On that Thursday, civic, business and agricultural leaders met and formally adopted the Haywood Community Development program. During the three and a half months, the program has been like a giant snowball going down hill it is getting larger and picking up speed, which In this case is enthusiasm. On that Thursday night, a pro gram designed for "Better Living for Rural People" wis adopted. That meant a need for increased farm income. The surest way for increased farm Income, of course, is "increased production per per son, per acre, per animal unit." And with that as the goal, the pro gram of organizing each of 26 com munities was on in full swing. The first thing undertaken was naming six different commissions. There was a commission on burley, fruits-vegetables, dairying, poul try, beef cattle and forestry. These six commissions met, and set up goals and recommendations for the county as a whole. Then each commission staged seven meetings In the county, and with the aid of specialists, presented their goals and plans for making a "Better Living For Rural People." Some farmers showed more in terest in one commission's report than In others. It all depended upon their farm, and circumstances Community Development Program Another First In Tennessee Valley By W.

They wrote this article specially for The Mountain eers Farm Edition) in Community organization, such as that taking place Haywood county, is the fourth in a series of "firsts" the peo ple of the Tennessee Valley have chalked up for themselves in the past fifteen years. This represents accomplishment that any region could be proud of. It represents past progress in building a better life, and brighter hope for still better things to come. The organization of rural com munities is an outgrowth of these other three "firsts." It is the cap stone, really, of the work people in the Tennessee Valley have been doing to develop their resources to provide better opportunity for all our people. It promises to be the tool by which greater things can be done. It has come out of a growing awareness amort' our people that the satisfactions in life come from mastering the elements of our uni verse; from together building new and more vital economic and soc ial patterns out of the materials we have at hand; from giving each indvidual opportunity to grow to his highest possibilities by doing, by fitting into a larger pattern aim ed at enriching all life.
