Unemployment Fund Shows Small Balance
As of November 19 the balance
in the Unemployment Compen
sation Fund was $4,102,414, ac
cording to a report released last
week by Merrill E. Weir, direc
tor of the Alaska Employment
Security Commission.
Since there is a court order
impounding $650,000 of these
funds and a liability of $3,000,000
due to a loan from the Federal
government, the balance is $452,
414.
We must develop the habit of saving for future
security and the earlier in life we start the better
Why not start saving for your future now . . . open a
savings account today. You will be glad tomorrow
that you saved today!
