please contact me, Beth Sarlls at

Rural America rises again
If rural America is to recover and pro-
sper, local coalitions from the private
and public sectos must work together to
plan individualized longterm solutu ns.
That’s the consensus of a panel of
rural economic experts who recently
spoke to employees and sales represen-
tatives of Pioneer Hi-Bred Interna-
tional, Inc. (Des Moines, IA) at the first
session of the company-sponsored
“Search for Solutions” seminar, focus-
ing on the economic issues facing
America’s small towns.
The speakers emphasized that creative
efforts within communities can be
undertaken to bring new life to those
hard-hit by population movement, the
trends of the world economy and
technological change. .
“The search for solutions to the ques-
tion, ‘What can we do?’ begins with
more questions,’’ said Dr. Janet Ayres,
assistant professor of Agricultural
Economics, Purdue University. “What
do people need? What resources do we
have? How can we get together to meet
our goals? What stands in our way?”
“All across America, small towns,
once in trouble, are now becoming suc-
cessful,” said Dr. Ayres. “They’re
discovering that ‘liabilities’ can be turn-
ed into assets. But accomplishing change
for the better means taking responsible
risks — the kind a town chooses for
itsef, not the kind outsiders choose for
it.
“Tb»*re’s Cando — a chicken-and-
' at town in North Dakota. Because
wheat and eggs add up to pasta, Cando
is now home to a nationwide pasta
manufacturer. And there’s Hibbing,
Minnesota, an Iron Range mining town
that turned from taconite to timber,
built a $5.3 million manufacturing
plant, and now plans to export six
billion chopsticks to Japan!”
“Quick fixes are bandages that don’t
address fundamental problems and have
no staying power,” said Brady Deaton,
associate director, office of Interna-
tional Development, Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and State Universi-
ty. “Our thinking must be in terms of
decades, not in terms of months.”
Dr. Deaton identified five long-jerm
strategies for improving the quality of
life of a local community, to stimulate
growth:
•Cultivate existing industry
•Identify local entrepreneurs
•Develop capital formation plans
(stressing local bankers)
•Make industry visitations
•Evaluate efforts , .
The 230 participants in the Search for
Solutions seminar came to Des Moines^
from more than 130 towns across the
country to garner important economic
information and ideas to take back to
their communities.
Pioneer Hi-Bred is sponsoring the
Search for Solutions as part of its com-
mitment to invest in progams which help
develop self-sufficiency.

“What’d he say?” asked

the hard of hearing woman.
“He wanted to know how
fast we were going,” the man
said.
“Is this your present ad-
dress?” the officer asked,
looking at the man’s license.
“What’d he say?” asked
the woman.
“He wanted to know if we
still lived in Cuero,” the man
said.
“You know,” said the of-
ficer, “when 1 visited Cuero
once I met this woman in a
bar and took her to a motel.
When I woke up the next
morning, 1 saw her good and
she was so ugly that she ac-
tually made me sick.”
“What’d he say?” asked
the woman.
“The officer says he
knows you,” the man
replied.
The little girl proudly an-
nounced at supper that her
boyfriend had kissed her at
kindergarten that day.
"He did?” her mother and
father both asked.
“Yes, he did,”- she said,
“and it took three of the
other girls to catch him for
me.”
Just remember this, if you
don’t want anyone to know,
don’t do it.
Politicians are really a
tough breed ot humanity.
One week they are on the
cover of Time and the next
week they arc doing it.
It’s never safe to be
nostalgic about something
Until you’re certain it can’t
come back.

Here, in its entirety, is the
text of a post card received
by the parents of a nine-year-
old camper:
“Dear Mom and Dad, I
k new all along that
something awful was going
to happen and last night it
did. Love, Jimmy.”
Courtship is like looking at
the pictures in a seed catalog.
Marriage is what actually
comes up in your garden.
Committee: A group of
people put together to share
the blame.
It you can count the hugs
you got this week then you
didn’t get very many ’cause
you shouldn’t be able to
remember all of them.

AUSTIN — Gov. Bill
Clements wrote the final
chapter on the summer’s
special session last week by
signing the tax bill and some
fourscore other pieces of
legislation.
Using his line item veto
4 power, Clements trimmed
another $1.67 million in state
spending, considered a large
amount in vetoed funds.
The governor attacked ad-
ministration funds for educa-
tion and welfare programs,
as well as the airplane opera-
tions for several of the major
state agencies.
All told, the new budget is
still almost 2 percent more
than its predecessor and re-
mains the largest in state
history.
Clements also signed bills
to: install budget execution
authority for the governor,
call a November referendum
on whether the State Board
of Education should be
elected, target sports agents ■
for illegal contracting of col-
lege students, and name a
West Texas site as the prefer-
red location for a low-level
nuclear waste dump.
Other newly signed laws
will control the use of
videotaped testimony in child
abuse cases, require a rape
victim to be tested for AIDS,
require fewer teacher evalua-
tions, and make the Texas
