Ira Eaker stated that the National Security is presently in greater jeopardy than it has ever been, largely due to our present evaluation of Russia’s growing strength. March 1977, the Defender quotes from the Scott report-The fact is given, “over all U. S. Military forces overseas are now at their lowest level in 35 years, and still decreasing.” This dwindling American Military presence abroad is one of the symbols of the decline of U.S. power throughout the world, and comes at the time Russians are building a number of advance military operational bases throughout the world.-General Brown, chairman Joint Chiefs of staff, in addressing the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Service, emphasized that our country is in grave danger, facing the most powerful opponent it has ever had—Our future Security depends upon our maintaining Equivalence and Readiness of our Military forces and the WILL of the American people.

The theme for the month’s programming, “Our Respon sibilities”, Our Educational activities was planned and presented by Mrs. Kathleen Pinckney, who being en gaged in the Butts County Public School system, could bring to the membership information most interesting and the facts given pertain ing to the many new facets of education delighted her listeners. The present enrollment of 2,680 students ranging from pre-school and Kindergarten through the 12th grade, breaks down to 51 percent Black and 47 percent White - The fact that Butts County was able to make the smooth transition from segregated to integrated school system can be credited to the many stages of planning made by a former Superintendent, Lee Roy O’Neal, who served the county during the pre planning stages for the change. We can be grateful to Mr. O’Neal for this contribu tion and for his far sightedness in meeting any problems. Through careful checking it would seem that every 5 year old child is enrolled in some educational program within the county - Head start, child development Center, Public or Private Kindergarten. Federal fund ing provides for two areas including the slow learner for remedial needs and the handicapped. In High school, DCT, CVAE, and VOT programs are being success fully implemented and a dream of comprehensive High School Developmental Progress may eventually be realized. Mrs. Pinckney had high Praise for the work being accomplished by the programs now in effect in the field of Art and Music, Band for the high school and choral training in Elementary and Junior High Schools. Poten tially Butts County can become one of the top programs in the state. Members expressed de light for the privilege Mrs. Pinckney gave in learning more of our own educational system and felt renewed pride in our local system. Mrs. Catherine Fletcher added to the program, by a brief coverage of the full meal at lunch time made possible by some help financially from Federal funds -a most important feature for a successful school day.
