Redetermination OF
Eligibility Made
For Compensation

The administrative office of the
Employment Security Commission
of Arizona this week is beginning
the redetermination for continued
eligibility of unemployment COM
ensation claim an is under the
amended Employment Security Act
of Arizona.
Claimants who have been filing
currently will be notified of their
status at the time they appear at
local offices to continue their
claims after July 1, said j. E.
Swope, Chief of Benefits of the
Unemployment Compensation Di-
vision of the Commission.
According to the amended Act
the amount and duration of bene-
fits of any individual who is in a
benefit year on July 1, 1947, shall
be recomputed and he shall be
paid the recomputed weekly bene-
fit amount for the unexpired
balance of his established benefit
year. Mr.. Swope pointed out that
the minimum amount of weekly
benefits payable under the amend
ed Act is $500 and the maximum
is $1,000. Any claimant determined
eligible under the amended provi-
Sions of the Act will be given an
award of twelve times his weekly
benefit amount, less the amount
paid under the old Act.
A claimant filing his first claim
on July 1, who is determined
eligible will be given an award
equal to II times his weekly bene-
fit amount and this award remains
available to the claimant for one
year from the filing of the first
claim. Any time within that year
when the claimant is unemployed,
able to work, available for work,
registers for work and files his
claim, he may draw against this
amount.
In general, any claimant to be
eligible under the amended Act.
must have had earnings within the
first four of the last five completed
calendar quarters of thirty times
his weekly benefit amount. The
weekly benefit amount is equal to
one-twentieth of the h highest
quarterly earnings% In addition,
worker must have had earnings
in two quarters within the first
four Of the last five completed
calendar quarters.
The check issued as a result of
any continued claim will be the
established weekly benefit amount
for the claimant, less the amount
of earnings in excess of $500. At
the time of filing a weekly claim
workers must report any earnings
during the seven-day period for
which the claim is filed, as the
Employment Security Act provides
penalties for failure to make prop
er declaration of earnings.

Material Leadership A Paramount
Requisite 4.---
I asked a private of the 93rd
Division, (Negro); to bring his
absentee ballot to my office so
that I could fill it out for him. He
asked me what was an absentee
ballot. told him what the ballot
was for. He advised me that his
great great grandfather never vot-
ed and that his grandfather nor
father never voted, so he was not
interested in voting. He further
advised me that voting was a
white. mans job Here, then; is
a serious affliction of the average
dixie bred Afro-American, that
can be cured, only, through
MATERIAL LEADERSHIP. 7 find

Handicapped by burdensome ex-
cess of spiritual leaders: In fact,
with us, one leg is sforted than it

impediment to- the material pro-

upon our spiritual advancement Gf
we can call it an advancenlent)
and too little upon our material
selves. Both our spiritual and
material selves; should be- brought
up to par. To accept one and re-
ject the other. is a true sign of a
backward people. Compare our

Progress;
Progressive races of America, in
addition to- their spiritual selves

the FORESTS and established towns

bored into the bowels of the earth
and brought forth precious mineral,
fuel, oils. gas; etc., etc. They have
grabbed and harnessed electricity

Hellow there, here and every
where. What can we talk about
that will be of interest to you.
Some of you may be interested in
policitics, some in travelling, vaca-
tions, etc., however I believe we
are all interested in the labor bill
and taxes, because on it hangs all
of our future success. Have you
been reading Westbrook Pegler's
column, the past week or so, where
he has been denouncing Henry
Wallace, because he at one time
was affiliated with Oriental re-
ligion and philosophers; one es-
pecially which was headed by
Nicolas Roerich. Wallace is called
dishonest a sneak and coward
because he doesn't affirm nor
deny Pegler's accusations. Pegler
seems to think he should stand on
the White House steps and tell
the world his Faith or Spiritual
belief. I don't believe the world
is interested in all that "marlargy"
now, no one except "the" Pegler.
After all Wallace isn't preacher
nor teacher, he is a politician"
In my opinion such guys as Pegler,
Bilbo, Talmadge and many others
should be sent to school of in
struction and taught there is no
race except the human race, which
eats, breathes, drinks and sleeps.
When these fail to function we are
soon gone back to dust, from
which we all came. No Superior,
except God. We, each of us have a
right to our own thoughts and
beliefs. What is sane to one may
be folish to another. We live and
learn. How often have you thought
of some simple, foolish things you
have done or thought or said in
the past. After you have become
older or time has passed, you
wondered why. Have you ever
found the answer? haven't. We
learn to profit by our mistakes.
It is often good to listen to advice
whether you heed it or not, it
may come in handy in later years.
Don't forget to do a good deed
each day, and spread SUNSHINE
in every way.

Show me an Algebraic, Geometric
or a Trigonomic problem to be
solved in conducting a church,

valuable time on what we shall

and not enough on what we will
eat, drink and wear, here on earth.
This, in itself, is morbid illusion

Such a program Is the only
