Changes In
Compensation
Law Announced
Keith R. 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.”

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

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.

This is certainly true, especially when you se
cure a long term Home Loan. There are many
plans today which carry hidden charges. Many
plans will not permit you to pay installments
in advance, which cost you more interest. On
our plan you may pay any amount at any time
over the regular monthly installment. This will
save youinterest, will reduce the principal and
will pay the loan in advance, thus, permitting
you to skip a payment during financial stress.
Don’t sign any loan papers until you have seen
ours.
