Employers to Get
Dividend Checks
Mailing of almost $5 million
in workmen's compensation div
idend checks paid by the State
Compensation Department has
started.
A total of $57,920 will be dis
tributed to 610 employers in
Umatilla county. Checks worth
$19,892 will ro to 134 Grant
county employers; $6,749 to 78
employers in Morrow county;
$3,585 to 61 Gilliam county em
ployers; and 16 Wheeler county
employers will shure $G37.
Some dividend checks will be
delivered by representatives of
the State Compensation Depart
ment's Pendleton office, headed
by Ed Redman, manager.
Charles B. Gill, Jr., general
manager of the State Compen
sation Department, said over
25,000 Oregon employers are
scheduled for dividends.
To be eligible for the divi
dend, Gill said, an employer
must have been insured with
the State Compensation Depart
ment during the 1966-67 fiscal
year.
Checks range from a high of
$95,277 to a low of $5. The to
tal dividend is approximately
16.7 percent of earned pre
miums. This is the third consecutive
year that dividends have been
paid to Oregon employers since
the workmen's compensation
law was changed by the 1965
Legislature.
Gill pointed out that low ad
ministrative costs, high invest
ment yields and favorable loss
ratios are the main reasons for
the huge dividend.

Get Ready to Enjoy Winter;
Install Electric Heat Now!
Your family will enjoy a whole new world of winter
comfort and convenience when you install Electric
Heat.
And you'll be amazed how little it costs. Installation
costs are low when you heat by wire because there
are no expensive ducts or chimneys. Monthly heat
ing bills are lower than for most old-fashioned heat
ing systems.
But the biggest advantage of Electric Heat is com
fort! It provides a steady, even heat; there are no
"hot" or "cold" spots. You regulate the heat to the
"just right" temperature for every room.
Most folks, for example, prefer bedrooms a little
cooler than the living quarters. No problem with
Electric Heat. Just set the thermostat to the most
comfortable level; you'll be cozy warm all winter
long.
"There are lots of other reasons why so many folks
are changing to Electric Heat. Families with young
children particularly appreciate the extra safety fac
tors. It's flameless; no dangerous fumes or smokes.
The heating units are safe from little hands,
Of course, every home-maker is pleased with the
cleanliness of Electric Heat. There are no oily films
or streaked walls. Curtains and drapes stay clean
and fresh longer. Electric Heat greatly reduces the
time normally required for dusting and cleaning.
You'll save maintenance costs, too. There are few
moving parts to oil (or wear out), No fires to build.
Just set the thermostat and forget it.
Ask your rural electric cooperative for free infor
mation about Electric Heat. They'll gladly study
your particular problem and make accurate esti
mates of your heating costs if you install Electric
Heat.
