8. 1975 RCCAA Looks Forward foTest Year Joe Fowler, executive director of the Raleigh County Community Action Association, sees a year of "consolidation and improved efficiency" for the organization in 1975. The recent signing of fhe Community Service Act by President Ford should help make 1975 a better year for RCCAA. The act i provide continued funding for the agencies which were under the discontinued Office of Economic Opportunity. Rep.

Ken Hechler. a supporter of the legislation, said the new act designates all former OEO agencies as grantees of the Comm i i A i i a i effective Jan. 5. Fowler said Monday. "It's just wonderful news.

It's been extremely difficult to plan efficiently for the past one and a half years that we've been on ihe 90-day funding. Now we will be able to develop long-range plans and give much better service and to a larger group of people than before. We have a i a a a because he's been with us all along and has supported the original bill all through the move in the House and conference committee." a i "Although all community action organizations are now funded through Feb. 26. 1975.

am hopeful that the appropriations comm i will a i funding on an annual basis for the Community Services Administration, if not before Feb. 28. at least before the new fiscal year begins on July 1." "The community action programs in many areas." he said, "have served to help many persons, who Nozorene Church To Host Program Of Sacred Music otherwise could not have afforded a square meal, who lacked transportation for necessary trips to a physician, a hospital or for other necessary reasons, or those whose homes were falling down around them with no money for repairs. "These programs offer the youth, as well as the senior citizens, an oppor- i themselves--not with a handout, but with a "hand- up" provided by the CAP agencies." act a i operation of the CSA on a three-year basis. All Community Action programs formerly receiving annual grants of S300.000 or less will receive funding for the first year on an 30-20 matching basis, the second year on a 75-25 matching basis, and for the third year on a 70-30 matching basis.

Hechler said. Those community action agencies formerly receiving annual grants of $300.000 or more will be required to provide 20 per cent local funding for the first year, 30 per cent the second year, and 40 per cent the third year. Fowler siad the major goals, for RCCAA at present are moving into its new office building on i Raleigh County Armory- Civic Center on Armory Drive and expanding the transportation system to the point where it will be taken over and supported by the Beckley-Raleigh County Transit Authority. The 2.81 acres of land on which the new RCCAA office building is located, was leased from the West Virginia Commissioner of Public Institutions for a 30- year period. Construction of the--building began in August and after a slight a i RCCAA expects to move into the building by the end of this month.

a a i Remuneration Incentive Program (TRIP) was first planned in March when the West Virginia Public Service Commission granted a certificate of convenience to RCCAA. From this point on I was a a i i authorization and approval from the Department of Transportation before funds could be released.

Kay Knight, supervisor of the RCCAA transportation system, set up schedules a a the' convenience of the people needing transportation.

Fowler hopes that in 1975 RCCAA will be able to add more vehicles and set up a terminal. He also said that he hopes the Beckley- Raleigh County Transit Authority will be able to take over the program. "If the city and county can take over the tran- sporation system, funds i be i tributed to another project. Usually community action a i a i operate transit programs. But there is a great need for a good transit system in the area and 'community action is trying hard to get one," RCCAA director.

"With the transporation system operated by the city, the funds will be used i-n a i a creating the enlargement of rural fire departments. This is something that is needed badly throughout the area." Fowler said. Looking back on the accomplishments in 1974. Fowler pointed out that the i a achievement was the creation of the Raleigh County Interagency Council. "The i a organized in August and is basically a social service directory.

The council is comprised of state, federal and local social service agencies and also some private agencies. All of the organizations get together to coordinate and survey their work in a particular area." Fowler said. According to Fowler it took some time to establish any type of cooperation with the county and city agencies because RCCAA a i "viable." "Now with the council each agency will be able to serve more people and provide total service to the entire countv." Body Recovered a a (UP!) The body of Ronnie E.

Now she is 22. and, the latest queen of Euro-' pean pornography. She's the star of "French Blue," successful in New York, and she was Penthouse's cover girl last July. "I don't even like to look at people she said during an interview, looking and sounding like an innocent teen-ager. "I'd like it if I could live only in my sexual dream world.

Pornography lets me do that. I'm working in an open, almost artistic way, and pornography helps liberate people, helps them understand their hidden desires. So when they put it down, man I say to. hell i i i middle-class values!" Brigitte is tall (5 feet 8 inches), a a i and living what she considers an ideal life. She was back to visit her a a i i i a Parochial High School.

That last part didn't go over very well, she said. "Like, first my high- school friends would be shocked at what I was doing. And then they'd be afraid I was going to steal away their old men. They thought I was perverted, but they were the ones who were perverted. Most of them are married to each other now and have kids and conform to all the rules, even though they're still young.

They're just like their parents." She was determined to avoid that fate, Brigitte said, and that's why she went to Los Angeles. "I got off the plane and wow. man. I was in love with the place. It's not cold like Chicago.

I worked here and there, and finally got a job as a topless dancer, and then I made some little films, you know, and got i a Sweden, where I was in a movie called 'School For Scandal."
