cy also issued proposed regula-
tions to:
*Make it easier for farm-
ers or their families to lease
or buy back homesteads that
have been lost through foreclo-
sure or conveyance;
*Set up a program to help
members of minority and soc-
ially disadvantaged groups to
purchase farmland and devel-
op an outreach program to car-

from the rest of the Agency to
handle borrower grievances;
*Certify and participate in

Bl^^ucts that we see every day. Often, we do not associate brand

Workers were making significant progress on the Paducah Swimming Pool, when this photo
was taken Monday morning. The filter pit has been cleaned out and is being revamped, with
new plumbing, pumps, and filter materials. When the pool work is completed, tentatively by the
