(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

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.

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._________
