Lincoln City. Some 230 representatives of local conservation districts wound up three days ol conven tion here today. The convention theme was "Districts Role in Land l"se Planning " That subject, sedi ment and soil erosion control and tax protection for prime agriculture land were major topics for discussion and reso lutions. The next Oregon legislature will be considering some land mark legislation on these sub jects, too. according to speakers at the convention. Stale Concern State Senator Hector Mac pherson of Albany Thursday told of two bills he plans to introduce at the next session: One on land use planning and another aimed at giving greater protection to prime agricultural land through revised taxing regulations. The land use planning law would divide planning into two main classi fications: One of local concern where planning would be deter mined solely by local govern ments; the other of critical state concern. He cited the Oregon coast and Columbia Gorge as areas of critical state concern. Also on Thursday. Associa tion President Stanley Chris tensen of McMinnville told district supervisors legrshrtirm likely would be introduced on soil erosion and sediment con trol. He pleaded for districts to get involved "or someone else will do it who is less qualified." New Department? Chairman George Nicolescu of the State Soil and Water Conservation Commission told delegates an attempt will be made to create a State Depart ment of Natural Resources which would include these divisions: Forestry, water re sources, soil and water conser vation, geology and mineral, nuclear and thermal energy, marine and state lands. Too Fa r? Editor Philip Bladine of the McMinnville News-Register voiced criticism of environ mental extremists who wodd lock up Oregon's resources Bladine ranged from fore;' to land use to DDT in decrying environmental actions whir' he said, threaten the livelih . of businessmen and wagr earners. "When you have a poor area (economically), you have a poor environment," Bladine said. "A man isn't going to be interested in environment if his chances of making a living are impaired." the editor told conservation district super visors. Bladine said land use is going to be the second hottest issue before the next legislature -(presumably taxes would be first, in his view). Developers Klamath County Commis sioner, Lloyd Gift, former director and president of OACD, showed slides and discussed problems of subdivision de velopment in that county. He said manv people are being misled by developers to settle on land not suited to septic tanks and without feasible water supplies. More stringent state action is needed, he said. Wes Kvarsten of the Mid -Willamette Council of Govern ments said there has been a "real turn around" in land use planning and it is now being recognized for what it is." The Mid-Willamette Council of Governments takes the position that good land use planning has to be based on soil information. "It's fine to be concerned about other areas, but basically we had better be concerned about the livability of the places where we live," Kvarsten said. Among recommendations put to the convention was a plea for help in bringing about a shift of SCS and Districts from a largely rural-agricultural orientation to a more balanced effort between rural and urban. Albany Realtor, Giliy Lewis, said reputable realtors deplore the unscrupulous real estate developers as much as other people. He expressed disap pointment that Klamath County cents per ounce. Christinas cards will cost 8 cents, hut this allows for a weight ot two ounces.

Postmaster State Meet doesn't have the control over development that his own cotintv has. "Were going to have to accept growth, however," Lewis said. Developer Problem Lewis said an industrial or commercial developer has to deal with as many as 26 different governmental officials m getting plans approved. Soil Krosion Environmentalists have not faced up to the fact that downstream, downhill, toward the ocean is where all the sediment goes, State Repre sentative Paul A Hanneman of Tillamook County said m his kevnote address. .Most of the environmental groups have been blind to the one thing we have been sensi tive to.' Hanneman said. "To them soil erosion is something that happens on farms and is of concern to farmers." He expressed hope that more attention will be given to effects sediment and soil erosion have on people and places down stream. Hanneman indicated legis lators and districts concerned with sediment problems need to work with "in" groups that have most of the power with legislators on environmental problems. He pleaded for support and testimony from conservation district leaders during the next session. New Directors Names of three newly elected directors of the Oregon Asso ciation of Conservation Dis tricts were announced on the opening day of the convention. George "stubbert, Sutherlin citv manager; Dave Hanzel. Klamath Soil and Water Con servation District; and Truscott Irbv, chairman of Baker Valley Soil' and Water Conservation District.

A.J.Webber, state conser vationist for the USDA Soil Conservation Service, and Dr. Lee Kolmer, director, OSU Cooperative Extension Service, spoke at this morning's session of the annual Oregon Associa tion of Conservation Districts convention in the Dunes Motel. With the aid of slides, Webber showed and told how SCS personnel will be surveying and monitoring resources for better planning and use of resources, both urban and rural. New programs funded at the federal level are broadening the scope of extension service efforts, Dr. Kolmer said. These include such things as marine resources, expanded food and nutrition, and community de velopment. "We are not abandoning our traditional agricultural pro grams but adding to them. The level of agricultural assistance will remain the same but the quality should be better because of better trained personnel and reorganized staffing," Dr. Kolmer said.
