Insured Unemployment
Shows Steady Decline
SALEM Insured uncmploy-
reached its peak four weeks ago
and has been declining rather
steadily since, David H. Camer-
commissioner, Oregon De
partment of Employment report
ed here. The rates of insured un
employment in most areas of the
state were lower for the week
ending March 21 than they were
both four weeks earlier and a
year ago.
The statewide rate of insured
unemployed was 6.2. for a total

claimed compared to a rate of
7.9 and 31,900 plus weeks claimed
our weeks earlier and 7.7, a total
of 30.600 plus weeks claimed a
year earlier. Exceptions for low-
area rates were at Astoria,
where the insured unemployment
ate was up to 8.5 from 6.9 a
year ago; at Baker, wnicn nan
the highest rate in the state, at
14.2, up 1.4 from four weeks ear
lier; at La Grande, 7.0. higher
than the 5.4 rate four weeks earli
er, and at Ontario, at 8.6, up
from 6.4 four weeks earlier.
Lowest rate in the stale was still
in the Corvallis area with 3.8,
down 1.3 compared to both a
year ago- and (our weeks earlier.
Statewide the number of con
struction projects and logging
operations which are in progress
is a major reason for Oregon's
comparatively low level of sea
sonal unemployment this past win
tor, the department ot employ
ment said.
Other rales of insured quern
ploymenl in the larger areas com
pared to a year ago showed Ihe
following for Ihe week ending

To Promote
Crater Lake
A picture of Crater Lake, Ore
gon's most interesting landmark.
will be carried lo virtually every
corner of the United States as
part of an unusual promotion be-i
ing conducted by Coca-Cola Bot
tlers.
Called "Discover America," the
program is designed lo encour
age and awaken interest in the
history and characteristics of
America. Illustrations of the
landmarks will be carried un
der the caps of millions ot coke
bottles. The series of new caps
include 102 different illustrations
two for each state and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The other illustration for the
stale of Oregon is Ml. Hood
Everett It. Ball, manager of
the Coca-Cola Bottling Company
of Klamath Falls said that the
"Discover America" activity was
begun because of the unusual suc
cess of the "World" boltle caps
activity last year. The Coca-Cola
Bottlers felt that a similar ac
tivity, concentrating on the most
interesting aspects of Ihe United
Stales would be of wide interest.
In order to use the coke caps
as a teaching aid for geography
and American history, a teacher's
guide was prepared by Dr. E. T.
Kosh Jr., assistant professor of
teacher Education al Emory
University and Agnes Scott Col
lege in Atlanta.
The entire series of special
crowns will appear on Coca-Cola
Bottles during March, April, May
and June.
