A BEAUTIFUL LASTING Gift for Your Valentine W. Matejka, Jeweler First Street —— _ Coquille Insured unemployed workers in Coos and Curry counties received $46,894.60 from the state unemploy ment compensation commission dur ing January. This was 9.3 per cent of the state total of $506,035. Distribution of benefit checks and comparison of the claim load and new applications for jobs reflects the gen eral improvement in Oregon employ ment conditions over January, 1938, it was pointed out. The state total for benefit checks during the month was less than the amount disbursed last June and but slightly greater than totals for July and August, during which seasonal conditions for work in Oregon are near the peak. Aggregate new, original and con tinued claims, handled by the Marsh field offfice are running about 600 per week less than a year ago and new applications for jobs are only one-third as numerous, analysis of commission records shows.

Sack M.29 Dillard Market New Sound At The Liberty Friday “BLONDIE” IN NEW FAMILY FILM SERIES The Bumsteads—Blondie, Dagwood and Baby Dumpling—are in the movies! The popular characters of Chic Young’s famous comic strip will be seen in Columbia’s “Blondie,” first of a projected new series, start ing Friday at the Liberty Theatre. Portraying Blondie is Penny Sin gleton, vivacious young musical comedy star of “Good News,” “Fol low Through” and “Hey Nonny Nonny.” Dagwood’s role is taken by Arthur Lake, an old hand at por traying <3>mic strip characters, whose most notable role previously was “Harold Teen.” Seen as Baby'Dump- ling is four-year-old Larry Simms, a screen newcomer whose present major distinction is that he’s the liv ing image of his comic strip counter part. “Blondie” takes the Bumsteads over the well-known bumps, both fi nancial and domestic. The compli cations are satisfactorily ironed out, however, and peace reigns again in the happy household. This after Dagwood spends a night in jail, Blondie wrestles with the suspicion of "another woman” and Baby Dumpling adds a touch of mischief here and there to confuse the hectic goings-on. Directed by Frank Strayer, of “Jones Family” fame, "Blondie” was adapted to the screen by Richard i Flournoy. Besides the principals, the cast features Danny Mummert, Gor don Oliver, Dorothy Moore, Ann Dor- I an, Richard Fiske and Jonathan Hale.
