Right to Read Program Butts County is involved in a statewide-coordinated reading endeavor, the Right to Read effort. The major goal of the Right to Read effort is to increase functional literacy so that by 1980,99 percent of the people in Georgia 16 years old and 90 percent of the people over 16 will possess and use the reading competencies an individual must have to function effectively as an adult. The program involves all segments of society, public and private, professional and non-professional. At Henderson Elementary the Right To Read Task Force Committee consists of Mrs. J. M. L. Comer, principal; Mrs. Gay Albrit ton, Title I Reading; Mrs. Becky Waters, ESAA Read ing; Mrs. Peggy Hutchins, 5 th grade teacher; Miss Edna Murray, sth grade teacher; and two parents, Mrs. Faye O’Dell and Rev. John Freeman. This committee’s job is to gather all available information to assist in the planning, operation and evaluation of the reading program in their school and use the data collected to achieve effectively the goals and objectives of the Right to Read effort. Fifth Grade Activities Fifth level teachers have been very busy promoting good citizenship. They have allowed their pupils to make rules to “live up to” in order to become better citizens. One of the projects was beautification of classrooms and school in general. They made posters on the subject, and these were placed in classrooms and in the halls. Plastic bags, brought to the school by Mrs. Juhlin, were used by the children to pick up litter from the school grounds. Mrs. Celeste Laurence has permitted her pupils to make a T.V. from a cardboard box to use in social studies. Learning about social studies Should Your House Burn Are You Adequately Insured?

The areas researched were geography, history, anthropology, political science, economics and so ciology. In Mrs. Jo Whitaker’s room the pupils have been studying about Indians throughout the United States and Mexico and Peru in South America. Mrs. Whita ker is fortunate in having a pupil from Lima, Peru named Bessy Noriego. The pupils have been making necklaces, bracelets, head bands, belts and numerous other items using macrame designs. They have done a lot of weaving, using construc tion paper or threads to create colorful miniature designs of Indian blankets and mats. Mrs. Whitaker’s culmination of this project was a diorama with a display of Indian stand-ups, totem poles, canoes and real arrowheads; and Indian arrowheads, bowls and other objects made of modeling clay. The pupils learned to spell the words of this study and used them in themes written in their social studies. Mrs. Whitaker be lieves that busy, interested students who are doing worthwhile projects in con nection with their school work are happy, good students. Miss Norma Hearn’s class has been concentrating on the enjoyment of reading. Each student has been given a kite with a long string. Every time a student has completed a book he must review it before the teacher before he can add a tail to his kite string. Some students have as many as 17 tails on one string and are starting on their second string.

BONES DISPLAYED The sixth grade science class of Miss M. Crawford at the Henderson School exhibi ted an excellent collection of bones from the skeletal system of the cow. The exhibit was developed and displayed by Linda Burford, Lee Ann Rooks, Wesley Parker, Cynthia Holcomb, Joe Stewart, Dennis Hart, and Kip Cobb. From the skeletal parts collected, the students were able to reconstruct many parts of the skeletal system of a five-year-old cow, a six month-old calf, and a two-month-old calf. The skeletons they recon structed were a partial spinal column attached to a skull and a complete spinal column. Other parts dis played showed a comparison between the pelvis bone, shoulder blade, vertebrae, rib and lower jaw of a five-year-old cow, six-month old calf, and a two-month-old calf. From the display the students were able to learn much about their own skeletal system and make a contrast and comparison between bones of the cow at various stages in life, plus having lots of fun. Miss Crawford’s class also did a hall display to help encourage the beautification program. Each student did an 8 x 11 poster showing something each of us can do to help beautify our country.

Litter bags were provided the school, three for each classroom. Heretofore, trash cans from the classrooms had been used to put trash in as it was picked up. Then it was placed in large drums. The litter bags eliminated the usual spills around such containers. Each class collected litter (paper, drink cans, bottles, plastic cups, etc.) from the campus and the approaches to the campus. The students were really enthusiastic about the clean up, as they rid the campus of every scrap of trash, no matter how small. It is believed that the students have become more litter conscious and hopeful .y, this consciousness will be long-lasting. Following the clean up, each class made at least one poster illustrating non-litter ing. -HospitolSNotec Patients at Sylvan Grove Hospital during the period November sth through No vember 12th were: Faye Sealey, Charlie Fears, Elzie Minton, Jessie Mae Smith, Betty Faye Singley, Florence Young blood, Dora Maddox, Grady Mask, Ruby N.

There’s more than one way to save money on long distance phone calls. You just have to know the facts. Here are 4 easy ways to make every call a bargain. Money-Saving Fact#l DIRECT DIALING Here’s the most important fact of all. When you dial direct, you'll always save, no matter when you cali. in fact, all of the following special low rates apply only if you dial your own long distance calls without an operator’s assistance. (The only time low direct-dial rates do not apply is on operator-assisted calls such as coin, credit card, person-to-person, collect, hotel-guest calls or calls charged to a third number.) Money-Saving Fact # 3 THE LATE NIGHT RATE This very special rate is in effect from 11 P.M. till 8 A.M. every night of the week and is lower than the evening rate. You can dial direct anywhere in the whole country (except Alaska and Hawaii) for 3 minutes for just 75C or less, plus tax. A special feature of the Late Night Rate is the “Mighty Minute” You can talk for one minute and it will never cost more than 35C plus tax. Share a smile.
