Knight also urged the unemploy- ed veteran to visit the local office and get information on how to es- tablish his re-employment rights under the Selective Service Act. If in the meantime, however, he has acquired new skills or knowledge, or experience in a new occupation. and does not want to return to his old job, he should explain this fact to }to the I6eal office interviewer. The local office manager stated that the purpose of the new vet- erans’ unemployment compensa- tion legislation is to provide dis- charged servicemen, who are un- able te find jobs, with weekly payments which will tide them over temporary emergencies while they are out of work. The total of $676, which is payable in weekly amounts of $26, to be paid when out of work and eligi- ble, will remain to their credit until used. He also stated that the veteran cannot collect this unemployment compensation for the same period | in which he is receiving mustering- out pay. Nor can he collect bene- fits while receiving allowances for education or subsistence during on- the-job training. In addition, if he has state wage credits that might make him eligi- ble for benefits under any state un- employment insurance law, or un- der the railroad unemployment in- surance program, he should file a | claim for such benefits. Naturally a | claim for these benefits will be | acted upon first, and if .they | amount to less than $26 weekly, he | will get supplementary payments | under Title IV to bring his weekly | benefits up to that amount. If he is | disqualified under the state law| | from receiving benefits for any | week claimed, he will not be eligi- | ble for compensation under Title Iv. | I€ the veteran still is unemploy- separation papers, his social securi- ty card, and a list of employers for whom he worked during the 18 months prior to his entering the } Cominued On Page Eight) | st reontnrnareeeeertetetRIEIT ELECTRIC FANS i AN Standard Makes Thompson Enterprises, Inc.

Voters stayed away from the Polls in droves lay in one of the lightest turn-outs in recent history. Though a Florida Supreme Court justice will be virtually elected in today’s Democratic primary, only a fraction of the 12,162 elegible vo- ters had cast their ballots by noon today, compared with the 1300 dog track voters fwo weeks ago at. the same time. At the County courthouse, only six voters ‘had shown up by 11‘a. m. At the Fire station only 22 had ed out by noon. Even though after- work votes might come in later, the total vote will be a small one, Supervisor of Registration Sam B. Pinder said. Mi Running in the primary which is tantamount to election, since there is no Republican opposition, are Justice E. Harris Drew and Cir- cuit Judge Vincent Giblin. The job which pays $12,500 a year was vacated by the late Justice R. H, Chapman, who died after he was nominated last May without oppos- tion. Drew was appointed to fill the unexpired term, In contrast to the day of the dog track referendum, the polls today resembled Duval street shops the day after Christmas. Only the elec- tion inspectors and elerks peopled the precinct places, 4 The vote will be counted im- mediately after the polls close at ight.
