Variety of Fields to Stimulate
Economy in Area Being Explored
a wiae variety of fields to
itimulate economy in southern
Oregon are being explored
through a program planned by
tne Jackson County Chamber
of Commerce.
An explanation of the various
chamber projects has been in
stituted in recent weeks in con
junction with the current mem
bership drive,
Frank Bash, head of the cham
ber business program division.
saia tnat "the chamber, through
Joint cooperation of the Grants
Pass organization, has retained
Sandwell and company to con
duct a Rogue River valley de
velopment study which we ai
ticipate will be completed this
XE11."
Pulp Wood Resource
The study has just completed
a compilation of pulp wood re
source data available from pub
lic records. The second step in
the study will include an analy
sis of data to determine suffi
ciency of supply, site suitability,
water supply, air- pollution,
transportation factors, capital
costs, manufacturing costs, gross
return requirements and many
other Items.
"tJntil all phases of the pic
ture have been evaluated by a
competent firm such as Sand
well, we are in no position to
predict the degree of future
promise in stabilized payrolls
with regard to our basic natural
resource, which is wood," Bash
said. He stressed, however, that
"the outlook is good.'
More detailed examination of
specific phases of the county's
economy is under way by sub
committees of the Business Pro
gress division. Under ' the In
dustrial developments sub-com
mittee, headed by Bill Williams,
chairman, and Bill Leever, vice
chairman, contacts are being
jnade with several new enter
prises that have shown interest
in the area.

Hall, Gene Ferrell 'and Joe
Naumes, heads the miscel
laneous enterprises group work
ing to attract additional whole
sale warehousing now servicing
the trade area. They also are
working to attract retired peo
ple, and are studying possible
attraction of state and federal
offices and state technical
schools.

Bob Cunningham involves sta

Senate Passes Bill
For Pension Increase
: Washington Iff) The Senate
Friday night unanimously pass
ed a bill to grant an average 10
per cent increase in the pensions
of disabled veterans and their
dependents.
The measure now goes back
to the House, which passed a
similar bill earlier this year.
It was estimated that the in
crease, which the administra
tion opposed, would cost the
government about 169 million
dollars annually. Under the
bill, the maximum pension for
total disability would be in
creased from $181 to $225
monthly, or approximately 24
per cent.
The other proposed increases
range from $2 for veterans with
a 10 per cent service connected
disability to a S16 increase to
veterans with a 90 per cent dis
ability.

ventory and cataloging present
industries in the county.
A visitation committee head
ed by Frank Benesh is studying
local industries and their prob
lems. The long-range job "is bigger
than most people realize," Bash
said. "They look on industrial
promotion as one big campaign
to bring in smoke stacks."
Smaller Activities
"Basically we look upon in
dustrial promotion as a host of
smaller activities, the sum total
of which may tend to make our
area attractive to industries,"
he explained. Assets would in
clude good schools,' churches,
housing facilities, recreation ad
vantages, equitable city and
county taK structure, well
planned residential areas and
shopping facilities.
Industrial literature designed
to give factual data-on this area
is proving iiuccessful, according

He said it has been "most
gratifying tc find that top execu
tives of industry . across the
country rank the factual data
published b:r our . chamber of
commerce among the finest they
have seen."
