Blacks Migrate From Depressed Economies This is the last in a s^-ies of six articles on the Caucus of Ulack Democrats issues for the 1976 presidential election. By Hoy le H. Martin Sr. Post Staff Executive The Caucus of Black Demo crats has noted that, histori cally, there has been a large migration of black and poor people out of the rural areas and small towns and into larger urban centers. The pri mary motivating factors for such moves have been better job and educational opportuni ties and the overall hope for a better and higher standard of living The rural areas and small towns suffer to a large degree from depressed economies, poor living conditions and con stant loss of its human re sources. Added to and contri buting to the problem is the presence of diplapidated hous ing. little or no water and sewer systems, poor mass transit if any. and a basic lack of social and community faci lities particularly for the needs of young people. The CBL) issues paper then says, "Yet the increasingly burdensome problems which have faced urban dwellers in recent years have brought à new look at opportunities in smaller towns. To improve life in these non-urban areas, it is necessary that certain policies be implemented by the federal government." The CBD recommends that : 1. The Kural Development Act be amended to require the establishment of quantitative goals for progress under the Act. 2. The federal government must contribute to the econo mies of rural-samll town ar eas by instituting financial programs to encourage indus try to locate plants in such areas and by placing federal facilities at strategic loca tions. 3. Providing housing subsi dies for rural and small town areas on a par with that of the larger urban areas. 4. Institute programs to stop the loss of small black owned rests. 5. Establish an independent federal agency for rural and small town affairs or at least the creation of an assistant secretary for rural affairs. On the issue of energy, the CBD issues paper says in part, "Since the Arab Oil embargo and the ensuing en ergy -crisis', Americans have paid a great deal of attention to the creation of a national eneregy policy, but scant at tention has been paid to the impact of energy policy on the poor and minorities." The problem of energy cost and availability directly af fects the standard of living of the minority population. As the cost of such utilities rises, a larger portion of the income of poor and minority house holds will be affected than will be with other income groups. - The CBD suggests a number of specific actions and policies that must be adopted by the federal government and the provate sector to protect low income persons or families. These include subsidies in energy cost for the poor; the making of energy conserva tion a focus of energy policy; partial subsidy for health and welfare agencies, schools etc.; the seeking out. of new sources of energy; and the creating of a publicly owned gas, oil and rail system; and have black participation at the energy policy making level. nuiim···!» St. Michael's To Hear Dr. Bertha Maxwell . uviuia iUUAMCIl, L/ilCV tor of Black Studies at Univer sity of North Carolina at Char lotte will be Guest Speaker at •a noon Luncheon at St. Mi chael and All Angels Episco pal Church on Sunday, July 4, as part of Bi-Centennial activi ties sponsored by the church located at the corner of 17th and Caldwell Streets and pas tored by Rev.

Ο Herron Plans To Form "I F our New Commissions Flans for state aid in helping cities and counties in identify ing and solving local problems will be a major part of his administration, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ed O'Herron says. O'Herron says that if he is elected he will create a Town and Country Commission to ' work with him in shaping state government. The Commission, to be com posed of local officials from all areas of the state, would iden tify local problems and find resources for their solutions. The Commission would deve lop a coordinated program for dealing with the complex pro blem of North Carolina's towns and rural areas. O'Herron said that in his travels across the state, local officials have complained to him about the red tape in Raleigh bogging down pro grams and increasing costs. "The state is suffering be cause of the bureaucracy that has been built in Raleigh during the Holshouser-Hunt administration," O'Herron said. "Our citizens are fed up and I don't blame them.Some now in high places in state govern ment seem more interested in the system than in the ser vices. I intend to do something about it as soon as I become governor." O'Herron said there is no shortage of problems. He list ed some of them as health, housing, high crimes, traffic congestion, the handling of solid waste and the growing need for clean water. "The overriding problem for local and state govern ments is one ,of public fi nance," the candidate said. "The question for local go vernment is how to pay for needed services without exor bitant increases in ad valorum taxes."
