1 hal's what all the discussion about
the crisis in our cities finally comes
down to . . . whether or not we revi
talize our countryside so that people
can live where they want to instead
of where they're forced to.
America's rural electrics believe
. . .. and they're working to imple
ment that belief with action . . . that
most people want to enjoy the crisp,
clean air, the blue skies and the
white snow of wintertime in the
country. Most people want their
children to know the joys of a swift
sled ride down a snowy slope.
But in the last 15 years new ma
chines and methods increased farm
output by 45 and reduced farm
employment by 45. In the next 15
years, we are told, the need for farm
labor will decline another 45. And
the rural areas, which depend on the
farms, decline, too.
America's rural electrics believe
our nation's problems, and those of
its cities, can be better met by pro
viding jobs and facilities for the
people rather than moving the people.
Let's make our open spaces not
only a good place for a sled ride.
Let's make them a better place to
live and work.
