on April 25. 1938 Claimants who followed her down through the years got their payments without ceremony. A reserve fund from which the rrioncy for the payments comes | was established in 1936 when employers began paying an unem-j ployment insurance tax. At first! the administering agency was > called the Indiana Unemployment Compensation Division, At the time the first warrants were issued, about 10,000 employers and about 665,000 workers (were covered by the law. The maximum weekly payment was sls and the maximum benefit period 15 weeks Today, about 33,000 employers and more than a million workers are covered. The maximum weekly benefit is $33 and the maxi-. mum benefit period 20 weeks. Where a claimant could draw no more than $225 in 1938, he now | can receive $660. Yearly payments from the fund i were variable. The lowest output [was in the World War II year of 1944 when only $1,682,984 was paid out. The biggest was 1954 when $60,645,339 was distributed, i Despite the current heavy drain lon the fund because of unemployment claims which have been running above 100.000 a week, the .fund is in good condition. It has a balance of about 187 million dollars, and tax collections from employers have exceeded benefit payments by more than 120 million dollars. The fund has earned ; more than 69 million dollars in interest.

Worst Killer Road i Wins Reputation As Worst In Indiana INDIANAPOLIS (UP>— U. S. 31. a Great Lakes to Gulf of Mexico highway which runs from South Bend to New Albany and Jefferisonville through Indianapolis, won a reputation today as Indiana’s worst "killer’’ road. Indiana State Police in their annual summary of traffic deaths for 1957 did not label it as such But they picked out 10 sections jof rural highways where the largest number of fatalities occurred. I Four of those sections were on *U. S. 31. in Marshall, Miami, Hamilton and Scott Counties, and the deaths on that one highway in those counties totaled 30. Second most deadly highway was U. S. 41 running from Hammond to Evansville through Terre Haute. Two stretches in Newton , and Parke Counties recorded 20 deaths.. Ind. 67 in Marion and Delaware Counties accounted for 16 deaths. The three highways together hogged 66 of the fatalities among 85 listed for the 10 “killer” sections. which also included U. S. 6 in LaPorte County and U- S 36 in Hendricks County. The 1957 statistical summary; also showed that: —February was the “safest'! month with only 69 traffic deaths and October the worst with 124. -Twenty-six of the 92 counties had five or fewer traffic deaths, including Martin and Switzerland j with only one each. 1 . —The largest numerical increase in traffic deaths over 1956 was 123 in LaPorte. and the largest de- ■ crease was 29 in Porter County. —There were 34 death free days out of the year’s 365, five of them in June, with only two instances !of two death-free days in a row, . one in May and the other in June. —The biggest one-day toll was 13 on Saturday, June 22. Three of the year’s four 10-death days occurred in December, two of them during a three-day span Christmas week. The heaviest toll on a national holiday was eight on Memorial Day.
