Vernonia Freedom — Page 7 Thursday February Ì2,1981 Future looking brighter for depressed Oregon timber industry continued from page 2 Bob Anderson, director of marketing for the American Plywood Association, is not quite as optimistic. He is estimating about 1.4 million housing starts for 1981. But he is optimistic. He adds another reason why things will improve. “I’m optimistic about the new administration,’’ says Anderson. “I feel Mr. Reagan will use his first 100 days very effectively to create confidence among the public. I foresee cuts in government spending, tax reductions and positive steps toward getting action by Congress. These will all invite p reduction in inflationary expectations.’’ While most economists are saying home buyers will have to live with mortgage rates at 12 or 13 percent, Anderson says they can come down if inflation is reduced. Mortgage loans can be held to two or three percent above inflation, he says. So, if inflation can be held to five percent a year, we could see mortgage rates back down to seven or eight percent. Housing starts have been stressed because they play a strong role in the well being of Oregon’s forest industry. But there are other markets which keep mills going even when new housing construction slows. Industrial construction, remodeling and expansion of existing home, non- residential. construction and export markets can all keep mills operating in slow periods and improve marketing during favorable periods. The export market for lumber and plywood offers strong potential. As western producers of wood products are cut off from large eastern markets because of high transportation costs and competition from the southern forest industry and Canada, exports Gulka to speak to Vernonia SDA's by R.
