The meeting, which followed the theme "Oregon Enters the Nuclear Age, was one of a ser ies under the larger topic "Ore gon Communities of the Future." The committee's next subject when It meets In Portland in January will be "Transporta tion." During the discussion of nu clear power In the Beaver State, committee members heard dis cussions of engineering, orderly development or plants, site ai ternatives and a report of what one region In the state thinks nuclear power can mean to its economic development Boardman interested Rupert Kennedy, Boardman, coordinator for the Port of Mor row, outlined potential growth possibilities for that part of Mor row county. Part of the growth involves a nuclear power plant, or possibly a cluster of such plants.

These are an ade quate program of coordination, regulation and compliance, manpower training programs, advise and counsel from the state level and providing precise information to the public for decision-making. Oregon has already taken steps to do many of these things, he noted. Ubu. Oregon Techni cal Institute and the University of Oregon all offer academic programs training scientists and technicians; a state coordinator has been appointed in the State Economic Development Division, and a Governor's committee has been offering advice and coun sel for nearly two years. The second speaker of the day was Dr. L. P. Bupp, OSU pro fessor of nuclear engineering, who reviewed types of nuclear generating systems now in use, safety precautions built into the generating plants and the na tion's power needs. Dr. Bupp noted that the nation has already entered the nuclear power age, but that it is just now coming to uregon, Mrs. Weatherford Tells OSU Scenes Mrs. BUI Weatherford on the Oregon State campus last week has come home with mixed emotions. While there she at tended class with her daughter Ann Knoll, senior In Anthropol ogy, attended protest meetings, marched In the Vietnam Mora torlum and attended under ground films. She said she was Impressed with the sincerity of the stu dents and their desire to do something about stopping the war. The "March for Peace" started from the MU building following an informal talk by Professor Harry McCormack. In the "quad" there was a cross for each of the Oregon boys killed in Vietnam. Faculty and townspeople Joined the students In an orderly march with police escort to the Courhtuose. At the Courthouse the address "Washing The Flag" was given hy Robert C. A. Moore and the benediction by Dr. Wm. Walker, pastor of the First Methodist Church. The closing paragraph of Mr. Moore's address follows: 'In a moment we shall be gin to recite the names of Ore gon's War Dead. It will take about ten minutes. If we were to repeat each of those names it would take about 20 minutes. How long would it take were we to recile their hopes and dreams of a full life . . . hopes and dreams that He musting with them NOW? What if we were to recite the names of the covey of mourners NOW weep ing on the memory of each of these young men? How long do you suppose it would take us to recite the names of all of those who will yet die before our silent neighbors demand City Employees Travel To League Of Oregon Cities City Recorder Elaine George nd City Attorney Bob Abrams went to the League of Oregon Cities meeting In Portland Nov. 16-18. City revenues, city plan ning, long-range urban growth policies, urban-rural balance, social problems and other city programs and problems will be discussed at the convention. Mrs. George will especially at tend the workshop discussion on libraries. Mrs. Ernest McCabe is in the city office this week while Mrs. George Is on vacation. Nimble Thimble 4-H club met Nov. 15 at Mrs. John Prlvetts. We talked about Christmas gifts. We also elected officers: President Joan Ployhar; Vice President Debbie Holland; Sec- retary Kathy Marshall and Re porterLisa Burkenblne. Refreshments were served by hostess Lisa Burkenbine. with us that we stop it NOW? The names were read with the assembled group repeating each name. The group then dispersed because they had no permit to march back to the campus. One of the professors whose! classes she visited came in dressed in a sport short, no tie, sat on the desk, smoked cigar ettes and drank coffee which as I Mrs. Weatherford said was some thing more than different than when she had gone to school there. Of the three underground films she saw she was bothered by so much nudity and seem ing purposelessness of the films. lntn tho HAPlcinn.malrlnir r.iv.

Unfortun ately, there are often conflict ing objectives. Clopper noted that plants util izing fresh water on a "once through" basis for cooling have the least cost of construction. Second in cost of construction are plants utilizing sea water and Clopper urged the commit tee to consider these carefully as they probably have the smallest environmental impact He also foresaw the possibil ity of using the warm watter to increase fisheries production off the Oregon coast. For in stance, he pointed out that Maine-type lobsters, oysters and aba lone will grow in Oregon's waters, but that water temper ature is too cool for reproduc tion to occur. Other systems discussed by Clopper were the closed system using a cooling lake and re-cy cling the water, plants with cooling towers which are the most costly to build, and a clos ed system using water for irrl eation. . , John Zajac, Portland, resident engineer in the northwest office of NUS Corp., outlined the li censing and regulatory proced ures which must be satisfied before licenses for construction and operation of such plants are granted. Most of this work is done by the Atomic Energy Commission in conjunction with other federal and state agencies, Keynote speaker for the meet ing which was called to gain information was Dr. C. H. Wang, director of the OSU Radiation Center. Dr. Wang urged that govern ment, education and all those concerned with nuclear power to do everything possible to see that accurate, factual and reli able informationn is given to the public so that decisions bas ed upon full information can be reached. He noted that Oregon seems to be prepared to enter the nu clear power age knowing both the risks and the. benefits. The nuclear scientist noted that nuclear power appears to be the "sensible" way of produc ing needed electrical energy with a minimum risk.
