Unemployment
Still on Increase
In Union County
Trend Here Conforms
To Rest of State.
BUG Manager Reports

Unemployment claims in Union
County for the month of May and
the first two weeks of June show
ed an increase over April and
March, according to figures re-
leased today by Carl Rogers
manager of the Marysville office
of the Ohio State Employment
Service.
AS an example, the average
weekly number of claims for
March under the Ohio Unemploy-
ment law was 73, with S. r A,
or servicemen'S claims. In April
the average weekly number of
Ohio claims showed a drop from
n to 81.
In May the layoff at the Eljer
Company caused a jump in the
number of claims, from 80 in the
third week of May to 222 claims
the week of the layoff.
Although the number of claim
entS has dropped considerably
from this peak, it is still running
relatively high as 162 claims were
handled then. This level has con-
tinued through June according to
the record of the Marysville Of
flee.
The rise in unemployment
which is contrary to the normal
seasonal pattern, is on state
wide scale. Workers in almost all
major industries have been hit
but the drop in employment
throughout the state.
In Ohio as a whole the unem-
ployment claims show l4l per-
cent increase over May, 1948.
This is the seventh consecutive
month that the total number of
claifs filed in the state office has
been ahead of the previous
Although the employment SER
vice records show an increase in
the number of placements for un-
employed persons, most of these
jobs were in the non-manufact-
uring industries, railroads, con-
work, and private
househlds.

Bike Route Urged
For Kids to Pool

Parents of Marysville children
are requested, by the Municipal
Swimming Pool Board, to have
their children use the special
route for bicycles and pedestrians
when going to and from the Pool.
This route is out w. Fourth st.
to Grand ave., north on Grand
ave. about halfway back the
\street, then over to Park ave. and
THE Pool. 1t was designed espec-
Tally to help youngsters and Pc
{destrians avoid the heavy W..
Fifth st. traffic
"The State Highway Depart
ment has been very fine in in
stalling traffic light for us at
the entrance to Park ave., which
we are confident will help the
traffic situation on w. Fifth st.
materially" Pool Manager Frank
w. Galloway said. However, it
is still safer for the kjddies to use
the bicycle and pedestrian route
to avoid Fifth st. traffic alto
gether, and that's what we hope
they do.
''That is whi we are appealing
to all parent to instruct their
children to follow. the sign mark
ers for bicycles and pedestrians to
the Pool"

Weiss Aircoolinq
Installed, But

If, while shopping in the Weiss
Brothers Departments store this
week, you overheard the clerks
discussing the advisability of car
rying umbrellas, they weren't
worried about a leak in the roof.
They were only victims of one
of the many difficulties that
arose from the installation of the
stores new air conditioning sys-
tenn.
You can take it from Nelson
Weiss, more is involved in the
installation of such a system than
the connection of a few gadgetS
and the turning of a dial.
The new system was to be in
operation in the store on June 8
but, in spite of the fact that it
was promptly installed by the
B e. G. Electric Service and all
the necessary connections made
by Winton Squirting, local con-
tractor, many unseen difficulties
were to arise and delay opening.
First of all, Mr.. Weiss dis
covered that the current in his
store was not the right kind to
operate the machine. He had to
get a special work order from
the Dayton Power and Light
Company and this held up pro-
gress for a week. Then, he found
that the water lines running in
to the store were adequate to
operate only one of the two units
at time.
The main in front of the store
was dug up and it was found that
at some time in the past the con-
nection at the main had been
partially turned off and the pipe
into his store had corroded. A
new pipe was installed.
This was, Mr.. Weiss thought,
all that could possible go amiss.
He was wrong.
A water line broke in the air
