Mr. N. E. She should let
her daughter make up her own
mind.
Mrs. R. Y. My daughter is
in a very confused state right
now.
e
Mr. N, E. I'm a widower
of 58. In the course of my bus
iness I was introduced to a
young lady who works as a sec
retary in a friend's office. We
felt drawn to each other and
we've had several delightful
dates. Even though she's only
28, I mentioned marriage to
her and, although she thinks
it's possible, her mother is
raising such a fuss that I'd
like a showdown. .Maybe she's
sore that I'm not courting her.
Mrs. R. Y. This fellow is
too old for me, not to speak
of my daughter. Despite what
he says I'm sure he's closer to
68 than 58 but he's a smooth
talker and Ellen believes him
as to age, income, and inten
tions. I don't. And I want him
to stop pressuring Ellen. For
tunately she listens to me now,
having been divorced a year
ago. She was blindly in love
last time, too. She's in no stale
to marry yet.
The Council: This time we
surmise Mama knows best
but not because of the age dis
parity. While statistics frown
on the likelihood of success in
May - December unions, there
are numerous examples where
the calendar doesn't count in
producing true soulmates. The
"rub" here is Ellen's psycologi
cal condition. If she were "in
therapy" she'd be advised not
to make any permanent com
mitments until she "finds" her
self. That's our advice, and to
aid her in discovering her real
self, we suggest a few inter
views with a therapist. Away
from both her mother and her
suitor, she'd hash out: Who am
I? What do I need in a mate?
. . . Then she can view Mr. E.
more clearly in terms of her
requirements, his own, and
those of a sound marriage. She
and her mother will find that,
more important than age and
income, are health, IlllSlal -,C1 wv,
empathy, trust, and flexibility.

Jackson Discusses Potential Of Area at Rotary Luncheon
A 3
Medford Industrialist Glenn
Jackson focused attention yes
terday on three "problem ele
ments in southern Oregon which
will affect the future economy of
this region.
Jackson told a Rotary club
luncheon at the Rogue Valley
country club that forecasts in
dicate there will be 150,000 peo
ple in the valley by 1972.
To prepare tor ine uuiux oi
population, Jackson said respon
sible agencies must launch an
immediate study ot tne sewage,
drainage and drinking water sit
uation: must prepare for expan
sion of the municipal airport,
which has now become a region
al facility serving three or four
counties; and must develop the
year-around recreation potential
of this area.
He urged those who have been
sideline "watchers" to become
"doers" in efforts to prepare for
the changes which lie ahead.
Turning to the state as a
whole, Jackson said that Oregon
has to overcome considerable
"negative advertising" in at
tracting new industry to locate
here.
"Notions persist elsewhere
that Oregon is a rain forest state
and is backward and undevel
oped," he said.
Another myth about Oregon,
he said, is that the "economy is
geared to the price of a two-by-four."
In Lumber Industry
Actually, he pointed out, only
9.90 per cent of the total labor
force in Oregon during 1962 was
connected with the lumber in
dustry. Jackson county's per
centage was higher, he noted,
however, with 15.90 per cent of
the labor force being employed
in lumber work.
But he said the multiplicity of
other vocations in Oregon repre
sented a "fair balance" of occu
pations, and the state now has
a "good growing diversity" in
its economy.
Jackson, chairman of the state
highway commission, said that
"lack of transportation outside
of the Portland area" is one of
the factors which has inhibited
the economic growth of the
state.
However, he said, "We're
gradually getting the answer to
the isolation problem," and
pointed out that the state's road
system is now "one of the best
in the country."
Prospects Appear Brighter
Prospects for the lumber in
dustry appear brighter, he felt,
noting that the "log supply is
about equal to capacity at the
moment."
Agriculture in Oregon "is still
in the primitive stage," Jack
son said. "Use of the land has
not changed in the last 100
years."
He warned that by 1975, one
out of eight persons in the U.S.
will live in one of the three
western states, causing a rapid
retirement of land from agri
cultural use.
He said southern Oregon is
"already feeling the effects" of
population shifts toward the west
coast. There have been a num
ber of large real estate transac
tions in the region recently, and
land in many areas is becoming
too valuable for such uses as
cattle raising, he said.
Great Opportunity
Recreation is one of the great
opportunities of the area, Jack
son said.
During 1962, about $217 mil
lion was spent for recreation in
Oregon, and about $20 million
of that figure was spent in Jack
son county, he said.
But the speaker said that sum
should have been $500 million for
the state and about $50 million
for Jackson county.
Jackson said the state high
way department had developed
180 parks in Oregon, which were
visited last year by about 11 mil
lion people, and has now come
"close to the potential possible."
He said the federal govern
ment owns 51 per cent of the
land in the state, amounting to
about 90 per cent of the recre
ation potential. He urged the
federal government to increase
its efforts to improve and in
crease recreation areas in Oregon.
