Forest Forum
Set For Feb. 27
If you are interested in the
management of the Umatilla
National Forest and wish to
become involved. Forest Super
visor H.B.Rudolph encourages
you to attend one of the public
forums to be held in the near
future.
A public forum will be held on
Feb. 27. in the Heppner, Oregon
Elementary School AI1-
Purpose Room. Both public
forums will begin at 7:30 p.m.
The other one is to be today,
Feb. 15 at the Dayton, Wash.
Grade School.
One of the Forest Service
objectives is to involve the
public in Forest policy and
program formulation. These
forums are scheduled to give
everyone an opportunity to
voice their opinions and ideas
concerning land mangement
activities on the Umatilla Na
tional Forest.
These Public forums will not
have a formal agenda. Instead,
it is the purpose of these forums
to provide a free exchange of
information concerning land
mangement activities and pro
grams. To get the meetings
underway, Supervisor Rudolph
may begin discussion with some
topics of local concern
Last spring the Umatilla
National Forest held its first
public forum in Pendleton. It is
hoped that these meetings can
become a regular occurrence.
although public interest will
determine whether any other
meetings will be schdeuled.

ACTIVITY
PKNDLETON, - A year of
increased homebuilding and
home improvement through
credit services of the Farmers
Home Administration is in
prospect for Umatilla, Morrow
and Gilliam counties, Louis M.
Baxter, County Supervisor, said
today as he reported on
activities for the past year.
Mr. Baxter said $188,300 was
channeled into this area
through loans for better town
and country housing during the
calendar year ended December
31, 1972. Services included 18
loans totaling $188,300 for pur
chase or improvement of indi
vidual family homes. The loans
provided better housing for
people in Umatilla, Morrow and
Gilliam counties.
The Farmers Home Admin
istration, is a Department of
Agriculture agency, supple
ments other housing credit
available in rural towns of up to
lO.(HH) population, as well as in
the rural countryside.
Mr. Baxter added that the
year which began January 1,
may exceed the amount loaned
in 1972. The agency is geared to
substantially increase its hous
ing services this year, with its
authority to insure home loans
for families of low and moder
ate income.
"Key to the program's growth
is a new position of equality for
rural America in the nation's
housing goal," Mr. Baxter said.
"Rural areas have half of the
nation's substandard housing,
and they now have half of the
nation's housing goal for the
1970's.
We expect the sharp uptrend
in rural housing to continue. In
the Farmers Home Adminis
tration, we fully expect to do our
part in bringing rural housing
up to modern standards for
families in Umatilla, Morrow
and Gilliam counties.
Mr. Baxter said progress in
rural housing has been speeded
up through new authorizations
put into effect by Farmers
Home last year. "We now make
loans to rural homesite devel
opment organizations, and we
work with rural builders to
assure that homes they build on
a multiple basis will meet
quality standards for Farmers
Home loan insurance."
The County Supervisor as
serted that the rural housing
program is "one of the main
channels pouring private capi
tal into rural community
progress."
Farmers Home Administra
tion insured loans serve fami
lies or organizations unable to
secure home financing through
other sources.
Eligibility covers people of
low and moderate income,
including senior citizens, in
rural towns of not more than
10,000 people, plus farm and
non-farm residents of the country-side.
If a loan cannot be
covered by a local lending
institution, Farmers Home ad
vances the loan from a revolv
ing fund, then finds an investor
elsewhere to take over the
government insured loan note.
Loans are made in Umatilla,
Morrow and Gilliam counties
through the Farmers Home.
