He is Sam Newton of Sampson County, N.C., who received an $1,800 loan to buy a chain saw and a used truck. With this equipment, he will be able to become an independent pulpwood cutter and hauler. As such, he expects to work year round and increase his earnings to $3,500 year as well as give employment to two helpers. Altogther, Negro workers and farmers received 49 percent of the rural Economic Opportunity on loans that have been made in the 14 Southern States since last January when this phase of the anti poverty program was launched. "This program," said Secretary of Agriculture Orville L.

Freeman, "has given the Department a new tool to improve our services to minority groups." Referring to Newton, the Secretary added, "the loan to him typifies what is being accomplished through the Economic Opportunity Act to help low income rural families build up their substandard incomes from farming or other work." Newton will repay his loan at the rate of $20 a month. He has up to 15 years to repay it at 4'g percent interest. The first 10,0000 rural Economic Opportunity loans total about $17 million.

Au9. I. Ml THE COURIEK People in the News By WHITELAW MacBRIDE CAPILOSE: Wouldn't you know it! There is this very religious Pittsburgh church woman who was pulling a hush hush sneak in one of the town's better hotels with a certain gadabout. After extolling the virtues of morality for "part" of the evening, she ended the set by by asking if it would be okay if she "borrowed" the Bible she spied in the dresser drawer. The guy emphatically told her, "No good" The very eligible Pittsburgh bachelor apparently backtracked on his intentions of putting his favorite girl on a shelf.

After telling friends it was all over, it seems he is now doing business at the same old stand. He can even be seen driving her short Friction seems to be growing between certain civil rights groups in the Steel City.

A kinda skinny Pittsburgh broad was invited to one of the downtown hotels for an early in the yawning set.

A laughster with a trunkful of material, Rogers also cracks on current events: "I've been backing the Anti Poverty Program all my life.

I was born poor" Sometimes things can work in reverse, for those seeking the public eye. Take Gloria Jon, for instance, the 24 year old beauty who was stripped of her "Miss New York State" title. She made headlines all over the country, had her picture splashed on national teevee, and has been the subject of street corner discussions on whether or not discrimination was behind the "regretful" letter sent her by Ted Marshall, promoter of the contest.

One example is the Reading Institute at Virginia State College, where elementary teaeners and principals are concluding an eight week progiam.
