He was permitted to seek other employment during regular working hours, which he did without loss of pay, and was paid the regular bonus to employees to the date his services were discontinued, and given an additional $55 as vacation allowance. For a period of sixty months prior to June 20, 1942, Smader was paid $55 each week for his services. He now claims unemployment benefits.
