Derno íKB? Friday, July 25, 1941 Collection of Aluminum Progressing Christian Church Ladies. 4-H Clubs Making Calls for Defense Material The drive for aluminum as con­ ducted by the ladies of the Chris­ tian church is progressing well, ac­ cording to Mrs. W. 0. Livingstone. Nearly all houses in the city have been reached but people who have been missed in the drive are asked to leave their pieces of aluminum in the two bins made for the pur­ pose. One of the receptacles is loc­ ated on Bridge street just across from the Post Office, the other is on the lawn in front of Mrs. Kate McDonald’s home on North street. The bins were constructed by C. A. VanAlstine and J. W. Nichols. Rural Drive Made In the rural areas of the Neha­ lem Valley the aluminum drive is being carried on by members of 4-H clubs it was revealed by O. G. Weed when contacted Monday rela­ tive to the drive outside the city. The 4-H members have undertaken the work as a project for their clubs. The requests for aluminum will continue for the remainder of this week which was previously set aside, but aluminum articles will be accepted at any time in the future. Referee Sets Forth Decision Seasonal workers unavailable for other jobs may not serve waiting weeks for ” unemployment benefits outside of their regular season. Sea­ sonal employes, however, who cus­ tomarily engage in other work may serve their two waiting weeks dui- ing any jobless period. These legal definitions were set forth in a recent decision by a referee for the State Unemploy­ ment Compensation Commission. The difference between seasonal “workers” and “employes” is based largely on availability for other work as shown by employment re­ cords. A Salem cannery worker asked benefits after serving waiting weeks outside of the regular season from June 8 to October 11. The decision disqualified her because of a 15- year job record showing rare per­ iods of work outside of canneries. Changes to Be Made In other seasonality cases re­ cently decided, claimants establish­ ed rights to benefits as well as waiting periods during the off-sea­ son. One showed earnings greater than possible benefits in half of his off-season weeks, while the other actively entered the labor market during the shut-down period. Changes In seasonality law and regulations will be put into effect in 1942. Weekly wage reports now being gathered by the commission will form the basis for new deter­ minations, while “seasonal em­ ployes” are to be restricted to those earning 75 per cent of their annual wages within the primary season. Masons Plan Outdoor Meeting All Masons are invited to attend an outdoor degree meeting Satur­ day, August 9th, at Bald mountain in Eola Hills, 11 miles from Salem. C. L. Brock, W. M. of Vernonia Lodge No. 184, announced this week. Members of the lodge are urged to contact other members who will likely not hear of the meeting and urge them to attend.

More Button* Needed Class to Meet Twice Weekly Funds tor County Fair Barn Sought; Show to Be Given July 30 Starting last Saturday members of the Nehalem Beaver Creek 4-H Cattle Club began their part of the job of raising $500 needed to completely finance the construction of a 4-H club barn at the county fair grounds. Last year at the Columbia Coun­ ty Fair the unexpected number of 4-H animals exhibited astonished even the fair board. Facilities for sheltering the animals were far less than those needed and have been for- several years. Greater Facilities Needed It is part of the club project for members to exhibit his or her animals at some fair and if these boys and girls are to show their stock properly and to best advan­ tage greater facilities are necess­ ary. That idea was held by several people last fall at the time of the last fair and almost enough money was donated then to build the barn but the $500 sum is needed yet. The 4-H clubs of the county are attempting to supply the money. Ticket Sale Being Made This coming week and for the remainder of the class session, the clashes will convene twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, at 8 p. m. in the upstairs of the Legion hall. To become a qualified instruc­ tor in first aid, the student must attend 20 class meetings.
