istration, an agency of the IL Sa

held in the Reddy Room of the
Community Public Service
Division Office here, begin-
ning at 3 p.m., and which was
designed to show the business-
men what they must do to at-
tract industry to Whitewright.
The SB A is a permanent inde-
pendent government agency

and prosper by offering finan-
cial assistance.

terment. He explained that

prosper and assists in bring-
ing in new industry in a small
town. He also stated that

ing a national necessity.’

know and needs.
Community progress w s
discussed by Jerry Heare, who
is with the Texas Industrial
Commission in Austin. He dis-
cussed creating jobs for
Texans. Industrial prospects
must be sold by the entire com-
munity, according to Heare.
He went on to say community
improvement reflects the at-
titude of the whole town, and
that research and analysis is
important to a town so Indus**
tries can have all the informa-
tion about a town. He pointed
out that the local banker is the
key person and must assist
with financing. He concluded
by s aying the community work-
shops are set up for sight-
evaluation.
Wayion Nelson, a community
liaison specialist from SBA
in Dallas, showed a color film
‘Industry For San Miguel.’
Narration of the film showed
the mistakes one small town
made before it finally suc-
ceeded. Nelson followed with
questions and answers about
the film, pointing out that one
important thing is to keep all
the people of a community
informed and to gain the sup-
port of the entire community.
About 4:30, a coffee break
was taken which allowed
everyone to get acquainted^
Nelson resumed the r^et-
ing and spoke on the organiza-
tion for citizenjfemcipationin
community development.
‘People are the most impor-
tant element,* he said, and
added that a small group of
l\ard working people is the
backbone for ‘communication,
motivation and teamwork.’
Richard Pierce drew the
first\ applause when he spoke.
Pierc'q is manager of the Texas
Highway Department Travel
Bureaufin Austin. Although he
said ‘tourism’ was his busi-
ness, he\ said small towns
