"I don't know if we have won

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

They had made a box In
