Salem. Ore.. 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.
Races, Horse Show
Set by Ashland Riders
xne Asniana maing associa-
uon aaturaay announced xneir
second horse show and race meet
ing of the 1950 season will be
held at the Ashland rodeo
grounds at 2 p. m., Sunday,
May 21.
Seventeen events will be fea
ured at the meet, including the
grand entry of mounted groups,
a Shetland pony race, a mounted

ing competition.
Henry Enders is general chair
man of the event, and Walter
Hamby will be armouncer.
Bats are able to fly In com
plete darkness because of their
own built-in radar systems. 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
