0 Thursday, August 8, 1957 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Oregon To Be Fastest Growing State In Next Two Decades, Magazine. Forecasts 1 By A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribun. Correspondent Washington Oregon will be the fifth fastest growing state in the country during the next two decades as the United S t ates experi ences its big gest population boom in his tory. This fore cast is made by U.S. News and World Report magazine, bas- I . -I A A. RotaL Smith cu " sup plied by the U.S. Census Bureau and other planning agencies and projected into the future by rec ognized census methods. Between now and 1975, Ore gon will become the home of 1,147,000 new residents to bring the state population up to 2,865. 000. This will be a rate of growth of 66.8 per cent. Only California, Florida, Ari zona and Nevada will have a higher rate of growth during this coming period, the forecast shows. This will be part of the picture as America adds 60,000, 000 to its total population. 'The growth stems frpni the, higher level of births trat has prevailed in the United States since 1946, laying the foundation for a population increase in the years ahead even more rapid than that of the recent past," said U. S. New Weit To Absorb Most The western states will ab sorb more of these new Ameri eaua tlian any other region 18 million as against 15 mil lion in the South, 14 million in the midwest and 13 million in the East. "A new empire is emerging on the Pacific coast, and Cali fornia is the heart of this em pire," the magazine states. By 1975 California will have passed New York state as the largest in the Union reaching a popula tion of 25 million. "Although overshadowed by California's explosive growth, the expansion of Washington and Oregon in the Pacific Northwest is to be sharp. They rank high among the fast-growing states," it added. Among the cities expected to show a sharp population increase GiftsGrants at OSC Total $1 Million in '56-57 School Year Corvallis A total of Sl,020, 969 in gifts and grants was re ceived by Oregon State college in 1956-57, President A.

F. Kyle, President 4 51 is Portland, which is estimated to picjc up 529,000 new residents for a 1975 total Of 1,396,000. While the magazine does not go into sufficient detail to calculate growth of other cities , in Ore gon, its figures show that 618, 000 new residents will be living elsewhere in Oregon, predom inately in the smaller cities of the state. Modest Growth "There is going to be a modest growth in the population of small towns," the report said, predicting about 9 million new residents will locate in small towns. "It is in the suburban areas around cities that the great ex plosion of population is to oc cur," it claims, estimating this is where 40 million will settle "because Americans are tending to crowd toward thebig centers of population." "The addition of 60 million more people between now and 1975 will be a bonanza for busi ness and industry. These new citizens must be clothed, fed, housed, transported and enter tained. With the U.S. standard of living going up year by year, demands of consumers will in crease even faster than popula tion." Not only will the bulk of this new population be urban, but farm population ill continue to drop at a fast clip, the maga zine said. Today's 22 million farm residents will fall to 15 million by 1975, which means that 7 per cent of the population will produce the food needed by the remaining 93 per cent. Today's farm population is 13 per cent of the nation. Urban expansion, plus highway needs, is gobbling up about a million acres of rural land each year new. Not only will this presumably end the current farm surpluses, I but it will require that by 1975 production of milk be increased 33 per cent, truck garden crops be increased 40 per cent, beef 50 per cent and pork 40 per cent. Schools Big Problem "Providing schools for the growing crop of babies in the United States is going to be one of the biggest problems fac ing planners in the years ahead. By 1975 there will be 13 million more children in elementary school a total of 43 million. This number is equal to the combined population today of New York, Pennsylvania, Cali fornia and Iowa. - Enrollment in high schools will jump by more than 5 million, to reach a total of 13 million in 1975. "These increases in elemen tary and high school enroll ments will create a need for at least 600,000 classrooms, not including replacements. At least 600,000 more teachers will have to be found. In addition, those who retire or enter other pro fessions will have to be re placed." One good rule of thumb for determining where the heaviest increases in population will be felt in the state, says U.S. News, is to look at the transportation arteries that lead out of the cities, especially those roads that are part of the interstate net work now being improved with heavy federal aid. In Oregon this means U.S. 99 and U.S. 30. Development Due "All kinds of development will take place along this net work. Industrial parks, sprawl ing over hundreds of acres to provide modern one-story fac tories and parking lots for em ployees, already are growing up on some of today's superhigh ways. They will become more and more a part of the Ameri can scene, according to experts in the business of planning for industry. - "Along with these centers of in dustry, strategically placed, will spring up new communities! As older communities push out ward to care for the growing number of people, they often will link up with the new com munities. The result will be an extension of the 'strip' cities that already have developed in the big population centers of the country-" Depot-148 N.front-SP 3-ltSi !i-rtfTTVl rt-VTD .
