Business activity in Oregon spurted upward during the first quarter of 1973 at an unpre cedented pace, according to Dr. Edward L. Reed, senior vice president and economist for United States National Bank of Oregon, writing in the bank's quarterly Oregon Business Ba rometer. The Barometer’s index rose to 139.7, slightly more than »ix points above the December level and nearly 12 points above March a year ago. This was the most rapid riseuiam quar ter in more than 20 years. The Oregon performance clo sely matched that of the national economy, which also made un expected gains for the three- month period. The growth of the gross national product of 14 percent. 6 of which was due to price increases, indicates that the economy is overheat ing. The rate of growth. about double the nation's long-run ability to produce goods and services, is not sustainable. Most of the upward pres sure is currently coming from the consumer sector. Retail sales in Oregon were upappro- ximately 26 percent during the quarter, and overall consumer expenditures rose by 16 per cent, including a phenomenal rise in outlays for consumer du rables ot 35 percent. The pro blem, in fact, is not one of stimulating the economy to greater heights but of slowing it down so that a re-entry to a healthy level ran be made without undue dislocations. Spectacular gains were made in employment during the first Quarter. Nearly 26,000 more persons were employed inOre- gon in March than in December, and total employment exceeded March of last year by 47,000 Agricultural employment was the only category in which there was a decline, and this was due in large part to unseasoiul weather conditions. Gains in employment were spread impressively throughout the state. Both the Portland and Eugene areas, largest urban concentrations in Oregon, sho wed gains above the high state averages. The unemployment rate has dropped sharply Since De- cetnber. and in February rea ched a low of 4.6 per cent, the lowest since December, 1969. Hours and earnings also in creased. along with employ ment In March, weekly hours of production workers in manu facturing »ere 39.4, compared to 39.3 in February and 39.1 a year ago Average weekly ear nings in Marcli reached! 177.30 compared to $176 06 in Feb ruary and $165.76 in March, 1972. Consumer and business spam- ding, as measure by bank de bits and adjusted for price chan ges, rose at an annual rate of 24 per cent, with bank debits at the end of the quarter nearly 18 per cent above a year ago. Wl^esegfaAP OF eft* Exports from the Oregon Cus toms District made rapid gains during the quarter. The value of exports rose to a record $328 million, compared to only $136 million last year when trad.- flow was slowed by a dis k strike. Lumber and wood products turned in an excellent quarter- in fact, probably the best ever. Both lumber and plywood pro duction reached record levels, and the earnings of firms in this industry were exceptionally good Employment in the lum ber and wood products category rose to 75,800 in March, the highest March figure in this industry since 1953. Several factors, however, point to a possible slowdown in housing starts. These in clude rising costs of housing, rising interest rates and a de cline in the flow of funds into financial Institutions whichpro- vide mortgage money.

How come? Maybe it’s Ford’s famous quiet ride. Maybe it's all the standard features. Like: power steering, Cruise-O Matic transmission, and power front disc brakes. Or maybe it’s the low price.
