32. lappuse - The remoteness and isolation of the region, lying directly adjacent to the greatest concentrations of people and wealth in the country, is the very basis of the Appalachian lag. Its penetration by an adequate transportation network is the first requisite of its full participation in industrial America (President's Appalachian Regional Commission, 1964, p.
20. lappuse - The relatively low proportion of native capital did not produce such a reinvestment in large sections of the region. Much of the wealth produced by coal and timber was seldom seen locally. It went downstream with the great hardwood logs; it rode out on rails with the coal cars ; it was mailed between distant...
37. lappuse - Senate at the time of its introduction, would make five principal changes in existing law relating to the public facility loan program of the Community Facilities Administration of the Housing and Home Finance Agency.
32. lappuse - Tho first sentence of that report is indicative of the story I want to relate to you folks today, and I quote: Developmental activity in Appalachia cannot proceed until the regional isolation has been overcome. Later in that same report, it says...
4. lappuse - Traditional concepts of the term "rural" must be discarded if this lagging trend toward urbanization is to be understood. For in much of Appalachia, "rural" comes with a difference; the rural scene is in fact unique. Rural in Appalachia does not mean a checkerboard of rich farms; instead, dense but narrow ribbons of bleak habitation wind along the valley roads and up the tributary hollows, threading among the wooded hills.
xviii. lappuse - At the outset of its work, the Commission was confronted by a major problem of strategy: whether to concentrate its efforts on the hard core of Appalachian distress — the largely rural interior country of marginal farms, coal, and timber — or devote its attention to the entire region.
8. lappuse - Economic growth depends to a large degree on educational excellence. While assistance can be provided in Appalachia from outside the region, the primary drive for recovery must originate inside its own boundaries. Yet the educational resources to mount that drive are inadequate. The region has not produced a sufficient corps of educated persons in the past; it lacks the tax base to provide an adequate education effort in the future.
58. lappuse - Review and study, in cooperation with the agency involved, Federal, State, and local public and private programs and where appropriate, recommend modifications or additions which will increase their effectiveness in the region; 4.
45. lappuse - These coal -based power possibilities could be enhanced still further by the development of water installations designed to produce peaking power, operating in conjunction with low-cost base-load thermal plants. Such developments would not reduce requirements for coal, but would increase them. Among the early concerns of the proposed regional organization should be initiation of studies looking toward these possibilities. These studies should be conducted with the assistance and counsel of an advisory...
xv. lappuse - Appalachia is a region apart — geographically and statistically. It is a mountain land boldly upthrust between the prosperous eastern seaboard and the industrial Middle West — a highland region which sweeps diagonally across 10 States from northern Pennsylvania to northern Alabama.
