Five Major Fields of
Responsibility Face
State, Governor Says
"Thert ara flvt challenging
major fields of state government
responsibility that are going to
require top leadership if the peo
ple of Oregon are going to real
ize the full potential of growth
in the state," Gov. Elmo Smith
told a luncheon group of Med
ford citizens Saturday noon.
Governor Smith said contin
ued development of our highway
program, expansion of our edu
cational system to meet the pro
jected population growth, full
realization of our industrial po
tential, continued study and
proper care for perpetual use of
our natural resources, make up
the first four of the responsibil
ities and opportunities.
"The fifth field," Gov. Smith
aid, "is that of social welfare;

our aging groups, better medical
and psychiatric care for our men
tally ill, and greater opportunity
for the physically handicapped."
Governor Smith said his time
in service as governor of Ore
gon and activities in four ses
sions of the legislature had given
him intimate contact with all of
these fields of activity. He has
been recognized as an authority
on highway legislation by Presi
dent Eisenhower, who recently
appointed him to the president's
highway advisory committee.
Giren Recognition
Governor Smith was given
recognition in the educational
field recently when he was given
an award by the state secondary
school superintendents for his
"outstanding service" as govern
or. In the field of natural re
sources. Governor Smith pointed
out he was one of the original
sponsors of legislation' which
created the water resources
board. This action was praised
by the late Gov. Paul Patterson
as the most important act on the
1955 session of the legislature.
It is being copied by other states.
In the field of social legisla
tion, Governor Smith said he has
taken a direct personal interest
in all phases of this activity. He
has personally visited every ma
jor institution, or has conferred
in detail with staff administra
tors. In the field of our aging
population Governor Smith
pointed out that he has appoint
ed a study committee to make a
comprehensive report on what
"we can and must do for this
very important population seg
ment." The governor concluded,
"There are so many opportun
ities for responsible government
in Oregon that any candidate for
high office who substitutes per
sonal attack and distortions of
'records' shows a complete lack
of understanding of the responsi
bility entailed in seeking and
holding high office. I have tried
always in this campaign to stick
to the issues. I will promise
nothing I cannot deliver. Prom
ises made before election will be
fulfilled after the election."
