    hJHTH DAKUU SJATE^ DEPOSITORY DOCUMENT NORTH DAKOTA urth Dakota Sttft Uhrar*. _ «-»«.•. B&UE BOOK 1973 COMPILED BY LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY UNDER THE DIRECTION OF BEN MEIER Secretary of State Greetings It is appropriate as North Dakota progresses in the seventies that we record our progress and current status in government and in other areas. North Dakota is in a unique situation in this decade. For the first time. North Dakota's agriculture-based economy is faced with the outside entrepreneur, eager to utilize our natural resources. Our water and coal — our energy resources — are becoming increasingly important to people outside our State. The significant challenge of this decade will be to determine the proper balance between conservation of our natural resources, and the necessary usage of them to contribute our share to the nation's energy needs. Among the people faced with that challenge are the many elected leaders and governmental officials noted in this volume. Their ability to deal with this and other problems will determine North Dakota's course for centuries. Their careful judgment and wise planning is essen­ tial to our State's well-being in the years ahead. Arthur A. Link Governor Foreword The 1973 edition of the Blue Book was authorized by the Forty-third Legislative Assembly. The Secretary of State's office takes satisfaction and pride in present­ ing this latest edition. The previous Blue Book was published in 1961. In publishing this book, we have attempted to present in concise form to the citizens of North Dakota a description of their government and a directory of its agencies and officers.

    NORTH DAKOTA BLUE BOOK .1961 COMPILED BY LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY UNDER THE DIRECTION OF BEN MEIER Secretary of State "Buy North Dnkotn Products" • ItHANCK TNiaUNC laoo Greetings It is fitting that we pause to record progress made in North Dakota's economic, social, cultural and poli­ tical life. This state is blessed with an imaginative, industrious and moral people. Their efforts are moving us to the brink of great achievement in developing our agricultural, lignite, crude oil, electric power, and industrial potential. We find ourselves on the front lines of national defense in 1961. Supersonic fighter and bomber bases, radar stations and missile bases dot the landscape. Probably the surplus food production for peace and military bases for war both found in North Dakota have made our people more internationally-minded than ever before. In this book are the men and women serving this state in government at this fleeting moment. Their wisdom and planning will serve North Dakota for generations to come. WILLIAM L. GUY Governor of North Dakota Foreword It is with genuine pleasure and pride that the Department of State presents the 1961 edition of the Blue Book authorized by the legislative assembly. The last Blue Book was issued in 1954. The primary purpose of the North Dakota Blue Book is to present in concise form to the Citizens of North Dakota a description of their government and a directory of its agencies and officers together with geographical, industrial, historical and general in­ formation of the State. The material comprising the Blue Book has been carefully chosen to serve not only as a hand book and directory of agencies and person­ nel of North Dakota Government but as a reference for educational institutions as well.
