"I don't know if we have won or lost ... it depends on how the State Tax Commission con strues it." , t , He discussed the meat label ing bill, which he introduced and which was passed. It pro vides that any outlet selling foreign meat must have a sign or label stating so. Some criti cism was leveled at the bill, faying that it would be a re straint of trade, but Mann said that Danish hams and Canadian bacon, which are marked witn pride by their packers, are sought after by consumers. Reservoir Plan Eyed Recent action by the Cham ber towards planning for more reservoirs for recreation brought comment by Rep. Mann who said that a bill that would seek 50c from each hunting and fish ing license to reinstate a public fish impoundment program of the State Game Commission failed to pass in the regular session. However, he said that the commission may have enough funds to start the pro gram without this help. Two lo cations for consideration are listed in Morrow county, and he said that he would confer with Orville Cutsforth, chairman of the county parks commission, about this. He briefly discussed the bill passed that limits the amount which a landowner may be tax ed for forest fire protection. "We've been trying to get some thing dohe about this for 10 years," he said. State Studies Water Needs On water development, he said that. $350,000 has been ap propriated for a study of water needs in the state. 'The covetous eyes of Calif ornia are on us,' he said, and added that many other western states are also looking towards Oregon as a possible source of water. "Some feasible plans have been presented," Mann said. The study will seek to determine the state's potential for the next 100 years. "When it is completed four years from now, we will have scientifically supported answers on whether we can spare any water." He suggested what might be one answer to neighboring states, "You go ahead and put in your subdivisions. We'll put water on our acres and feed you." As to his impressions in his first sessions in the legislature, Rep. Mann said that it was nec essary "to continually watch out for bills that would be right for valley counties but wouldn't fit ours." He observed that quality of representation in the legislature was extremely high, "maybe with a 10 percent exception." Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Privett re- turned home recently from a 10-day vacation, which in cluded a trip by plane to Ava, Missouri, to visit relatives that they had not seen for several years. Those visited were Mrs. Privett's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hardy Frazier, and her hus band's mother, Mrs. John Priv ett They also saw their daugh ter, Mrs. Leon Taber, who will leave in August to join her hus band in Berlin, Germany, where ne is stauonea. upon ineir re turn to Heppner, they found their son, John, ill In St Antho ny hospital, Pendleton, where he was taken for observation.
