Some Small Towns
Are V small towns coming
bade? Some are.
Surveys show many dty
people would rather live in a
small town.
VWhether a small town
grows, or begins to wither,
often depends upon the
determination of local
people,” says- Will Erwin,
assistant secretary for rural
development of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
“Towns with a ‘we can do
it* attitude will go out and
bring in Job-producing

get this done? The answer is
“yes,” according to
Assistant Secretary Erwin,
if you are willing to work at
it. He cites the story of
Livingston, Alabama, as it
appears in the May' 8, 1974,
issue of the Congressional
Record.
Livingston had been going
downhill for 20 years-losing
people annually. By the mid
1960’5, it was thin and guant.
Jobs were lacking-living
conditions were poor
streets, many unpaved, were
pitted with potholes.
Potential employers took one
look and kept going. In
surance companies
threatened to cancel fire
policies due to undependable
water mains.
A crushing blow came in
1965 when the state con
demned the tottering town’s
water system and ordered it
to stop dumping its raw
sewage into the Sucar
noochee River.
Now it was sink or swim.
The town decided to swim.
City fathers joined hands

Rural Development Com
mittee. They quarter-backed
a community movement that
led to a master plan. From
that plan, work groups set
out to give Livingston a new
destiny.
One group worked on new
jobs. Today five industries,

persons from miles around,

park. Livingston reversed its
long mass outmigration of
native sons-many had been
forced to seek employment
in distant cities.
Several new businesses
have been established. Old
houses were renovated and
some new ones built-a
product of more prosperity.
And there was something to
do around town.
The area’s new water
system provides water to
nieghboring communities.
Livingston has better
schools, churches, and more
community life. It has more
of what it takes, including
pride, to keep farms,
businesses, and homes
running. Livingston is on the
go!
Can other towns bootstrap
themselves into better
places to live and work?
Federal rural development
loans and other assistance,
according to Assistant
Secretary Erwin, are
available. “But those
communities-that take the
initiative to achieve and
guide development, as a
rule, will benefit most from
it,” the official concluded.
Animals Are Toxic
to Fertilizer
Nitrogen and potassium
salts in fertilizers are toxic
to animals. Farmers and
home gardeners should be
very careful to keep these
salty-tasting fertilizers out of
the reach of all animals,
urges the Extension Service
Safety Committee of The
Pennsylvania State
University. If spillage occurs
in the garden or field, spread
the fertilizer around. This
will also prevent burning of
plants, adds the committee.
