Judge Jones Is vice president of the League of Ore gon Counties and Mrs. Parrlsh is president of the Oregon Clerks and Recorders Assn. and they were sent as delegates to the conference of the Western region.

Cheap labor In Africa and Korea Is soon to kill the pineapple in dustry in Hawaii. The land is to be put Into sugar cane since that la a crop that can be farm ed mechanically. Hawaiians say their land is growing. An eruption of the vol cano, Mauna Loa In 1956 add ed 500 acres of land. No one was killed by this eruption which spewed almost a square mile of land Into the sea. They toured the crater and various parts of the main Is lands. Orchids grow In great profusion as do many other flowers and plants. In bloom were poinsettias and they were about three feet tall. Judge Jones was surprised by the banyan trees whose im mense roots sometimes spread over acres of area. They were on a three hour boat cruise on their Pearl Har bor tour. They were told by a driver that the Catholic and Mormon religions are the most popular there. Mrs. Parrish was impressed by the fact that hardly anyone honks his horn in Hawaii, some thing they surely appreciated. They visited the world's largest shopping center. A fire broke out on the 22nd floor of the hotel where they stayed. The doorman said this was the third time the hotel had suffered from arson and they had not caught the culprit.

This bill whlc hwould finance bill had a big boost create a State water fund loan bank passed the House Natural Resources Committee. Bill sponsor, Rep. Mann, feels very confident this time that the bill will pass both houses. It failed in the 1969 session. Only change In this present bill form Is lowering the amount of money raised to 2 of the state's valuation instead of 3. This reduces the amount of money available to ' loan from $480 million to $320 million. Robert Woehler stated Tues day Rep. Mann already, has the assurances of Gov. Tom McCall that he will sign the bill putting It on the ballot for 1972. It woud then be up for tho people to approve In a referendum. One factor that has changed In this legislative session la the support It has received In Went em Oregon. There had been some criticism that It was an Eastern Oregon bill before. I think a lot of small land owners and Irrigation districts have learned that this bill could . help them solve some of their, problems and provide them with ; a source of capital for develop- ment," Mann said.
