By the same token, however, since movement is two-directional, other facets of community life have suffered or moved backward. Population change, new land development and changing needs and services have emphasized the need for controlled, orderly development in the Borough. The correction of problems springing from past development, and the recognition and preparation” for anticipated future growth is of vital concern to every resident. The planning and action taken to meet the problems of growth, change, deterioration and obsolescence has a direct bearing on local taxes, on stability of in- vestment, on the ability to find employment or conduct business, and on the amenities of home life. The local officials of Kittanning, in full recognition of the community- wide benefits to be derived from a comprehensive planning program, created a local Planning Commission in June of 1960. The Planning Commission, seeking to develop a guide for the future growth.and development of the Borough, initiated the preparation of a comprehensive master plan. It is apparent, however, to both the local officials and the Planning Commission that the future of Kittanning cannot be planned irrespective of the surrounding municipalities. Any future development in Kittanning will have an impact on the surrounding communities as surely as adjacent developments will affect the Borough. Therefore, it is hoped that the initial action of Kittanning will encourage a combining of efforts to establish a coordinated planning program with adjacent areas. I The Kittanning Master Plan was prepared iznder Sectiofi 701 of the Housing Act of 1954, as amended, This program is corrfially referred to as the "701 Planning Assistanee Program.': Under the provisions of this program, the Federal Governmegt, through the Housing and Home Finance Agency, eon- tributed three-quarters of the cos5 of the preparation of the Master Plan. Kittanning provided the remaining one-quarter. At the local level, this program was administered by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania throllgh the Bureau of Community Development of the Depastmeiit of Commerce In order to expedite the plafining program, the Bormgh erigaged the serviees of Bellante and Clauss, Incorporated, plaming cansnltants, who provided teehnieal assistance, advice and gaidance ir. the development of the Plan. Tfie Master Plan, however, refleets the local goals and objectives esta- blished by the Planning Gomissior_ and loeal officials THEMASTERPLANPROGRAM WHAT IS C3MMUNITY PLANNING Planiiing ean be defined sinply as the exercise of ir?tekligent foresight. It is the process of translating the eommunityPs physical, economic and social goals into sound plazas for development aimed at creating a better physical. environment at minimum cost. WHY PLAN A coimonity has two choices with respect to dealing with growth or change in physical structure; it can meet problems as they arise or it can plan ahead in anticipation of future needs.

My pages represent an endeavor to differentiate between the commonplace and the un- usual, the product being, I hope, an exact and interesting account of school life during the past year. I am a success if I accurately picture the splendid and outstanding group of young men and women who have been responsible for my production. My makers have chosen 'The Door- way" for my pictorial theme. The selec- tion of such a theme should prove interesting to you, my readers. It has been through these doorways that you came as Freshmen, crude and unpolished. Daily, for four years you have passed beneath these same doors in an effort to acquaint yourself thoroughly with your chosen profession. Now the time has arrived at last when you are to pass outward through the doors, somewhat finished products, ready to take your places in the world, both as able teachers and citizens. I, the "Sequelle," make but a single request of you. May I, in the years to come, live in your memory as a symbol of the days in which you lived and laughed and loved at Clarion. D E D I JOHN O. JONES THE Classes of 1935 take pleasure in dedicat- ing their "Sequelle" to John O.
