The morbidity report i- released

partment of Health. It shows the
prevalence of communicable dis-
ease by counties.
"In the light of our present
knowledge regarding the control
of diphthria. it is unfortunate

flourish," Dr. George VV. Cox,
State Health Officer, said.
For the week June ;l<i to July •">.
Nueces County reported four cases;

Counties reported one each. For

from diphtheria were recorded.
"A life-time immunity may be
established in {Hi per cent of the
children receiving the diphtheria
toxoid," the health officer said.
"If all parents of children ovei six
months of ane would have their
children innurulated, the incidence
rate of the disease would he rapid-
ly reduced.

("Editor'* Note: In previous ar-
Ircle- appearing in this paper,
irady Marchison, Bastrop Office
Hanagt- fur the Tex a- Employ-
ment Commission, ha- piinteo' <<ut
die differences between unemploy-
ment insurance, old-age insurance,
and public assistance. Also, Grady
Mim-hi.son ha> pointed out why
gone individuals are not eligible
to draw these benefits. He has

jumnt'.- rights of appeal from de-
cision.- rendered on all three type?

*as discussed at length. Today,
4e <ii-cu .ses Title V of the G. I.
flifl of Rights, which concerns
the program of Readjustment Al-
fcwances to Veterans.)
C'-ntrress in its efforts to give
the World War II veterans a
financial "boost" when he returned
from service, parsed the G. I. Bill
(if Rights. Title V, of the G. I.
Bill sets up machinery through
which the Texas Employment Com-
mission, acting as agent for the
Veterans Administration, takes re-
adjustment allowance claims from
unemployed or self-employed veter-
ans. The Commission makes pay-
ment to the veterans out of monies
voted by Cnogress and supplied by
the Veterans Administration.
Who can draw these benefits?
Veterans of World War II with
90 d ays active service. If the
ret e ra n was discharged due to
the d ability incurred in line of
rfi/ty, with less than 90 days, he
may also draw allowance . Tie
inu-t have served after Septembei
M, 1940, and prioi to the ter-
mination of war. If he received
a dishonorable discharge from any
pf the armed services, he cannot
4ra« readjustment allowances.
Cr employed veterans receive
payments for specific weeks of un-
employment for which they claim
allowance*. They inu.->t be able to
work at the time they fill their
first claims. Self-employed vet-
erans ma'- receive the difference
between their net earnings each
month and $100, if they make
rlaim before the 20th of the
month following.
The questions now come up—
How much can the veteran draw?
flow long can he draw readjust-
ment allowances? He may draw
fJO a week for weeks he is totally
•nemployed and claiming allow-
ances If he is partially unem-
ployed, he may receive the dif-
ference between his earnings and
fK Self-employed veterans may
tfaim the money difference each
month between their net earnings
from self-employiment arid $100.
The unemployed veteran can no!
draw more than 52 weekly pay-
ments of readjustment allowances.
The number of payments made are
based on length of .-ervice. Each
monthly self-employment payment
counts a.- five weekly unemploy-
ment payments.
Facilities of the TEC are at the
disposal of the veteran wi.-hing to
file a claim for readjustment al-
lowances. The veteran must show
his discharge papers to the Com-
mission representative with whom
he files his claim. Another im-
portant thing for him to remem-
ber; He must first register foi
work with the Commission in one
of the local offices.
There are instances when the
veteran cannot draw readjustment
allowances. He may be disqulified
for quitting his job without good
cause, for beinjr discharged on ac-
count of misconduct, for refusing
suitable employment, for refusing
to attend a free training course,
or if he is unemployed due to a
labor dispute. Self-employed vet-
erans may not receive payment for
any month during which theii net
earnings were more than 1100,
Unemployed veterans may not r<
ceive money for any week with
respect to which their earnings
from partial employment were
or more. A full-time employed
veteran may not receive allow-
ances at all. Subsistence allownce*
for educational or vocational train-
ing courses and readjustment at
lowances may not be drawn at t!u
same time. Severe penalties are
provided in ca.-< of fraud or mi
representation to obtain payments
to which he is not entitled
