nairt Bn dwell. "that students of
vocational agncultuie and mem
bei s of the FFA arc training for
occupations in both farming and
agnbusiness Because of oui ex
panded inteicsts and the desue
of our members to be associated
with agncultuic, we feel it is
essential to build strong rural
communities where they can live
and work in agriculturally ie
latcd jobs This will be possible
only if jobs are available and
i ural communities are desirable
places in which to live and
woik,” he said.
The Building Oui American
Communities program is a joint
effort of the FFA, the U S Office
of Education and the Farmeis
Home Admimstiation (FHA). an
agency of the United States De
railment of Agncultuie The
FHA has piepaiecl a “Guide to
Undei standing and Developing
Communities” foi use by vo ag
instiuctois in the high school
vocational agncultuie classioom
The guide outlines discussion
that can be ielated to any com
munity and includes topics such
as identifying the wants and
needs of the local community,
analyzing the lesouices available
foi community impiovcment
and how to cany out constiuc
tive pi ejects foi impiovmg the
community
A second phase of the pi ogi am
will involve FFA members in
community action piojects
Chapteis will be encouiaged to
take on constiuctive piojects that
will impiove then communities
Some piojects being suggested
include suiveys of community
land, water, manpowei and trans
poitation lesouices, job surveys,
envuonmental clean up and con
tiol and community health and
safety piojects
As we view Ameuca’s futuie,
it becomes moie evident that
rural Ameuca must help find
solutions to the pioblems of con
gested uiban centeis,” said Bud
well in announcing the progiam
“The overpopulation of cities can
be i educed,” he explained, “pio
vided that sufficient ]obs, ade
quate housing and municipal fa
cilities can be secuied.to make
uual and semnuial aieas moie
attractive places in which to live
and woik ”
