Before the evening's main feature, Dr. Robert Anschuetz, president of the club, announced that the meeting Feb. 3 would be devoted to a panel discussion. Primary subject of the discussion, he said, would be the club's sponsorship of the Civic Orchestra's annual pops concert in May.

He mentioned even one possi bility of calling on the club members for a J10 individual assessment to substitute for all money- raising projects.

By JIM telegraph staff Writer CARBONtiALE A delegation of 65 Edwardsville residents unanimously endorsed a plan Monday for starting a development program 'With the help of Southern Illinois A versity.

Chartering two, buses, the group came to the campus and spent the day in meetings with members of Southern's depart-, ment of community development. As a result of the sessions, a 12-man steering committee was named to cooperate with Bailey Williams, university community consultant, who will hold meetings in Edwardsville and help the committee set up the mechanics of initiating a series of community surveys to search out the problems retarding Edwards- viile's growth. Describes Program The community development program of the university, which Richard W. Poston, director, described as "probably the largest and most comprehensive in the United States," is aimed toward helping people build better communities. In his introductory remarks Poston told the group that Madison County is "a sort of stepchild, tied to the other side of the river." Giraffes are completely voiceless, but giraffe mothers can make a whistling sound to call their youngsters.

"If you're going to develop the full potential of your community," Poston said, "You're going to have to do it yourselves. You will have to develop own metropolitan area, with its own plant sites and its own cultural and social potential." Poston presented mimeographed copies of ah "organizational structure" of an East St. Louis community development program," which he said the uni versity and a volunteer East St. Louis group called "Community Progress, Inc." had worked out. However, he said the East St.

Louis program is intended as a program that will embrace the entire area, including Madison County and cities therein. "We feel that if we can get the peopled that area to discuss intelligently their; problems, 'we will have a start," he said. Poston said that developing the area would mean a "new era of prosperity for Southern Illinois since the sector is tied economically to "Vast Agrarian Illi nois." He called citizen apathy and indifference the "most basic community problem 'in the world" and declared that unless it can be solved "you won't be able to solve any other community problem." A series of round table discussions, made up of six groups composed of the 63 volunteers brought out what its members thought were the most pressing neds of Edwardsville. They in eluded: more industry, a hos Pital, recreation facilities, public transportation, college education facilities and better cooperation among its people. Competitive Business However, Poston reminded th group that attracting industry a the most competitive business in the world.
