·bill cohen FROM CONGRESS

Shortly after the Congress returns from its Independence Day recess, the House will consider legislation amending the present unemployment compensation law.

The unemployment compensation program has served Amer­icans well since it was begun in 1935. The past few years have been marked by a tragically high rate of unemployment nation­wide, and the unemployment compensation program has been a major source or assistance for jobless workers and their families during this difflcult period.

I have strongly supported emergency benefit extensions and expansion of the program to uncovered employees to help American workers get through the recession. Throughout my service in Washington, I have fully supported the purpose of unemployment compensation--that is , to provide persons who are, out of work through no fault of their own with suffi<.!icnt income during periods of temporary unemployment.

I am concerned, however , that attainment of this goal has been undcrm ined b:v many individuals w\lo have abused the sys­tem for their own selfish gain. Recent television reports have focussed attention on cast•s of persons from Northern states who have left their jobs to move to Florida where they are collecting unemployment while falsely claiming to be "looking for work" in the state. Indeed, in discussing this situation with my eollcagu<.?S in the House, I have found this kind of abuse disturbingly widespread .

One midwestcrn colleague has recounted the story of a re­cently- retired indi vidual who sold his concrete business and then _decided to try to collect unemployment. After applying at hts local emplo.vment office for compensation. the man asked somt• of his friends in the local concrete business to c~nfirm to th<· agency that he had applied for managerial jobs with them -- jobs he knew did not exist.

Anoth(• r <"asc: a man with a seasonal construction job in Missouri received minimal straight-time payments in the win­tt!r months. H(• ldt his job and went on unemployment because he dctcrm ined that he could collect more on unemployment than he could get in take-home pay if he stayed on the job.

These' cases aro far from unique. There are numerous documented eaiws -- and many more undocumented ones -­im•olving persons who have found it more profitable to stay on unemployment rather than look for work. These people con­tribute nothing to tht• Amcriean economv while thev remain on the public dole. Clc•arly, any system. which pc~mits --and even cncouragl'S -- Americans to avoid work in this wav needs to be re-examined. .

To try to find a pra<'tical solution to this problem . I am co­sponsoring with Congressman Burlison of l'vlissouri an amend­ment which would require a new National Commission on Un­employment to stud.v tht• problem of claimant fraud. The Commission would b{• c-hargcd with recommending whatever administrative and legislative changes are needed to end the widespread abuse of the un<.'mployrnent compensation svstem.

Of course, another comm ission report will not in its~lf solve the problem. Congress, if it passes our propoi;;ed amendment, must be willing to act swiftly on the Cof\1mission's recom­mendations if this serious matter is to be corrected.

MACHINE GUN CONTRACT DELAYED . On ~u.ly i.:a Federal judge in Washington granted a prelim­t~ary tnJunctton preventing the U.S. Army from buying Bel­g tan-made tank machine guns until General Accounting Office completes an investlgation into the awarding of the controver­sial weapons contract.

Earlier thls year, the Army had announced its decision to award the contract for the new guns to a Belgian firm inst- · -t of to the Maremont Corporatlonof Saco, which offered to~ the tank weapon for $14 mlllion less than the foreign company • . In addltlon to the' cost discrepancy, seeming irregularities· in . the testing of the two guns have raised serious questions about­the factors lnvolved in the Army's decision. Indeed, the Maine Congressional Delegation has found strong indications that the machine gun contr?ct may ahve been part of a secret deal to secure a Belgian government commitment to purchase Amer­ican-made F-16 fighter planes for their NATO forces.

Because of the questions about the procedures involved in the contract, upon which hundreds of Maine jobs depend, the Maremont Corporation protested to the GAO, requesting a full tnvestigatlon of the circumstances surrounding the award to Belglum. At the same time, the company, with the support of the Delegatlon, filed s~it in Federal court charging the Army with violating the Buy American Act and asking for an injunc­tion against any purchase of the Belgian guns.

The July · 1 ruling prevents the army from purchasing the . Belgian guns for 30 days, or until five days after a GAO ruling is forthcoming. While this does not guarantee the successof the court case, it ls a positlve development in our attempt to· prevent Maine jobs from belng bargained away in some hlgh­stakes international arms deal. .,.. ______________________ ...... ,...,.,,,_,. ................ .

UMO COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE If you want to be sure that shrub you are considering for

your lawn will survive a Maine winter, get a copy of Lyle Littlefleld's Universityof Maineat Orono bulletin 599, "Woody Ornamental Plant Hardiness Trials."

Llttlefleld, an assistant professor of ornamental horticul-. ture and landscape speciallst, has prepared a 17- page list of

woody ornamental plants with a winter-hardiness rating. In addition to the scientific name the recognized common name follows wherever possible.

All the plants in the booklet have been tested at a demon­stration site on the Orono campus which is used for observa­tion of plant hardiness, adaptability for landscape purposes and to provide a collection of plants in a relatively small area for public observation.

Littlefield said the test area is very exposed and that plant­ings are probably more severely subjected to wind than they would be in most home or commercial plantings.

The bulletin, published by the UMO Cooperative Extension Service, is available from the mail room in the Public Infor­mation and Centr al Services Building .

Jane Cook, former resident of - rno, nuw residing in Clinton, Conn., with the original wall hanging she is donating to the Milo Hospital for a fund-raising project.

This wall hanging depicts the ler ond of .Milo. In the center we see our three rivers -­Pleasant, Piscataquis and Sebec . P.1so in the center are the names of our first settlers -­Benjamin and Theophilus Sargent , Moses and Stephen Snow, as well as the name of the Indian boy, Ateon Oseon, who befriended TheophHus and no doubt saved his life (1802).

In one corner she has embro idered the first American Flag with 13 stars; in another there is a Maine Pine Tree. In the lower corner is the American Thread Company and in the 4th corner the emblem of the B & A Railroad.

A little State of Maine chicadee sits in the center, guarding it from harm. The origlnal design was drawn by Pat Crosby and embroidered by Jane Cook. J ane

says it took her well over 300 hours to make this lovely wall hanglng. The reason - - she wanted to help our hospital in its fight for sur vival because the nurses took such a persona l interest in her family on many occasions when they were patients there.

The hospital's thanks and appreciation go to Jane Cook.

MILO SELECT.MEN SEND LETTER TO GOV. LONGLEY a Milo Selectmen signed a two page letter that has been

fo~rded to Governor Longley regarding the seriousness of the black fly problem that plagues this area.

T\~O Comprehensive Employment Training Acts (CETA) posittons have been awarded to the Town of Milo. One is for a combination slot comprised of a Planning Board/Industrial Development Committee Assistant who will work directly for the Chairman of the Planning Board and the Chairman of the Industrial Development Committee. Presently, the Planning Board ls concentrating mainly on the Comprehensive Plan that is required by state law for the Town of Milo. The Industrial pevelopment Committee, since spring, has been working on an Industrial Business package with the cooperation and assis­tance of Eastern Maine Development District in Bangor. This will_ state what theTownof Milo has to offer to any prospective busmess firm. Examples of items that will be included are: transp_ortatlon services; labor market; property tax structure; ~unlc~pal procedure; education; utilities; repair facilities; fmanctal service; community services and availability of supplies. The other CETA position will be a custodian for the Town Hall and Derby Community Hall.

The Selectmen signed a letter, to. be returned to the State Dept. of Transportation, indicating approval of Federal Aid Secondary Roads. For high ways designated as part of the Fed­eral Aid Secondary System, it is necessary for the State Dept. of Transportation to receive an agreement with local officials. Ho~fully, these roads will be elig ible for federal financial asststance for improvements in the future. The two roads are Park Street from the Library to the Brownville town line and the Bradford Road from Bucks Corner to the town line. '

The Maine Safety Council will be hosting an Occupational ~ ~ety and Health Administration (OSHA) Clinic on Thursday ~y 15, and the Selectmendesirethat theTownManager attend'.

eglnning July 1, 1977, the Town of Milo will be under the State OSHA rules and regulations.

LOCATION OF TE:NNIS COURTS UNDECIDED The Planning Board after discussing the pros and cons of a

Tennis Court sue voted 3-2 to recommend to the Selectmen to locate the Tennis Courts at Knowles Avenue Extension across from the house that Fred Trask recently sold . Also the Recre­ation Committee and the Recreation Director recommended the Knowles Avenue Extension next to the Public Works Garage. However, the Police Dept. does not favor this location. The Derby School site was the second choice by both the Planning Board and the Recreation Committee.

Some of the reasons in favor of the Knowles Avenue Ex-tension were:

1) Eas·: land to build on 2) ~o ciraina~e problems 3) LocatirJn not a factor as far as vandalism 4) Good area for lights

The main reason not in favor of the Knowles Avenue Exten­sir,n was:

11 . Pr,r,r Jr,e:atirJn near the cemetery for vandalism. The ;.;i;, Je:e:tmen f)'JStponed a doc:ision on the Tennis Court

The Derby _r,rr.rr,.i:-.1~·: C-::nt<:r Tennis Cr)urts received poor response.

The S~lectmen decided to locate the n:,at ir. thr: ri-;r:r at the fr,rmer site on Water Street. Posted s1 ~:-. s ·J: f] J ~,r; r::st.ablish<:;rJ stating "Swim at Your Own Risk" per r,rrJr: r r,f thr: Sr: Jr;r;tm'::n.

Town Manager Dale Green informed the Selectmen that the Derby School has been completely demolished and the contrac­tor has completed. his po~lon of the contract. The cellar area will be filled in and gravel hauled. as soon as the Public Works Dept. has available manpower and trucks. ·

Four new members were appointed to the Recreation Com­mittee. They. are: Murrel Harris, Andrew Yaeger Morna Lewis, Dorine Comeau. Karen Clark was reappoln~d to the Recreation Committee.

Heating Bids were opened and discussed. Town Manager Dale Green is to obtain more data from the companies before the fuel oil requirements for the Town of Milo for the heating year 1976-1977 is awarded.

The Town Manager has received a letter from the State of Maine Dept. of Transportation from the Division Traffic En­gineer regarding parking at any time from the north side of the Sebec River Bridge to the driveway exit of the Merrill Trust Bank on the east side of Main Street. The letter gave no specific recommendations and the final decision on parking on Main Street will be up to the Town of Milo.

Two bids on the El~ctrlcal Work that needs to be accom­plished at the Town Hall were opened. The two bids were:

George Dean $2450.00 Forrest Smart, Jr. $3500. 00

Selectman Robert Zozus moved and Herbert Dunham sec­onded the motion that carried unanimously that we accept the bid of George Dean's.

The Black Fly research program was again discussed. Chairman Edwin Treworgy read a letter from the chairman of the Black Fly Control Committee, Alan Gove, requesting a contract for a contribution from the Town of Milo. Research wlll be done in the tributaries of the Penobscot River pending the approval of the State Board of Pesticides Control and the granting of a waste discharge license. Town Manager Dale Green will answer the request, stating that since no research is scheduled for this area and since we have not received a reply to our letter to Governor Longley, no funds will be forth­coming this year. A copy of our letter to Governor Longley will be forwarded to Mr. Gove.

Building permits were approved for the following: Name Item Cost Esther Wallace Porch $ 300. 00 Jane & Rachel Prescott Two-car Garage 2500. 00 Bert Perkins House Trailer 400. oo Leroy Bragdon Frame Building 400. oo Kelley Bros Three-sided Shed 2000. 00

The Planning Board desires to discuss further prior to any recommendations to tho Selectmen on the closing of the Ceme­tery road from Knowles Avenue Extension to Summer Street. Recommended to the Selectmen on trail bikes and motorcycles signs to be posted and restricted. Ordinanec to be adopted t~ enforce their use. Tractor-trailer truck on First Street and Summer Street, the Planning Board recommended no action as the problem will be solved shortly with the completion of the construction on the LaGrange Road. The Town Dump will be discussed further by the Planning Board; however, the only recommendation at present is that locks be changed periodi­cally. Prior to the Planning Board's recomm(·'ndation on any long-range plans that a series of Public Hearings be held for cost information, sites , improvement". c:.tc:.

The roof of ihc Town Hous:;c located on Maple Street is leak­ing, according to Town Manager, Dale Green. Selectmen re­quested that Mr. Green get cost estimates from various con­tractors to determine the cost. Town Manager Dale Green presented possibilities of a Town Hall sign. Selectmen con­currec that the Town Manager proceed with further possi­bilities, diagrams, and cost and inform the Selectmen of his recommendations.

THE TOWN CRIER

Right To Quit "I've had it," Hazel announced

to her employer after less than a month on the job. "It isn"t the work that's getting me down. Ifs the lack of work. I get bored just sitting around. 0

Later, Hazel put in a claim for unemployment insu rance on the ground that she had a "right to quiL" But her claim was rejected in coun. The coun sa.id she was out of work by her own choice, hence was not covered by the !av. .

Actually, Hazel did have a point. Although unemployment insurance is primarily intended for those who have been force ,. out of their jobs, it also exten• j to those who have quit for som~ compelling reason.

But the coun decided mere boredom v.as not compelling.

Neither is n moderate cha11se of working conditions. A cab driver had for years been driving a car with a stick shift. When the company wanted him to drive a car with an automatic shift. he decided the change was too much for him and he walked out.

But again a coun found that his reason for quitting was less than overwhelming and denied his claim for unemployment insur­ance.

On the other hand. working conditions may be so onerous that the employe.: docs indeed ha,·c a right to quit without losing his eligibility. Consider this case:

When business turned sluggish , ; at a downtown furniture store. tbe ' owner ordered one of his sales. men to \\Ork at a paint hooth in the hasement. ·

But the salesman happened to be aller!!iC to paint. UnaMe to .:hangc the O\\ ner's mind, he li· nally gave up the joh.

Under these cir.:umstan~cs. the ~alesmnn wni:; heki entitled to un­employment in:-;ur.1n.:e. The ~'"'urt ,;ijJ he W!l< .. justit'it:J in refusin~ "'unsuitable. \\Or~ whi.:h he had reawnaMc apprehmsi,,n to l:>e· liev~ he t:\")Ut..i ""'' perfllml \\ ith· t.'\11 !\t.'fil'HS injury h.' him$elf."
