areas, Mr.. Hodges said:
People resent being called
a depressed area. But on the
other hand they reach out
for Federal grants.

comment that the term de
pressed" is phychologically bad,
Mr.. Hodges unlimbered him
self of some indiVidualistic
philosophy:

board Of county commissioners
I would say Ito the board)
Let's not try to qualify for
