WOMEN HERE TO STAY
Why Be Embarrassed With
Girl Babies? We Need 'Em
; . By ARTHUR ED SON
, Washington, Dec. 9 W) What's the matter with girls?
: 'Why is it that when girl babies are born,, the average con
"gratulator congratulates as if he really didn't mean it? And why
is it that the proud father sometimes acts as if he were embar
rassed about it all? r
: Theres no reason for this. I
;i have wound up a little research
.j project, and can faithfully re
i port: Women are here to stay.
J -Hight now there are 800,000
4 more females (a census bureau
3 iword, not mine) than males In
the U.S.
: j ' Eight women are In the house
! -of representatives, and a ninth
i 'will join them in January.

to be a senator too.
Mrs. Smith has said she thinks
It would be nice for the Re
publicans to run a woman for
vice-president. She was too shy
to mention names, but I don't
dhink she meant Mrs. Alben W.
Markley.
j Women fill all sorts of lesser
Tiosts. They are truckers, glass-
blowers, cops, printers, mail car
riers, tanners, steamfitters, em

'boys.
i ! Look, where we'd be if there
4 : were no women,

this year. Two stands will be
in operation, one at Keizer Cor
ner and one in the vicinity of
Orcutt's grocery. They antici
pate they will set up the stands
and start selling trees next Sunday.
Rise in Unemployed Whose
Jobless Benefits Used Up
Washington. Dec. 9 W) A rapid rise in the number of unem
ployed workers exhausting jobless benefit rights is causing grow
ing concern among government officials.
Latest figures compiled by the lanor departments bureau of
employment security show about 000,000 persons ran out of
their rights to further unem-
ployment payments during the
July-September quarterly period.
These are workers who still
didn't have jobs after running
through all the unemployment
insurance they were entitled to.
The number of weeks of bene
fits varies from state to state,
These exhaustions came at a
time of high employment, and
give an idea of the problem that
would arise in a time of serious
unemployment. 1
Employment has been gaining
lately, and unemployment has
been decreasing, so some of the
people out of work in the July
September period may now have
found jobs. However, unem
ploment in November was esti
mated by the census bureau to
be 3,409,000 as compared with
1,831,000 in November 1948.
The November 1949 employment
figure was 59,518,000.
The exhaustion figures have
risen rapidly this year. In 1948
they ran between 200,000 and
250,000 each quarter for the na
tion. This year they jumped to
369,000 for the January-March
quarter, 423,000 for April-June,
and now to 500,000 for the most
recent quarter.
That 500,000 figure Is more
than double the 216,000 exhaus
tions of the July-September
quarter of a year ago.
The big question is this: what
happens to workers once they
run through all their jobless in
surance benefits? The bureau
of employment security has ask
ed state employment offices to
try to find out.
One thing is very certain
however. To the extent these
workers were receiving unem
ployment aid, purchasing power
is cut when their payments come
to an end.
Officials believe a great many
such workers go on direct re
lief. A substantial number go
to live with relatives or friends.
The real solution for such idle
workers, of course, would be to
find a job and go to work. But
since state employment agencies
were trying to find them jobs
all the time they were receiving
jobless benefits, their chances of
finding jobs once the benefits
cease are not too bright.
Welfare Funds
Meet Approval
Dallas Total of $35,350 In
assistance was approved for the
January budget of the Polk
county welfare commission at
its December meeting, according
to Mrs. Mabel Dalo, administra
tor.' The amount was divided as
follows: Old age assistance (398
cases) $20,000; aid to dependent
children (72 cases) $7500; blind
assistance (five cases) $350; gen
eral assistance (200 cases)
$7500.
Fifteen new old-age assistance
cases vere approved, three were
denied and two were withdrawn
Of the aid to dependent children
cases, 10 were approved which
will cost a total of $903 month
ly.
The administrator reported to
the commission that unemployed
men were requesting assistance
in increasing numbers. During
November 66 new general as
sistance applications were tak
en. General assistance funds are
not sufficient to meet the needs
of unemployed "employables"
on general assistance standards.
Due to the heavy demand on
this fund, it has been necessary
to give food orders in $5 and
$10 amounts.
The unemployed employable
man who has had seasonal work
is not covered by unemployment
compensation.
The welfare office has ad-
