UNEMPLOYMENT CLAIMS TO BE FILED BY MAIL Beginning Aug. 27, all per­ sons who would normally file unemployment compensation claims by reporting in person each week at 110 E. Jackson in Woodstock, will file their claims by mail. Elgin unem­ ployment compensation repre­ sentatives are discontinuing their weekly visits to Wood­ stock. This was announced yes­ terday by Fred Hopkins, man­ ager of the Elgin office of the Illinois Division of Unemploy­ ment Compensation. Hopkins said that each per­ son currently claiming bene­ fits will be given a form to be filled in, signed and mailed to the Elgin office at the end of a week ot unemployment. The form will be accepted as a claim for benefits for that week, and a new form will be promptly mailed to that person for use the following week, and so on, as long as he remains unem­ ployed and meets the eligibil­ ity requirements of the law. • Any person who loses his job and wants to file a claim on and after Aug. 27 must visit the Elgin office in per­ son to start his claim," Hop­ kins pointed out. ' After that visit he will claim weekly ben­ efits by mail. If he is again laid off for lack of work, he may notify the Elgin office by mail and will be sent the forms required to reopen his claim." ' In some instances," Hop­ kins continued,' a claimant may be asked to make a visit to Elgin after he has started his claim. This will usually happen when some doubt exists con­ cerning the claimant's eligibil­ ity for benefits and it is not possible to get all the nec­ essary information from him by telephone." Hopkins stressed that every effort will be made to obtain necessary information by mail and telephone to keep the number of required visits to the Elgin office at a min­ imum. Hopkins explained that the use of the mails for the filing of claims is on a trial basis to determine whether the Unem­ ployment Compensation Act can be properly administered in this manner. He pointed out that if the trial is successful (as it already has been in other Ill­ inois communities) use of the mails for the filing of claims may be expanded to other areas, with a possible saving of time and travel costs for both the unemployed workers and the state of Illinois. The Elgin Unemployment Compensation office is located at 76 So. Grove avenue. It is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. from Monday through Friday, except on state holidays. Hiring Painters If you are planning to hire a painting contractor, save him some time and yourself some money by making basic prep­ arations before he arrives. First, take down curtains, blinds, and other wall decora­ tions. Dust the walls and win­ dows. If there are accumula­ tions of grease or grime, wash the walls with a mild deter­ gent solution, rise with clear water. Move all furnishings to the center of the room where they can he covered with pro­ tective dropcloths. Your best reason for choosing a State Farm Homeowners policy REV.

FRIEND OR FOE? -- Mrs. Lois Kakushin, admitting super­ visor at McHenry hospital, has so entitled the small inset in picture above. The small lizard climbing atop a can of talcum powder is the unusual pet adopted by her son, L/CpL Richard C. Weeks, 3415 John street, McHenry, assigned to the f irst Marine Air Wing in Da.Nang, Vietnam Most of his friends, he says, have dogs for pets, but L/Cpl. \\eeks added that they be­ come too noisy at night, so he selected the small reptile.
