Rural Areas Show New Signs of Growth The move from farm to city may be coming to a halt, a new era of economic and social gro wth for rural America may al ready be launched. These are two conclusions to be drawn from various reports on the progress of rural Ame rica, from the arid stretches of the Southwest to the green fields of the Southeast. They also are indications that the much talked about goals of rural development are beginning to emerge as realized accom plishments for an increasing number of communities. Some signs of the recharged energies within rural areas are: --More jobs; During the 1960’s nonfarm jobs increased by 39 percent in the country side, a slightly better rate than the 34 percent increase in me tropolitan areas. This growth rate has been high in com pletely rural counties as well as in those with cities of up to 50,000 population. --Farm-exodus ending: The farm population has dropped to fewer than 9 1/2 million per sons. With so few people re maining on the Nation’s farms, little further decline in the po pulation is possible. As the farm-to-city migration dwin dles to a negligible level, con tinued gains in nonagricultural jobs will have a more visible impact on the overall economy and population of rural areas. --Greater Federal commit ment to rural areas: The go vernment is stepping up its in vestment in rural America manyfold. For example, funds earmarked for housing in rural areas amount to$2.2 billion this year, four times the 1969 level, sewer and water programs are allocated $342 million this year, nearly twice the 1969 level. Total funds devoted to rural Just Arrived Motobecane 10 SPEED BIKE SHIPMENT W5 & up FIRESTONE STORE Nyssa, Oregon Thursday, August 24, 1972 The Nyssa Gate City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon Pag« Four development efforts by the De partment of Agriculture will amount to $3.5 billion this year--four times the level in 1961 and twice as much as in 1969. More important than the sta tistics or the governmental ex penditures, however, is the de termined individual in commu nity after rural community who resolves to solve the problem on his own, who takes action to set his own neighborhood on the road to progress. In Tulia, Texas, for example, local leaders set out to com bat decaying businesses, bli ghted housing. As a result of their efforts, the community has 386 new low-cost homes and jobs and incomes are up be cause of the construction work. In North Carolina, citizens mounted a driver education campaign as a small but vital part of their Statewide effort to connect more rural workers with more better paying jobs. Rural development is an idea whose time has come--mostly because increasing numbers of local groups are taking it upon themselves to make sure that it does.

For example, ft mil lion unemployed. Bet that conjures up an image of desperate breadwinners who were throw n out of their jobs and are hopelessly walking the streets in search of non existent work. But such is not the case, according to George Hage dorn. chief economist of the National Association of Man ufacturers. It's not that the Department of Labor's sta tistics are assembled for false impressions, but rather that you would have to wade through masses of figures every month to get the true picture. Also public media are likely to give only the amount of detail they think you and I will read Actually, in 1971 the sta tistics-collectors listed only 1.810,900 unemployed people who were "household heads." That's just 36 percent of the 4.993,000 unemployed. The rest, or 64 percent, were young people without family responsibilities, wives who worked occasionally, and other similar groups. Ia’ss than half the unem ployed had "lost" a previous job. The rest were looking for a job for the first time or had left their job voluntarily. Most of them had been jobless for less than three months In fact. 45 jiercent had been out of work less than five weeks. Wil! finding jobs lie hojie- less at this time? Not at all. While unemployment re mained steady in the second half of 1971, the number of employed ihtsoiis rose by 1.5 million. Therefore, new jobs are being created at a sub stantial pace. That doesn’t mean that there are not some people whose inability to find a job over a long ¡>eriod has placed them in a desperate situation. But there are a lot less than 5 million of them, says Hage dorn. 4 Houseguests in the Elvin Bal lou home this past weekend were their daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Ady and Tommy of Pueblo, Colorado. • 4 4 Sunday dinner guests at the Ellen Jones returned from Ballou’s were the Adys and Mr. Salem Sunday after attending and Mrs. Mark Howell of Wil the meeting of the Oregon Chap der. ter IGAS.
