Poge 4 KLAMATH TRIBUNE APRIL, 1957 4 -X Dr. R. M . Tisinger, Education Specialist, Visits This Area In (lie S : 1 1 1 ! 1 1 and Chiloipiin :i r s during the latter part of March was Dr. R. M. Tisinger, I'M neat inn Specialist with the I'ureau of Indian Affairs. Dr. Tisinger arrived in Oregon from Washington D. ( on March 17 ami returned March 2.X. During his visit he spent a good deal of time observing the KMinath Kdu cation Program as set tip under tin- State Dept. of Kdncatiou and visited Klamath students at var ious vocational schools and col leges throughout the State. Dr. Tisinger began his career with the Indian service in HM1 as Superintendent of Indian Kdn catiou on the Pima and Papago reservations in Arizona. He later hecame area director of schools in the Portland area office of the Bureau of Indian affairs and left this position in 195 J for an assign ment in Thailand where he served as a government advisor with a Tnesco fundamental education program. He returned to the llurrau of Indian Affairs in Janu ary of this year. Dr. Tisinger is now working with the Adult Indian ICducation programs which are being con ducted on the several reserva tions throughout the country af fected by termination legislation. He was recently in Oklahoma ob serving the adult education pro gram in operation for the Wyan dottcs, Peorias, Ottawas, and Modocs. He reports that there are 14 Modocs living in Oklahoma, descendants of members of that tribe located there shortly after the Modoc War, who are on the Klamath tribal rolls. He will visit the Menominee reservation in Wisconsin in the near future to observe the adult education pro gram which has been set tip for that tribe. Starching Miseries Avoidable; Helpful Hints Given HOME HINTS Do you have trouble in starch ing? Is starching your laundry a misery? If so, here are ways to avoid some of the most annoy ing troubles: LIMPNESS When starched garments do not take on the proper crispness, it may be because they were not wrung sufficiently before starch ing and the water diluted the starch mixture. Also, the clothes may have been dried in a strong wind or in a damp atmosphere. In very humid or freezing weather, it is best to hang starched gar ments indoors. STICKING TO IRON This may be caused by not cooking the starch enough, or allowing skim to form on it after it is made. Sticking sometimes happens when the iron is not hot enough, or there is excess starch on the surface of the garment, or the fabric is too wet. WHITE STREAKS ON DARK FABRICS When you starch dark-colored garments, white starch often shows on the surface. Use blue ing to tint the starch for dark blue or black and strong, clear tea to tint starch for brown. Com mercial tints also may be used to color starch. TRY A "STARCH RINSE" Tablecloths, sheets, handker chiefs, pillowcases, and many articles of clothing look better when they have been given a finish of starch, for it imparts a bit f body or a smooth, new look. Such a finish can be given right in the washing machine. For a full load (7 to () pounds) use o tablcspoonfuls of starch to 4 cupfuls of water, made according to the directions on the package. Add the 4 cupfuls of starch solu tion to the final rinse Water, and run the washer for three or four minutes. Remove water by put ting clothes through a wringer or spinner basket. HOW TO STARCH MEN'S SHIRTS Mcn shirts are starched per haps more frequently than any other garment in the home laun dry. Here is a simple way to handle them. For allover starch ing, use the "starch rinse" de scribed above, or dip in a light starching solution. Then starch the collars, cuffs, and buttonhole bands in a thicker hot-starch solu tion, if desired. The trick is to gather together the buttonhole band, the collar, and the button band as if you were pleating them. Hold tightly and dip in the WATER USERS ASS'N NOW ORGANIZING Modoc Point farmers are in the process of organizing a Modoc Point Water Users Assoc iation. Hob Doak, Klamath tribal member who was recently named farmer of the year by the Klam ath Reservation Jaycees, has been designated chairman of the group. 0 Weeds Poor Investment; Grass Good Replacement Weeds Steal Feed From Your Stock Sagebrush, rabbit brush, this tles, and other unpalatable weeds growing on your range reduce the production of growth your cattle will cat. Before seeding more palatable species the weeds should be re moved, and a good seed bed pre pared. For best results seeding should be done with a grain drill. Pick A Good Variety Before Reseeding. brasses are our best conserva tion tools. Of these, crested wheat grass is one of the best for dry land seeding. It withstands heavy spring grazing better than any native grass. It is very palatable ami its early spring growth habit makes it valuable for taking the grazing pressure off other grasses and browse in spring and early summer. Crested wheat grass makes good hay and is readily eaten by all classes of livestock. For best quality hay it should be cut just after it blooms. o EXEC. COMM. (Cont.) (Continued from Page 1) attorney J. C. O'Xeill made the trip to Salem to present the case for the proposed bills. Election Report Discussed With Management Specialists Advance information regard ing the election by tribal members to withdraw from the tribe or remain in a plan of management was discussed, by the Executive Committee in a special meeting with the Management Specialists on March 26, 1957. It was announced by the Man agement Specialists that, upon clearing the advance information with the proper authorities, copies of the report will be made avail able to tribal members. The Klamath Education Program will cooperate in contacting members I 4 11. nni oiseussinir inis reoori wiui them. Community Meetings Held; Amendments, Election Discussed Klamath tribal members will be expected within the next few months to make a decision to withdraw from the tribe or re main under a plan of manage ment. This important matter as well as an up-to-the-minute re port on the amendments to P. L. 587 was discussed at the com munity meetings this month. The Wednesday, April 10, meet ing was held at the Klamath Falls Y.M.C.A. beginning at 7 P.M. Pot-luck dinner meetings be gan at 6 P.M. at the Williamson River Church on Thursday, April 11, and the Sprague River School on Friday, April 12. At all meetings child supervi sion was provided and a full length movie shown. -0- starch. Squeeze squeeze out the in the starch, excess, and dip again. Repeat the process several tunes before finally squeezing out Hie starch and slapping the ma terial between your palms. Water Use Increases Crop Production, Protects Water Rights Will you have any water rights after termination? You can great ly strengthen your right to the use of irrigation water by de veloping it before termination. The time to start that irrigation system is right now so it can be used this year. The time of year is now ap proaching when thoughts should be turned to land preparation and seeding of crops. Along with this should be given some thought of where the moisture will come from to feed -the growing plants. Will there be adequate soil moisture? This is a difficult ques tion to answer since we can't be sure how much rain will come during the growing season. The snow pack in the mountains is a great deal under normal and this will be reflected in low stream runoff in late spring and through out the year. Of this much we can be reasonably sure: without above normal, rain during the growing season we can expect to have a drv season similar to that of 1955. An irrigation system can prac tically pay for itself in a dry year. Without it, alfalfa yields may be as low as one-half ton per acre whereas adequate soil moisture may raise the yield to three tons or more per acre. Ir rigation is the only way soil moisture can be kept within safe limits for a crop in a dry year. , Hy developing your water re sources now, you will not only help to increase crop production this year but also protect your water rights for future years.
