PREZ SEZ - Charles E. Lane, Jr. 



Another meeting coming up! MACD 

 Convention in Helena. This is the 

 big one for the year when we set 

 policies and you give directions to 

 your officers for the next 12 months. 



Things are changing rapidly in 

 this time we live and it is impor- 

 tant that you make yourself heard. 

 I have no doubt that you will. 



After touring the state for area 

 meetings, listening and observing, 

 I am certain supervisors are aware 

 of the many changes coming their 

 way, also the added responsibility 

 being thrust on them by new legisla- 

 tion. By being informed on what is 

 happening on the state and national 

 level, we can do our job on the local 

 level effectively and keep the control 

 at the grass roots. In doiag this 

 job, we must remember that states 

 and national bureaus are there to 

 help us accomplish the job. Don't 

 hesitate to call for help when you 

 need it. 



See you in Helena. 



By now, you should have your calendar 

 marked for the 12-14th of November. This 

 years convention should prove to be of 

 great interest to supervisors. • Make your 

 reservations at the Colonial Hilton 

 Motor Hotel at your earliest opportunity. 



"Soil or Sediment in the '70's" will 

 be this year's theme and will emphasize 

 our future role in controlling sediment. 

 Bob Anderson, Cecil Weeding, Senator 

 McGowan, Representative Al Kosena and 

 Marvin Cronberg will present a panel 

 discussion on "Sediment Control". 



Assistant Secretary of Agriculture 

 Robert W. Long will highlight the Keynote 

 Luncheon while Lt. Governor Christiansen 

 will speak at the Annual Banquet. Wrap- 

 Up speaker will be Ken Williams from the 

 SCS Office in Portland. 



The first night will be a Youth Night 

 to be culminated by a speech contest 

 which is a tremendous treat showing just 

 what our young people can do. 



Everyone will have a chance to air their 

 ideas at the committee meetings. which 

 constitute an important part of the 

 Convention.
