Pinkham Tablets and Liquid Compound 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 Heading for rough country... strange roads?

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. 220 East Pina St. Cantra!

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.
