Rural Development Has Deep Roots Here Has Been Big Force In Farming Progress . !? Community development's slogan, "There's no limit to what a community can do. if it wants to," has deep roots in Macon County. This rural program has con tributed more to the social and economic welfare of this agri cultural county than any single force in the past decade. The results ? all of them pleasing ? may be seen from one end of the county to the other. Its force is measured in neat uniform mailboxes with name plates; in lush green pastures and home gardens; in tidy cemeteries and gleaming coun ,-try churches; In community centers and picnic areas; and in a better standard of living for everyone. Then too, there are the in tangibles; things like a genu ine togetherness between towns people and those in the rural areas, a stronger bond between churches, schools, and homes. These are the things that count In the community de velopment program. Holly Springs Community in 1952 was the first from Macon County to enter the W.N.C. Rural Community Development Contest. Another progressive community, Carson, came next and the county pinned its hopes on these two in the area event. Holly Springs spent about J74, OM on Improvements and Car son, although late starting, shelled out some $37,000. Holly Springs took over an old one room school that was aban doned during consolidation and turned it into the first com munity center in the county. Carson later raised enough money to build a modern con crete block center that doubles as the community library. With churches as the founda tion for the program, Macon County in 1963 organized its own county contest and offer ed $1,050 to the best communi ties. The fact that Franklin merchants donated most of the prize money helped erase the friction that once existed be tween town and county and quite suddenly the two factions found they were pulling togeth er toward a common goal of making their county a better place in which to live. Thir teen communities actively com peted for the prize money. From this point on, commun ity development's slogan was turned into a striking, visible example of what people can do ?

DRYMAN'S Men And Boy's Store by working together. Churches were built and Im proved, uniform mailboxes made the task of locating some one in a community an easy matter, public picnic areas be caipe common along the main highways, and farm families started rolling up their sleeves to make life easier for them selves and their neighbors. To show their appreciation to the Franklin businessmen supporting the program, the communities at the end of the contest year held a "thank you dinner" in their honor. One is now held every year and no businessman has complained of not getting enough to eat! In 1953, Macon County broke into area prominence when its top community, Patton, won fourth place. In its third year <1954), com munity development reached its peak in numbers with 21 communities organized. Pace setting Holly Springs came into its own by winning the county j contest and then getting $100 honorable mention in the area event. Those claiming that lightn ing never strikes twice in the same place were Jolted when Holly Springs won the county contest again in 1955. This development, as it turn ed out, was just a forecast of things to come because Holly Springs won first place and $500 in the W.N.C. contest. In this winning year, the 63-fam ily community showed a 300 per cent increase in poultry endeavors (hatching eggs) and a 75 per cent jump In beef cattle. In addition. Holly Springs had a balanced program of improved farm and home man agement, with emphasis on in creasing farm income. Its top projects convered a wide range of farm, home, and church activities. Today, eight years since the program began. Macon County has 11 communities participat ing in community development. This smaller number, however, does not Indicate a weakening or a lack of interest In the pro gram. "I would like to say that the overall program is much stronger now than it was when 22 communities were entered," County Agent Pagg declares. "Those entered now have parti cipated for a number of years and have grown stronger." Bach year now at least one or two communities new to the Galley 2 ? Rural Development ? program have organized. The novelty has worn off and those competing today are genuinely interested and are willing to work for a better way of life. This year's newcomer, Lake Emory, already has raised nearly $1,000 to assure a new road through its area and as WAS GEORGIA NATIVE ? < Gunnin, War Veteran, Succumbs In Hospital William Dewey Okinnln, Sr., 61 -year-old veteran of World War n. died November 28 at 2 a. m. in the Veterans Hospi tal at Oteen. He had been in declining health for some time. A native of Winder, Ga., he for several years owned and operated the Franklin Amuse ment Parlor and was a restaur i soon as the road Is completed it will begin erecting road signs and uniform mailboxes. National recognition also has come Macon County's way be cause of the rural program. Some time back, a T.V.A. tour attended by persons from all over the United States toured Holly Springs and had lunch at the community center. The interest of these people in community development work is reflected In the large number of letters they've writ ten back. Community development has done a lot toward attracting I retirement people. Most of them are looking for a good place to retire and live and one look at Macon County's com munity development "Frontier" is all that 1s needed to convince them they've found the right place. ant manager for a number of years.
