Rocking Chair money

[Walt's Daughter]

Harold Whiting says...

 

When ww2 vets got home they were to get 52 weeks @20 dollars from the state unemployment office you had to sign up each week and be avail for work even though there was not much work and you could not buy a car they just wasnt any . No new ones made during the war. so every body that had a car kept it. Ilived 10 miles from thetown that had mills. but they were not hiring so i signed op for 52-20 got five weeks 100 dolars then they asked do you have a car to get to work i said no so they stoped my checks. Then there was a hearing 50 miles away i did not go. no wheels . that would have been July of 1946 . another in 1952or 53 .Each soldier had a life insurence policy. .If you did not use it then you were to get a refund. Igot mine with it came a peice of paper saying you owed the gov 100 dollars that you got on 52 -20 deducted100 dollars . now this says the money did not come from the state it was gov.money hwhiting
