Governor Signs Bill Expanding State Unemployment Benefits
The governor praised the measure as a step toward security and wage-earner relief, noting it grants unemployment benefits as a right. The bill, passed unanimously by Senate Republicans with Democratic support, sets a nine-tenths of one percent state payroll tax rising to 18 percent in 1936 and 2.7 percent in 1937, funding a new unemployment fund and a civil service administered program. The act creates a Department of Labor and Industry administered system and a three-member unemployment compensation board, with outcomes pending federal approval and further amendments in January.

In Clearfield/Clinger area a hunter named Sweeney shot and killed his hunting partner Clinger during a groundhog hunt near Helen Furnace. Sweeney claimed he fired after seeing movement in bushes. He was sentenced under 1921 firearms law. Heavy snowfall hindered big game hunting with 4 to 19 inches across regions. A man mistook another for a deer in Lock Haven incurring no charges pending investigation. Three hunters were found missing but returned, and game wardens reported deer totals and snow depths varying by county.
