On Job Training
Change Explained

Many inquiries have been made
concerning the recent announce
ment by the Toledo office of the
Veterans Administration in re-
gard to the cessation of super
vision of ex-Gis in job-training
and profit trade schools.
This newspaper has been in
formed that the new orders do in
no way keep veterans from OBJ
tanning all the on-the-job training
and schooling benefits to which
they are entitled under the CT Bill
of Rights. 1t has been explained
that the only change has been in
that whereas formerly the veteran
submitted monthly reports, the
employer or school will now sub
nit a report every four months
concerning the veterans progress.
The veteran may still request on
job training or schooling, or cor
respondence schooling. He may
also request a supplemental GER
tiicate for additional training
when his training has been in
terrupted.
1t was stressed that this alb
sence of direct supervision will
cause no difficulties in that en-
ployers or school heads are now
responsible for the reporting of
withdrawals from training. In ad-
dition, the veteran is now request
ed to contact the Veterans Ad-
ministration representative sent
out from the Toledo Office to the
Ohio State Employment office in
Port Clinton each Friday from l
to 3:45 p. m. on this and any
matter pertaining to benefits and
information to veterans and their
benefciaries.

feated Grover Cleveland for the
presidency in 1888 and in 1892 was
in turn defeated by him.

came an international lawyer OF

To Work 20 Weeks
Gain Benefits

COLUMBUS - An unemployed
person is not eligible to collect
benefits if he has worked in less
than 20 weeks and earned less than
$3.50 in a legally defined period
prior to the filing of his claim,
the Board of Review of the Bu-
reau of Unemployment Compen-
sation ruled today.
In two unanimous decisions, in
volving Elyria and Columbus
workers respectively, the Board
upheld previous rulings of the ad-
ministrator under which the
claimants had been found lacking
the minimum work requirements
during their base periods.
The base period-as defined by
LAWS the first four of the last
five calendar quarters of employ
ment Immediately prior to the
fling of a valid claim for bene-
fits. For example, the base period
of worker who files claim as
of Monday, April II, 1949, would
run from January 1, 194S, to De-
cember a&I949, inclusive.
In the &yria case, the claim
ant had earned the $16O minimum
in his base period but had work.
cd in employment covered by the
Ohio Unemployment Compensa-
ton Law in only ten weeks during
that period. Inasmuch as 20 weeks
is the minimum under the current
| Law, the claimant was declared
ineligible to draw benefits.
In the Columbus case, the
worker had likewise earned the
$50 minimum but the Board
found that he had been employed
in only 1S weeks. during his base
period. His claim was therefore
disallowed on the same promise.

Monaco drew first blood in the
l94S-49 Basketball Championship
.playoffs. The hard fought but
clean game was played in Monaco
befor a large out -of4town crowd,
The game between Canton and
Monaco was a thriller all the way
as 1.-THE score. by quarters indicated ::
1913; n:22; 1882; 40 AS. Both
teams showed signs of being over
anxious. Monacas pass work was
not as good as usual, with Canton
'ntercepting many wild heaves.
Jack Workman was off his
usual form until shortly before
his leaving via the route in the
fourth quarter with five minutes
to go m the game. .Monaca's attack
failed to bog down after the loss
OF Werthman. With Werthman
out of game, the Canton defense
moved out ITO rush the ball more
and Monaco capitalized on this
move by making several sucker
shots in the last three minutes to
ice the game.
The lack of height on Cantons
starting FIVE seriously hampered
them. Along with the fact that
the other half of Canton "Hot
Shot Twins" couldn't find the
range on either hoop, meant the
difference between the two teams.
Henry Kotsch of Canton was
the big gun of the evening fo'
either team, netting 8 field goals
and I free throws for total of
q points. Jack Werthman was
second high with 7 field goals and
6 free throws for total of 20 pts.
This Saturday night. the two
teams will meet again in what
promises to be another thriller, at
