2- HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, January 31. 1963 Consultant Predicts Heavy Growth for State Oregon, with its world-wido reputation for quality product.-!, is destined to grow amazingly in population and industrial devel opment in this decade and in the next quarter century. The prediction of Hubert J. Soher, nationally-recognized con sultant of San Francisco, is the conclusion of a newly published survey-report on Oregon's econ omy, titled "Oregon Today and Tomorrow, An Economic Study of the Quality State." The result of a year's study, the report has been published by Pacific Power & Light Company, in the form of a 60-page book. It will be widely distributed in Oregon and the nation. "Oregon is entering its most dynamic period of growth," Sjher says in the summary and concluding chapter of his 25,000 word illustrated report, which ?s based upon hundreds of personal interviews with leading indus trialists, financiers, educators, federal and Oregon agencies and local officials, editors, chambers of commerce, labor leaders and agriculturalists. 'Made in Oregon' symbolizes (he best", the report states. It adds: The world recognizes such Oregon food products as Southern Oregon's pears, Blue Lake beans of the Willamette Valley Bumble Bee salmon and tuna, from Astoria, Hood River apples and Dickenson jams and jellies. It has become a sports wear capital, thanks to the superb products of Jantzen, White Stag and Pendleton. It is one of the top half dozen research centers of the nation, Its electronics and scien tific instruments industry, spark ed by Tektronix, is exploding in to major industry proportions. Its tourist and convention industry, based upon matchless scenic attractions and modern facilities, is challenging agricul ture as a major income-producing business. Its basic timber products in dustry has passed into better managed and better financed op erations. Its great water and power resources offer great inducement to future expansion of business, and will attract new Industries for an ever expanding market. Commenting on the Soher re port, Paul B. McKee, chairman of the board of directors of I'P&L, said: "We believe the report will help Orogonians to take advan tage of the opportunities and fut me growth indicated by the constructive forces at work in the economy of the state. As the work of an independent consult ant of national stature, the re port will become a valued tool in attracting new investments needed to foster the continued growth of Oregon."

The tourist business will pass the $300,000,000-a-year rate in the 1970's. Fisheries will expand to meet the nation's increasing demand for seafoods. Students in higher education institutions will total 50,000 by 1965-66 and will exceed 30,000 by 1969-70. The state's vast water re sources, ranked second in the na tion, will permit trippling of to day's irrigated crop acreage, and also will attract new industries. The forest industry will con tinue to upgrade its timber pro ducts; the pulp and paper busi ness will expand amazingly. Heavy, light and exotic metals working will continue to grow. The chemical industry will be come increasingly important. Oregon's natural market of 6, 000,000 consumers will expand greatly into California, the West generally, nationally and inter nationally. Commerce, by ship, barge, rail, highway and air, will gain with the economy. West Appointed lo Waterway Post Dewey W. West, Jr., president of the Port of Morrow, has ac cepted an appointment as re gional county vice president for Morrow county of the Inland Empire Waterways association In this capacity he will promote the general program of IEWA in the area. West was born in Arlington and has resided in Boardman since 1943, where he is the owner of Dewey s Chevron Station. In 1948, he was elected to the Boardman city council ana is now mayor of Boardman, the term expiring in 1965. He has been on the Port of Morrow Com mission since its inception in 1958. He is a member of the Mor row County budget committee and a member or the h,iks Loctge in Hermiston. Herbert C West, Executive Vice President of Inland Empire Waterways Association, (no re lfition) reported from headquar ters in Walla Walla that, "We ore very gratified that Dewey West has accepted the position of regional county vice president for Morrow County. His bacK- around and knowledge of orob lems in the area of water re source development and his in tense interest in the future of Morrow county serves him well to fill this job." County Judge Oscar Peterson of Morrow county and director for Oregon of ILWA, echoed the remarks of West.

By BIRDINE TULLIS I would like to report to you some of the interesting new fac ilities and developments in the Spout Springs area, and some of tho events coming up in the near future there. Most skiers in this area frequently ski at Spout, and many of our local skiers helped build the area in the beginning as members of Blue Mountain Ski Club. When the area became too big an operation for a ski club, it was sold to Pete and Esther Eyraud. On the week-end of February 1 and 2, Eastern Oregon College is sponsoring a winter carnival for their students, and those from Whitman and Columbia Basin Junior College. I would suggest that this would be a fun week end to ski at Spout. New to Spout Springs this win ter is a French instructor from the French National School of Ski, Jacques Ensenant. He is cn duty with their regular ski class es, and also gives private les sons. Along this line of thought Esther reports the largest classes of juniors ever for their area. The kids arrived there on buses from Pendleton, Tri-Cities, Walla Walla, and other nearby areas. A feature this year that I thought very interesting is their Housewives Holiday on Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday. The gals are flocking to the slopes for a day of lessons and relaxation While the kids are off to school. Also available, an 1 new, is nursery care at the area. I reported in the past on the new snack bar and a new T-Bar in operation. Spout has been handicapped this year by lack of snow, but have a lucker bno Cat to use on the slopes to pack the snow and thus retain what has fallen.

La Grande Phone WO 3-5814 Bill to Require Seat Belts Gets Board Support A proposal to require seat belts in front seats of vehicles sold to Oregon residents commonci n g with 1904 models was approved recently by the Oregon Traffic Safety Commission. The bill, which also would re quire seat belt attachments for all rear seats, will be co-sponsored with the Board of Health. The Commission also approved a motion of Vern L. Hill, Direc tor of the Department of Motor Vehicles, to endorse a move by the Automotive Wholesalers As sociation to seek adoption of per iodic motor vehicle inspection in Oregon. The proposal was presented by a six-man delegation from the wholesalers association. K. R. Crookham, Portia n d , spokesman for the group, said an inspection program would re sult in saving of lives and would also reduce insurance rates in the state. He cited suc cessful inspection programs in other states as proof that such programs can help improve slate's safety record. I ommission mem be r s also concerned themselves with dri ver education in their final ses sion before the 1963 Legislature convenes. Members voted to rec ommend increasing reimburse ment to schools offering driver education and to provide reim bursement to districts for pro grams outside the normal school day, even if a fee is charged. Reimbursement would be in creased to 90',; of the cost of the course, up to a maximum of $50 pei pupil. The present level is 5, up to a maximum of S.iO, Funds to cover the proposed in crease are currently available. The Commission also rescinded its previous position in support of placing the minimum neons- ng ace at 18, except those who hao. completed driver education could be licensed at 16. The action places the Commis sion in support of the state's current driver license minimum age. Members expressed the hope that if the increased reimburse ment figure wins legislative ap proval, the driver education pro gram would expand without the Ui-18 proviso. The reimbursement progr a m in the state already has brought about a 93 percent increase in the number of schools offering the course, from fS in 19;ib-19j7, the year before reimbursement, to 131 in the current school year. This is about 60 percent of tho state's public high schools. Daughter Born Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Buschke are the parents of a daughter, Tanna Marie, born January 26 in The Dalles.
