Amazing New Self-Help Plan Enables
Communities»to Pull Themselves Out
Of Doldrums; There’s a Book About It
i 7
By LOUIS R. HUBER
WINLOCK, Wash. — Is your
community slipping? Is it down
at-the-heels . . . slowly going
bro'ke . . . starving for lack of
business activity?
If so, don’t be gloomy. There
really IS something you can do
about it. If you’re doubtful, just
come to this little town of 878
people — a whistle stop on the
railroad 100 miles southwest of
Seattle — and see what has hap
pened.
Winlock was dying on the vine
when it heard of a plan of com
munity rejuvenation the Univer
sity of Washington was offering.
It asked the university to come
on down.
The result has been magical.
Winlock is now bustling with re
newed activity. It has a new look,
new feeling. Even the churches
notice the change. And business
is wonderful.
Tried First In Montana
The self-help plan for commun
ities was originated by Prof. Bak
er Brownell of Northwestern Uni
versity. It was tried out first in
Montana communities. Then Rich
ard W. Poston, who had a- part
in the Montana work, carried the
work on for the University of
Washington.
Winlock was the perfected
plan’s first real test. It was the
“guinea pig” for the final run.
Poston has written a book
about the system; in fact, two
books. “Democracy Is You” con
tains the “blueprint” used here,
with all the necessary guide
marks for any other community
that wants to help itself.
Another book by Poston, “Small
Town Renaissance,” tells of the
spade work done in Montana.
Both books are published by Har
per & Brothers.
With Winlock so successful,
other Washington towns took up
the program: White Salmon, Bin
gen, Trout Lake, Glenwood, Tol
edo, Hazeldell, Belfair and Battle
ground. And now Port Angeles,
a city of 11,000 with half again
that number in surrounding areas,
is hard at work improving itself
the same way.
Process Takes Five Months
The process takes about five
months. During this period most
of the local citizens are engaged
one way or another in the self
examination. They are studying
local conditions—a study that is
the key to the plan’s success.
It is during this period of self
study that an amazing spirit of
unity and citizen-alertness devel
ops. This is the power that is
needed to assure that the subse
quently - adopted action program
will be carried through.
Working on fact-gathering com
mittees, the people learn to under
stand themselves and one another.
They discover their own needs,
possibilities and limitations. They
f
gain self-confidence in their abil
ity to act as a group.
In short, an atmosphere devel
ops in which community action
takes place naturally, and does
not collapse for want of sufficient
community backing .
Poston’s “Democracy Is You”
outlines programs for weekly
meetings. It lists hundreds of
questions for use in guiding dis
cussions. The program is flexible.
Any community can.adapt it to
its ofwn needs.
In Winlock’s case the study led
first of all to a decision to paint
all the town’s stores and public
buildings, and to clean up the
long-neglected local cemetery.
Then the townspeople, realizing
their eggs were all literally in
one basket — poultry raising —
looked about for other industries.
They found a national concern
that was looking for a site on
which to build a cedar-processing
plant.
Beats Out Bigger Cities
Seattle, Tacoma, Bellingham,
Chehalis and other big cities were
bidding. But Winlock got the
plant—by offering seven acres of
land and promising to extend its
water system to provide fire pro
tection.
They had to dig down in their
own pockets and subscribe $27,000
too. Already $18,000 has been
laid on the barrelhead—cash, too-,
and not tax money, either.
But since Winlock will get a
nice year-around payroll out of
it, everybody is going to gain.
Other projects are under way.
A chicken-freezing plant is going
up. A $56,000 vocational-educa
tion building has been enthusias
tically financed by the voters.
Previously they had voted it
| down.
Winlock used to have one train
a day, and there were rumors it
would be cut off. But now two
trains stop here daily.
Port Angeles Is Next
At Port Angeles, where the plan
is still in the study stage, 600
citizens are busy digging out facts.
Every Tuesday evening most of
them meet in the high-school au
ditorium.
A report is read from one of
the fact - gathering committees.
The whole group then breaks up
into “buzz” sessions of about 15
people each, to discuss the re
port.
Forty-five minutes later they
reassemble and a leader from
each buzz session reports its opin
ions and recommendations for the
particular committee whose re
port is under consideration.
In this way the whole com
munity, as far as is humanly pos
sible, is actually taking part in
formulating its own affairs.
“We wouldn’t have believed it
could happen,” remarked one
Port Angeles citizen. “But it is,
and we know we’re going to- be
a lot better off because of it.”
PRESIDENT TO TELECAST
TODAY FROM WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON, UP) — President
Eisenhower will report on his ad
ministration in a program tele
cast nationally from 8:30 p.m. to
9:00 p.m. EST, Wednesday, June 3
Press secretary James C. Hag
erty used the word “program” in
announcing the telecast Wesdnes
day and hinted that others besides
the President will take part. It
will be Eisenhower’s first live
telecast from the White House.
Operators Refuse
Union’s Lower Bid
For Cold Storagers
JUNEAU, UP — A cold storage
workers’ strike continued Thurs
day through a second full week,
while many Juneau area fisher
men have tied up their boats with
fish in their holds.
The Cold Storage Workers’
Union (Ind) originally asked an
increase of 40 cents an hours over
last year’s $2.35 scale, plus wel
fare and vacation benefits. This
week the union offered to end the
strike for a 25-cent hourly in
crease over 1952.
Operators took no action Wed
nesday on the union move.
Some fishing boats are reported
to have gone to other ports to un
load, but facilities are limited.
Fishermen have been geeting ice
from Juneau area glaciers to meet
their fish-keeping emergency.
A special chamber of commerce
committee submitted a report on
Wednesday in which both sides
in the deadlock presented their
cases.*" The committee, without
taking sides, emphasized that the
strike is proving costly by owners,
workers and Juneau merchants.
L. A. STAKES ALASKA CLAIM
SEATTLE, UP)—A Military Sea
Transportation Service employe
reports there is a sign at Whittier,
Alaska, which reads (in best Los
Angeles tradition):
“Seattle City Limits
City Center—1,547 Miles.”
