This was the statement yesterday of Richard Gearhart, Portland, who talked for the April meeting of Jackson Coun ty Republican Women at a lun cheon at Mon Desir. Mr. Gearhart, an employee of the Pacific Pulp Moulding com pany and a former national re sources chairman for the Re publican State Central commit tee, declared that the party had nothing to be ashamed of in its conservation and national re sources program. He urged that each Republican arm himself with the facts about these mat ters in order to be able to com- bat the "distortions and half truths" of the opponents. Mr. Gearhart, a graduate in forestry from the University of Michigan, formerly was employ ed by the Department of Con servation of that state; in 1950 he was president of the National Association for Conservation Education. The speaker said that many Americans have a deep emotional reaction to the out- of-doors and that because of this, it is difficult for them to be ob jective about conservation and national resource legislation and programs. The speaker said he believed the Republican State Central committee should foster a strong information program in Oregon on these matters and that each county central com mittee should appoint a well qualified conservation chairman, as well. Natural resources and their conservation present a problem of the most extreme complex ity, Mr. Gearhart said, and to prove his point itemized the stor ies and editorials in a single is sue of the Oregonian which had some bearing, direct or indirect, on this subject. They numbered about 30. Speaking of the lumber in dustry, Mr. Gearhart declared that the "best managed forests for privately owned" and added that the cycle of "cut out and get out" is definitely on the wane. He said that the leaders of the lumber industry have provent hat it is now cheaper to grow timber than it is to buy stumpage, and that because of improved methods in all phases of this industry it is now pos sible "to operate a bigger in dustry on 40 per cent less vol Bags Tuaaday, April IB, 1957 ume of timber." He praised the federal forest service for "showing the way" in this change-over but said he did not believe in the "federal izing or nationalizing or other 'izing' "' of national resources. Mr. Gearhart also spoke on the importance of the recreation angle of national resources and pointed out that mony spent on such recreations and sports as hunting and fishing now runs in the billions and is growing at a phenomenol rate. Returning to the political im plications of national resources, Mr. Gearhart said that the con servation issue cost the Republi can party the senatorial seat, the governor's chair and at least one legislative race in Eastern Oregon in the last election. Ore gon is a "public lands state, he reminded his audience, and added that everyone must re member that "land is one of the three basic factors of production and when land is put into feder al control, that's socialism, or I don't know the meaning of the word." He stressed that the manage ment of all national resources should "be kept as close to the people themselves as possible," and closed by asking for an "honest and objective study of all phases of this problem." Mr. Gearhart was introduced by Mrs. C. B. Francis and Mrs. Wayne Stine presided. Offi cers Elected Amici Horizon club elected officers at a meeting held re cently at the home of Mrs. W. I.

(Steve) Bayless, art instructor at McLoughlin High school who will join the faculty of Southern Oregon college next fall, has four paintings on display this week and next at Purucker s Piano house. Mr. Bayless was invited to exhibit the pictures by Clifford Platz, Medford artist who. has a continuing display of work at the store. Mr. Platz is cur rently exhibiting outdoor scenes done in the conventional man ner, and states that Mr. Bayless' work, in the modern style, pro vides a pleasing contrast. Mr. Bayless is exhibiting "City By a River, "Crucifixion," "Kings," and "Three Prophets." . These works strive to show expression through colors, forms, textures and lines. "City on a River," for example, creates the mood of a city at night with reflections in water. The natural forms of buildings are used as a point of departure for the invention of new forms. The task becomes great in re lating these forms and colors into a unified whole," Mr. Bay less states. Mr. and Mrs. Bayless have purchased a home in the Valley View district of Ashland and will move there this summer. be from 3 to 6 p.m. both days. More than 200 works will be on display. All have been done this school year by students un der the direction of Warren Wolf, art instructor, and several have won awards in various ex hibits. The exhibit includes water- colors, oils, works in tempera, sculpture and commercial art work.
