Cleveland could go forward faster than
any North leorgia town if only we could
establish UNITY among ALL our people.
No town can grow when there is lack of

$25,000 Given to
Sterilize Needy
BEREA (AP) A New York
businessman has contributed $25,
000 to finance free sterilization
operations for a birth control pro¬
ject in a poor section of Kentucky.
“I’m not a do-gooder,” said Jesse
Hartman of New York. “I just want
tb help in this fight on poverty.”
The plan calls for the financing
of 300 operations on needy parents
who qualify.
The six-month pilot program,
called the Hartman Plan, is be¬
ing operated by the Human Better¬
ment Association for Voluntary
Sterilization, which was organized
in 1937.
The association sets up local
programs, accepts applications for
sterilization, screens them and re¬
fers about one-fourth to physicians
in the program.
It drew criticism from church¬
men two years ago when its steri¬
lization clinic in Warrenton, Va.,
hospital became known.
Operators of the Kentucky pro¬
ject hope to show sterilization is
an effective weapon against pover¬
ty. They also hope President John¬
son will add it to his war on pover
ty.
Dr. Millard A. Shepherd, a state
health officer, is confident the pro¬
ject will lead to sterilization pro¬
grams elsewhere.
Those backing the project note
several problems they face:
1. The Roman Catholic Church
opposes any means of artificial
birth control.
. “Most physicians are in the
dark” about sterilization and “hos¬
pitals have had many misgivings
about the legal issue,” Shepherd
said.
3. Shepherd said there are men
who believe “the only way to prove
you're a man is by having chil¬
dren" and they would decline to
submit to an operation.
4. Shepherd said private funds,
such as Hartman’s, will be used
until “the time comes — and it
must come — that public health de¬
partments and other agencies can
appropriate funds for this. 99

Poverty Program
Offers Benefits r
To Rural People
New avenues of economic de¬
velopment will be opened up to
low-income rural families under
provisions of the Economic Oppor¬
tunities Act, a spokesman for the
Farmers Home Administration told
a regional gathering of FHA per¬
sonnel in Atlanta.
Howard national admin¬
istrator of the organization, de¬
scribed the “poverty program” as
the first really correlated attempt
to deal with the causes of poverty
— both ruarl and urban — and
said that it will enable the Farm*
ers Home Administration to be far
more effective in helping the rural
people who are really at the bot¬
tom of the income scale.
Three major areas of concern
for his organization, Mr. Bertsch
continued, will be the rural poor,
the family farm, and the rural
community.
“Boxed-in” farm families with no
place to go — the “poorest of the
poor may obtain capital they
need to increase their farm in¬
comes under provisions of the pro¬
gram. Sucha capital would take the
form of $1,500 grants subject to
the same planning and supervision
that has gone into the loan pro¬
gram carried out by the organiz¬
ation since the early 1930’s.
This feature of the bill, he said,
has been widely misunderstood.
“We are not attempting to make
commercial farmers out of these
people. They win take the grant
and use it with managerial ability
they have to make life a little more
livable. By adding a small amount
to their income, they can remain
self-reliant. >9
The bill will also authorize help
to low-income rural families en¬
gaged in rural-based but non-agri
cultural enterprises such as the
production of handicraft items and
the development of small repair
shops for servicing household ap¬
pliances and farm machines.
The second aspect of the bill
would provide capital to non-profit
corporations of local leaders set up
in a community to aid young men,
with education and ability, to be¬
come farm owners. Such corpor¬
ations, with FHA loans, would buy
up farm lands as it became avail¬
able, reconstitute it into family
size farms and sell it at agricul¬
tural prices to young men deemed
likely to succeed.
The corporation, if the need
arises, can take a loss on the trans¬
action with the Farmers Home Ad¬
ministration making up the dif¬
ference. FHA loans would be avail¬
able, if needed, to the young men
purchasing the farms.
A third new area of work for
the FHA would be that of making
loans to small cooperatives whose
members are primarily from low
income groups. Such loans would
enable the cooperatives to achieve
efficiencies in operation through
the purchase of new machinery or
by other means.
“You cannot divorce the famiy
farm from the rural community
and you can’t build attractive com¬
munities without prosperous
farms,” the FHA administrator
said in emphasizing the organiz¬
ation’s interest in the community
as well as the individual farm.
He pointed out that it is help¬
ing rural communities build water
systems. Several of these are lo¬
cated in Georgia. It is helping
rural communities to develop com¬
munity recreation facilities. It is
assisting rural communities to de¬
velop housing for their senior citi¬
zens and farm laborers,
added.
