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.

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.
