If anyone believes in witch craft, they might try sticking pins in a voodoo doll replica of the weatherman. Not that it would do much good, but then, what would? Probably quite a few resi dents are more than a little perturbed with the beautiful "white rain" that descended on the Canyon area Monday. A lot of people thought the "winter coat" which covered the ground was quite pretty, until traveling on the roads became hazartkius. Of course, children were thril led with prospect» of plenty of "snow-fun,” and probably the thought of “no school" crossed their minds. Early Monday evening, quite a few Gates area residents were “blacked out” (or should it be "whited out") when the power failed. Homes dependent upon electricity for heat be came even more frigid when thg wind came up later In the even ing. Snow depth on King's Prai rie was approximately eight inches by 10 p. m., which drifts up to two feet deep.

Norblad said that hla bill "would amend the .Social Se curity Act to Increase torn $1,- 200 to $2,400 the amount of out side earnings permitted each year with deductions from So cial Security benefits. The pre sent limitation of $1,200 is much too low and unrealistic Many of our Social Security retirees need, and are able to earn more money and I think it is incred ible that they should be penal ized if they can cam more than $1,200 a year as is the case under present law.” Norbal said further that— "under the present high cost of living our .Social Security re tirees sixHild not be prevented from earning more than $1.200 a year if they are able and de sire to do so.” Mi and Mrs Ed Castle were In Portland 'niuiwlay to attend funeral »»rvlcea for hla sisUr- ln-law, Mrs. Anna Castle, who died in a San Francisco hoaplt- al.

Grade School Basket Ball Boys To See Harlem Globe Trotters This gallons the U. culture crease The outlook tor 1963 water supplies In tlw Willamette Val ley is only fair as of thia early date, according to a report re leased today by W. T. Frost. Snow Survey Supervisor for U. S. Department of Agriculture. Soil Conservation Service, co operating with Oregon State University and State Engineer. Snow cover is aliarnt below 4, XX) feet elevation and mea surements at higher elevations indicate one of the poorest year» on record. Snow measurements at key courses along the Cascades show only 16 percent of the January 1 average for the 1943- 57 period and only 12 percent of the »now measured last yr ar at this time. Warmer than normal temperatures have melted the »now below 4.500 feet and valley precipitation has been a little below average for the October-December jieriod. Watershed »«»11» have been fairly well primed by melting snow at higher elevations and by near average fall rains low er on the watershed and should favor runoff. The aix multi-purpose rrser- voira on Willamette tributaries arc operated according to a I prearrange«! flcxxl control plan 1 by the U S. Corps of Army En gineers n>e»e reservoirs will ' be tilled as runoff begins this spring. Streamflow during December was 82 percent of the 1943-57 average on th« Middle Fork of the Willamette (preliminary data from U. S. Geological Sur vey. Fortland). The October flow was about 31 percent above average with the November fkrw about average, making the average for the period Octob er-December 95 percent. Statewide, the early winter outlook for Oregon's 1963 irri gation water supplies is fair. .Snow cover, in measurable amounts, is found only at high elevations and surveys there range from 0 to 33 percent of the usual January 1 snow-water amounts. Reservoir storage is much better than last year at this time and. coupled with good soil moisture conditions over most of the state, is like ly to be the safety factor need ed to offset a low snow year. Fortunately, there are still two to three months remaining to improve this low snowpack. The next report on snow sur veys and water supply condi tions will be issued on Febru ary 8.
