That was the report today of the Soil Conservation Service and the Oregon Agricultural Ex periment Station. They said only slightly more than half of the normal amount of snow cover was now present in the mountains. Some areas have less than half of the normal cover. Stored water supplies were said to be mostly above average. Water content of mountain snow cover as measured at 83 snow courses averages 56 per cent normal as compared' with last year at this date when it was 140 per cent. Snow cover is all at higher elevation. Normally, about 35 to 40 per cent of the total winter's snow is accumulated by Jan. 1. In order to provide average water supplies this year, the remaining winter months will have to pro duce much above-normal snow fall the two groups said. Burnard and Barbara Giberson; Grants Pass,.

Life as Comedian's Wife Like Any Other Assignment By WILLIAM EWALD United Pren Staff Correspondent New York (U.R) What's it like to be married to' a come dian? Well, according to Mariain Paar, wife of Jack Paar, it's just like any other connubial assignment except that your husband is apt to wake you up at two in the morning to test out a joke. "We're a pretty closely knit family Jack, myself and our seven-year-old daughter. Randy," said Mrs. Paar today. "We don't Tighter Law on Watered Milk To Go To Legislature Corvallis KU.P.) Dairymen gathering here for the 63rd an nual convention of the Oregon Dairymen's association learned today that legislation is being drafted to strengthen the law against putting water in milk. O. K. Beals, chief of the foods and dairy division of the State Department of Agriculture, said a proposed law being drafted for submission to the legislature would make possession of wa tered milk prima facie evidence of an intent to sell it. Now Must Be Caught j Prosecutors have contended, that the present law requires dairyman to be caught in the act of watering his milk before he can be prosecuted. George Hostetler, Redmond, president of the association, said he doubted that watering of milk was a common practice on Oregon dairies but that it hap pened frequently enough to point up the need for a stronger law. To Hear Proposals The association membership also was scheduled to hear pro posals to increase a tax levy by the Oregon Dairy Products com mission to bring in some S210, 000 per year to promote the use of more dairy products. Don E. Anderson, Oregon State college dairy specialist, said in a pre-convention state ment that Oregon dairymen would have to streamline their operations if they are to meet the competition of outside pro ducing areas. Trend Growing to Top-Level Help Chicago (U.R) The American Municipal Association says there is a growing trend toward pro viding mayors with top-level ad ministrative help. But the trend apparently doesn't carry over into" giving uniform names to these jobs. The association said that with in the past five years at least 10 cities have created top adminis trative posts and that there are nine different names for the job. Salisbury, Md., has an execu tive secretary. Los Angeles a city administrative officert Philadel phia a managing director. St. Cloud, Minn., an administrative officer. New York City a city ad ministrator. Boston a director of the department of administra tive services. Newark. N. J., a business administration. New Or leans a city administrative offi cer. Renton. Wash., an office con troller and Lincoln. Neb., a city coordinator. Two electric motors with ca paciaies of 65.000 horsepower have been installed in the Grand Coulee dam in Washington for the purpose of pumping for ir rigation projects. live the sort of life people think celebrities lead. "Jack is a great one for slay ing close to our Westchester home. He doesn't stay up late, he intensely dislikes cocktail parties and he hates coming into New York City." Offbeat Moments Still, Mrs. Paar confessed, their domestic life does have its offbeat moments. "I'm his sounding board," she said. "Whenever he has a new joke or a new bit, he tries it out on me first. Sometimes, he'll think of something while he's dreaming and he'll wake me up to ask me if it's funny. "It's gotten to the point where I have to keep a pencil and paper by the bedside to write his jokes down. However, when we wake up in the morn ing, they usually don't sound so funny as they did the night before." Right now. Jack pilots a 15 minute chatter show on ABC radio, a program in which Mrs. Paar and Randy also partici pate. It's beamed from the Paar's 10-room home in the suburbs. "So far. Jack hasn't really used me too much," confessed Mrs. Paar. "But, he has used lots of Randy. Occasionally, he'll tape records a bit with Randy during the day to insert on the show, she's been on stage with Jack since her diapers. Porter Asigned To Committee Job Washington (U.R) Rep.
