To Help Rural Areas
Many rural people have heard
industry talked so long that they
have become discouraged over
receiving aid in rural develop
ment, Mr.. Khayat continued. The
purchase of the 24-ton bulldozer
by the county board is the first
concrete step in this rural devel-
opment, he said, with the purpose
of balancing off our industries
with rural development to giee
the county a complete and well
rounded program.
Recently a group of experts
from Mississippi State college

said. Following their inspection
they told US that our county was
ideally suited to a permanent pas

committee, one person from each
