Two years ago, Cambridge,
Maryland second largest city
on the state’s Eastern Shore—
was in a state of economic de
pression. K systematic shut
down of a major food packaging
plant and continued declines in
other, industries had left not
only Cambridge but all of Dor
chester County in an economic
ally precarious position. •
More than 12 per cent cf the
total work force was idle. Mer
chants were giving up ,their
leases. The lucky ones moved
out, the others just shut up shop.
The prospects were pretty
bleak when four bright young
businessmen formed the Indus
trial Committee of. the Cam
bridge Chamber of Commerce.
' First they analyzed their prob
lem. then they drew up an im
pressive list of their assets, and
finally they laid cut a plan for
getting economy back on its feet.
' The committee raised funds in
Cambridge—ss here, $10 ( there,
occasionally a SIOO contribution
With these funds they financed
brochures explaining the Abba's
advantages for business, find
they traveled across the crftnv
try, contacting business and in
dustry leaders—selling them on
establishing new operations in
Cambridge.
There was no magic formula—
just hard work, determination
and enthusiasm. And the re
sults were impressive: A boat
company, a textile firm, a book
publisher. Later, with the help
of funds from the Area Rede
velopment Administration, Cam
bridge was able to help in the
publishing firm's expansion and
in the attraction of a food pro
cessing firm. Still latter, the
pommunity’s plans for a deeo
sea port facility 1 materialized,
thanks to ARA’s help and an
other seafood company invested
heavily in Cambridge.
This is the kind of self-sta.t
ing effort that the Area Rede
velopment program needs to
make it a success. In fact,
when Congress wrote the act. it
placed such importance on local

initiative, local investment and
local planning that it stipulated
that. areas must prepare an
Overall Eeonomic Development
Program before ARA could act
on specific requests for funds to
help finance specific job-generat
ing projects.
This was a mandate to people
of the stricken areas to get off
their front porches, roll up their
sleeves and go to work—in one
of the most competitive busi
nesses that exist in the United
States today. With more than
14,000 organizations engaged in
economic development activities
across the nation, with their
numbers fnultiplying daily, with
their sales kits bulging with de
velopment lures, the job of
building new businesses to cre
ate new jobs hardly can be left
to chance.
Actually, local programming
of economic development is the
most important single ingredi
ent in the Area Redevelopment
Act. It calls upon a community
to make a critical analysis of it
self—to assess its problems, to
draw up a balance sheet of its
manpower assets and liabilities,
its natural resources, its physi
cal resources, its public facilities
And then it calls for the map
ping of a plan of action.
The overall economic plan
;hould be drawn up by a repre
sentative local organization-••
with its membership drawn
from the ranks of labor as well
as management, agriculture as
well as banking, educators as
well .as elected officials. It
should, in short, depend on tne
movers and shakers of the com
munity, each of whom has
something important to contri
bute to economic development.
Economic planning ca.n pro
vide industries with information
on plant location. It can lead
j to development of “home-grown”
industries those smaller firms
which utilize resources peculiar
to an area and thus help diver
sify the economy and provide
more, and a greater variety of
jobs. It can lead to new ven
tures in the fast-growing field.
.of recreation and tourism. It
'can help ease the increasing im
! pact of technology or automa
tian. It can help develop pro-
I grams that will teach workers
! new and marketable skills.
Probably the most important
thing to remember about an
Overall Economic Developmen*
Program is this: It must be
more than just an attractive
package, tied up in a pretty
ribbon and left to gather dust
on a shelf. It must be a living
document, providing the local
organization with a sense of di
rection. purpose and progress if
it is to serve its basic purpose—
as a road map to a healthier
! economy that can provide more
jobs for more people.

j Health And
Safety Tips
I From Tbs American
Medical Association
Hot Weather Diseases
Winter is commonly the time
for colds and flue and sneezes,
but there are some diseases and
accidents that do their worst in
hot weather.
Some of these are obvious.
Sun strokes and heat strokes are
more likely to occur in August
than in January. Too much ex
posure and too much exercise in
hot the sun may produce sun
stroke. Prolonged excessive heat,
either in or out of doors, can
cause heat stroke. The symp
toms are the same and in either
case it is important to keep the
victim cool and call a physician
at once.
Sunburn has hospitalized many
a vacationer. Everyone should
know that gradual exposure to
the sun, beginning with a few
•minutes a day, is the recom
mended course. But many of us
forget to take precautions in the
excitement of the first day at
camp or seashore.
Poliomyelitis occurs most of
ten in the summer. Vaccine can
prevent paralysis. If you and
your family haven’t had your
polio boosters this summer, by
all .means get vaccinated now.
The bacteria that cause diar
rhea multiply much faster in
luke-warm foods and it’s im
portant to keep cold foods in
refrigeration and to keep hot
foods hot.
Swimming is fine exercise and
also is good for cooling off on
a hot day. Those with sinus or
ear troubles should be careful
about swimming. Swimmers
should make certain that the
water is safe from pollution. A
clear mountain stream may look
attractive. It also may be load
ed with germs. And there still
are cases each summer of ty
phoid and dysentery from drink
ing untreated water. Camper';
can disinfect water bv boiling or
by commercial disinfectant ta
bles.
If there are horses or cow
around, there are likely to be
tetanus germs. Tetanus can he
very serious. It can be prevent-
