After beginning of plant operations, It will in clude continuous monitoring at various points In the Columbia River Basin to help assure the safe operation of the facilities. Another program which could dovetail readily with Morrow County's plans to develop a "nu-clear-agro lndustrlol complex" la the group which plans to study various means of using warm water discharges from power blasts In beneficial ways and to encouruge the development of multi-use nuclear power plant. An agro-Industrial complex as foreseen by those long tange planners of Tort of Morrow and other agencies is also referred to as a "nuplex" or r.uclear en ergy center.

It Is important to un derstand that nuclear power plunts require vat quantities of cooling water to condense the steam used In the turbine-gen- erators.

Harold Kerr told of the inter est shown on the bus tour of the new farms and the nuclear power plant sites In the North End. Larry Mills told of the ex periment by Boeing in their garbage test plots. He empha sised that this-is strictly a test, so far. The garbage 70 being paper and paper products is brought up from Portland af ter a little processing or shred ding by a Vancouver firm. It is poured over the test tract on the Boeing property and tilled Into the soil going in perhaps eight or ten inches deep. They plan to seed and Irrigate. Mr. Mills said if the plan proves feasible, next spring they will barge up about a thousand tons daily. At present, the material is not shredded as finely as they expect to, later. OSU ex perts are on the tract making Studies to determine the value of the project, whether it will help hold the blowing soils, whether the material will add fertilizing properties, and other factors. Dale Boner stated that Lake Penland project will be inspect ed by the Soil Conservation Service, U. S. Forest Service and Oregon State Game Commission officials. Nona Sowell and Vel Robinson of the Christmas decorations committee said new decorations were ordered.
