Changes in Employment Laws Are
Explained by Manager Of Office

was the introduction of disability
compensation for those workers
now covered by unemployment,
insurance. Financed entirely by
the worker by a one per cent
withholding on the first $4,000
of wages, in contrast 70 the un-
employment compensation pro-
gram which is financed entirely
by the employer, the program
provides for the payment of ben
efits ranging from $40 to S25 a
week, depending on earnings,
for those workers who become
i'll or disabled and are not covered
by workmen's compensation
Deductions of one per cent
will start on July l, 1949. EN-
ployers will be responsible for
transferring these payments to
the employment security depart
ment and will submit them with
their regular unemployment COM
pensation contributions.
Disability payments, determined
in the same way and in the
same amount as unemployment
compensation, will be made for
periods Of disability occurring
after January 1, 1850.
The law also provides that q
private insurance plan carried by
an insurance company or an en-
ployer or an employee group may
be substituted for the state plan
if the majority of the workers
in an establishment consent to
the plan. Such a plan must be
by the department and
must provide benefits as great as
the state plan at no greater cost
to the worker.
Houston said that disabilities
must be certified by doctors Ii
censed within the state or by doc
.ors employed by the U. S. Gov
eminent. No payments are to be
made for disabilities arising in
connection with pregnancy. Indi-
who in accordance with
he tenets of their faith depend

oy filing the appropriate certi-
cations, be exempt from partici-

Two bills passed by the 31st
Washington legislature and signed
by the governor will make some
major changes in the operation
of the employment security de-
partment, Fred L. Houston, man.
ager of the Pasco employment Of
flee explained this week.
while the major amendments
to the unemployment compensa-
ton act will not be affective until
July l, few changes do have
the effect of law Immediately,
Houston said.
He pointed out that one of
the most important reviSions of
the unemployment compensation
act, effective Immediately, was
the elimination of the seasonality
provisions of the 1947 law which
classified certain employers in a
manner which prevented their
employees from drawing benefits
during certain seasons of the year.
Since all seasonality determin-
ations are terminated, employers
submitted to the depart
ment after March 81, 1949, need
not distinguish between seasonal
and non-seasonal employment.
The most significant legislative
action affecting the department

on Thursday, March 81. They
were accompanied by their teach
ers, Mrs. Leila Messervy, and
Mrs. Ethel Knighten. Mrs. Pat
Brown, music teacher, who was
also interested in the study OF
stars, arrived later.
This trip was the climax Of
the unit in science, Wonders of
the SkyS." Before dark there
was a treasure hunt, after which
lunch was eaten. Afterwards the
prominent consultations were To-
Gated and the ten brightest stars
were spied, using a spotlight as
a pointer, While locating the
twins, Caster and PolluX, the pu-
pills saw a shooting star.
They left the airport at $3.50
with the feeling that their visit
was very worthwhile.

While looking through one of these
old Almanacs, l found the follow
ing thought provoking quotations,
coming to us from half a century ago:
Worry and Fret two little men
That knocked at my door again and
again:
oh Pray let us in but to tarry a
night,
And we will be off with the dawn
ing of light
At length, moved to pity, 1 opened
the door
To shelter these travellers, hungry
and poor;
But when of the morrow, 1 babe
them adieu,
They said, quite unmoved, Well
tarry with you
And, deaf to entreaty and callous
to threat,
These troublesome guests abide with
me yet"
Society is made up of two classes:
one, the Working Glass; the other,
the SHIRKING class"
And final quotation from that
great American, Theodore Roose-
welt:
I'VE must use no words that we
are not prepared to back up with
deeds"

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

In last weeks column stated that
in 1909 the hospital almost located
permanently in the north end of
town, but that was not sure just
where the site was located. Now,
through the courtesy of Mr.. ]. B.
Ferguson, / am able to tell you.
The site was a piece of property
north of the old Mckee home on Po-
tomac Avenue, across the street from
Irwin Avenue, and it was pur-
chased by the trustees from the
late Mr.. w. C. Mckee. Mr.. Mealey
requested the ]. B. Ferguson Com
pany to make topographic survey
for the use of the architect, who was
a Bostonian. After Mr. Mealey's
death, however, the Board of Trus-
tees decided to sell the Mckee prop
erty and purchased the Kee Mar
College site.

Good Friday-Plant potatoes and
fax seed.
Longest Day-Plant eucumbers
pumpkins, sweet potatoes, beets.
July 25-Plant turnips.
The list then continues with sug-
gestions of all kinds, such as:
Destroy shrubbery on st. John
Beheaded, Ascension Day, Lion, or
old Moon in August.
Shear sheep in sign of Scales, Lion,
or Dark of Moon.
Cut timber, make soap, and tap
sugar trees in Dark of Moon
Dig post holes, nail shingles, make
applebutter in the Down Sign.
Lay worm fence, cut ingrowing
toenails, trim fingernails, clean out
we'll or spring, and pillow or spade
all in the Up Sign.
Let cows go dry in New Moon.
Rack off vinegar in Sign of the
Lion.
Trim nails on Good Friday to
keep away toothache.
Butcher in Full Moon.
Set hens on Good Friday.
Feed three kinds of food to chick
ems on Sarah's Day."
This is indeed an imposing list,
with quite few conflicts and repeti-
tions. Many of these rules are well
known, while some of them have no
doubt received little attention.

State Employment
Has Slight Drop

The unemployment compensation
director, Bruce Parkinson, reports
what he calls slight" drop in
employment. There are 1,200 fewer
workers employed in "non-agricul-
tural" jobs-as of April 15-than
there were the previous month and
$500 less than the same date a
year ago.
According to Parkinson, the lay
offs at the mines was the biggest
factor in the decline. Hotel and
tourist trade was in slump and
the construction trades, while regis
tering a slight gain over the pre-
vious month, were also below last
years mark.
Unemployment benefits, strange
ly enough, decreased nine per cent
over April, with $268, ,927 being paid
out for the month of May.
The states job decline follows,
fairly closely, the national pattern.
A quarter of a million layoffs oc-
Cured between mid-April and mid
May. In several states the decrease
ranged from five to eight per cent
of the total labor force.
