VOLUME LXXVI?NO. 14 6Q0NE, WATAUGA COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1963 PRICE TEN CENTS
Area T o Share In $14 Million Drive On Poverty
j
Governor Terry Sanford of
North Carolina Monday an
nounced a sweeping, 14 million
dollar campaign by the State
against a multitude of social
Ills, in an attack against edu
cational and economic prob
lems that have trapped many
citizens in what Sanford called
a "cycle of poverty."
Watauga County, Sanford
said, has already submitted teat
stive plans for Its part la the
important new program, along
with three other mountain coun
ties singled ant as being in dir
est need of state aid? Mitchell,
Yancey, and Avery.
Fund officials have stated
that such mountain counties as
Watauga seem to have "the
heaviest concentrations" of un
employment, school dropouts. Il
literacy, poor housing and low
income, and have therefore been
selected as the most immediate
targets areas for the campaign.
The program, tentatively
planned for five years in du
ration but destined perhaps to
last as long as desperate need
exists in any part of the state,
is financed by a seven million
dollar grant by the Ford Foun
dation (the largest amount it
has ever given to a statewide
cause), as well as heavy back
ing from two Winston-Salem
foundations, the Z. Smith Reyn
olds Foundation and the Mary
Reynolds Babcock Foundation.
The rest of the money, Sanford
said, is "in sight from matching
funds."
The governor made clear that
the campaign will be a Joint ef
fort between the fund and the
communities that are chosen to
receive aid, with the localities
planning and administering
their own programs. Pilot pro
jects will probably include Wa
tauga County.
Though the plan as yet lacks
specifics, such projects as these
have been mentioned: preschool
training for children from dis
advantaged homes, better voca
tional training, adult education,
additional health programs, im
proved libraries, expanded rec
reation programs and employ
ment aids.
The fund will sponsor one
statewide project immediately
? a four million dollar program
to Improve the teaching of read
ing, writing and arithmetic in
the first three elementary
school grades. Half the money
for this will come from the
Ford Foundation, the rest from
localities.
Autumn Paints Hills And Valleys
The peaks of Grandfather Mountain and other high points in
the North Carolina mountains are again ablaze with the
beauty of Autumn colors. The best color at high elevations
it during early October, and later in the month the brilli
ance of the foliage reaches to the valleys and foothills. ?
