Water Outlook in Oregon Not Good
Portland U.R) The 1957
water supply outlook in Oregon
is not good.
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.

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.
