United War On Poverty Set For N.B. Rural Areas

By RONALD LEBEL FREDERICTON /‘CP)—A, con- terted war on rural poverty. will | xe waged in two areas of New 3ranswick under a $114,000,000 federal provincial agreement signed Tuesday.

Ambitious new tactics will be tried out during the next 10 vears to lift’ the education and income levels of 116,000 persons, many of* whom live in isolated shacks and earn less than $500 a vear.

Various federal agencies will invest up to $81,000,000 in three northeastern counties and in the St John River Valley between Fredericton and Woodstock -un-

Liberal Premier Louis Robl- chaud hailed the agreement—as “a total attack” on poverty and as “a great experiment in Ca- Madian democracy.”’

Mr. Sauve said discussions are under way with the nine other jprovinces to launch similar ‘ye- gional development programs jin heavily-depressed areas. ‘

The New. Brunswick pilot |projects have many novel fea- itures:
