Each of the four counties involv ed in the association submitted at least one plan. These counties are Halifax, Northampton, Hert ford and Bertie. All previous plans by Choanoke had been four county plans such as the Head Start program, a program development proposal to establish county offices, and a proposal to develop an audio visual aid center system for the six school districts in the area. Halifax Plan The plan submitted by the Hal ifax County group was called a “Rural Renewal Proposal” and involved an environmental sani tation plan. It was prepared with the cooperation of the Halifax County Health Department. The information used was developed by the Halifax County Commis- BE IN A POSITION TO GET $ 2 01 u.| OR MORE PER BALE ABOVE THE GOVT. LOAN Extra Cotton Income Through Assn.

Sion on Community Health Serv ices In cooperation with the Na tional Commission throughafed- eral grant starting In 1963. The reports shows that while 24,000 persons in the county have access to adequate water sup plies, the 35,000 majority are de pendent upon rural wells and that over half of these are inadequate and unsanitary. These same 35,000 persons al so utilize septic tanks and pit privies. Many of these are deem ed to contribute to contamination of water supplies. The proposal calls for a Fed eral grant of $103,904.22 plus contributions of services by the county of $13,390.00 for a pro gram valued at $117,294.22. The program calls for the employ ment of 12 persons to include a public health educator, public health nurse, two sanitarian aides, a construction foreman and other assistants to work in the field of rural sanitation and health. The plan also provides for consulting services. Northampton County Plans The proposal submitted by the Northampton County Develop ment Association Include ten sep arate sections aimed at various problems that have been identi fied within the county. The library service plan would expand services to rural fami lies, especially those connected with the children of “HeadStart” families. The cost of this pro posal would be $41,508, Another plan would extend homemaker services to deprived families. The plan would use pro fessional help to train local homemakers who would work with poor families to extend their budgets. This would require $24,- 675. A third plan would employ a public health educator to work with rural families to improve home conditions. This calls for $9,775. The home demonstration com ponent would add three assist ants to the current program at a cost $21,819. A recreational program would operate under a county commis sion and would employ adirector and two summer assistants. This would require $12,384. An agricultural extension pro gram would use two special agents to develop a land use pro gram that would expand forestry services which do not now re ceive adequate attention. This budget calls for $16,915. One plan calls for a sanitary aide to expand the county’s cur rent program. It calls for funds of $7,900. The public health plan calls for two additional trained nurses to work with the health depart ment. They would initial concen trate on family planning and tu berculous projects. This would require $13,820. All of the plans call for 90% federal participation with the ten per cent balance supplied through the use of county personnel and office facilities. It may be pos sible that Northampton County will come under 100% provisions because of Its low family income average.
