Applications have been received from many parents who
apparently feel much the same way. Unfortunately we can
take only 40 five-year-olds in our/kindergarten this year.
Letters will be sent this week informing parents of their c
hild’s status. I deeply regret that many children will be left
out, but perhaps the situation (and State Department of Ed
ucation funding) will improve in another year or so. Gener
ally speakine. the children are chosen on a first-come, fi
rst-served basis. Priority is given to children who qualify
under Title IV A guidelines.
The part of our program for testing and treating handi
capped children under six, including infants, still has open
ings. Please contact Mrs. Jane Robinson at the Educational
Center (Phone: 887-6126) for information about help for a
young handicapped child.
I'll be telling you more later about the Early Childhood
Program.
DAY CARE CENTERED FEATURED
Did you see the big spread that the Forsyth County Day
Care Center had recently in the Atlanta Constitution? I li-.
ked the pictures of the children’s faces so much that I put
them up on my office wall immediately. The next day I vis
ited the Center and noticed that Gloria Norris also had them
displayed, and with good reason. She seemed proud of them,
as well as of the whole Day Care Center, which she showed
to Betty Benson and me with much enthusiasm.
I did think, however, that the newspaper write-up was so
mewhat patronizing. I’d be interested in hearing from any of
you who saw the article and had a reaction similar to or dif
ferent from my own.
REACTION TO THIS COLUMN GOOD
So far I’m getting a good response to this column, which
is of course, encouraging. But then it is only one week old
and perhaps negative comments are slow to reach my ear.
I would appreciate suggestions. What would you like to hear
about, concerning young children?
Next week, young children at the Cumming City Park will
be featured.

R.P. Otwell Sr., Chairman of
the Forsyth County U.S. Sav
ings Bonds Committee reports
that the citizens of Forsyth C
ounty placed $7,133 in Savings
Bonds during June and a total
of $61,096 for the six month p
eriod.
Marvin L. Summers, State D
irector for Georgia, announced
that Georgians continued their
strong purchases by placing
$6,499,147 in Savings Bonds du
ring June for a total of $41,736,-
651 for the first six months- a
19 per cent increase over 1971.
June sales reflect an increase
of 26 per cent compared with
those at a year ago. Nationally,
sales of E& H Bonds (at issue
price) amounted to $532 million
during June. During the six mo
nths (January-June 1972) citi
zens have placed $3,247 million
(at issue price) in Savings B

over same period for 1971. Am
ericans now hold in escrow in
Savings Bonds $56.5 billion.
County Chairman Otwell re
minds the citizens that the eas
iest way to buy U.S. Savings
Bonds is to join the Payroll
Savings Plan where you work
or on the Bond A Month Pl
an at your Bank.
Food Bill

Support
Support for a U.S. Congre
ssional bill which would pro
vide eligible Georgia public s
chools with additional kitchen
equipment and funds to offer
breakfast to poor students is
urged by Miss Josephine Ma
rtin, administrator, school fo
od services, Georgia Depart
ment of Education.
She recommends that Georg
ians write their Congressman
to request that they cast favor
able votes for HR 14896, a bill
to amend the National School
Lunch Act.
The bill includes provisions
for free lunches for school ch
ildren from families whose in
come is up to 25 per cent above
the established poverty guideli
nes.
It also provides a reduction
in the price of meals for child
ren of families whose income is
25 to 50 per cent above the po
verty guidelines.

Forsyth Hospital Records Personnel
To Attend Macon Workshop
The Medical Records De
partment might well be consi
dered the “heart” of a hospi
tal for it is here that informa
tion is stored, maintained and
retrieved to enable physicians
to treat their patients. The ho
spital has a complete record
of every patient admitted.
J. Louis Markham, Adminis
trator of Forsyth County Hos
pital, noted that a patient could
be admitted to the hospital sev
eral times over the space of a
number of years and that pat
ient’s record always would be
waiting for review by the ad
mitting physician, bringing him
instantly up-to-date on any he
alth problems peculiar to that
patient.
