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

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.

Might as well be.
Because so many folks in Nyssa drive Ford Galaxies.
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.
Take a test drive in a '73 Ford Galaxie 500 yourself.
We think you’ll make it officially yours.
