He reminded toe group that "re cords disclose that a frost of 28 de grees or lower can occur any month In the year," ana urged that a land development program be approach ed from the standpoint of things now known, not what is hoped lor. In presenting data on the ground water supply, . R. C. Newcomb, geologist. U. S. Ooelogical 8urvey. Portland, referred to the Fort Rock valley as an old lakebed and stated tnat tne water taoie lies, in large part of the Valley floor. Withdrawals irom wells being pumped around 1000 acre feet annually has made no hole In the water table," he said, "and pre- liminary rough estimate indicates that pumping 50 or 60 thousand acre feet would probably not de press the water table." He recom mended that wells be spread out. not confined to a small area which could make a hole in the water table. - As a result, the group stated for the record that "according to existing data, water is available for more than 30,000 acres of Ir rigation." In discussing viand capabilities and what must be done to keen tne iana producing, mi currier grazing specialist, Bend, described types of soils prevalent in the area and assured the group that the valley has easily 30,000 acres of the deeper, better type soil.

' Semon Is Speaker At Realty Meet Henry Semon, veteran legislator, was principal speaker at the Klam ath Board of Realtors' regular luncheon meeting. The subject of I bis talk was OTI and its value and importance to our community. In bringing the subject up to date Semon gave a brief history of the school from Its earliest be ginnings. As early as 1941, inter ested citizens. and legislators felt that Oregon, needed one or more trade schools to absorb the high percentage of high school grad uates not attending college. Edu cators estimate that only 18 or 20 per cent of the high scnooi graduates go to college and of this group only 16 per cent graauaic. When the planned source of re venue failed to materialize the trade school Idea was dropped un til 1947 when returning World War II veterans provided a real need ior a vocational school. The Marine Barracks was offer ed to the state and both the board of higher education and the state board of education were approacnea to take the site ana estaonsn a fu-hnni. The b o a t d of higher ed ucation was not Interested but the state board was willing to take the responsibility for establishing a school at this spot. The story has been told many times of the time, money and ef forts expended by educators,: In terested citizens and legislators, the result Is a school to be proud of. . '. : Semon brought out the fact that OTI is the only school of Its kind west of the Rockies, where, contrary to what Multnomah county legis lators say, the costs are less per finished student than any other college in the state. The (State board of education values the school plant at 64 mil lion and the 1953-54 appropriation amounted to approximately 1'4 million. This amount, plus the money spent by over 600 students and 45 Instructors, most of whom are local, residents, Is spent In our community. Eemon stressed the fact that the operation of OTI depends on appro priation - by legislature every two years and It Is the duty of ettlaena of this community to work toward this goal. . ..vie-1 --..tavi a ..v.s4r" ' .,oat iF IiiT. -- A. .W j ' ' ft' n-k l 1 the cations In look Set tVS from dflcspa 'in atof Uie cltv riiirin fh nr.
