Poverty Program Discussed The anti-poverty program was the subject of a seminar recently held in Columbia. The program, third in a series of meetings on the Columbia area's problems, was sponsored by the Citizens for Progress Commission and the USC Bureau of Business and Economic Research. Principal speakers, F r a n k K. Sloan, regional director of the Of fice of Economic Opportuity, and William K. Marsh, State coordi nator for OEO, appraised the progress of the new anti-proverty program. "The war on p o v e r t y is not money, it is an idea," Sloan told the audience. "We will not solve all the problems with a few dollars. But, rather, all of the community must become involved. "This idea," he continued, "is working. Five hundred counties in the South are involved in different agencies to help the poor - both white and colored." Sloan cited p r o j e c t s being planned and some already operat ing that exemplify the program's success. Those projects, Head Start and T-Square are already breaking into the "hard-core cycle of pov erty." The second speaker, Marsh de scribed the importance of the OEO program. Marsh pointed out, "South Caro lina's largest resource is its people. The OEO program is best-suited i for our state because it can bridge the gap between the poor and the industrial job openings by training the unskilled laborer." fort ENGI Continued exp of our military provides openi ~~for virtually e of the most important decisions st you consider career oppor tey Aircraft.
