SCRAM lets you lose
yourself in scenery
SCRAM usually means
leave, pet lost, or some other
phrase used in todays slang
language. In this instance
SCRAM means new acquaint
ances, excitement, and adven
ture for all ages.
SCRAM is the initials for
"Senior Citizens Roaming
Around the Map." It is a
non-profit organization, based
in Pendleton, offering various
tours at low cost. All profit
from the tours goes into
foster-grandparent and senior "
citizens groups to help fund
their programs, said a group
spokesperson.
In 1980 over 600 people spent
a week in Hawaii, basking in
the sunshine of the Islands,
visiting the historical places of
World War II. and attending
the functions which depicted
the history and cultrual back
ground of the original Hawai
ian natives. This tour is
included in the trip destina
tions again this October for
many who were unable to go
last year.
The schedule started Feb. 24
with two successful trips to
Reno, Nevada. More will be
offered at a later date.
On April 20 and 27 there will
be trips to the Oregon Coast,
staying at the Inn at Spanish
Head, with many other events
planned.

Now for a little cooler
climate, how about a trip
through the Canadian Roc
kies, inside passage to Alaska,
and the scenic beauty of the
Yukon Territory? For this
exciting adventure be ready to
go in August and September.
If you would prefer to go
farther south where there is
warm weather similiar to
Hawaii, join a trip to Mazat
lan. Mexico, where an exciting
eight-day schedule is planned
for October and November.
In June there will be a
special tour to Seattle. Wash.,
to visit the Bishop Museum to
see the exhibit sent from
Hawaii to Seattle. It includes
fascinating material from
early Hawaiian culture and
history. Also included is a tour
of Seattle, a visit to Victoria .
by ship and a visit to the
Butchart Gardens.
All of SCRAM tours include
transportation, motel, two
meals a day, and all planned
events and shows. According
to SCRAM, all you need is
your own spending money.
The group says it offers
quality travel for less cost.

the top five contestants from
all over Oregon prepare their
carefully selected beef micro

expert judges. An added bonus
to watching the cook -off. will
be a cooking demonstration by

eued Kurtz. In addition to
Barbara Harris the judges for
this year's contest are Rich

teacher and columnist for the
Orogonian. and Yvonne
Rothert. food editor at the
Oregonian.
The five finalists and their
recipes are Dandle Waggon-
She and husband. Dorvnperate

The idea of the contest has
been to promote the use of the
soft white winter wheal grown
in Oregon.
Oregon's wheat flour is best
for cakes, quick breads,
pastries, crackers and
noodles, says Miller. Bread
flour is made from high-gluten
wheat grown elsewhere in the
country.
Wheathearts cake contest
recipes have included all
kinds of cakes, but the favorite
always seems to be chocolate,
says Miller.
"Every time we have some
thing besides chocolate, the
men ask when are we going to
have a chocolate cake, she
says with a lagh.
The Red Devils Food Cake
features brown sugar, butter
milk and unsweetened choco
late, with red food coloring for
a rich appearance. The choco
late confectioners' sugar fros
ting has the added touches of
egg yolk and cream.

Every tiller
tells a story
Every wheat plant has a
story to toll about its short but
sometimes stressful life.'
Now. two federal research
ers are learning to "read" the
story of the wheat plant's life
by studying its rooted branch
es, called tillers
What the researchers learn
may help growers change
certain methods to help the
plants develop as many
healthy tillers as possible. The
tillers in turn will produce
more kernel-filled beads.
Oregon's wheat farmers,
through the Oregon Wheat
Commission. have given
$6,000 to researchers Betty
Klepper and Ron Hickman, to
help speed up their study at
the Columbia Plateau Conser
vation Research Center near
Pendlton.
Klepper and Kickman have
found that there is a certain
pattern to the appearance of
the three or four tillers in a
wheat plant.
F'or the soft white winter
wheat grown in the Northwest,
tillers begin to appear a few
weeks after being planted in
the fall. The first tiller
appears on one side of the
plant, the second on the
opposite side, the third on the
same side as the first, and so
on.
If a plant's tillers don't fit
that pattern -if it skips a tiller
or if a tiller dies - that is a sign
of stress.
Preliminary studies show
that tiller development gener
ally is controlled by warm
weather -- the warmer the
weather, the faster the tillers
grow. But other controllable
factors, such as seedbed
moisture and nitrogen supply,
can modify the tiller response
to temperature.
Klepper and Hickman can
look at a weather chart now
and predict the number of
tillers that should be on the
growing wheat. At the same
time, they can look at the tiller
pattern in a plant and tell at
which time the plant exper
ienced stress. Knowing the
time, they often can toll just
what caused the stress.
And knowing what can
influence the development of
tillers may help growers
"trick" the wheal plant into
developing more tillers.

How to get rid
of line coil
Line coil is as much a part of
monofilumcni fishing line a
rod and reel are part of fishing.
CoiU occur when wet line is
reeled in, dries on the reel, and
tukes a set in thai position. On
thai first cast with line lhat
husn't been used for a while,
hirdsncsts and snarls can oflcn
result.
According lo experts at the
DuPoni Company, moisture
and tension arc good methods lo
remove lhat coiling tendency.
They advise soaking the line for
an hour or two hctore a fishing
trip, or Idling it oul behind the
boat and trolling il lo a fishing
spot. Otherwise, tension can be
used by ticing the line oft lo a
summary object like a tree or
car bumper and subjecting the
line lo a scries of hardy pulls.
