Department of Agriculture has announced a 1973 Rural Environmental Assistance Program (REAP) that will strengthen con servation and diminish air and water pollution according to Emory Robinson, Chairman of the Madison County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. Robinson explained that through the REAP the Federal Government shares with farmers the cost (usually on a 50-50 basis) of carrying out needed conservation and environmental protection measures on their farms. Practices emphasized are those which help to provide long-range preservation of the environment and return greater benefits to the public. The initial funding level for 1973 will be $140 million, the same as the initial funding for the 1972 program. The $140 million level reflects on $85 million reduction from the Powell Named Chairman Opportunity Corporation Directors of the Opportunity Corporation of Madison Buncombe Counties Thurs day accepted the resignation of the Rev. R. E. Boggan Jr. as chairman, and of board member Mrs. Mildred Lyons. William P. Powell, phar macist and mayor of Mars Hill, was elected chairman to succeed Boggan. Powell was chairman of the anti-poverty agency for 18 months until February, 1970. Boggan has been chairman for the past 16 months. Boggan, pastor of Oakley United Methodist Church, explained that his resignation, effective at the meeting's conclusion, was because the requirements of his church position in which new con ference and district respon sibilities have been added in recent months did not allow time to fulfill the chair manship duties in the proper manner. The directors voted to seat Robert Edwards, Zeno Ponder and Harold Anderson as public members from Madison County and Rosa Lee Conley as community member from West Asheville. Before acting on the question, Ponder raised a point of order discussion with the chairman about authority of the board to accept or reject appointments made in ac cordance to law by governing bodies of counties. Ponder declared he had been an ac tive member of the Op portunity Corp. board except for being absent at four meetings. Cullowhee Over c Visiting Cullowhee ruined .'
