Plan To Enlarge
Recreational Work
WPA Recreational Leadership
VIII Meet In This
City Next Wednesday

A planning committee, organized
to enlarge the scope of PWA recrea-
tional work in this city, met Tues
day evening to formulate early
plans for a more broadened pro-
gram, Clarence Dickinson, recrea-
tional leader, said this week.
The committee, composed of E.
w. Olson, Ed Besser, Mrs. Harry
Knapp and Vern Soltau, will meet
again shortly to elect officers and
to formulate more definitely the
program. Primary in the program
will be a step to include older age
groups in the local setup, to inter
est older people in such things as
whist tournaments, Switchboard.
Now organized on a community
wide basis, the committee will form
ulate the plans. WPA leaders
Clarence Dickinson and Ray Steir
will manage the actual program
Mr.. Dickinson explained that up to
now only younger groups had been
included in the program.
Members of the WPA recreation
al leadership group in this district
will meet in this city next week
Wednesday, announced Mr.. Dickin-
son, at the Club Rooms. The meet
ing is another in a series of instruc-
ton courses, through which the

in the program. Leaders from a
number of towns in this vicinity
will be present.

Duck Hunters Get

Large Pickerel and Graphic

If duckers don't get ducks-well,

Gallup had a double header fish
ing trip-out hunting.
Sunday when the two had a bad
day Of hunting on Swan Lake, they
retreated to the shore, to give up
the hunt. Suddenly they spied a
fish threshing about on top Of the
water. They rowed to the spot,
Gallup inserted q finger neatly In
the gills and popped into the boat
a 6-pound Northern Pike.
But stick around, that's only half
the tale.
Lo and behold when the fish was
safely in the boat, 1t was noted he
was drowning because he had tried
to swallow a crappie too large. The
crappie was lodged in his mouth,
it's fins extended, so that the larger
one could neither swallow or dis
charge the smaller.
ION all the fishing trips I've been
on, this tops everything I've seen."

Jobless Benefits Cease To
Come If Worker Is Absent
Report of Continued
Unemployment Must Be
Made Each Week

Jobless workers receiving unem-
ployment compensation must report
their continued unemployment each
week to maintain their eligibility
for the receipt of benefits.
This basic requirement of the I'M
employment compensation law Is
stressed by Frank T. Starkey, In
dustrial Commissioner in charge of
the state unemployment compen-
sation division.
mo benefits can be paid for any
week Of unemployment unless the
claimant has properly reported his
continued unemployment for that
week, thereby maintaining his eligi-
bility," Commissioner Starkey stat
ed. Most claimants are aware of
this simple requirement of the law,
but those who are not and COM
plain when their benefit checks
cease to come cause needless work
on the part Of our adjustment de-
partment.
1.-THE amount of benefits deter
mined to be due to an unemployed
worker can be paid him only II he
maintains his eligibility. Those
claimants who fail to report their
continued unemployment are as
sumed to have ceased to expect
benefits and the issuance Of checks
to them is stopped until they again
establish their eligibility"

Wheat Acreage Allotment

The wheat acreage allotment pro-

of which is to bring wheat produc-

county AAA chairman. Acreage al
lotments through which farmers
can stabilize their wheat acreage
will be announced for farmers in
Stearns county soon.
1.-THE ever-normal granary Is not
an adjustment measure" says Mr..
Miller. 'Tt is a desirable supply
situation, which is attained through
the operation by farmers Of a SER
les Of measures. It merely means
stabilizing the, supply Of wheat at
levels high enough to meet our
domestic and export requirements
and leave a margin of safety
against years of short crops. BY
stablizing the supply on the mar
ket, the price can be stabilized.
Acreage allotments enable grow
ers to keep seedlings down to re-
quirements, and lessen the drain on
soil fertility and moisture reserves
in the ground. Wheat loans help
growers to keep SURPRISES already
produced Off the market and still
meet their requirements for ready
cash.
Crop insurance helps stabilize
supplies by putting aside part OF
the crop to meet future shortages
due to crop failure. When the ev-
er-normal granary runs over and
supplies on the market get out OF
hand, and after certain specified
levels of supply have been reached,
wheat growers may apportion the
market through marketing quotas,

This committee was appointed
because fear was expressed in some
circles that the government might
