giving up his place at the

Brother Lively, and his
family, somehow just cap

loss is Atlanta's gain! They

right for a pastor to go on
up to larger churches, and
share with others the love
of Christ, they radiated here.
Churches always choose

Poverty Program Offers Benefits
To Rural People, Says The FHA
New avenues of economic
development will be opened
up to low-income rural
families under provisions of
the Economic Opportunities
Act, a spokesman for the
Farmers Home Administra
tion told a regional gather
ing of FHA personnel in At
lanta.
Howard Bertsch, national
administrator of the organi
zation. described the 'pover
ty program” as the first
really correlated attempt to
deal with the causes of pov
erty — both rural and urban
— "and said that it will en
able the Farmers Home Ad
ministration to be far more
effective in helping the rural
people who are really at the
bottom of the income scale.
Three major areas of con
cern for his organization,
Mr. Bertsch continued, will
be the rural poor, the family
farm, and the rural com
munity.
“Boxed-in” farm families
with no place to go -- the
“poorest of the poor -- may
obtain capital they need to
increase their farm incomes
under provisions of the pro
gram. Such capital would
take the form of $1,500
grants subject to the same
planning and supervision
that has gone into the loan

program carried out by the
organization since the early
1930’5.
This feature of the bill, he
said, has been widely mis
understood. “We are not at
tempting to make commer
cial farmers out of these
people. They will take the
grant and use it with the
managerial ability they have
to make life a little more
livable. By adding a small
amount to their income, they
can remain self-reliant.
The bill will also authorize
help to low-income rural
families engaged in rural
based but non-agricultural
enterprises such as the pro
duction of handicraft items
and the development of
small repair shops for ser
vicing household appliances
and farm machines.
The second aspect of the
bill would provide capital to

local leaders set up in a
community to aid young
men, with education and

owners. Such corporations,

available, reconstitute it into
