Tuition.
1T is clear" he said, that
no grant is made to any school
and equally clear that no part
of a grnat need necessarily

not necessary that the child

The judge said he thought
it noteworthy that nowhere in
the language of the tuition

Judge Pye's ruling is expected
to be appealed by the Atlanta

New Financial Aid
Offered Alaskans
Through RAD

Rural Area Development-what
is t? What does it mean to
people IN Alaska? How does It
affect ne and what should | Do
about it These are all common
questions around the state. Dean
Arthur S. Boswell, director of
the Cooperative Extension Serv-
ice and dean of the Division Of
Statewide Services at the Unives-
sity of Alaska, offered some f
the answers after touring the
state with John A. Baker, federal
chairman of the Rural Areas De-
velopment Board of the I. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, and
George E. Bradley, western area
coordinator of the new program.
During meetings at Fairbanks,
Palmer and Homer. Baker ex-
planned that the Rural Area De-
velopment (RAD) office was es-
tablished about five weeks ago to
expand and accelerate the econ
omy of rural areas. The Secre-
tary of Agriculture has directed
all u. S. Department of Agricul-
tare agencies. tosuse all available
program resources to help RAD
committees wit h their plans
wherever they may be needed.
He went on to explain that a
basic requirement to any area
program is local
action, and that he and Bradley
were here because of the en-
thusiasm and initiative of the
Fairbanks RAD committee and
other Alaskans in their letters
and communications to their con-
gressmen.
Baker pointed out that under
new legislation and by better use
of present legislative authorized
loan funds, grants and other

coordinate new and old legisla-

Both Baker and Bradley en-
phasized that RAD can only be
as effective as the local people
make it. mo one in Washington
can initiate the program, the
local people must decide what
they want, plan it, and carry it
out. Government agencies can

said. I'VE can designate an area
so that certain loan funds will be
available, but it is up to the
local people to carry out the OBJ
iectives with technical help from
local government agencies"
According to DR.. Boswell, any
one interested should contact
their local Extension Agent who
will help with organizing COM
mittee. Technical panels made up
of personnel from federal agen-
cies will be available to assist
RAD committees with organiza-
ton and application of the pro-
gram. However, Boswell added,
federal personnel will participate
only to the extent requested.
This is a program for local peo-
pie, and operated by local people.
