Cutsforth Named

The recent ASC elwtlons re

3. Water perhaps most Im
portant of all.
4. Climates ranging from mild
marine to dry continental.
5. A long border on the Pacific
that provides opportunities en
joyed by only a handful of
states for marine advancements,
ocean studies and resource de
velopment, and shipping.
The croplands, forests and
water are the foundation for
notable growth In the economy
and population of the state, said
lllghsmitn, wno is editor of the
Pacific Northwest Atlas and act
ing chairman of the OSU De
partment of Natural Resources.
The Development In fact
may come more rapidly than the
state Is prepared to handle In
an orderly manner. In part, be
cause many Oregonlans are re
luctant to see It come and are
closing their eyes to the Inevi
table." Hlghsmlth stated.
Oregon's location "way out
west" has been a considerable
disadvantage In the past. High-
smith remarked, freight rates
have complicated marketing of
some products, for example. But
the population explosion on the
West Coast has brought major
markets nearby and reduced re
liance on the east, he observed.
In fact, the West today has
quality of "magnetic attrac
tion" for the entire nation. High
smith believes.
Water availability offers a
ma for Industrial asset, High
smith states, and Is the key to
development. The value of
water is dramatically demon
strated by areas that lack It and
the company premises, the em
ployrr i certainly morally ac
countable for mishaps that oc
cur because of a company'
sponsored event," said F-ddy.
"If liquor Is served at a com'
ranv Christmas party, however,
the employer should provide
safe transportation home for
each celebrant. The coat of

sources.
With water, greatly Intensl-
fled land use Is possible In Ore-
iron, ne noted, me cumaie ioo
provides line opponuniwr ior
diversity In crop production, rec
reation, and permits easy trans-
port at ion movement throughout
the year, he added.
Hlghsmlth sounds one note of
caution in the rosy picture for
rapid development. That Is the
formulation of a "priority rating
to provide a measure of protec
tion for the very basic resources."
Quality croplands should be
given to other uses "very grudg.
Ingly and only after alternatives
prove to be Impossibilities," he
suggested. This is already a
problem In the Willamette
Valley, it was noted.
Finally. Oregon needs to gain
from the lessons provided by the
experiences of other areas
notably California where rapid
and uncontrolled growth has
meant needless loss of some re
source values, says Hlghsmlth.
If cities and areas will make
plans and provisions for growth
and development, the problem
can be met and solved, he con
cluded.
