Rural Electric
Goals Expanded
Farmers Home Admini-
stration and electric coopera-
tives must unite and “provide
the strength and wallop” to
make the 1970s a decade for
rural development, James V.
Smith FmHA administrator
emphasized last week in Hous-
ton during the 30th annual
meeting of Texas Electric Co-
operatives, Inc.
The need to expand the goals
of rural electric systems from
merely providing power to en-
hancing the total quality of
rural life was the message
conveyed to the more than
800 rural electric leaders and
during the August 12-14 ses-
sions.
“There is no alternative
for the future," Smith said,
“but to improve rural hous-
ing and the quality of living
for all rural people, no al-
ternative but to make our
communities more modern
and more attractive so that
they can expand economically
and provide the kind of job
opportunities that rural peo-
ple must have,"
Smith said that FmHA’s
modernized financing pro-
grams, streamlined loan pro-
cedures, and the support of
private groups—especially
the rural electric systems—
have resulted in more people
receiving more loans to im-
prove more rural communi-
ties. “Some of the things you
have been doing in the rural
electrification area and some
of the things the Farmers
Home Administration has been
doing in housing, community
development, and in farm cre-
dit are paying off in a con-
crete, visible way."
The FmHA head cited sta-
tistics which show the in-
creased housing aid his agen-
cy has given the rural people
of Texas.
