VERNONIA POST 119 Thomas Hall, Commander (NOTE: This column is written weekly and published by this news paper as an educational and public service. If you have questions with regard to the Oregon State Employ ment Service and-or Oregon Unem ployment Insurance Division, please address them to Oregon Department of Employment, 402 Labor and In dustries Building, Salem, Oregon 97310, Attn. Informational Represent ative. ) QUESTION. Will employers re ceive reduced rates on unemploy ment insurance taxes in 1965 as they did in 1964? ANSWER: Yes, due to the new ex perience rating law which was pass ed by the 1963 legislature and be cause unemployment has been low this biennium, some 34,000 of the 39,000 employers covered by the De partment of Employment law are expected to receive reduced rates again in 1965. In fact, it has just been determined that the average rate for employers in 1965 will be 1.9 percent compared to 2.3 percent in 1964. It is expected that some $6 million less will be collected in unemployment insurance taxes in 1965 than in 1964 due to the new re duced rates which will go into effect on January 1, 1965. The employer will pay taxes on the first $3,600 of each employees wages, a further saving during 1965. QUESTION: I just moved here from Nebraska on the strength of a job in Oregon. However, after work ing two weeks here, I was laid off. Am I eligible for unemployment in surance benefits from Oregon? ANSWER: Not from Oregon, but you may be eligible for benefits from Nebraska if you qualify under the Nebraska law. You may file your claim in any Oregon Department of Employment office and the Oregon office will forward your claim to the Nebraska Department of Employ ment, which agency will determine your benefit rights. If you are found eligible, you will then have to re port weekly to the Oregon Depart ment of Employment office as long as you remain unemployed in order to receive benefits. Solutions Give Colored Flames Evergreen cones, small blocks of wood or kindling, wood chips and sawdust, or even one-inch diameter rolls of tightly wrapped newspaper or magazines, tied at both ends, soak ed in chemical solutions and dried, will give off flames of various colors when they are burned in the fireplace to add Christmas cheer. County Extension Agent Don Coin Walrod suggests that the following chemicals will provide the colors in dicated: copper sulfate, green; cal cium chloride, orange; copper chlor ide, blue; lithium chloride, carmine; potassium chloride, purple. Chlorates, nitrates or potassium permanganate should not be used, warns Walrod, as they are strong ox idizing and could be dangerous after drying. Chemicals should be kept a- way from children and pets. To a- void storage obtain only sufficient amounts f o r treatment. Treating should be done out-of-doors. Walrod advises that rubber gloves should be worn and care used not to spill the chemicals or solutions. The chemicals should be dissolved in a wooden pail or earthem crock since the chemicals will ultimately destroy metal containers. A discarded five- gallon paint bucket serves admirably as a treating vat, mixing in it no more than a couple of gallons of so lution at one time. No need to clean it thoroughly for a change of chemi cal. The ratio is one pound of chemi cal to one gallon of water, using one chemical per batch. The materials to be treated may be placed in a mesh or porous bag and submerged in the solution. A day or so of soaking should be ade quate. Lift out and drain over the container and spread the treated ma terials out to dry. If the materials are allowed to dry on newspapers, the newspapers themselves, when dry, may be rolled and wrapped tightly to bum in the fireplace, says Walrod. The treated cones or wooden blocks make good novelty Chrictmas gifts, and bags to contain them can be made from dyed mosquito netting or other mesh bags. The U.S. produces more than 450 million tons of coal annually. Open Six Days a Week 1-65 1-65 PLAN NO. 5 8 8 5 Dairy Layout Saves on Cost A free stall dairy layout can save you up to 75 percent on bedding costs, cut down time spent changing bedding, allow you to put more cows in the same space, and have cleaner, more contented cows in the bargain. The construction and arrangements shown in U. S. Department of Agri culture farm building Plan No. 5885 for a free stall dairy bam will vary from farm to farm depending on the type of operation and size of the animals. Pole spacing in a pole building will depend on length and width of stalls and width of alley. Clearspan construction would permit the build ing to be converted from one use to another with a minimum of trouble and expense. It also allows more versatility in building layout, as well as equipment placement and maneu verability. This plan does not provide for feed ing hay. Hay storage and feeding fa cilities could be located between the covered feed bunk and the fence along which the alternate covered fence-line feeder is shown. Complete working drawings of Plan No. 5885 may be obtained from Farm Building Plan Service, Agri cultural Engineering Building, Ore gon State University, Corvallis, for 60 cents. Advice given centuries ago is still as good as new, largely because it has been so seldom used._________ Oernonia Eagle THURSDAY, DEC. 3, 1964 TRANSIT MIX CONCRETE MASON SAND — ROAD GRAVEL CRUSHED ROCK CHARLES T.
