tended unemployment compen
sation payments, Ben T. Huiet,
Georgia’s Commissioner of La
bor, reported today.
Huiet said that the claims
were taken under the new
state - federal TEC program
which provides for the pay
ment of up to 13 weeks’ addi
tional benefits to unemployed
workers who exhausted their
regular job insurance rights on
or after July 1, 1960. These in
clude those who receive their
maximum number of checks
payable and those whose bene
iit year ended, stopping their
rights to further payments.
Eligible workers who have
not yet filed TEC claims were
advised to do so as soon as pos
sible. Local employment of
fices of the Department will be
open on Memorial Day, April
26, to accept applications for
jobs and claimants. The place
ment tempo of the Employ
ment Service has been stepped
up. Commissioner Huiet re
ported.
Huiet pointed out that the
program is a temporary one
and that no new claims for TEC
will be accepted after March
31, 1962. For persons entitled
to benefits before that date,
the program will end on July
1,1962.

roe to participate in the Dis
trict Four Band Festival. Af

judges were generous with
their remarks. Some of the re
marks read as follows; “This
group shows a lot of hard work
by both the director and the
students. In time it will be a
very good sounding group.
Congratulations to the direc

Georgians Urged
To Immunize
Against Polio
Vaccination against polio is
offered free of charge in all
local health departments in
Georgia for children up to 10
years of age and expectant
mothers registered with the
department for prenatal care.
The Georgia Department of
Public Health recommends im
munization of all citizens be
fore this year’s polio season
(primarily July, August, and
September). Particular em
phasis, however, is placed up
on the immunization of all
children under 10 years, since
this group is consistently hard
est hit by the disease.
If immunization is started
after the age of six months, the
complete or primary immuni
zation series includes two shots,
four to six weeks apart, and
Chamber of Commerce Hears Os
Proposed County Waler System
Members of the Newton
County Chamber of Commerce
heard a water works engineer
ing official at their May meet
ing Monday at the Country
Kitchen Dining Hall on
Church Street.
The speaker was Tom R.
Wootten of the firm of Merritt
and Welker Engineers, Mariet
ta, Georgia. He was introduced
by C. of C. President Dan
Clower.
Mr. Wootten said that a
county-wide water system is
in the preliminary stage in
Newton County and after
traveling over parts of the
county he stated that system
could be extended to some
five different sections of the
county.
He named the Almon com
munity, State Highway 81 sec
tion above Oxford, Highway
81 and 162 past Porterdale,
Jackson Road to Henderson’s
store, and Salem Campground
as areas in which the system
could be installed in the near
future.
A preliminary survey of the
area mentioned has some 650
potential customers. About 75
percent of that number would
have to be signed in order to
get the system, he added. Sale

Immunization schedule for
infants under six months in
cludes three shots four to six
weeks apart, and a fourth shot,
seven to 12 months after the
third shot. An extra shot is ad
ded to the usual three-shot se
ries, due to the fact that most
infants under six months still
have some antibodies from the
mother and don’t respond to
the vaccine as well as an old
er child.
If an individual has already
begun the immunization series,
the Department strongly re
commends that he try to com
plete his immunization before
the summer polio season be

He explained that the city

During he business session
of the chamber meeting Mon
day, Bill Thompson made a
motion that the C of C “make
every effort to start a local
united appeal for all fund
drives in Newton County.” A
show of hands showed that the
motion passed unanimously.
Secretary John Jernigan re
ported that the Newton Coun

being studied as a “model
chamber of commerce in Geor

C. He stated that the Thomas

they will send a committee to

see how the local C of C op
