Teachers Not Now
Protected During
Summer Season
Raleigh, Mar. 14 North Caro,
lina teachers are not protected by
the State Unemployment Com
pensation Law and would not be
eligible for unemployment bene
fits during the three or four
months of school vacations in the
summer if they were subject to
the law, Charles G. Powell states,
replying to inquiries in recent
weeks.
Teachers are State employees'
and as such are classed with all
other employees of Federal, State,
county, municipal or other gov-j
ernmental agencies, as well as
agricultural or domestic workers
and a few smaller classes of
workers who are specifically ex
empted from the provisions of the
law. Even if they were included,
they would not be eligible for
benefits during the summer va
cation months because of an a
mendment to the State law, ad
opted in 1939, which provides for
“seasonal” employment, and spe
cifies that seasonal workers are
not eligible for benefits after the
season for their type of work
ends, but may draw benefits if
otherwise eligible, if unemploy
ed during the season, Mr. Powell
said.
Teachers are protected by the
Workman’p Compensation Law
and may draw benefits as the re
sult of loss of time from accidents
arising out of and in the course
of their work, Mr. Powell said,
adding that teachers may be
brought under the Unemployment
Compensation Law in the future,
though action of the General As
•**nbly.

BENEFITS PAID
RESIDENTS NOW
IN OTHERSTATES
Former N, C. Workers. Re
ceive Sum From State Un
employment Commission.
Raleigh, Mar. 14 Os the $13,-
217,637.70 in unemployment be
nefits paid by the State commis
aion through February 29, last
month, $217,187.56 was distributed
to former North Carolina work
ers through 43 other states in
which they were residing while
drawing benefits. Such workers
established wage credits while at
work in this State, later moved
to another state, became unem
ployed and filed claims and: were
paid benefits from this State.
No payments have been made
to former residents of this State
living in five states, Maine, Ne
braska, Nevada, Utah and Wyom
ing. nor in the territories of Alas
ka and Hawaii. Just about 1,900
checks have been issued tp resi
dents of the ether states and Dis
trict of Columbia. The states are
now all under the Interstate Ag
reement, by which the state of
residence acts as agent for the
liable state in handling claims for
compensation. Some of the states
were not ready to handle these
claims until last year, however.
The amount of benefits paid to
North Carolina residents who had
accumulated wage credits in oth
er states is not available now.
Soon the Unemployment Compen
stion Division of the Social Se
curity Board will have these fig
ures for all of the states.

hibiting a lively interest in the
1940 agricultural conservation
program, says H. E. Alphin, farm
agent of the State Colege Exten

Mind Your Mind
By JAMES WATSON, M. D.,
Division of Mental Hygiene,
State Welfare Department.
(Editor’s Note: This is the
first of a series of articles on
mental health which will be a
weekly feature of The Person
County Times each week. Any in
quiries relating to mental prob
lems may be addressed to Dr.
Watson in care of this paper.)
“It makes much difference
whese child it is.” This observa
tion was made during a discus
sion following an address in which
I had stated that one out of ev
ery 22 boys and girls now in Our
public schools will spend some
part of his or her life in a men
tal hospital.
That means that a million or
more children now in school will
someday be declared insane.
“Yet,” says Dr. Hineks of the Na
tional Committee for Mental Hy
giene, “at least one-half of all
mental illness could be prevented
if we acted in time.
Mentality is the highest attain
ment of the race. Using the word
. “mind” in the broadest sense, it
. is with the mind we love, think,
know, appreciate beauty, enjoy
life, worship God. To lose one’s
mind is life’s greatest tragedy!
The one child out of 22 who
is going to do this may be your
child, your grandchild, or your
neighbor’s child. Authorities say
that at least one-half of the mil
lion could be saved from this tra
gedy. Few people seem inclined,
however, to do much about it.

CROTALARIA
Harnett County farmers believe
in crotalaria, but they want only
the Striata strain, according to
Joe B. Gourley, assistant farm
agent of the State College -Ex
tension Service.
