When the history of this area, and southwest Oregon is written in H.il. the name of John VanPelt is likely to be prominently men tioned in many places, for his father, for whom his was named, came to Corry county in 1853, became a part of the building of the west where he left his descendents. Maybe John VanPelt never did anything to blazen headlines on the press of the country, but he had accomplished much in a sec tion which .was little known to the outside world. John VanPelt reared his family in a way which speaks for itself. He did his part in all things just as much as if he had been a statesman. 1 Oregon Can Develop Its Resources 1 a tendency toward duplication in governmental agencies. Certainly in recent years that trend has pyramided to a new and quite as ( 1 ( 1 ( I 1 ( ( < 1 1 1 1 ( ( I i £ r 5 1 1 I In a democracy there always is and perhaps always has been tounding rate and extent. However, to the Pilot there is one ray of sunshine, hope as it were, that the upward trend is about to be broken, changed right here in the state of Oregon. Oregon is one of the few remaining states in the union which has most of its resources yet untouch, yet to develop. None, fori that matter, have been actually developed to any great extent. | At this same moment, too, Oregon is faced with and experiencing a problem of immigration, likes of which has never beet, seen in the history of the nation, not excepting the first settlements in the west in the middle nineteenth century. This deserves thought. Oregon’s resources, as yet quite undeveloped, and in many cases, untouched, are being faced with exploitation, faced with ruin, un-' less careful consideration is placed on the handling of these re- souices to do the most good to the most people. i Oregon citizens are urged to study a forthcoming measure to create an Oregon “Resources Board,’ under which all resources will come to be devolepd correctly, to be used with wisdom. The Pilot urges its readers to obtain a copy of this proposed measure, study its contents and at the coming general election in November to act in the way which will bring Oregon into its own in the world’s economy by voting for creation of this resources board for the people of this great state. More will be said of this! Bulb Growers Are “Business Men“ The Pilot was reminded, last Wednesday evening, of a definite change to the good being experienced in this area, when the bulb' growers of three states met in the first quarterly meeting of Pacific; Bulb Growers Association. The Pilot noted these things: Today, bulb growers see the value of uniting, of planning, of1 their and nlarting stock. The growers today seek more and more the now methods of bulb culture better to produce the best product. Bulb growers today see tht side of the florist and are now striv ing to breome his “fellow-worker.’’ Growers toda> think more in terms of economics and reasearch i ntheis business, so as to produce the crop at a point nt ai ( the peak, yet within reach of the common people. Pacific Bulb Growers Association has accomplished almost the impossible it has unified the industry and will keep it free from exploitation. Better floriculture will be the goal. Gone is that individualism that wrecked the industry in 1917. and in its place has risen stability, has come a business. Florists ail over the world should be proud of the association, and should cultivate its acquaintance henceforth. ready for any of that type of 11:00 a. m. Young People — Saturday at work.

APRIL 27. 1950 BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT, BROOKINGS, OREGON PAGE TWO ...The World’s Best Climate By Dewey People on their knees, follow ing long rows of lilies, seems to be the picture one sees while driving about the area these days —after more than a week of rain less skies. Rains of the past few months have made everything in the ground grow out of hand. It will be no small task to over come this head start. Lilies, and other floral crops of the area now seems to be stabilized so that I personally predict that the state and the] entire west will soon look to this immediate area for its flowers— especially in the winter. Growers in this area, now, are more in clined to work as a unit than they were a few years ago. It is therefore my prediction that flowers will become a million dollar crop in this county soon.] I was more than gratified lasti Wednesday evening to note the new harmony existing among the bulb growers of the three west ern states. Washington, Oregon and California. It was refresh ing to see how each accepted the problems of others as problems of their very own. To me that means that stability has come to stay, and to grow. / noted, too, how everyone in the industry was interested in maintaining a certain production scale, how all were so interested in the improvement of the floral crops, and how the group was tryiing to understand the prob lems of the greenhouses and the trying to understand the prob- of this area. I am confident now, that there will be a unity and eventual big growth of this area.l NOTICE Church of Christ Star of the Sea Dr. Silvia Challoner Catholic Church Rev. *Fr.
