1/2 c. softened butter
1 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 c. oats
1/4 c. water
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 c. strawberries
1/2 c. sugar

Cream together the butter and brown sugar, then add the flour and baking soda and mix well. Stir in the oats and the water and pat half of this batter into a greased 13x9 inch pan.

In another bowl mix together the strawberries and sugar, mashing the berries slightly so that the juice runs. Spread the berries over the first layer of batter in pan and top with remaining batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes and cut into bars after cooling.
