Dr. Clarence Poe, President and Editor of The Progressive Farmer, and re- ; cently appointed by President Tru- j man as a member of the Advisory Board of the Point Four Program, isaid the whole South should profit from development of under-devel oped areas of the world under the Point Four program. The program, stated Dr Poe, is lot a “give-away” project, but aims to help foreign nations help them selves through industrial and agri cultural development. Dr. Poe de fined the immediate objective of the program’s committee as provid ing of employment in industry and progress in agriculture with the aid of technical assistance and sound investments by American capital. It is hoped that the program will achieve a degree of agricultural progress in many rural regions of the world comparable to that ac complished in our own South (through the Agricultural Extension .work of farm and home agents, i The interest of American busi- Less in the Point Four program is evidenced by the fact that Presi dent Truman secured Nelson A. Rockefeller as chairman of the aboard and Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., as a member. The President also appointed John L. Savage, chief designing engineer of the Hoover and Crand Coulee Dams, and, in dicating the great emphasis to be jasd on public health. Dr. Thomas ! Parr an, former Surgeon General of 'the United States. The South has a major interest in die groundwork of the program in that the chief organizer has been both to all the people thro- Jgh savings to the govern ment (accidents cost suff ering, time, money, and equipment) and to the! individual employees and their families i n human ives and happiness.

First aid training is some thing that we all could use. Many people have died or been permanetly disabled, as a result of improper | treatment by someone try ing to help them. Proper attention before the doctor j arrives may save someones life but the easiest and 'best way to give first aid *is to prevent the accident (before it happens. Most of us forget that accidents can happen anywhere and not just at work, they can and do happen at home. Loose objects on a stair way, a pan of boiling water in the reach of children, a dull axe, or a carelessly handled tool can be the cause of a serious accident, [An eye or an arm is a ah Jt As POE Capus Waynick of North Carolina, and groundwork for its activities was laid in the widely discussed Cordon Gray report, authored by the new president of the University of North Carolina.

This Decemper 8. 1950. Bill Atkins Commissioner Dec. 14—21—28, Jan. 4 v Pa A NEWS One of the moist practi cal loans made by the Far mers Home Administration < is called a Farm Develop- j tnent Loan. This is the same, type loan as those . Used, for farm purchase but differs in - that the appli- , canst already owns his farm l)ut is unable to make the necessary improvements to! enable the farm to make a l profit on all its acres. The ( loan may be uses for land ( development such as liming. , phosphating, permanent , seeding, fencing and neces- ( sary building, either new or , repair. The repayment per- , iod is 40 yearsi which is more than ample for the in creased profits obtained by improving the farm to re pay* the loan. yWith land prices higher than ever before it seems reasonable that it is more practical to improve pres ently owned acres than it is to bjiiy more land. The Farm Development loan vpas set irp to assist the farmer who wishes to make majoij changes or improve ments and does net have the necessary capital to get the job done within a reson able period of time. On farms that are in a poor state of cultivation the farm income is low. There fore. if other income is not available to use to make the necessary improve ments it is usually a pain ful job lasting several years since most of the income must be used for family living or necessary farm expense and very little is available for improve ments. If the farmer wants to go ahead and make his improvements within a short time credit is necess ary from some source. He would not be eligible for a loan from the Farmers Home Administration if he eould get credit from other sources at reasonable terms that he could he expected to meet. / Credit is often necessary and fine if used for purpos es that will increase the in come of a farm above the required repayments. A loan for a purpose that will not increase income is a poor investment and puts the borrower in a worse !
