Red Cross Still Needs Financial Help, Reported Volunteer workers, in an effort to complete the 1950 Red Cross campaign for funds in Deschutes county, today issued an appeal for the cooperation of the public in the ellort to obtain tne cnapter s quota, some $12,600. The cam. paign is lagging, it was announc ed, and as a result chapter ser vices are endangered. "We must stress once- more how essential it is that we raise our minimum quota, of which 75 per cent remains in this county. In order to continue the local ser vices of the Red Cross that seem to be desired by the people," states an announcement from the exec utive committee. Rev. Robert E. Nicholas is chapter president and Harold Aspinwall Is fund cam paign chairman. Programs Hireatened Included In chapter services is the training of Instructors for the water safety program.

Failure of the current campaign might Jeopardize sev. eral or all of the programs, rang ing from first aid to home nurs. ing classes, it is pointed out. A Red Cross blood storage program also is planned. Nationally, the, largest single service of the American Red Cross is still to members of the armed forces, Aspinwall said. It is expected that nearly su.whj.ixhj will be needed to meet this obliga tion. Second in the amount needed nationally is some $15, 000,000 for services to veterans and their families. Blood Program Factor The third largest Item In the yearly budget is1 the national blood program, which will be functioning in some 50 region centers before the close of the ensuing year. The Deschutes county chapter has requested and has received permission to lie come a participating chapter through the Portland region cen. ter In the blood program.

Effective scaling work has been carried out in the basin in the past two years, and the quick storage this season indi cates that no more serious leaks are developing. Leaks Sealed Two years ago, leaks developed along extensive fault lines near the base of Davis mountain. Into the fault fissures escaped a minia ture river, which apparently flow ed toward the center 'of Davis mountain, an old volcano. Tills year, Wickiup reservoir reached Its peak capacity well in advance of the irrigation season. According to present plans, water will be released into the North canal, at the north city limits of Bend, around April 1, for the Agency plains unit of the 50,000 acre project. The date on which the water can be released will de pend on the completion of canal sealing work Just north of Bend, To Use .Direct How It is expected that the direct flow of the Deschutes can be used for a short time this season by the various districts, making it pos sible to conserve storage. All three reservoirs in the upper Des chutes country, Wickiup, , Crane Prairie and Crescent lake, will "peak" this season. . A report on upper -Deschutes storage conditions, believed to be the best in years, will be submit ted at the annual central Oregon water outlook conference to be held In Prlneville on April 5. Reports from the high country indicate that abnormally heavy late March snow fell along the headwaters of the Deschutes, In the eastern Cascades, this past week.
