Steering Committee Forms For Retired and Aging Over the past few weeks sev. eral professional and lay peo ple of various civic and relig ious groups In the community have been meeting In an effort to Identify and probe Into some of the concerns of retired peo ple, those preparing for (near- lng) retirement and those peo ple who are generally concern ed about older people, whether they be family or friends. The committee recognizes the fact that retired people are and will be moving Into the com- minlty more and more to es tablish their homes, and are also recognizing the fact that they are and will continue to be a valuable resource In the growth and development of the community. The following is sues have been discussed;Nam. ely the desirability and possi bility of conducting a series of Informative seminars and-or field tripe geared to their spec ial concerns, Interests and prob lem s sometime this fall or win ter as a service to all Inter- ested people In the community. These events would be geared to enable all to more clearly recognize the value and poten tial of older people In the com. munlty. Perhaps these semin a rs would be of some assistan- ce to people In enabling them to express themselves In new ways and capitalize on the freedom to choose and direct their life patterns In these new years in our community. A Steering Committee on Re tirement and Aging has been established to effect the plan ning for this commmlty effort. It Is hoped that the seminars will be based upon as broad an awareness of the Interests, concerns and problems of re tired people tai the community as possible. Therefore a quea. t tlonnalre will be circulated per- sonally to a cross section of older people In the community in the Immediate future. It will contain a self-addressed, stamp- ed envelope for convenience In returning them. The Informa tive seminars will be largely planned on the basis of data received from the question naires. Any questions of expressions of Interest may be directed to the Rev. Don Parsons, at Zion Lutheran Church.

School Open House Dated Port Orford’s Oregon State University marine research fa cility at the former coast Guard station has its first major pro ject since offlclaUy becoming a part of the OSU campus. Three Oregon utility companies have gtven OSU $97,535 for a three- year study of the possibilities of using heated water for oys- ter and salmon farming. The flrm s-Eugene Water and Electric Board, Pacific Power & Light Co., and Portland Gen eral Electric Co. w ill pay equal ly for the study which wlU be integrated with the University’s Sea Grant Programs. Dr. Wil liam J. McMell, head of the Pacific F isheries Laboratory at the OSU Marine Science Cen ter In Newport, will be project director. McNeil will head the salmon research, which will emphasize work on chum salmon, and In clude studies of pink and Chin ook salmon and eventually sal- mon hybrids. Research will be tied In with McNeil’s chum hatchery pro gram at Netarts Bay which Is supported by Sea Grant, Nation al Marine F ish eries Services and the State Fish Commission. There, McNeil Is testing the feasibility of open sea ranch ing of chum salmon. Wilbur P. Breese, oyster scientist at the Marine science Center who helped develop a pilot hatchery, will be In charge of the heated water work here which emphasizes the Pacific oyster. He will test the feasi bility of using heated sea water to set up nursery system s to receive young oysters and hold them until ready for planting In estuaries and a factory sys tem designed to grow oysters to market size. Hie work ties In with research at Newport where the potential of produc ing hatchery seed has been test ed. The advantage of working at Port orford, McNeil said, is being able to pump clean water directly from the ocean, the same type water coastal power stations would use, rather than bay water. Electricity will be used to heat the sea water. Hie laboratory here, a former boat house, Is being changed to add more electric power. This winter a former communica tions building on the bluff will be converted into a heated lab oratory.
