Insured jobless total drops
Insured unemployment under regular entitlement (all programs) in
Washington State fell 4,767 to 98,648 for the week ending March 22,
1975. With inclusion of the 15,151 persons claiming extended benefits
and 20.414 individuals drawing federal supplemental benefits, the total
number of claimants came to 134,213. Aside from snow-impeded
logging operations in the higher elevations, the approach of spring
resulted in a generally quickened pace in most outdoor activities across
the state.
First rebate checks due May 9
The first of 78 million tax rebate checks will be mailed on May 9,
Michael Sassi, IRS District Director for Washington, said this week. The
bulk of the mailings should be completed by the end of June. Sassi said
taxpayers who filed returns the earliest will receive rebate checks first.
The payments stem from enactment of the Tax Reduction Act of 1975
which provides tbr a rebate on 1974 taxes of between $100 and $200
for most taxpayers, Sassi added. The IRS will automatically compute
all rebates.
Employment survey set next week
A sample of households in this area will be visited by Bureau of the
Census interviewers during the work week of April 14-18 to conduct
the bureau's monthly survey on employment and unemployment. In
addition to the usual questions on current employment, the April
survey will have additional questions about the use of food stamps in
1974, and the first quarter of 1975.
Speed grows as death cause
Speed contributed to a higher number of fatal collisions during the
tirst three months of 1975 than for the same period a year ago.
However, alcohol-related crashes dropped. Last year, when gas lines
were long and travel short, 137 persons were killed in 120 fatal crashes.
This year 132 persons died in 120 crashes during the first three months.
lntbrmation from the Washington State Patrol indicates that speeding is
gaining in its relation to fatal collisions. More pedestrians have been
killed this year. One-car overturning mishaps have declined.
Time for snowmobile registration
Owners of snowmobiles in the State of Washington are reminded
that the Washington State Snowmobile Act requires the registration of
their vehicles. According to an announcement from the Office of
Snowmobiling, Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission,
the previous three-year registration period expired February 1975 and
one-year renewals involving the purchase of a five dollar registration tag
are now due. The fine for operating an unregistered vehicle is $25.
Hams to aid shoreline cleanup
Washington State Amateur Radio Operators will furnish essential
communications for Operation Shore Patrol to be held April 12.
Operation Shore Patrol, sponsored by the Washington State
Department of Ecology, is designed to involve the public in an all-out
effort to clear accessible stretches of ocean beaches and inland
waterways of litter in western Washington from the Columbia River to
the Canadian border.
