Linda McKenzie, graduate student in home economics at Oregon State University, had some of the answers to this question for members of the Consumer Advisory Council to the Oregon Department of Agriculture, when she spoke on the metric system at its April 1" meeting. Mrs. McKenzie, who has been doing a special study on the conversion for the Oregon Home Economics Association, said it is not a matter of whether there will be conver sion to the metric system but of how much time before the conversion. Her advice to consumers was to prepare themselves for the new sys tem. She said it would be in the food area where the most changes would be found and noted that she did not think it would be a matter of convert ing back and forth. To simplify the conversion Mrs. McKenzie advised con sumers to keep their old measuring devices for use with those recipes they had on hand. She said at least one company will be coming out this year with a measuring device for home use having both metric units (liters) and cups. Council members were as sured by Mrs. McKenzie that once they became accustomed to the metric system they will find it much more simple than the present system, since Garden club Mrs. Roy Ball was re elected president of Ihe Boardman Garden Club at the meeting in Pendleton last week at the home of Mrs Charles Anderegg. Other officers include Mrs. Walter Hayes, vice-president ; Mrs. Frank Marlow. secre tary: and Mrs. Ralph Ear wood, treasurer. Guests at the meeting , in cluded Mrs. Royal Cambers of Pendleton, Blue Mountain District of Garden Clubs chairman: and Alma Rohr man of Pendleton, district secretary-treasurer. Others were Mrs. Nate Macomber of Pendleton, and Mrs. George Sicard of Boardman. Mrs. Sicard was taken in as a new member of Ihe club. Mrs. Ball opened the meet ing by reading "The Legend of the Easier Egg."

Also discussing the metric system with the council was Kendrick J. Simila, weights and measures program di rector with the Dairy and Consumer Services Division of the Oregon Department of Agriculture. Simila said there were now 17 bills in Congress on the conversion to the metric system. He said it is expected that after passage of a bill converting to the new system there would be a two-year conversion planning period and an additional 10 years for complete conversion. He predicted that some states would be using the metric system before it was in national use. Noting that in 1866 Congress passed a bill legally recognizing the metric system, Simila said one area where it could be expected to begin to first appear was in gasoline sales. The increasing price of gasoline, Simila said, would probably bring the conver sion, since a substantial num ber of present day gasoline pumps are not equipped to compute the higher prices. He said that in anticipation of the switch to the metric system, many would probably decide to eliminate the cost of the intermediate step of adjusting pumps to compute higher per gallon prices Simila noted that liquified petroleum gas in the vapor state is now being sold bv metric units. elects flower.
