Job Benefits Continue While
You Hunt Work in Another State
By S. BURTON HEATH
WASHINGTON. (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

vice, but Mis. Quigley expects to
arrive in Union about September
1st for a visit with her family
here.

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

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.
