I. benefits for the next three months, partly because of ; Increased joblessness among veterans. A portion of the money would i be used for unemployment pay ments under the G. I. bill of rights.

Bradley farm near Hubbard still hadn't produced a single fly by Monday, April 11. The yellow currant, fly is the worst insect pest of gooseberry and currant growers. It causes wormy gooseberries and worthless fruit. Bradley is checking these cages each day in order to help goose berry growers time their sprays. When he finds the first fly, grow ers will apply lead arsenate sprays to kill the flies before they lay eggs under the skin of the berries. County extension agent D. L. Rasmussen feels that some goose -bery growers may get impatient about waiting for flies to emerge under the test cages. For those growers who believe ttheir fields are earlier than the average, he suggests a thorough cover spray containing three or four pounds of lead arsenate added to an 8-8-100 Bordeaux mixture. The Bordeaux mixture controls leaf spot fungus at the same time the lead arsen ate kills the flies. PUD lUav Clear Wav for Dam on Deschutes River BEND.

Courthouse Parking Bill Introduced A bill granting Marion and other counties in Oregon the right to regulate parking on courthouse squares was introduced in the sen ate Tuesday by the revision of laws committee. The bill was sparked by Marlon county court. It recently found itself powerless to regulate the congested parking on the court house grounds here. Salem Fire Chief W. P. Roble had Informed the court the congestion consti tuted a serious hazard to fire fighting equipment in case of a fire. Rules were suspended on the bill and It was placed on second reading. This means it will prob ably come up for final senate con sideration today or Thursday. If passed it will go to the house probably in time for last minute consideration. The bill would permit county courts to regulate parking on the courthouse grounds and would au thorize them to prohibit it entirely during certain hours. A penalty for violators is provided. Court Reduces 2 Assessments On Property Personal property assessments were reduced for two Salem busi ness men at hearings held before Marion county court Tuesday. Hearing on petition of W. H.

Mike JSteinbock, owner of the former Leonard's Supper club, ac cepted an assessment of $1,000 on fixtures. An original assessment of $5,580 was based on a false return made out, he said, by a public accountant.
