Unemployment In State

Up to September 80 the Maryland
Unemployment Compensation Board
had received a total of 1887 orig
inal claims for unemployment bene-
fits through it's unemployment Of
fees ON the Eastern Shore, which
includes nine counties. These claims,
covering nine months operation of
the Claims section of the Board,
were divided among the four Offices
as follows: Cambridge, 6,357; Sal
isbury. 1871; Chestertown, 2,433:
Elkton, 76.
OF the aggregate of 1887 there
were 1,1O1 claims for partial unem-
ployment, a claim not recognized
by the laws of some of the States
now paying benefits. The nine East
ern Shore counties have 873 liable
employers.
In Western Maryland the three
most important employment offices
of the Employment Division of the
Board sent an aggregate of 37,7S4
claims in the nine months period
6,433 being for partical unemploy-
ment only. These claims were divid-
ed among local Offices os follows:
Cumberland, 24,833; HagerstOwn,
1874; Frederick, 5,627.
The four counties served by these
offices have 1902 liable employers.
All of these claims, of course,
were not valid. In the first months
of the Claims sections work about
third of all claims presented had
to be rejected. Now a much small
er proportion lack validity under the
law.

Resident Waylaid And
Robbed
Francis Kennard "Slugeed"
By Unknown Assailant And
Relieved Of Wallet

A crime wave seems to be running
rampant over this section. Numerous
auto thefts and other robberies have
occurred in and about Rising Sun the
past two weeks, and one Of our cit
izens was waylaid and robbed at his
Mace of business on Thursday night
last.
Francis Kennard, who operates a
feed grinding mill at Main and Wal
nut streets here, was the victim of
a bold holdup on Thursday night
last. about nine O'Clock. After at
tending the dinner meeting OF the
Lions Club, earlier in the evening,
Mr.. Kennard went to the mill to see
that everything was OK. After his
round of inspection, as he stepped
out on the porch before locking the
door, some unknown person struck
him a blown on the head Knocking
him down and rendering him un-
conciOus.
When he regained consciousness
he discovered his pocketbook, con-
tanning about $40, had been stolen.
No clue has been obtained as to
who the assailant was, and 1t is an
other one of the unsolved robberies
that have been of frequent occur
renee recently.

Additional Judge For Cecil
County

One of the constitutional amend
ments to appear on the General
Election ballot on November 9Th,
will be one providing for an addi-
tional Judge in the Second Judicial
Circuit, who shall be a resident OF
Cecil County. In asking the aid OF
voters the Cecil County Bar Asso-
citation calls attention to the fact
that there are five Counties: Cecil,
Kent, Queen Anne's, Talbot and
Caroline in the Circuit, TOR which
only three Judges were provided by
the constitution of 1867, one of
whom, the Chief Judge, must spend
much time in the Court of Appeals.
AS result, the other two Judges
have very little time to spend in any
one County, and litigation is often
delayed by this Eastern Shore circuit
for many months.
The Bar Association also points
out the fact that Cecil County is
the largest County of the five and
that it lies to the north and nearest
Judge now is fifty miles away, with
no transportation available but auto
mobiles, requiring one hundred
miles trip for litigents to reach a
Judge for the signing of Court
orders.
The need of resident Judge in
Cecil county is apparent, and it Is
believed the appeal of the Bar AS
ISOLATION will find favor with voters
regardless of party affiliation.
