An "enlightened self-interest"
caused the Blomington, El., Panto
graph to launch a community edu
cation program in its area, H. Clay
Tate, editor of the paper, said in a
Nebraskan interview.
"We became conscious of a de-J
population trend in rural areas be
cause of the increased mechaniza
tion of the farm," he said.
The self-interest in retaining
population in the area to maintain
circulation caused the paper to see
if anything could be done to keep
the population, he said.
As a result the Central Illinois
Community Betterment Project
was established, Tate said.
"We contacted the agricultural
extenskm division of the Univer
sity of Illinois and asked their co
operation in the project," he said.
In conjunction, the paper and the
University they worked out a pro
gram in which five typical commu
nities were selected within the cir
culation area of the Pantograph.
To be pilot communities, only
those who had shown local inter
est in the project and had invited
the Pantograph to set tip the proj
ect in their communities were se
lected, Tate said.
Communities of approximately
500-2000 population were selected
and local weeklies were used as
co-sponsors, he said.

nity, suggested persons conducted
a survey of community assets and
liabilities and three action commit
tees were established to evaluate
the findings.
Divisions were economic, civic
and cultural because it was felt
that such classifications cut across
community interests, Tate said.
The action committees then sub
mitted a community plan to a com
munity organization such as the
local Chamber of Commerce, rec
ommending adoption and execution
of these projects, he said.
If these recommendations were
accepted, as usually happened, the
execution of the plan was dele
gated to a regularly set up local
organization best equipped to han
dle the project, he said.
One pilot community remodeled
virtually every business front in
town, constructed a new fire sta
tion and city hall and set up a tax
supported recreation program,
Tate said.
Other projects included new
schools, modern street lights, com
munity parking lots, beautification
projects, new industries and added
services, he said.
The community set-up is organ
ized on a tertiary basis with
Bloomington (a city of 50,000) as
the center and cities of 300040,000
population as the secondary areas,
Smaller trade areas with 150-3000
population or crossroads communi
ties were the base of the structure,
Tate said.
