She received benefits for seven weeks ending October 14th, 1945. The question was as to her eligibility for benefits thereafter. An appeal from the determination of the appeal tribunal was taken by claimant to the Board of Review, which, after hearing, affirmed the determination of the appeal tribunal on the ground of unavailability for work as required by

B. -8.

43 :21~4(c).

certiorari

should issue to determine the question presented. It is so ordered.
