Thornbury said the orientation of OEO work was once largely directed toward community activities, but now more work is being done with individual families. "We try to reach children before they develop some of the negative attitudes of their parents." he said. "We try to show the importance of the family to the child, and encourage parents to recognize their children's achievments." The OEO does its work with a full-time staff of 21 and about 70 volunteers. The organization's offices are up a flight of stairs in an old Ixigan building, and are connected by a dark hallway, lighted at one end by a naked light bulb hanging from the ceiling. Eleven of the staff are field workers, who work with no more than 20 families with young children in their own community. Five of the staff are involved in an emergency food program. Another staff member works with an on-the- job training program, and the remaining staff members are in clerical or supervisory positions. Thornbury believes the OEO and welfare programs need more money. "The welfare program is a condemnation of a system which gives people 65 per cent of the money needed for a decent living. ' he said. He said if more money was available for welfare, it should be directed toward the aged, ill and disabled. "These people more than anyone should have as many of their needs met as possible," Thornbury said. The OF.O director sees the ultimate solution to the problem of poverty linked with new and diversified in- dustry Thornbury said the physical environment, with its shortage of roads or waterways, deters industry. Also discouraging industry is what he terms Logan's "bad labor reputation," stemming from strike problems in the past.

If he had power to solve the poverty problem, Thornbury says he would: -search for small industry. -seek legislation attractive to industry from a tax standpoint. -train Logan's labor force for exactly the type of work these new industries would provide. -combat the public image of the moonshine-drinking hillbilly, which he believes keeps industry away. -engage in an intensive road-building project. Thornbury believes the introduction of new industry is essential, because for the poor to be motivated to act, there must be decent-paying jobs available for them. To study the problem of introducing new industry to Logan, a specialist in economic development will soon join the staff of the OEO for several months, said Thornbury. "I think the population of Logan County will continue to decrease from the present 60,000 to about 40,000. But those who remain should have decent standards of living," Thornbury said.
