ing money for nothing ar© doom
ed to disappointment.
After a person gets out of a job
through no fault of his own he

port weekly while out of a job.
If th© service is able to place him
on a job and he refuses the job
he will draw no unemployment
compensation cheek.
Payments cannot start, how
ever, until after the third week
In January. The act requires a
waiting period of two weeks, aft
er the -worker has reported to
hie local . employment office that
he is out of^vrork. Ho must con

Thursday by conducting a chapel

Much to the delight of the A-

the few Posts in the State that
had achieved th© distinction of
having enrolled their quota’ of
members for 1938 and also to
exceed their 1937 membership on
Armistice Day. This announce
ment was made over a five sta

where Btat© Uommander Hector
Blackwell addressed the Armis
tice Day banquet of- the Wilson
Legionalres. The local Post has
already enrolled 73 members for
next year, which is 'four more
than their 1937 meinbtsrship aihd •‘
eight more than their quota.
The membership contest, which
came to a close with the Armis-
ttee Day dinner, •was won by the.
