Large Cooking Club
Divides Into Groups
A meeting of the Krispy
Cookers 4-H cooking club was
held at the home of our leader,
Mrs. Arbogast, February 9. We
decided to split the club Into
two groups of nine each, be
cause there were too many
members for one group. Each
group will meet every other
week for cooking Instruction.
There will be a regular busl
ness meeting the first Wednes
day of each month, with both
groups together. Mrs. Hague
wood Is our assistant.
At our January 26 meeting we
made brownies and baked them
during our business meeting.
We played a game, sang songs
and had refreshments of cook

Efficient Use
Considered Key
To Water Woes
Water problems have been
solved UP to now almost en
tirely bv building Morale dams
and making additional water
available.
From here on, mure efficient
management U the key. says
lr. F.merv N. Castle of Oregon
State University, a member of
the State Water Resource
Board, lie 1 dean of faculty and
professor of agricultural eco
nomics at OSU.
U. S. Bureau of the Budget
estimates Indicate that Southern
California would not need to lm
port additional water for two
decades If It would make effic
ient use of the water It now
has. Castle observed tn a talk
before the Oregon Chapter of
the American Fisheries Society.
Importing water Is easier
though than facing up to a dif
ficult Internal re-alloc a 1 1 o n
problem with their existing wa
ter, he suggested.
Oregon is fortunate in its wa
ter resources and Its preserva
tion of recreational facilities up
to the present, but difficult
choices In water use must lie
made during the next 20 years.
Castle cautioned.
The choices are not simple
ones, he added. Choices may
have to be made, for example,
between Irrigation or navigation
and natural beauty or payrolls.
The first requirement for wise
decisions, he said. Is detailed
Information on the problem and
determination of exactly how
Oregonlans want their water
used. The main danger Is that
Oregon will get so many public
water groups at the local, state
and national level that respon
sibility Is not made definite and
coordination becomes difficult.
An attitude of not consider
ing diversion of Oregon water
Is unrealistic Castle auggested.
The federal government has the
authority now to bring about
Interstate water transfer. So the
most reasonable position for
Oregon to take is to try' to in
fluence the conditions under
which such diversion will occur,
he observed.
If Oregon can define, measure
and estimate surplus waters,
there are waters that can be
diverted, he noted.
As Important as out-of-state
considerations are. internal de
cisions on water use will prove
to be of greater Importance in
the long run though, he said.
Economics Is capable of help
ing tell the answers to some of
the problems, too. Castle point
ed out.
"If we cease protecting water
from the same Influences to
which we subject other scarce
goods and services, we will re
ceive some automatic guides
for Its management," he concluded.
