CITE PLAN TO

ING UTURE EXPENDI-
TURES IN CONSERVATION
OF MANY RESOURCES

TALLAHASSEE. Fla, Feb. IS
FNS).-'A state master plan 10
guide the National Resources
Committee in recommending fu-
ture Federal expenditures for the
conservation of natural and hu-
man resources in Florida is an
absolute necessity. George G.
Gross, executive secretary of the
newly revived State Planning
Board. said last week
The National Resources Com
mittee acts as a steering commit
tee for New Deal activities and
depends on the State Planning
Boards for its information, Gross
said. II has requested a master
plan embracing every proposed
development contemplating the
use Of Federal funds in every
state. It is impossible for the
Florida Planning Board to furnish
such plans without knowing the
needs of each county, and it in
turn will depend upon the county
planning councils for county mas
ter plans which will be complied
by the State Board in the making
Of its master plan for the entire
state.
In order TO stimulate county
planning, Gross has visited four
teen counties since he was ap-
pointed executive secretary Of the
State Board by Governor Cone on
January l, and plans to visit all
Of the 81 counties before he be
gins work on the state master
plan
New economic and social prob
lens are confronting county and
state planning bodies, Gross said
This is especially true in the con-
servation and protection of forest
and water resources. the pollution
of streams, and beach erosion.
The migration of labor to Flor
ida, caused by the development
of ne windustries in the state. has
raised new social problems which
must be solved This migration
must be asSimiIated and adjusted
TO southern customs and con-
ditionS.
Counties are also becoming
aware that climate alone is not
sufficient to provide the enter
tainment demanded by the more
than 5000, 900 tourists who visit
the state each year Counties
must plan greater entertainment
and wholesome recreation if this
trade is to be held and increased
Natural beauties must be conserv-
ed. the extinction Of wild life
must be stopped. and recreation
parks developed
The Federal government still
has money TO spend on these
types of projects but careful and
intelligent spending is the rule.
and to get its part each county
planning board must prepare its
plan. Gross said
