And, increasingly, it's finding it in the country side. That's partly because in the countryside there's electric power, provided by Consumer-owned rural electric systems, to turn the wheels of industry. And the people who built and own the rural electrics are there, too, helping provide local leadership and manpower. , It's a big job. It means coordinating state and Federal programs with rural needs. It means setting up job training programs and improved community facilities. It means consulting services for existing and newly formed small businesses. It means imaginative plan ning for new industries and new communities. The fresh air that industry is finding in rural America means progress and growth for all of us. Columbia B asm ELECTRIC CO-OP Serving Morrow, Wheeler And Gilliam Counties BOX 848 PENDLETON
