C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1936. 9 New Regional Booklet Describes Activities Of The 1 first regional jmmphlst de scribing .f?ettletnent and, JrebAbilita- tlon activities' has" just been issued from the Division of Information of the Resettlement Administration's regional office, Raleigh , N. C Mr. John H. Fope, who is rehabili tation supervisor for the resettle ment administration in Chowan, Gates and Perquimans Counties pre sented this newspaper with a copy today. In addition to giving the origin, background and purpose of the re a settlement administration, the - book let gives a rather .thorough explana tion of rehabilitation- and resettle ment which are the itwo major phases of the resettlement adminis tration program in North Carolina, Tennesse, Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia, the states comprising Region .IV. It also tells who is re sponsible for the program, outlines the activities and projects which hav e been started in this region. "More people will be reached im mediately under the rehabilitation phase than the resettlement phase," the booklet states. Figures are given in the booklet showing the breakdown by states of rehabilitation families being cared for, the total quota for Region IV be ing 51,000 families. While quotas are not listed by counties, Mr. Pope steted that a quota of 62 rehabilita tion families has Deen assigned to Chowan County. Under the rehabilitation program foans and practical supervision are extended for the purchase of seed, fertilizer and equipment to enable -'farm families to get on their feet again. These are the families who are in an emergency situation and must be given a chance to help them selves immediately. The booklet de scribes the method by which these rehabilitation families are assisted. The resettlement phase is describ ed as a more permanent part of the program. It is based on the fact that "There is plenty of good land and that it is a social and economic waste to continue to cultivate un profitable acreage." In the resettlement phase two kinds of projecVs are undertaken. One has to do with acquiring poor land areas or lands unsuited to suc cessful agriculture and developin them for the purpose to which they are best adapted. The other has to do with acquiring good land areas and developing them into model farmsteads. The first are called land utilization projects. The sec ond are called rural resettlement or agricultural resettlement eommuni ties. A table gives the name and location of twenty-five land utiliza tion projects in Region TV which have been approved for purchase and development involving a total of 40234 acres of land at a cost of $3,888,199 and a total development cost of $5,526,136. A daily average of 12,625 men will -be employed on these projects. PAGE THREE .mm Start The New Year Right!
