South attractive for poor: census report

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Government is calling it a steady growth of job opportunities that reflects the extent in which the exodus of the South’s poor is reversing, and low-income persons have started to remain in southern regions the past two years. This reverses a trend that had existed since the turn of the century. The report said, until 1975, many low-income people in the South left to seek employment in other areas of the nation- particularly the Northwest. However, the latest figures available from the recent Cen sus Bureau report on the migration of the nation’s poor, showed between March of 1975 and March of 1976, roughly 178,000 poor persons moved to the South and about 100,000 poor persons left. In contrast, the census bureau study on migration revealed each year between 1967 and 1971, nearly 187,000 poor persons moved to the South and 231,000 low-income individuals left. Not until the 1970s had the

South showed an increase in the number of blacks and others below the poverty line. While the population of the South started growing in the 1960s, the growth consisted mainly of whites who were not poor, the report said. “The steel mills haven't moved to the South, but many other businesses have,” said Larry Long, chief of the Census Bureau's analysis staff. “This reflects the general expansion of employment opportunities in the South Long added. Also responsible for drafting the report, Long said, not only are more people moving to the South, but the poor who are traditionally left to find jobs in the North are now staying in the South. Long predicted if the average annual rate of change in the number of poor and non-poor populations in the South and other regions continues at the same rate as in the 70s, the “poverty gap” that has existed between the South and the rest of the nation could be eliminated by 1988. In 1977, a non-farm family of

four with an income of 55,815 or below, was considered poor by government standards. “What’s happened, is that the South is cashing in on the

light manufacturing from other regions as well as the general shift of the economy toward the service industry, and completely away from heavy manufacturing,” Long theorized.

financial institutions. Cozad noted that Standard was one of the first major American companies to establish a formal minority deposit program. Instituted in 1965, the program last year resulted in $113 million in deposits by Standard in 35 minority institutions, and an average daily balance in excess of $2 million. The relationship is mutually beneficial, explained Cozad, in that minority institutions have been in a position in several instances to provide needed services to the company, making loans and functioning as investment vehicles for company funds. “And motivated by the knowledge that the economic disparity that exists between the minority and majority populations is not only bad for minorities, but for the American economy and Standard Oil, as well,” Cozad said, “our company continues to take actions that will aid in strengthening these economic pillars of many neighborhoods.” HARRY TRACY Hairy Tracy, 85. 1006 W. 27th, a landscaper, died December 7 in Wishard Hospital.
