UCC officials said Saturday. .
Opening of a new benefit year
July 1, 1947, automatically, closing
upwards of 40,000 claims filed
this year, will mark the start of
the new benefit and base year re
lationship. Claims during the
1947-8 benefit year will be based
orv workers' earnings during the
calendar year that ended Dec. 31,
1948. During the transition .per
iod claimants may draw twice
against earnings during the first
nine months of 1948, but employ
ers' accounts will be charged on
ly once. All benefit years here
after will start in July, eliminat
ing the year-end claims peak.
Reserve Ratios Lowered
Lowering of reserve ratios ne
cessary for reduced tax rates is
expected to save covered employ
ers nearly $1,000,000 a year. Be
ginning in 1948 s employers .will
need to accumulate only . 7' per
cent instead of 8 per cent of their
average annual pay roll in order
to qualify for rates lower than
the normal 2.7 per cent. To quali
fy for the lowest rate of 0.5 per
cent will require reserves of 13
per cent instead of the previous
14 per cent V
Increasing the maximum week
ly, benefit amount to $20 instead
of $18 is expected to coat the fund
about $150,000 a year, while elim
ination from benefits of workers
earning between $200 and $300
in their base years, will save the
fund about $63,000. j !
Disqualification Changes
Disqualifications of claimants
for failure to apply: for suitable
work, voluntary quitting miscon
duct, marriage or pregnancy will
be penalized by a flat period of
from four to eight weeks instead
of the. previous requirement of

job. Other changes include wid
ening of the "seasonal employe"
definition to cover -additional
workers employed in two of more
plants classified as seasonal; elim
ination of duplicate contributions
on wages ovet $3,000 a year paid

We sincerely believe that no car is more generally
satisfactory to its owners than a Pontiac
Year after year, Pontiac offers the fullest measure'
of qaality plos outstanding economy of,
operation and upkeep. It really leaves nothing
essential to be desired in performance, in com
fort or in handling ease. And, always, it is one
of the moirt htsmtijul cars to be seen on the
streets and highways. :
The 1947 Pontiac Silver Screak is an example
of what we mean. People who get it oeed envy
no one and the same will be true of those who
get their Pontiacj in 1948,. 1949 or 1930. Year
after year, Pontiac is a fine car in every respect.

t. tefore a man can produce much, he has to
have "tools. trucker can't haul very much
without a truck. A machinist can't make very
much without a lathe. A farmer can't grow
very much without land and equipment A mer
chant can't sell very much without a store.
4 Sine then, "tools"-per-man have more
than doubled; production-per-man has gone up
47, our average wage is about S306 per
month, and the working day is considerably
shorter. Of course, the employee doesn't get
everything the Company earns. A real incen

: either has to go into business for himself and
provide his own "tools" which takes money
or goto work for someone else who will pro
vide the "tools" for him. -Every man who goes
