'' •‘While more benefits were
paid in May than In April, fewer
taltial claims for benefits were
receiyed during May than In the
preceding month. General con
clusions ere difficult, however,
because of the wide yariation
ferom this general trend occurring
In the indlyldual States,” Mr.
Spruill said.
The total an%iunt of benefits
paid in ail 85 States during May
was more than 3 per cent above
, -the amount paid in April, but 17
states reported decreases, the
largest occurring in Pennsylvan
ia, Vermont, Oregon. Connecticut,
and Rhode Island. Factors re-
aponsible for the decrease In some
States were fewer lay-offs in the

preceding weeks, some seasonal
reemployment, and exhaustion of
wage credits of workers who had
been f^elving benefits.
The Increase in total payments
during May was due In part to
the larger number of benefit
checks issued by Indiana and Mis
sissippi. which began making pay
ments only in the latter part of
April. In addition. New York,
Maine, Alabama. North Carolina,
Louisiana, and Maryland showed
substantial increases in paymcpts
during the month.
The number of initial claims
for unemployment benefits filed
during May was 732,696, a de
crease of 12,367 from the total
reported for the preceding month.
In some States, however, the
number of initial claims filed in
creased considerably. These in
cluded New Hempshlre, Indiana,
Rhode Island, Virginia, 'Wiscon
sin, New York, Pennsylvania, and
Oregon. In the three latter states,
the Increases were accounted for
primarily by claims of workers
whose benefit rights were rede
termined with the accrual of an
other quarter of wage credits
upon which benefits could be
based.
"These figures are summarized
from telegraphic reports submit
ted by the State unemployment
compensation agencies, to the
Social Security Board," stated
Mr. Spruill.

as well as those who in the fu
ture make application for licens

now doing business in North Car
olina numbers approximately 5,-

The purpose of the- Wasser-
mann Test requirement is not on
ly to protect the public but also
for the protection of the workers,
as well, it was explained follow
ing the conference. This forward
atti’ude on the part of the Board
of Cosmetic Arts Examiners is in

Oliver, Rural Rehabilitation Sup
ervisor of the Farm Security-Ad
ministration. •* -:
The check foT the purchaM of
n 157 acre tract in Somers town
ship, was delivered June 30, fat
the purchase price of the farm
and additional funds for placing
the farm and its buildings in
first class condition. The' loan
was made for a term of 40 years,
at three per cent Interest, with
no down payment. ' Subsequent
paym-ants are to be made an-
nnally, or semi-annually.
Baker has a wife and five
.children, a native Wilkes citizen,
I but had never before owned a
[ farm until the present system of
j government lending made it pos
sible. Seven other loaiu have
i been made, in Wilkes county up
‘to the end of the fiscal year
which ended July first, Mr. Oliver
said. Approval of applicants for
loans and farms to be purchased
must be made by a county com
mittee, the Wilkes county com
mittee being composed of J. M.
German, of Boomer, chairman,
Tom Ferguson, of Ferguson, and
Lonnie G. Billings, of Dockery.
The man and his family must
pass a rigid physical examination,
in addition to other requirements,
to determine their fitness as a
financial risk.
Loans the last year have been
limited to 17 counties in the
state where it was considered
good farms could be had at fair
cost. Mr. Oliver said, and where
a high degree of tenancy was
found North Carolina is a unit

Group loana ere made to enable
small gcoopa of farmers to buy
heavy farm machinery, pnre-bred

the individual farmer could not
otherwise buy. As In the case of
Mr. Baker, tenant purchase loans
help farm tenants to become own
ers. "Money to buy farms Is lim
ited at present to a few counties
In each state." Mr. Oliver said,
“and not to more than 10 ten
ants In any one county, but the
appropriation by Congress of ad
ditional money will probably per
