ISM
EMPLOYMENT LEVEL
RISING IN ALASKA
The Employment Security
Commission reported today, that
■he employment level is rising
in Alaska and is higher now
than it was last year at this
time. An analysis made from re
ports submitted quarterly by
employers, shows that average
monthly employment during
1955 was 1.1% greater than 1954.
The better employment pic
ture, coupled to the effects of
the new ESC law have reduced
benefit payments. The first 11
months of the current benefit
year, ending June 30th, has seen
35% less paid out to unemployed
people, than during the corres
ponding 11 months of the pre
vious benefit year. At the begin
ning of May, the fund had 3 bal
ance of $1,254,000. Income dur
ing that month was $797,000.
Benefit payments during May
amounted to $441,000, the low
est amount paid out during that
month since 1952. Although the
fund shows a net gain of $356,
000 last month, June will show
a net loss, as June tax collec
tions are normally low.
Starting with the month of
July, the fund will begin to rise
and will probably reach its peak
in November. Thereafter, bene
fit payments will likely exceed
income with the fund reaching
its low point sometime between
March and June of 1957. June
12, 1956.

Signal Corps Marks 96th Anniversary
Saluting it's 96th anniversary
on June 21, the U. S. Signal
Corps announces as this year’s
theme “Serving the Army and
the Nation.” Highlighting the an
niversary, Army Signal Corps in
stallations and troop units
throughout the world have plan
ned activities ranging from
military reviews and open-hous
es to demonstrations and dis
plays of Army Signal Corps
equipment and communications
techniques.
Activities will show, in one
part, how the Army Signal
Corps teamed with America’s
industrial might, passes on many
new and time saving develop
ments for eventual use in the
American home. This is of par
ticular importance to Alaska and
the Pacific Northwest for an
agency of the Army Signal
Corps is charged with the re
sponsibility of furnishing tele
phone and telegraphic commun
ications to and from the States
and within the Territory. This
agency is the Alaska Communi
cation System with 32 stations
in population centers in Alaska.
Although ACS is basically mil
itary in concept and forms a
part of our national defense, it
was conceived of a combined
military and civil requirement
and over the years has continu
ed to serve both.
.Y-^g
180 years old, still young in spirit, still strong in its
devotion to freedom, this nation looks back upon its
history with pride, looks forward to its future with
confidence.
