changes made in the Federal Unemploy ment Tax Act, both to be effective on January 1, 1962. Most of these changes are minor in nature but a few will affect some employing units by including them under the provisions of the state law since they have already been included in the Federal program and will find it to their advantage to be cover ed by the State law in order to de rive the benefits of experience rating provisions. Examples of such affected units are Federal Land Banks and o. "*• instrumen talities of the United States, which are neither wholly nor par tially owned by the United States, and certain “feeder organiza tions” of non-profit organizations such as Church book stores.” V A second Act levies an increase in unemployment taxes paid by employers Whose turnover has been such that their released workers have been paid more in unemploy ment benefits than the employers have paid in, in unemployment taxes. Under the present law the maximum state tax levied is 2.7 percent and the amendment in creases that levy to a maximum of 4.1 percent levied on employ ment payrolls. The third and possibly most sig nificant Act provides for a change effective July 1, 1961, in the meth od of computation of the weekly benefit amount to be paid to eli gible claimants under the S. C. Unemployment Compensation law. The present maximum benefit a- mount is $26 and this Act chan ges the maximum to one-half of the average weekly wage in co vered employment in South Car olina, which would now give a maximum weekly benefit amount of $33. Up to the maximum des cribed in the foregoing, a claim ant's weekly benefit amount would be one-half of his average weekly wage in the quarter of his base period when his wages were the highest. (The base period is the first four of the last five comple ted calendar quarters.) This Act also changes the dis qualifications period imposed on claimants who are discharged for misconduct from one to 22 weeks (in the present law) to five to 22 weeks, and adds a disqualification for those claimants who voluntar ily retire from employment by re quiring such claimants to be fur ther employed before becoming el igible under the Law. This Act ateo makes it easier for a success or employer to terminate cover age. “Of interest to employers,” Mr. Aull said, “is a change in the me thod of computing the trigger ra tio for automatic tax increases, also included in this third Act. Under the present law such an automatic increase is invoked when the reserve fund drops below se ven percent of taxable wages. Un der the amendment, this automatic provision will be applied when the reserve fund drops below five per cent of total wages, and this is sounder provision for long range protection of the solvency of the Trust Fund.” IS INJURED IN ACCIDENT 1 Major D. O. Carpenter Jr., who is on leave of absence from the army to attend Clemson College this semester, was injured in an automobile accident near Clemson late Monday afternoon. He is a patient at Greenville General Hos pital. His condition is not consid ered to be .serious. Major Carp enter’s family lives in Governor’s Island, N. Y. He is the son of D. O. Carpen ter of Newberry. S. C. NATIONAL BANK DECLARES DIVIDEND A regular quarterly dividend of 25c per share payable on July 1 to shareholders of record on June 16, 1961, has been declared by the Directors of the South Carolina National Bank, according to an announcement today (Thursday) by W. W. McEachem, president. This dividend will be the 169th to be paid by the bank. S The May meeting of the Wo man^ Club of Newberry was held at the home of Mrs. C. M. Smith with the president, Mrs. A. J. Briggs, presiding. The club col lect was read in unison after which the business of the club was pre sented. Mrs. i Paul L. Grier was the speaker for the occasion and in a very dynamic and appealing man ner reviewed the book HAWAII by James A. Michener, which is currently on the best seller list of fiction. Mrs. Grier captivated her aud ience in giving the following ac count of the book: Hawaii is not only a great story but a notable literary achievement. It is a work of fiction, yet so true to the Spirit and the history of the Islands that it can properly be called the first major chronicle of the land and its people. The volcanic processes by which the Hawaiian Islands grew from the ocean floor were inconceivably slow, and they remained, undis covered and untouched by man, for countless centuries more until the Polynesians, little more than a thousand years ago, made the per ilous and incredible journey to their new home. Those passionate and beautiful people lived and flourished in the Islands accord ing to their ancient traditions and beliefs until, in the early nine teenth century, the American mis sionaries arrived, bringing a new creed and a new way of lif6 to a stone-age society. The impact of the coming of the missionaries had only begun to be absorbed when othpr national groups, with equal ly different customs — notably the Chinese, the Japanese and the Filipinos—began to migrate in great numbers to the Islands. The story of modern Hawaii, and of this book, is one of how disparate peoples, struggling to keep' their identity, yet live with each other in harmony, ultimately joined to gether to build a strong, vital fif tieth state. Concluding her program, Mrs. Grier showed color slides of the beautiful and picturesque state of Hawaii.
