May 13 (U.R) Only one claimant in 40 has any seasonal restrictions upon his unemDloyment compensation in surance benefits, the state uncm- ment compensation commission said today. And only one-iuiy-nintn oi the covered pay rolls are report ed by seasonal employers, it said. Factual Analysis These were among findings of a factual analysis the committee made in an effort to promote better public understanding of a feature of the law that may come ud for legislative action in 1951. Changes made by the 1B4U legislature will affect the eligi bility of only a few seasonal workers for benefits before July 1, 1951. During the benefit year which will close next June 30, only 6 per cent of the 121,341 persons with valid claims April 15 were found to have seasonal wage credits. Of these 7,307 claim ants, 2,225 were unable to draw any checks during their em ployers off-season; BbU sustain ed minor seasonal restrictions, and 4,222 were restricted in no way. Of 17.071 reporting units lasi year, only 123 or less than one ner cent were found to be sea sonal. Of the 16.800 liable employ ers at the beginning of this year, only 141 were declared seasonal. These firms at their maximum employed 20,339 persons and paid annual wages of $16,180, 154, about 1.7 per cent of the entire covered pay roll of $050 million. The committee pointed out that these latest findings will not restrict benefits of sea son workers until fiscal year 1951-52. Between 70 and 80 per cent of the employes and pay rolls affected by seasonality rulings are in the canning and preserv ing of fish, fruits and vegetables, the commission found. In fact, about six in every seven employees of seasonal firms were in the food industry, including poultry processing, cold storage and cafes. Sam Number ' Only 14 lumber and wood product concerns were included in the latest seasonal determina tions the same number as in the year before. Their operations were considerably lighter. Em ployees dropped from 795 to 538 and pay rolls from $1,613, 023 to $952,248. Hotels, resorts and recreation were second to the food indus try in importance among the seasonal groups with 6 to 8 per cent of the total. Forest pro tective associations accounted for slightly more than 3 per cent.

The explanation offered is that these creatures locate and avoid ob structions in their way by mak ing supersonic cries which arc echoed back from the objects as identifying "echoes" come back to radar gadgets. The night flying technique of the creat tures was revealed by experi ments In which blindfolded bats were able to get about without mishap, while those with their ears covered could not. i MON DESIR .ogue River Valley's Most Popular DINING ROOM tuw WILL SERVE A SPECIAL DINNER TODAY Starting 3:00 P.M.
