Trainable Mentally Retarded
Taught With CETA Funds
CETA program funds are
being used to operate the
Mulberry Street School for
trainable mentally retarded
students this summer.
The Piedmont Area Com
munity Action Agency, Inc.,
under the authorization of
Mclntosh Trail Area Em
ployment and Training Coun
cil, has begun its 1977 CETA
Summer Work Experience
Program.
CETA funds are being used
to pay the salaries of the staff
members at the school.
Betty B. Coleman is the
lead teacher at the Mulberry
Street School.
“In addition to myself,
there are two aides paid by
CETA. These two aides are
part-time employees and
they help with various
activities for the students.
Also, three of the eight
students enrolled are paid by
CETA to do maintenance
work in the afternoon,”
explained Ms. Coleman.

REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE j
FOR MANY AMERICANS TODAY, crime is a
business -a full time occupation -and a profitable one at
that. Unfortunately, the old adage that "crime doesn't pay"
is just not true. To the contrary, latest figures indicate that
crime is often a lucrative business for the criminal. It can
produce a sizeable tax-free income. The only "business
expense" is the risk of getting caught.
But that risk, as statistics reveal, is all too slight. In
fact, according to the FBI. a suspect is arrested for only one
out of every five crimes reported. Only one arrest in 20
results in conviction.
To the law-abiding citizen, these facts add fuel to the
ever-increasing fear of crime. Never before has the average
American been so in danger of being the victim of a serious
crime.
The facts speak for themselves to indicate an
overwhelming crime explosion throughout this country.
Between 1960 and 1970, the population rose 13 per cent.
Yet, the crime index rose a shocking 176 per cent. In many
parts of the country, people are afraid to leave the security
of their homes after dark. Senior citizens view crime as their
number one problem.
The simple truth is that directly or indirectly, we are all
victims. As individuals, and as a society, we have paid and
are continuing to pay a heavy debt to the tyranny of crime.
* * *
CRIME HAS CHIPPED AWAY at the American
spirit for so long that many have come to view it as an
inevitable way of life. 1 do not share this viewpoint. We
must not abdicate our cities to criminals or forfeit our
personal freedoms to the lawbreakers. A surrender of the
will by the American people will serve only to fortify crime's
stronghold.
We should strive for the long term goal of eliminating
the causes of crime. Legislation is now under way which
seeks to bring some order to the disjointed and sometimes
inconsistent U.S. eiminal statutes.
* * *
IN THE MEANTIME, there is a desperate need for
effective law enforcement. The only thing that will deter
crime is the speedy detection, prosecution, conviction, and
punishment of criminals. Only when crime becomes
unprofitable will the criminals be put out of business.
An aroused public can become our nation’s most
powerful weapon against crime. It's time for us to take
action. The courts, the legislatures, and above all, the
American people must unite their efforts, and stand up
once and for all against crime.

helped with the Summer

“I graduated from Jackson
High School this year, and I
plan to attend Albany State
College in the fall. Working
at the youth center last
summer helped me choose
elementary education as my
major,” said Fanny.
“I enjoy working with the
children here. It requires a
great deal of patience, but I
haven’t had any problems
yet,” said Fanny.

same transportation as the

This is the first year that a
summer program for this
school has been carried out.
Ms. Coleman found that
funds could be received for
the school when she inquired
about a summer job for
herself with CETA.
Through the efforts of
Andrew W. Fellers, Jr. who
is the CETA Project Director
and Kathleen Pinckney of the
Butts County Board of
Education, along with Ms.
Coleman, the summer pro
gram has become a working
reality.
“All of our regular stu
dents are not participating in
this six week program,” said
Ms. Coleman. “Therefore,
I’m anxious to see a
comparison of the students in
the fall.
“Unfortunately, the stu
dents quickly lose skills
during the summer months. I
hope that this program will
maintain progress made
during the regular school
year.”
