Get Waste Paper
Ready For Collection
This Saturday Morn

Saturday morning the collection
of waste paper will be made in a
one-day drive in South and West
Coolidge areas Cardboard boxes
and all kinds of paper are needed
for vital war packing and other
military uses. "The need will
probably be greater than ever now
that the war in Asia is coming to
the fore in the plans of the United
Nations and tremendous quantities
must be shipped great distances
over vast sea areas" said Glenn
Wilson today Waste paper can
be shipped only in carload lots and
we are determined that Coolidge
shall be able to fill a railroad car
by October 1st. All people are
asked to tie their waste paper into
bundles and have it ready for col
lection" continued Wilson. paper
that is not collected will become
just fire hazard and a storage
problem while paper that goes into
this Coolidge carload will perform
real service to our country in
helping to bring world wide victory
nearer"

Say to laborer on the street,
That he had letter just last week,
Written in the finest Greek, -
From a Chinese coolie in Timbuc-

Who said the niggers in Cuba

OF a colored man in a Texas town,
Who got it straight from a circus

That a man in Klondike heard the

From a gang of South American

About somebody in Borneo,
Who heard a man who claimed To

OF a swell society female rake,
To prove that her seventh hus-

Whose mother-in-law will under

Has stated in a printed piece,
That she has a son who has a

Who knows when the war is going

This Year More
Children Heed
School Bells
All schools except Coolidge
elementary show gain in
Coolidge-Florence district.

In both the Coolidge and Flor
ence high and elementary school
districts, all schools report a gain
in attendance this opening week
over last year, with the exception
of the Coolidge Elementary school.
Here is how the schools in these
districts compare in attendance with
last year: Coolidge high school
1876 against ITS in 1943; Florence
high school, 14S compared with
120; Florence elementary, 375 VS.
$50; Mcdowell school, 85 as against
Is; Kenilworth school, 10 COM
pared with $50 in 1943.
The only school to show a loss
in attendance this year is the Cool
idge elementary, which incidently
has the largest number of pupils
in these school districts. The en-
rollment on this opening week is
only 599 as compared with 65S last
year.
Mr.. w. D. Kirby, principal of the
Coolidge elementary school, when
questioned about this drop In at
tendance, pointed out that the
school opened earlier this year and
that many cotton picking families
were probably already in the school
district last year at school opening.
He remarked that, when the cotton
picking season was at its height
last year, the attendance in his
school was more than 500.
''If we have German prisoners of
war this year to pick cotton in place
of our own migratory cotton pick
ers who probably will not be avail
able in sufficient numbers, we can
not look for any further gain in en-
rollment," said Kirby. 81 believe
that another factor accounting for
the dvop i1l- our attendance in Cool
idge elementary school is the num-
ber Of officers and soldiers from
the airport and from Florence who
are living here now in houses that
would normally be occupied with
families"

G.I. Bill Of
Rights IsNow
In0peration
Mrs. Hope Taylor of Cool
lidge u. S. Employment
Service attends Phoenix
meeting.

Operation of the program for vet
erans readjustment allowances dur
! ing periods of unemployment, as
provided in the Readjustment Act
of 1914, commonly known as the
&c. |. Bill of Rights" became ef-
fective Monday, September 4.
Mrs. Hope Taylor, manager of
the Coolidge office of United States
Employment Service, who attended
conference in Phoenix last week
for the purpose of getting instruc-
tion on procedures for carrying out
the program, states that her office
is now ready to give applying vet
erans every assistance in obtaining
the benefits to which they are en-
titled. She stressed the point that
veterans so applying will be given
full information concerning their
Readjustment Allowance rights and
that their applications will be pro-
cessed with the very least possible
delay. All veterans applying should
be sure to bring with them their
discharge papers which must be
presented when filing claims for
readjustment allowances. All claims
for readjustment allowances are 10
be filed at United States Employ
ment Service offices.
At the conference, Bruce Parkin-
son, State Director of the Unem-
ployment Compensation Division of
the Employment Security Commits
sion, who had just returned from
conference of ESQ state directors
in Salt Lake City, outlined pro-
cedures for the handling of read
justment allowances for veterans
during periods of unemployment;
and Ed Blake, NC Chief of Bene-
fits, explained in detail the claims
taking process. This will not be
essentially different, Mrs. Taylor
said, from that used in handling
claims for state unemployment
compensation benefits. 1t is believ-
ed by those familiar with present
conditions that the load of applica-
tions for readjustment allowances
will not be heavy at this time, but
the machinery will be ready for
handling promptly any such appli-
cations as are filed.
Mrs. Taylor stressed the point
that every attention will be given
at local USES offices to the veter-
ans who apply there and that they
will be given full information as to
their readjustment allowance bene-
fit rights, and their applications
will be handled as promptly as pos
sible.
Robert D. Kendall, State Man
power Director, Mrs. Taylor said,
has just been in conference at San
Francisco where the administrative
details of the claims taking pro-
cedures were determined as they
are to be carried out by USES Of
fices.

vice: Discover first what it is
that men in the particular field to
which your present is to be sent
want. next pack it securely. Mail
sent long distances under present
conditions takes a terrible punish
ment. Make the package about
shoe box size but don't try to

it is all apart and its contents
