Organization intends to do
omething about the nation's
pathy toward its highway
needs.
.It is called the Better High
ways Information Foundation
(BHIF) and on July 1, it be
gins its mammoth task of pub
licizing the need for good
toads throughout every state.
BHIF is directed by George
M. Foster, currently execu
tive director of the Indiana
Stale Highway departmeid
and a veteran of 40 years ex
perience in highway work.
Foster bluntly declares that
the average American is too
apathetic toward the road
problem.
All Types of Roads
"He simply has no idea of
what an adequate highway
program means to him in
terms of saving lives, money
and time," Foster told United
Press International in an
interview.
By adequate highways, Fos
ter emphasized he refers to
all types of roads not only
the superhighways but the
secondary roads as well.
"Too many people think the
Federal Highway Act of 1956
was a cure-all," Foster said.
"It no only wasn't a cure-all
but it falls far short of our
needs."
He cited U. S. Bureau of
Public Roads' figures which
Show that as of Jan. 1, I960,
only 2,790 miles of the 41,000
mile interstate highway sys
tem were completed to full,
ac.epted standards. Another
2;520 miles also were com
pleted but will need moderni
zation bv 1976. A third com
pleted category involves
2,260 miles of toll roads.
Foster said this adds up to
J8.5 per cent completion of
the interstate system, with
only 4,770 miles currently
under construction.
To Spread Messages
The new organization will
try to get its support from
government, patriotic, civic,
safety and other groups
through which It will spread
its messages,
Those messages will dwell
mainly on the theme that
good roads save lives, money
and time. Typjcal ammuni
tion:
Coilt More in Long Run
Lives Federal figures show
that highways meeting inter
state highway system stand
ards have reduced accidents
by two-thirds and cut deaths
in half. One n)j)dern highway
in Virginia has a fatality rate
of 0.8 deaths per million ve
hicle miles; an adjacent older
highway has a fatality rate
of 10.6 more than 13 times
greater.

Asian Population
Increase Presents
Staggering
Tokyo -IUPH- There will be
another billion Asians by
1980 and the job of caring
for them is staggering to con
template.
If these billion more Asians
were to live on a standard
comparable to the Japanese,
which is low by Western
standards but high by Asian
standards, here are some of
the tilings that would be
needed:
Three hundred million
houses; 10 million hospital
beds; 120,000 primary schools
(1.000 pupils to a school); 10
billion gallons of water daily;
1 trilliim kilowatts of elec
tricity; 82 million tons of rice
a year; 10 million tons of
wheat a year; 180 million tons
of vegetables a year; 60 mil
lion tons of fish a year; 13
million tons of meat a year.
More Garbage
There would be 454.000
more tons of garbage a day to
be disposed of and there would
have to be thousands of miles
of new roads and parks.
All of this, of course, is in
addition to what is being pro
duced now.
Faced with such demands,
it Is small wonder that gov
ernment planners are pessi
mistic about the future. Fam
ine, history's most persistant
enemy in Asia, is bound to in
crease, especially in Red
China and parts of southeast
Asia as well as on the popu
lous Indian sub-conlinent.
There seems to be almost
no answer to the Asian popu
lation explosion. Not even a
realistic birth control pro
gram in India, China, and
southeast Asia - which isn't
likely - could solve all the
problems.
Medical science has en
abled thousands to live who a
generation ago would have
died. And Asians are living
longer. Malaria control, for
example, has saved and pro
longed thousands of lives.

Time - A large company
which began using the New
York Slate Thruway instead
of older routes found thai its
trucks averaged 10 miles per
hour faster, made 298 fewer
gear shifts, slopped 69 fewer
times, and saved nearly four
and a half hours per round
trip.
Problem
The life-span of the average
Indonesian is 20 years longer
than it was 20 years ago.
The projections on , Asia's
population 20 years hance
are made in a United N
lions study titled "The Popu
lation of Asia and the Far
East, 1950-80.",
Density Fantastic
This study shows that Asia
and the Far West comprise
only about one-sixth of the
world land areas, but their
percentage of population by
1980 will be S5 per cent-up
from 51 per cent in 1920 and
about 53 per cent in 1950.
The density of population
is fantastic-70 persons per
square kilometer (.3861
square miles), compared with
nine in the Soviel Union,
North America and Latin
America and 15 on the aver-
ago in the rest of the world
The U.N. study estimates
that the rropulation of Asia
will rise from 1,317100,000
in 1950 to 2,268.000,000 in
1980 with the highest rate of
growth in southeast Asia.

Mainspring of Area
Are Forests, Club
Members Are Told
Forests, hugely out of sight
from the valley or only dimly
visible on the distant hills,
are the mainspring of the
Rogue river basin.
So declared H. R. Glas
cock "Jr., forest counsel of the
Western Forestry and Con
servation association. He ad
dressed the Medford Kiwanis
club Wednesday at its noon
luncheon at Rogue Valley
Country club.
Glascock described the for
ests as "a hidden mainspring j
which makes the Valley tick.
And one which is guaranteed!
forever."
He brought out that forests i
are in good hands, that dc
votrH fpriiii:il. state and nri-
vate professional foresters
have teamed to protect them
from tire and other ravages
to keep them productive of
many benefits.
Work Progressively
The forest counsel stated
that the "sawlog" foresters,
which are read about, turn
out to be, when the matter
is looked into, "multiple use"
foresters.
He maintained that they
are working proggessively to
make the forests serve the
economic and social needs of

people Glascock described
the career public forester as
cleiiic;ited a n d employing
skills to use forests wisely to
provide the greatest good for
the greatest number in the
long run. Such foresters, he
said, resist special interest
pressures which seek to man
age resources for the good of
a few.
Study will show the forest
industry of the valley in a'
new and clearer light as a
friendly, responsible, progres
sive and civic minded indus
try, Glascock staled. He said
that the industry is interested
in fishing and hunting, scoti- j
cry, and high quality water,
pure air, retirement homes,
sustained jobs and tax rev- j
enues as well as profits.
New Understanding
"You see a new industry i
still haunted to some extent
by facl and fancy about its
past but resilient, self-appraising
and rtclffniined to
perpetuate itself," Glascock
declared. He said that the in
dustry, rather than try to
run off competing forest uses,
works to accommodate them
while improving its own prac
tices. This look, Glascock re-1
