EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
OFFICE CONSIDERED
VERY SUCCESSFUL
The Employment Service office,
conducted at the Fairgrounds
the past two weeks, will conclude
services tomorrow, according to
Rob Merrill who has been in
charge of the office. Merrill re
ported response in this area has
been very good, and it is antici
pated that a smiliar service, for
a longer length of time, will be
conducted again next year.
Merrill will next be in Palmer
to accept unemployment claims
at Carpenters hall. This service
will not be conducted on the
twice-monthly basis as was op
erated this past winter. Rather,
Merrill will be in Palmer approx
imately every five weeks. Be
tween these visits persons wish
ing io file claims for unemploy
ment, who have questioins re
garding the same, are asked to
write the Alaska Employment
Service, P. O. Box 2240, Anchor
age, or stop at the office at 3rd
and “C” Street, Anchorage. All
area claims should be sent to the
Anchorage office, rather than
Juneau, Merrill pointed out, as
claims sent to Juneau are re
routed to Anchorage anyway,
which would cause a delay.
