Huiet Gives Figures
On Unemployment
Insurance Fund
Commissioner of Labor Ben T.
Huiet announced today that unem
ployment insurance paid under the
State Unemployment Compensation
law passed the $13,000,000 mark at
the end of May, while the Unemploy
ment Trust Fund contained some
$34,700,000 for this exclusive pur
pose.
Payments for the month, he said,
amounted to $412,176 and brought
the total for the first five months of
1942 to $2,381,480, or within ap
proximately $700,000 of the total
amount paid out in 1941.
He attributed the high volume of
payments this year to the unemploy
ment of workers resulting from pri
orities, plant conversion and season
al shutdowns, and a substantial in
crease in the average size of weekly
payments due to liberalization of
1 benefits by the last Legislature. Pay
ments have averaged about $8.96
this year. A considerable number
of workers, he explained, qualified
for almost the maximum weekly
amount of $lB and received benefit
checks for almost the maximum du
ration of 16 weeks.
Commissioner Huiet said less ini
tial claims for benefits were filed by
workers in May than in any month
in the history of the State Bureau.
The total was reported at 4,864, as
compared with a previous low of
5,283 in September of 1941. Contin
ued claims at 43,125 were the low
est since December of last year.
By industry divisions, payments
for the month were as follows:
Manufacturing $211,901.50
Construction 81,992.00
Trade 77,115.00
Transportation and
Communication— 18,051.00
Service 14,387.00
Finance 6,204.00
Agriculture 1,356.00
Mining 1,170.00

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY, GEORGIA
Many States Are
Confronted With
Teacher Shortage
Georgia i% not the only state har
assed by a school teacher shortage,
despite the fact that almost 50 per
cent of its teachers have left the
system in the past year. State Schpol
Superintendent M. D. Collins said
this week.
Neighboring Alabama, Dr. Collins
said, reports that 3,461 teachers, or
24.5 per cent of the total personnel
in that state left their positions dur
ing the past 12 months. Os that
number, 948 left to teach elsewhere,
347 went into military service, 557
entered defense work, and 1,628
left for other reasons.
A similar report from Arkansas
disclosed that 1,745 teachers had
been lost over a 12-month period.
Kentucky reported that 3,897 had
withdrawn from teaching. 1,351 to
go into the Army. Texas, Collins
said, is confronted with a shortage of
approximately 2,000 teachers, while
Mississippi has suffered a 25 per
cent loss.
“Georgia statistics show that
slightly more than 50 per cent of
those quitting jobs are college grad
uates, indicating that the best talent
is being drained off,” Dr. Collins
said. “This is true also of Alabama,
where 61.5 per cent of the teachers
who left were college graduates.”
J. I. Allman, assistant state school
superintendent, said virtually every
place that had been vacated in
Georgia had been filled. He warned,
however, that Georgia may feel an
other severe shortage when the
schools opn again next fall.

Big Crop Loss
Feared Unless
Fruit Is Canned
Atlanta, Ga.—OPA officials ex
press fear that a major portion of
the $15,000,000 fruit and berry
crop in the Southeast will be lost un
less housewives take advantage of
the extra ration of sugar provided
for canning and preserving.
The Office of Price Administration
said reports from Georgia, Tennessee
and the Carolinas indicated that
there was virtually no market for the
already ripening fruits and berries in
these States.
Housewives seemingly are not
aware that they can secure extra su
gar for canning purposes, in addi
tion to the sugar allotted them on
their ration cards. Application for
this additional supply of sugar for
canning and preserving should be
made at local rationing boards.
Housewives should apply to their
local rationing boards for the sugar
they will be allowed for canning and
preserving. They will be assuring
themselves of a winter supply of
sweets in the event of the further
tightening of sugar rationing, and
at the same time will prevent the
waste of the Southeast’s present
fruit and berry crop, which would
result in a heavy loss to Southern
growers.
Commercial canneries can only
use a small percentage of the crops
in this region.
