Optimism and self-assurance I
buoy the comments of John
Mosser when he discusses his
new position as chairman of
the State Sanitary Authority,
that agency charged with the
awesome task of preventing,
controlling and reducing Oregon
air and water pollution.
One reason for his confidence
is the new set of administrative
and legal tools given the author
ity by the 1967 legislature.
Another is, simply, that there
is great hope for maintaining
Oregon’s livability standards
because our air and water qua
lity problems have not reached
the discouraging proportions
faced by many other states.
Mosser’s appointment early
this month by Gov. Tom McCall
to succeed himself generally
is regarded as excellent. As a
Portland lawyer, former state
r e p r e s e n t a t i v e and most
recently this state’s Director of
F in a n c e and Administration,
Mosser has earned a reputation
as a quiet dynamo, a man who
gets things done. He typically
is referred to as “b r i 11 i a n t,”
“c o u r a g e o u s ,” one who“can
spot a hole in an argument a
block away.”
Right now, he sees Oregon’s
pollution problems as stem
ming from laxity and «short
sightedness. Just as on the
national level, we simply have
ignored the problem until it is
no longer possible to look the
other way.
He also sees public and gov
ernment reaction to such an
awakening as rather typical:
“We see the technological
possibility of having something
and, like an impulse shopper,
we decide to buy it tomorrow,”
says Mosser. “I think we should
compare solutions more to buy
ing a house than buying a shirt;
this involves decisions, sacri
fice and budgeting, over a period
of time. The federal interstate
highway system shows what can
be done with planning of this
kind.”
According to Mosser, the
Oregon State Sanitary Authority
needs both a firm policy to deal
with existing problems and a
more fixed, long-range policy to
prevent undesirable situations.
He notes he was charged by the
governor to “hold, clean up and
roll back pollution without de
cimating jobs.”
Such an assignment presents
far from a black-and-white pic
ture, Mosser says Realistically
in taking the long-term app
roach to pollution control we
are going to have to live with
some continuation of current
problems, The question, basic
ally, revolves around just how
much of a price Oregonians
are willing to pay.
“We can’t eliminate industry,
and nobody wants to. We can’t
eliminate automobiles, and no
body wants to.” Mosser says in
areas such as Portland, motor
vehicles create about 50 per
cent of air pollution.
Speaking of automobile ex
haust, he
says he thinks
correction a p p r o a c h e s have
been too n a r r o w and will
broaden. We could cut fuel
consumption to levels more
typical of foreign cars, he
believes, but more likely we will
see changes in vehicle energy
sources or in the internal
combustion engine.
Because of many diverse
causes, air pollution will take
longer to clean up than Oregon
waters, the new Sanitary Auth
ority chairman believes. In

water, he thinks we should
define exactly what we want to
use it for - - fish life? Drinking?
Swimming? - - then determine
where we are and set definite
target dates for attaining goals.
Again stressing the need for
long-range policy, Mosser says
he is wrestling with a critical
philosophical question concern
ing Oregon’s economic develop
ment. Can we, he asks, now get
by with requiring only so much
of a new Industry, for example,
and then in five year develop
a new, tougher code and go back
and impose it on the original
industry?
“I think it’s better to get
tough right now,” he answers,
“and to anticipate and develop
long-range requirements ahead
of their needed application.”
The
Sanitary Authority,
hampered in recent years by
tight funds and staff, has dealt
primarily with brushfire situa
tions. Under the reorganization
and increased budget approved
by the 1967 legislature, Mosser
anticipates more attention can
be devoted to bigger, long-
range Issues.
The authority now has more
staff people, and more staff
freedom in recruiting. Mosser
believes Oregon is in a good
position to bid for technical
personnel in an increasingly
c o m p e ti v e
market. Part
icularly
because Oregon’s
pollution problems are more
encouraging toward success
than overwhelming.
Money is not the only answer
he is quick to point out. Much
action depends upon the availa
bility
of qualified people,
availability of federal matching
funds and other such factors.
But the new Sanitary Authority
budget, “though tight, is vastly
improved and offers a real
chance to progress.”
Mosser noted that the author
ity is soliciting voluntary pro
fessional help, among engineers
accountants, industry leaders,
in the cleanup battle. The
Oregon Museum of Science and
Industry also has offered its
help in conducting surveys, and
Mosser
feels many critical
needs can be
met without
budget strain.
With its new chairman, stru
cture, budget and a battery of
new ant-pollution laws to back
it up. The Sanitary Authority
should satisfy many public de
mands
for cleaner air and
water. Secretary of the Interior
Stewart
Udall
last week
announced that Oregon is one of
only three states to comply with
new federal water quality stan
dards. John Mosser, for one, is
determined to keep Oregon in
the lead.

DREAMLAND
RE-OPENS
The Dreamland Ballroom has
been re-modeled and is beauti
ful once again as it was when
Mr. Amos Clark Walker Sr.
operated it many years ago.
When Mr. Walker was living
the B a llr o o m
was Indeed
dreamy-the l i g h t s dimmed-
happy people hummed the music
as they danced and many of us
liv in g in Medford today re
member dancing there with
nostalgia. So it will indeed be a
joyful occassion when the Ball
room opens August 5th with
dancing from ( 9 p.m. until
1 a.m. )
Every Saturday
night.
There will be an excellent
orchestra providing modern and
old fashioned dance music. The
, Ballroom is huge in size and
there is plenty of room tor
pleasant dancing on a wonderful
floor. So come on everyone -
lets have fun.
Three elder residents have
taken the responsibility and
done the work of remodeling this
building completely on their
own. There is no sponsor. The
reason these people have done
this is to raise money to even
tually build a Senior Citizens
Building for the older people
of Jackson County so that they
may have a meeting place of
their own. There are approxi
m ate y 26,000 people over 50
years of age in the valley. The
names of the three who have
donated their work, time and
id e a s are M r. and ,M rs.
Charles Stripling and Mr. Dean
Mather.

TIMELY ITEMS
“Timely Items” published by
the Public Service Company of
Colorado, recently stated that
an orange grower in California
has been experimenting with
connecting his trees into a 58
bolt electrical system. The ele
ctrical charge make the trees
add new growth to old branches.
The University of California is
also experimenting with ele
ctricity to pick oranges. By
giving orange trees a jolt of
electricity, the ripe fruit drops
off while the green stays on.
Tests are also being conducted
electrically on vegetable and
graiq crops.Electriclty works
on some vegetables and grains
by accelerating growth, while
it will retard growth on other
crops.
