They must plan to major in home economics in their junior and senior years. Additional information and scholar ship applications are available from county extension agents or the state 4-H club office. Quick Freezing Preserves Fish f» • Quick freezing extra fish, salmon in particular, is a good way to pre serve them for future use, says Co lumbia County Extension Agent Mar garet Allyn. Cut up the fish in the desired size pieces and place in suitable con tainers. Place in freezer and freeze the fish solid before adding water. After the fish is frozen solid, fill the container with water so all portions of the fish are covered with at least one half inch of water and freeze. When both the fish and the water are placed in the container at the some time, the fish freezes very slowly and large ice crystals are formed in the flesh. When the fish is thawed the ice crystals melt, mak ing the flesh soft and flabby — and some of the good juices are last. Quick freezing fish in airtight bags is also a good way to preserve extra fish. It is fast, takes less freezer space, and if the bag is air tight, will preserve the fish at least for six months.

Don Cadwell, special representa tive of the Oregon AFL-CIO, describ ed to delegates the place that the state AFL-CIO, the county and area labor councils, such as the Columbia county body and local unions, play in the voter registration drive and the Ballot Measure No. 3 education al campaign. Cadwell informed the delegates of what is contained in the ballot meas ure to be voted upon at the Novem ber 3 general election. Briefly, this is what is involved. The protection ot the present exclusive state work men’s compensation law would be extended to some 200,000 employed persons in the state not now covereo by it, increase benefits generally by 18.5 percent, extend the time for which an injured workman can ap ply for increased compensation from the present two to five years, free employers from suit under the em ployers’ liability act, permit employ ers to insure jointly and increase the benefits of those injured in earli er years. Cadwell referred to a study made of administrative costs of insurance coverage for workmen under private auspices and the cost, paid out of the employer’s premium dollar, un der state coverage. This study, he said, revealed that whereas some 38 cents of the premium dollar went for administrative costs under pri vate insurance, the administrative cost paid out of the employer’s prem ium dollar under state coverage was only seven cents.
