Murphy has announced. "Until the current year, all employers subject to the Illinois Unemployment Compensation law have been required to contribute at the same rate, a flat ratfe of 2.7 per cent," Director Murphy said. "With the advent of various rates, which the law provided would start in 1943, contribution rates range from 0.5 per cent to 3.6 per cent.

HcHenry Folks Attend Gas Instruction School Several McHenry folks had their first e^>erience with poison gas one evening last week when they attended the Gas Instruction school in Woodstock. Each was equipped with a gas mask and put in a room in which the gas was present. After a time they were told to unmask and walk from the room. No tragedy ever evoked more tears than flowed from the eyes of our local friends. They all reported that it was quite a worthwhile experience in spite of a few moments of discomfort. Those from McHenry who made the trip were Mrs. George Barbian, Marie Vales, Marjorie D'Vore, Lt. Minnie Green, Capt. Mary Owen, all of the county Motor Corps, Paul Yanda, Alex |£lmer Freund and Pat Owen. ' Menkoys, Laaghttr Monkeys never laugh, bat 1h<?

NICKELS' Hardware Phone 2 :--: West McHenry SAME JQB INSURANCE PROTECTION FOR MEN, WOMEN IN SERVICE Women serving with the WAACs, WAVEs, SPARs and other branches of the land and naval forces of the United States will be eligible, upon termination of military service, for special "military" job insurance bine, fits, under the Illinois Unemployment Compensation act, the same as exservice men, State Director of Labor Francis B. Murphy has announced. "The Illinois Unemployment Compensation act does not differentiate by sex in providing military unemployment compensation benefits for persons who have served with the armed forces," Director Murphy pointed out. "If the requirements are met, benefits will be paid regard of sex." "No unemployment compensation benefits are payable for the time the person is actually in service. After termination of military .service, however, if the ex-service man or woman cannot find employment immediately, the maximum weekly benefit amount of $18 dollars will be paid provided' the individual claiming benefits had earned a total of at least |22S in insured employment Staring the calendar quarter in which he or she w%s inducted ancf the four quarters immediately preceding," he explained. "A further specific requirement is that the claimant must have entered military service on or after April 1, 1940, and served at least ninety consecutive days," Murphy explained. "All unemployment benefit claimants, with or without military service, must be able to work and available for work, and they must register for employment and file their claims for benefits at the local office of the United States Employment Service for the district in which they reside." Persons who draw benefits under the special provisions for military service Will not have to serve the regular week waiting period required for other claimants, Murphy said. Furthermore, the benefits are payable for as many as twenty weeks of total unemployment. In order to qualify for an adjusted I rate for 1943 an employer must, under I the experience rating provisions of | the state law, have been liable for ; contributions to the Illinois Unem- ! ment Compensation Trust Fund for | the years 1938, 1939, 1940 ami 1941. ! This record of liability is necessary | in order for the employer to meet the ' requirement that his workers or forj mer workers might have qualified, if ; unemployed and otherwise eligible, for benefits throughout the last three calendar years. "While 22,842 employers have the necessary record of liability to qualify for adjusted rates for 1943, 19,513 employers currently liable have not," Murphy said. "Those employers who are liable for the payment of contributions in 1943 but who were not liable for the years 1938, 1939, 1940 and 1941 wrB continue to contribute at the same basic rate of 2.7 per cent. Every subject employer will be adviseji of his 1943 contribution rate soon. The Division of Placement and Unemployment Compensation will mail 1943 rate notices to all employers under the law. regardless whether they are receiving an adjusted rate or are to continue contributing at the 2.7 per cent figure." Two principal reasons were given | by Murphy in explaining the fact I that so many employers Jacked the > contribution experience to qualify for : adjusted rates. Of primary importance, the Act originally included only employers of eight or more workers and was amended, effective January 1, 1940, to include employers of six or more. Secondly, national banks and savings and loan associations operating under federal charters did not come under the Illinois law until January 1, 1940. "•With variable rates now operative in Illinois, the costs of job insurance are being assessed on the basis of relative risk involved," the Director added. "Rates for 1943 are based on the employment experience of the individual employer, and the benefit payment experience of the state at large, during the three year period, 1940 through 1942. "Some industries, because of their seasonal nature, normally cannot avoid falling into the "high risk category. The construction industry is such, and in 1943 only nine per cent of the 702 construction firms coming under experience rating obtained the lowest rate while 49 per cnt will be required to contribute at the highest rate." Murphy pointed out that the provisions of the Illinois Act relating to experience rating are based on the principle that the costs of job insurance should be added to the costs of doing business and reflecting in the price of the service performed or the commodity produced. An analysis of a detailed report by the Division of Placement and Unemployment Compensation shows that in the finance, insurance and real estate classification 49 per cent received the 0.5 per cent rate; transportation, communication and utilities, 42 per cent; wholesale and retail trades, 37 per cent; service, 32 per cent; manufacturing, 30 per cent; agriculture, forestry and fisheries, 22 per cent; and mining, 12 per cent.

Prince Edward Island : Ptlnce Edward island is probably the first part of Canada touched by Jacques Cartier in his voyage to the New world and almost from that time it appears in the early story of Canada. It was first occupied by the French, who have left their mark upon it in the nature of old fortifications and the considerable Acadian population still found on the island. Elmer Contgomery of Wauconda, a former McHenry resident, whom we reported as near death in an Elgin hospital two weeks ago, has since been given his second blood transfusion, in an effort to aid him in recovering from an attack of streptococcus veridans endocarditis, a rare blood stream infection which affects the lining of the heart. Clarence Kaul of Chicago, a volunteer who recovered from an attack of the same disease, was used for the transfusions. Montgomery has a wife and three children. _ j, - GLOBAL ATLAS The Plaindealer has secured a supply of these atlasses for sale at 35 cents each.
