(NEA) The 'computation of unemployment compensation benefits is not dif ficult in most states. It can be illustrated by refernce again to Indiana. Suppose you were to lose a war job in Indiana. During your base year you have earned $2456, of which $574 was in the first quarter, $649 in the second, $593 in the third and $640 in the final quarter. The total for the year exceeded $250 and wages for the last half exceeded $150. You are eligible for benefits. But how much? The highest earning in any quarter was $649, and 1-25 of that is $25.96. This exceeds the legal maximum, and therefore your benefit rate reverts to the maximum, $20. You can draw benefits up to 20 weeks, unless you find a job sooner. If you had earned less, you might re ceive less each week and for a shorter period. But suppose there is no other work for you in Indiana, or sup pose you had reason to believe your chances were better in, say Ohio. How can you report week ly in South Bend while hunting for a job in Akron? All the states, Alaska, Hawaii and the Dominion of Canada, have entered into an arrange ment to protect you in this re spect. Only the District of Co lumbia does not participate. Any state, through the nearest unem ployment compensation office, will accept your application for benefits, decide whether you are eligible, and transmit the record to the state where your rights were earned. You can report at the office acting as your agent. The United States employment service there will try to help you to find a new job. If it succeeds. the state paying your benefits will be notified. ,. Thus the necessity or desirabil ity of leaving the state whore your rights were earned will not prevent your drawing whatever benefits you have coming. A new compact has been ac cepted by many of the states, which will enable a worker to pool whatever credits he may have in two or more states and thereby establish unemployment compensation rights that he could not obtain from any one of the states in which he worked. The arrangement here is that a worker with wage credits in two or more states, but not sufficient in any to entitle him to benefits, can have his credits from various states pooled. In that event he family. Quigley is still in the ser vice, but Mis. Quigley expects to arrive in Union about September 1st for a visit with her family here.

These interstate arrangements are designed to make it easier for a worker to obtain his benefit rights and, in that way, to elim inate irritation that might create a demand for nationalization of the unemployment compensation system. They have the advantage at a New Bulletins Are Available Two new bulletins are now available at the office of the home demonstration agent in the postoffice building. "Dresses and Aprons for Work in the Home" FB 1963 contains work dresses and aprons designed by the cloth ing specialists of the bureau of home economics. Each garment is not only attractive and dur able, but also cool and comfort able, easy to wash and iron, and unusually safe to wear while working in the home. For most women who make dresses, the biggest problems arise in fitting, so the second bul letin is one that has been needed for a long while. It is "Fitting Dresses" FB 1964. Many differ ent problems encountered in fit ting dresses are explained by pic ture and sketches. woolens La Grande's Hotter mm .tuuM "'1 f no'.'1 time like that now in prospect, of enabling an unemployed worker to move about in search for a job or to return to the home he left when he went into war work without sacrificing such unem ployment compensation benefits as he may have earned. Since the U. S. employment service operates on a national basis, its office at which the worker applies can seek work for him just as well as the office in tlie town he left could have done.

Homeniakers Can Remove Definite Home Fire Hazards "Homemakers can remove def inite' fire hazards from the home by flameproofing cotton fabrics that may come in contact with fire," Says Miss Doris McWhor ter, Union county home demon stration agent. "Ironing board covers, kitchen curtains, cotton aprons are ex amples of items that can be easily flameproofed. ' The simplest method requires seven ounces of borax, three ounces of boric acid and .two quarts of hot water. Add a small amount of water to the boric acid to form a paste. Mix with the remainder of the hot water, then add borax and stir until dissolved and the solution is clear. The dry fabric to be flame proofed is dipped into this solu tion until thoroughly soaked. Wring the material free from wa ter and hang until dry. This pro cess will not make the article 100 percent fireproof but will make it resistant to fire and help prevent a fire from spreading if one is started.
