Hatfield Speaks At Conference;
OCA Accomplishments Noted
Tna O-egon Coast Associa­
tion wound up Its 36th annual
convention In Coos Bay Saturday
with a noon luncheon at which
Governor M ark O. Hatfield was
the featured epeaker. Gov. H at­
field praised the OCA for doing
a fine Job of tourist and re c­
reation promotion In the coast­
al areas of Oregon He said that
the State was also doing a fine
i Ion Job lu t that the
State's lim ited ludget could not
provide all the advertising nec­
essary. The active participation
of individual local and regional
groups, such as the Oregon
Coast Association, are greatly
needed to provide support and
stimulus to this Important por­
tion of Oregon's economy, he
pointed out.
Gov. Hatfield also called for
the building of more high quality
tourist facilities and attractions
along the Oregon Coast. He
stated that among the 10 top­
drawing, most popu'ar tourist
attractions In the world, seven
of t h e m are man made. The
Oregon Coaat needs lo Improve
and expand many existing fa­
c ilitie s and attractions and also
needs more such attractions,
said the Governor.
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
E a r lie r Saturday, OCA Man­
ager George Weaver reported a
successful year for the coast
travel group, citing $13,660.00
spent on publicity, advertising
and printed m atter, eight nat­
ionally circulated magazine a r­
ticles about the Oregon Coast,
countless newspaper a t id e s ,
and some paid newspaper ad­
vertising, as some of the oC A 's
1965 accomplishments.
" O t h e r C tA accomplish­
ments include sponsorship of
the " O r e g o n Coast L o o k s
Ahead" conference, some na­
tional T V coverage of the coast­
al areas, and a diligent program
of support for good legislation
and highway Im provem ent," he
said. Goals for the future w ill
I n c l u d e more publicity for
coastal winter activities and
sports, a further increase In

SPORT FISHERY NOTED
Bob Holloway of the Oregon
State Game Commission told
OCA members that the Oregon
Coast sport fishery Is one of
the finest and most potent tour­
ist attractions In the entire
world. He Indicated that every
possible measure should be
taken to preserve and Improve
this great resource and that
more funds arc needed each
year to finance fish conser­
vation an d development pro­
jects. The Game Commission is
currently working on such Im ­
portant p r o j e c t s as stream
clearance and stocking, devel­
opment of ramps and boat ba­
sins, steelhead planting, weed
control and others, according
to Holloway, and the commis­
sion's funds w ill not pay for
all the work to be done. He
stated that an Increase In hunt­
ing and angling licenses w ill be
requested from the legislature
to help pay for needed improve­
ments.
Since the license Increases
requested are now less severe
than those requested of the
last legislature, and the Game
Commission projects are so
important to the coastal ec­
onomy, the Oregon Coast As­
sociation passed a resolution
supporting the commission's
request for license Increases
during Saturday's business ses­
sion, said Weaver.
Other OCA resolutions fa­
vored highway Improvements on
U. S. 101 and 42, the rehabil­
itation of Tenm lle la k e and
other coastal lakes, -.«jiltlon
of the State Individual liquor
perm it law, raising the state
gasoline tax one cent per gal­
lon and auto registrations to
$15 per year, Weaver said.
He also stated the OCA would
ask the State Sanitary Author­
ity to step-up enforcement of
a ir and water pollution statutes
as they apply to Industrial and
domestic pollution.
STRAUB ADDRESSES GROUP
F rid ay, S tateTreasu rer Rob­
ert Straub addressed the con­
vention g r o u p regarding the
preservation of natural beauty
on the Oregon Coast. He said
that sometimes the coastal peo­
ple don’t hilly appreciate the
magnificent and rare nature of
their area and tend to let some
of this re source he destroyed by
poor land use and highway plan­
ning. Straub urged coastal re s i­
dents to do everything In their
power to preserve th eir unique
natural resources. He also said
that more unusual, high quality
facilities such as Sallshanwere
needed on the coast.
L E N T Z EL E C T E D
At the annual election of o f-
oflcers of the OCA held Sat­
urday, Coos County Commis­
sioner Howard B. Lentz J r .
was named president. He vowed

sive trend In OCA programs
