Congressman SAM COON
WASHINGTON, D. a
APPROXIMATELY ONE DOL
LAR OUT OF EVERY $15 in the
Public Works appropriation bill
passed by the House of Repre
sentatives last week would be
spent on projects entirely in our
Second Distriet of Oregon, or part
ly in our district and partly in
adjoining ones.
We are fortunate that such a
large share of this appropriation
conies our way, when our Con
gressional district is only one
of 435 throughout the whole uni
ted States.
I sincerely hope that the Sen
ate will agree to the funds voted
by the House in this bill, which
will be of so much benefit to our
area.
CONSTRUCTION COSTS of Fed
eral dams and power projects
make up the largest portion of
the funds in this bill for our dis
triet. For The Dalles Dam, $42,
457,000 in construction funds was
voted; for McNary Dam, $2,828,
000. ARMY ENGINEERS' tentative al
locations for operations and main,
tenanre are as follows: McNary
Dam, $1,210,000; The Dalles Dam,
$100,000; The Dalles-Celilo canal,
$00,000; Columbia River channel
between Portland and The Dalles,
$90,000. The Engineers would
also receive $55,000 for flood con.
trol work in the Malheur Improve
ment District In Malheur County;
$25,000 tu complete planning of
flood control works to protect the
city of rendleton.
FOR THE JOHN DAY FEDE
RAL DAM, the Army Engineers
would receive $1,450,000 for ad
vance engineering and design
work.
RECLAMATION BUREAU
FUNDS would include $1,035,000
for construction of the Haystack
Dam in Jefferson County, $251,
000 to buy replacement pumps,
build a wasteway and complete
the rebuilding of the Ontario
Nyssa pumping plant oti the
Owyhee Project in Malheur Coun.
ty. Klamath Project operation
and maintenance funds would
amount to $150,710 of which $57,
000 would be funds advanced by
the water users.
OF THE BONNEVILLE TOWER
ADMINISTRATION'S appropria
tion, $2,211,000 in construction
funds would be spent in and im
mediately adjacent to our dis
trict. The Dalles Dam would be
tied in with their main system
to get the power Into the grid.
Several high lines would be built,
one extending from near The
Dalles into Sherman County, an
other from Round Butte to Redmond.
THE SOIL BANK FARM BILL
as passed by the Senate and the
House last week includes provi
sions for a two-price plan on rice,
if the Agriculture Secretary de
cides to put it into effect. I hope
that he will do so. A successful
run of a two-price plan on rice
would increase our chances of
getting a two-price plan on wheat

Oregon Extension
Agent Named Head
Of Kentucky Work
Miss Viola Hansen, Oregon
State college extension agent,
has been named head of the Uni
versity of Kentucky's extension
service program in home eco
nomics, it was announced this
week.
Miss Hansen's appointment, ef
fective August 15, follows 12
years of "outstanding work in
the Oregon program," stated F.
L. Ballard, associate director of
OSC extension service.
As state leader of the Ken
tucky home demonstration pro
gram, Mis Hansen will coordinate
the university's extension service
leadership for 33,800 women en
rolled in 1667 homemakers' clubs
throughout the state and for 35,
000 4-H club girls.
"Miss Hansen's departure is a
real loss to the Oregon program,"
Ballard said in announcing her
acceptance of what he termed
"an excellent opportunity In a
state that is planning consider
! able reorganization in its home
, demonstration work. In our judg
ment, Kentucky is obtaining one
of the outstanding home demon
stration leaders in the country to
head up its new program."
Miss Hansen joined the Oregon
staff in 1944 following gradua
tion in home economics at the
University of California at Los
Angeles. She served for six years
as extension agent in Linn coun
ty and came to the OSC central
staff as home furnishings spec
ialist. She was named state ex
tension agent in 1952 and is dis
trict supervisor of home demon
stration work in 12 Oregon coun
ties: Clatsop, Columbia, Gilliam,
Hood River, Lincoln, Morrow,
Multnomah, Sherman, Tillamook,
Umatilla, Wasco, and Wheeler.
Miss Hansen holds a master's
degree in public administration
from Harvard University which
she attended on a Carnegie fel
lowship during sabbatical leave
from OSC in 1950.
In 1951 she was counsellor for
21 foreign home economists from
seven European countries during
a summer tour of American col
leges including Oregon State col
lege, Oklahoma A & M, and the
University of West Virginia.
