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

Your money grows... your community grows.,
when your funds are working with us
More than a million pairs of hands are at work building new homes. And more than
$5 billion in payroll goes to these workers in a year.
By providing more than one out of three mortgages, America's Insured Savings
and Loan Associations help meet this payroll and make a major contribution
to the nation's economy. Thus when you save with us, you help create jobs,
help industry grow and help millions of families to own their own homes. ..
And while your savings work for you, you enjoy utmost security,
as they are insured up to $10,000 by the Federal Savings and
Loan Insurance Corporation.
Sound reasons, these, to consider investing with ns your
trust, pension, endowment, corporate and personal funds.
Where you save does make a difference

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-"
