HATHAWAY

REPORTS From Congressman William D. Hatha.way

Until quite !''JC.ently, most children with educational handicaps wE,re kept isolated from the nation's classrooms.

f-!om r;-werekeptathome. Other::~could receive remedial trcat­nH.mt. c,nly in in;:;titutions .

More recently we have seen a welcome development of special schools, and SfJf)Cial classe:::> wi thir:. our dementa.ry and s~::con­dary :::>chools. This dev{:lo(Jment has made it possible Cor chi 1-d!·en with specia l prt>blt:mt• to n:ceive r~Cmedial assistance and pursue a.n academic p1·ogl'am in a normal c lassroom setting. This has boen of great benefit to the ehi1dr~,;n involved, aiding them to make better odueationa 1 3 nd s ocial and subseqwmtly better vocational adjustments. Increa::;;ing numbers of handi­capped children, and adults too, are bei ng prepared to play a :1seful role 111 society. Despite~ the encountgiug progress which has been made, it is

fair to say that children with learling disabilities are barely beginning to be recognized by their teachers.

Some handicaps such as \'isualand hearing limitation.s, mental retardatimland emotionnl di::. t~rbanccs al'e easy to diagnose and our schoolsaregencrallyul>i ng <l good job of coping with them.

Other disorders arc mu~l1 more difficult to identify. Among these areperceptualhanclkap-;, brain injury, minor brain mal­functions and disorders ln basic psychological processes in­volved in understl.ndi ng or usln.g language, written or spoken. Such disorders manifest th~:msdves in imperfectabili ty to listen, think, speak, read, writ~:', :,pdlordomath;~maticalcalculations.

In order to provide m :'·: hL·lp for this very special category of educationally hand:' :1 1::•1 ·.! .~hildnm, I plan to sponsor a hill w be known as the "Cb: •. : ~ - (~,1 With Learning Disabilitie.; Act of 1969".

This bill \vould help improve the educational opportunities of more than one million American children. It would amend the Elementary and Seeonchry Education Act of 1965 to authorize the U.S. Commissioner or Education to make grants to institu­tjnns of higher education, StatE> and local education agencies, amt other public and private noe-profit educational and 1·esearch agencies and to contrac tfor t.bo tle\'E' lopment and ad ministration of special programs for children with :;pccial learning dis­abilities.

Three types of programs would be authorized. (1) Research and related activities, surveys and demonstra ­

tion projects could be contracted for and supported by grants. (2) Funds could be used to provide professional or advanced

training to teachers of children 'hith learning d1sabilities n.nd to other educators in Administrative and supervisory positions .

(3) The Commissioner could utilize grants to assis t in the establishment and operation of model centers designed to im­prove the education of children with learning disabilities.

The bill would require the Commissioner to give special em­phasis to projects designed tu promote the adopti.on of new or improved educational ideas, practices and techniques in den ling with , and creative approaches in meeting, the special educa­tional needs of children with !,;pcciallearning disabilities .

In my view, enactment of the "Children With Learning Dis­abili.ti es Act of 196!)" would fill a c ·i.tical need, and I shall do everything possible to suppo1·t its passage.

Editor Town. Crier

Dear Joanne ,

Tuyen Nhon, RUN Feb. 25, 1969

I have been receiving the "Town Crier" for the pastni.ne monthi ~hat 1 have been in Vietnam. Have really enjoyed getting it, but, the past few issues have been disturbed and disgusted on the article!'> of what seems to be a pretty popular thing for the press back in the States. "Do we belong in Vietnam. "

It is a very easy task for a Newspaper Editor and writer to Pxpress hi::> opinions to the readers . But how much background do they have. Most of the trash you read and see in the papers i:; just that--trash. Most of these so-called writers, corn~s­ponde nts and wha t have you, sit in nice secure places, look over an alter action report, and then fill in what he believes actually happened. I have received a number of newspapers, and have been involved ina number of the incidents, but, the reports that I have read in the papers arc completely way off from actually what IUtptJcn~::d. .

Everyone in Uw States is quick to criticize the actions of our Presic!Hnt and other elected officials . But, newspapers don' t a.tt:lcl' each o ther and that is where our biggest trouble seems to be . Big headlines attract the eye , but, small print doe s n' t always. 1 do believe that if people began to support their con­vir.:tion::; at the polls, and checking into the background of the Officials running for office and what he stands for , we'd all be better off. Not that we are just Democrats--Republicans-­Whi tcs --Negroes- -Indians - -Mexicans, etc . But, that we are AM.I::RICANS first, and that it was to the belief of us, that the ones ckcwd would set up the best policies to follow. And as an Amcncan, it would be the best policy to follow our selected leader:; . The people can get facts on what is going on over here by writing their Congressmen, Senators and Government Pub­lications, if they are interested in why and what is going on over here. If they would confide in these more than the GP-ncr!V opinion of the Newspapers, we would not have the corruption in the Country that we have.

When you come right down to it, Ws all so very simple. Why are we over here? We are here because a country asked us to help them fight off the aggression of another Communist Coun­try. Wh8t is the general opinion in the States? The country is conupt a11d doesn't know what it wants! .Have we become so selfish :lnd bigoted that we cannot help another nation who is in jeopardy of being overrun by communism, we the uncorrupt one>>. who in the past years have only assassinated a President, a Senator, a N<~gl'O Religious leader , crime running the streets, colleges D r~n 1 t even safe to go to anymore, and threatened just

about every elected official in office. It isn't actually safe for the President to travel in our own Country.

I know we have lost some fine Milo boys over here. I hate to read that these boys have really died for nothing. You men­tioned that these boys had no future. This is t rue! But they did give up their future that others may have one. And for those of us t.~lt do make it back may have one, It all boils down to we are fighting Communism over here, so that a nation can have the r ights they choose as we have. I don't regret my purpose over here and I am sure all the boys that have been here don't.4

I think you people back home better start worrying about the future back there more than about us boys in Vietnam. We'll. do the best we can to take care of ourselves over here as the..._ majority of us volunteered to come over here, But, it's up to you people to get behind somebody back there, as our view point from here is, it just might be safer over here. So 1et's all get back to be Americans, supporting our Government and its Policies. Disagree verbally, Yes, Hostiley, N'o!

is joining a nationwide effort to "Provide Habitat- Places Where Wildlife Live. " This theme for the 1969 National Wildlife Week observance, March 16-22, will draw attention to the growing urgency to protect natural areas that can support wildlife .

State Wildlife week ~hairman, Marshall F. Burk of the Natural Resources Council of Maine, has stressed that anyone can start a habitat improvement project. Establishing food and cover plantings for local wild species, c leaning up litter and junk in natural areas, and making a determined effort to halt stream pollution are all needed .

The Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District supervisors are helping with the establishment of wildlife food andcoverareasbyagainmaki ngwildlife shrubs such as Autumn Olive , Tartarian Honeysuckle and Silky Cornell Dogwood a vail­able to land users. The shrubs are grown by the Maine State Fores t Nursery and are sold at a cost of a few pennies apiece plus a small handling charge for wildlife plantings.

·Children View THE Storm The following stories were written by fourth grade pupils at

the Brownville Junction Primary School.

\\'HAT THIS STORM DID - by Deborah Strout On February twenty-fourth in the afternoon i t started snow­

ing . It snowed all night that rught and continued snowing until February twenty-seventh. It snowed for about an hour on the twenty-eighth.

There was school only on Monday of last week. I heard that the school bus was buried. The school grounds weren't plowed out until Sunday night.

A friend of ours was talking to her husband who was in the Milo Hospital. She said that one nurse came to the hospital on a tractor , two on snow mobiles, and two or three on snowshoes. After they got the r e they had to go after the cook.

The snow drifts at home cove red the whole front side of our house.

One house was comple te ly buried. In one case a person could have gone o ut an upstairs window.

The Prai rie road was just like a tunnel. It is plowed out a little better now.

THE STORM - by Lynn Mac Donald One morning I got up out of bed and walked to the window.

couldn't believe my eyes . The snow was as high as my window. I rushed to my parents bedroom and told them how high the snow was . My mother turned on the radio and listened to the no school announcements . It said that there was no ~chool inBrown­ville Junction. I got dressed and went down stairs. I couldn' t see out the window. All day lo ng i t snowed hard. All the next day it was snowing just as hard. That day there was no school. Before we knew it there was no sc hool all week.

THE BIG BAD STORM - by Gary Dur ant That was the bigges tstorm I haveeverseen in my whole life.

There were skidoos going a nd coming, s now flying here and th<~re , people s ho ve ling, and cars sliding and slipping.

BROWNVILLE'S STORM -by Lar ry Priestma n Brownville had a bad s to rm. The storm was so bad that we had

to cancel school. It snowed for four clays. The snow drifted 10 to 14 feet on the side of houses . We had no road for some time .

In our driveway the snow was over my hea d. Dad start<~cl out to work . He stepped of the back steps a nd went up to his neck in snow. We had about 3 to 3-1/2 feet of just snow.

THE BAD STORM - by James Larrabee A few days ago the worst storm since 1888 hit Brownville Jet.

The snowcamedown for days . At least it seemed that way. The snow was deep but those drifts were really bad' Some people couldn't find their cars, and some couldn 't sec out of thei 1·

house windows because the snow went right up over them. We couldn't even go to school for a week it was so bad. And

there are still a few people who can't get out. Boy I am telling you if we have another storm this year likB

tha t one, summer is nevr::r going to come! Bu t we survived.

i>.. STOHM -by Va lerie Willett Mo nday night a s torm came. Tuesday there wasn't any school

because the s torm was too bad . So I went oul doors and played. Mom told us no~ to g<> too far because if we rlid we would be ou l

by Joanie Cross Wednesday night, March 12,

a group of students went by bus to the wes<;gate Cinema to see " Romeo and Juliet" . It was well worth the trip.

Wednesday night also there were tryouts for the musical. B e looking for that on May 16.

Friday, March 14, the T ea ­chers ' Club of S. i\ .D. 68 held a variety show at the gym. It was s tarted with a basketball game between the teachers and seniors . Unfortunately, the teachers won. Then there was a Peewee basketball game . There was a 10 minute inter­mis sion during which you could purchase trys to hit your most "un-favorite" principal with a wet sponge. Mr. DeWitt, Mr . Hewes, and Mr. Thomas were t.'IJ.e guinea pigs for that little experiment! Dr. Monr oe of J\.lilo performed some feats of magic for us then. The FA Dance Band played a couple of selections. Then came the peak (or peek!) of the evening--the beauty contest! we saw such beauties as Miss Take (alias Bob Beek), Miss Toot (Bob Tho rne) , Miss Carriage (Ray P oulin), 1Vliss Calculate (Way­ne Champion), Miss Guidance (Bill Glover), and others , who under their clever disguises ,

were Did: Harvey , Tom Gall­ant, and Neil Johnson. Miss s. A. D. 68 of '69 was crowned by Fred Messler. She was Miss Calculate , or rather, her ev ­ery day counterpart, Wayne Champi on. Rutmer-upwus Neil Johnson. The dance band play­ed during the next intermis­sion. A gym show, s upervised by Holly Dunn and Charley MacDonald, concluded the pro­gram. Matt Williams was Mas­ter of Ceremonies . The pro ­ceeds will go towards scholar­ships give n ea ch year by the

Teachers' Club. Saturday Dexter was the site

of wrestling tournaments. Our boys did a wonderful job but failed to bring home any state championships. Unfortunate ly, Dexter took home most of those. Lisbon Falls a lso took home a couple of titles .

Don't forge t that the Ameri ­can Field Service's annual In­ternational Supper, which was scheduled for March 1, will take place Mar ch 22, this Sat­urday , a t the FA gym at 6:00 p. m .

who will be attending the Wit­nesses three day convention March28-30 at Milo Town Hall.

Eighty- three year old Mrs. Elizabeth Wade, Elmwood Park, Milo has walked on crutches since she was six. Neither age nor disability, she says, will keep her away from the assembly of Jehovah's witnesses in the Town Hall, March. 28-30.

Her disability has hindered her very little. Mother less at an early age, at 14 she became housekeeper for her father and five brothers and sisters. Later she married and brought up three daughters.

She became interested in the Witnesses in Bradford where she lived until 1963.

"No one called at my home with the message," she said. "A ­mong some old magazines my daughter's employer sent me were some Watchtowers. That was in 1933 and I have read them ever since then. "

She attended meetings in Bangor until a group was organized in Bradford. She said she soon felt the need to share her new knowledge with others, so added the ministry to her schedule.

"We had no car, so my husband and I drove the horses as we called from house-to-house."

Since her husband's death in 1962, she lives with her daugh­ter, Mrs. Ruby Chase, also a Witness. She is happy- to live next door to Kingdom Hall where she attends meetings regularly.

Now, she explained, she does less walking but still shares in the minis try by writing Bible sermons to friends and strangers.

In view of the unrest throughout the world, she is eagerly look­ing forward to the public discourse to be given at the Town Hall, March 30 at 3 p.m. District Minister Harry Fetzik will discuss "Law and Order~ -When and How?"

THIS WEEK'S REVIEW by Matt Troy

THE GUNS OF WILL SONNET A few weeks ago in TV GUIDE there was an article by Jerry

Buck entitled "Dialogue I'd love to hear". Under the GUNS OF WILL SONNETT, Jerry had this to write; Sonnett: "You wanna know something? I don't. remember what I'm searching for." Jeff: "You wanna know something else? I don't think anybody cares . "

How right that is. So many people don't care that in Septem­ber THE GUNS OF WILL SONNETT will be droped; ABC, I hope, has leanrect a lesson (and that goes for the other net­works) that people are tired of the "searching" television pro­grams . In the 60's there have been many of these stereo-t-ype searching programs where each week the hero searches for a loved -one or an enemy thn.t has done a terr:ble thing to our hero that must be avenged. And all of these programs have been can­celed except for THE FUGITIVE w~ich enjoyed good ratings until David Jansen became sick. I think the· reason THE FUGJ­TIVE had high ratings was because the searcher was also the searched and this made for interesting viewing.

Five years ago television on Friday nights was like this: (Channel5) At7 :30 RAWHIDE withClintEastwood and Eric Flem­ing was in i ts last season; at 8:30p.m. Carol Burnett and Bob Newhart were entertaining us on THE ENTERTAINERS; at 9: 30 GOMER PYLE U.S.M.C. was in its first year; at 10:00 was the short-lived THE REPORTER starring Ga:ry Merrill. On Channel 2 at 7:30p.m. was INTERNATIONAL SHOWTIME with Don Ameche as host; 8:30 was the BOB HOPE CHRYSLER THEATER; 9:30-JACK BENNY program which had spent 14 years on CBS moved to NBC; and 10:00 was the one and only Jack Parr on THE JACK PARR SHOW, the only show that was in color on Friday nights, only five years ago.

And in the end Will and Jeff won't even find Jim anyway, and the show will end with a re-run the viewer has probably seen before . Well, that's television?!

SANGERVILLE Mrs. RAchel Carr was in

The confusion of changes in the new schedule at P . V. H. S. has somewhat slowed down the flurry of activities usually go­ing on at the High School.

The schedule is adjusted so that each class will get a cer­tain amount of time each week. For instance, on Monday one period is omitted and the class· es are 38 minutes long. On Tu­esday. , Wed._ and Friday two different c lasses are left out each day and the classes are 46 minutes long. On Thursday all the classes are held and are each 33 minutes long.

This schedule is new and cer­tainly confusing , but the stud­ents are cooperating without complaints.

The time off in the afternoon for the high school students is replaced by more outside ass­ignments. This, too , the stu­dents have accepted as nece­ssary for a correct education in spite of the circumstances.

The lockers have been assi­gned so that there are two st­udents at most of the lockers, in order to make room for the middle sc)lool students.

All ~n all, activities at the high school are practicallylim­ited to schoolwork , and work­ing out areas which have been troublesome through the week.

In two weeks, achievement tests will be given at the high school for all students , and the college boards are being held for the college minded student.

MILO Betty Noyes (Mrs . Richard

Noyes , former Milo resident) is substituting in the Woodland Jr. High School in a recently vacated teaching position. Her very busy house-to-house hair dressing business prevents her from accepting this posi­tion. Besides this Mrs. Noyes ' musical talents are being used in the organist position i n the Woodland and the Calais Epis ­copal Churches. She also has started a youth choir in the Woodland Church.
