OCWD Likely to Collect from Water Users for Pumping from SA Basin It now appears that the Orange county water district will be the agency employed to administer whatever method is designed for fairly spreading the cost of Colorado river water imported to replenish the local basin. The OC water district cannot function in such capacity as now constituted, because it lacks the powers under its state enabling act to do the things that will have to be done. Therefore, some legal surgery at Sacramento is indicated. Attorneys are now at work tinkering with prospective amendments to the water district act, which will provide necessary legal machinery for tapping the purses of water users equitably. Whether these amendments will be general in their character, giving the water district the right to work out a financial program and apply it, or will expressly outline the exact method of financing to be followed has not yet been disclosed. There is some indication that the amendments will be limited and exact in their provisions. Legislative counsel in Sacramento is said to be considering methods of distributing the cost of imported water. As noted before this, local thinking on the subject has leaned toward the plan of having everybody in the basin pay for the water used from the basin, according to volume used. At present there are some users, like the strawberry growers, who pump an immense amount of water for their crops. Yet they pay no more tax proportionately to the water district than the users who pump much less. Considering the question of payments according to use, the most simple method suggested has been the placing of meters on each well pump in the basin. That would give a quick and exact answer to the question of how much water had been used and how much should be paid. It would simplify bookkeeping and eliminate ground for argument. But of course some lawyers like argument, so the Sacramento attorneys, according to report, are scoring simplicity. They are toying with a nicely complicated formula of arriving at water use through acreage planted, power bills and whatnot. Such a formula, at best, would give no better than a fairly close estimate of water use, and perhaps not even a close one. But it should lay the groundwork for some beautiful disputes and dissatisfaction. Wouldn't you know it? The meter idea, of course, may not be as simple as it sounds. It would mean a lot of jobs for meter readers, maybe. But that's the way the gas company measures gas consumption, not by the number of heaters in the house, or the temperature of the rooms. That is also the way of the power company measures consumption of electricity, not by the wattage of the bulbs, the number of pieces of toast consumed, or the size of the TV screen.

Salvation Army 'Boiling Pots' put in Pre-Christmas Appearance One of the surest harbingers of Christmas, the traditional Salvation Army "boiling pot" with the bell makes annual appearance on downtown street corner this week. The unique collection device for more than 50 years serves a reminder to the shopping public that Christmas happiness in giving more than in reeling. Through the medium of the "boiling pots" and in the generous response of the public through the malls, the Salvation Army annually helps more than a million needy Americans to know the real meaning of Christmas. "There are many families living on the very rim of their income who would not have one cent with which to provide the needed extra helping of Christmas cheer for their families; and there are thousands of others who have virtually no income at all," Lt. Col. George W. Johnstone, Southern California Salvationist commander explained. "The Salvation Army plans to provide budget assistance for the mothers of needy families according to the size of the family and the extent of the need. "Our organization will also provide many thousands of 'sunshine bags' containing attractive gifts for distribution in military and general hospitals, and we plan an extensive program of Christmas cheer for the aged, the unattached man, men and women in armed services, prisoners and their families and others." Col. Johnstone appealed to the public for funds with which to perform these widespread services. Christmas donations may be sent to the local Salvation Army office, or to 832 W.

Los A "IF IT HAS WI Boneless Turkeys Look Like Footballs NEW YORK UP—Frozen, boneless turkey, which look something like a football, have been introduced by a midtown specialty shop. The turkeys are from 5 to 8½ pounds of solid meat, 70 per cent white and 30 per cent dark. In their preparation, only one inclusion is made in the skin and the bones are removed without cutting the flesh. The boned meat is stuffed back inside the skin, which then is sewn together. Finally the turkeys are quick frozen. The White Holland farm, Whitman, Mass., which produces as many as 100,000 turkeys a year, has been experimenting with the boning process for several years. Cooperating in the project were several agricultural schools, including those of Massachusetts State college and Cornell university. LENOX, Ia.
