The schedule for the week
was rather hectic as most be
ginning school days are.
Project Head Start In Newton
County will reach 225 children
and their parents and Involve
some 50 paid community workers
and 200 or more volunteers.
In eight weeks this summer,
as last summer, Head Start will
try to make some headway ag
ainst the sad fact that too many
children are not emotionally,
psychologically or physically
ready to bridge the gap between
homes that do not provide them
with experiences that attune them
to the public schools. This pro
ject puts children of ages five,
six and seven who have not been
able to attend kindergarten into
a “child development center”
where under close personal at
tention they will be encouraged
by simple successes to avoid the
spiral of failure that often starts
with school’s first day. They
will have free: physical examin
ations, dental care, two meals, a
snack between meals and at least
one educational field trip per
week; such as: children zoo,
Grant Park, etc..
Commendations goes to the
parent and community workers
who supported Head Start in 1965
and to the overwhelming large
number who turned out on reg
istration day, June 13, 1966.
Much thought and hard work were
given for the purpose of making
it possible for us to have Head
Start this year In order that the
children In our community would
get the benefit of the experiences
that It provides.
“The above statement being
true, we ask the parents and vol
unteer workers to continue to
give their support as they have
In the past,’’stated C. J. Tinsley,
Director.

When the hot sun of summer arrives, you want plenty of ice-cold
Coca-Cola around. Because Coke has the taste you never get tired
of. It’s always refreshing. That’s why things go better with Coke
after Coke after Coke. And why it’s always a bright idea to have an
extra carton or two around. Pick up a few next time you’re shopping.
