Page 4 The Daily Nebraskan Neb raska's Leaders Examine Migration Shirley Gates Receives '.'61 Continued from Page 1 reason alone, the next 10 years should make water sup ply more important." Pearl Flnnigan, state Director of Agriculture, said that research into new uses for agricultural products by his department promises to "create new markets for cereal grains and livestock products and to strengthen present markets for these products." "We are the only state in the union that has an agricultural-industrial utilization research program and thus have an excellent chance of attracting to the state those industries who will apply the principles on uses of agricultural products that we discover" Flnnigan said. Present encouragement of castor beans and safflower and study of the practicality of growing sesame, guar and high amylose corn will bring new plants to the state to utilize these products, as the $3 million industry which will locate here when caster bean acreage reaches a maximum level. Incidentally, this plant alone will add a million dollars a year to the state in payrolls, Finnigan said. Starches "Through research in starches, a basic raw material of grains, we have found that paper, plastics, films and fibers, to name a few, can be created from the grain," he added. But how successful have our efforts been in attracting industry? Again, Dave Osterhout, director of the Nebras ka Resources Division, speaks: Norfolk commissioned a man vacationing in the Florida area to act as its agent in convincing a Miami firm that they, should locate one of their branches in Norfolk. The individual told of walk ing past mail bags and stacks of promotion literature from cities and towns in all parts of America as he was ushered in to speak to the company's executives. So impressed were they that he had taken the time and . interest to contact them personally that they looked care fully at Norfolk and eventually settled there." "But it is the enthusiasm of today's high school and college generation in Nebraska that is really bringing industry into the state," Osterhout said. "When a group of young business men in their 30's and 40's from Cozad got organized, they attracted the 500 employee Monroe Shock Absorber Company to locate there. Why? The con cern itself said that ft was the dynamic, perservering en thusiastism of the business men that made them go all out for Cozad." "One hundred other Nebraska towns could have done the same thing," Osterhout said, "but they lacked the dynamic sincerity and enthusiasm of Cozad." Appeal "Another effective appeal we have is to let the gov ernor talk with industrials, especially those from New Jersey and New York, about the state's potential and strengths. He makes a 'tremendous impression' on those men who could not have access to the governor from their home state under similar conditions," Osterhout emphasized. John Fraker, executive secretary and vice president of the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce, said that a com munity cannot grow unless it brings in industry. Originally from Houston, Tex., Fraker said that Ne braska's only problem is that it has started her indus trial development progarms later than many other areas of the nation. Lincoln is attractive to industry and residential hv- I 'I 1 f i! i t Hi ' 1 1 r v - I WHAT TO DO? Don Johnson, a junior In electrical engineering, is fac ing a problem. Upon graduation, should he stay in his home state to work and raise his family, or should he pursue his life's work in another state? Don is not the only person facing this problem. ing. Omaha and Lincoln, he said, are equal with any other cities of their size in the nation in cultural activ itives and recreation. Although we don't have the Gulf of Mexico or Lake-Michigan, we do have boating and swimming lakes readily accessible. Also, Houston doesn't have the ring-neck-pheasant. Development Fraker outlined the community-industrial development program which the Chamber of Commerce had Initiated some 18 months ago to develop "a complete program to provide jobs and business opportunities for its youth! Our first task was to complete an industrial survey of the basic economic and social aspects of the Lincoln community. Lincoln is in competition with other cities when industry looks at each community asking where it can get the greatest dollar return for its stock holders. The Economic Handbook, which our study developed, cites labor conditions, tax rates, business climate, gas and electric rates, housing conditions, transportations fa cilities, whosesale index, finance possibilities, and trade potential, allowing the industrial department of the Cham ber to bring in industry with facts. "We are now in the first stages of purchasing and developing a 300 acre industrial tract with zoning restric tions to attract industry. Also we have just completed the construction of a large building to house an indus trial firm which is moving here from Texas. We are in the process of seeking appropriate talent in the traffic department. , Create Opportunities "Industry just doesn't happen to settle in your city or community," Fraker said, "you hve to create the opportunities and do the selling." Yet in sampling student opinion, it is apparent that economic opportunities are interwoven with recreational facilities, educational program and cultural level in in fluencing a youth to remain in Nebraska or leave it. Friday's study will examine the efforts and philoso phies of Nebraska leaders in strengthening these areas in our state. ' Ag Award The Borden Award, a $300 scholarship awarded annual ly to outstanding seniors in agriculture and home eco nomics, was presented to Shirley Gates at the Ellen H.
