Happy Hour School Aids
Exceptional Children
One of the many affiliated
agencies of the Houston County
United Givers Fund is the Happy
Hour School at 200 Maple Street
in Warner Robins.
This unique school, operated by
the Houston County Association
for Exceptional Children on funds
received from UGF and private
donors, is specifically designed to
help the trainable mentally re
tarded children of Houston Coun
ty develop their abilities to that
they, too, might enjoy a portion
of life which the fortunate peo
ple take for granted.
The school receives more than
87 percent of its operational bud
get from the Houston County
UGF. Funds from the UGF dona
tions also enabled the school to
recently acquire the services of
an additional occupational ther
apist.
Director of the Happy Hour
School is Mrs. S. W. Weather
ford, who explains that in Geor
gia alone there are over 120,000
mentally retarded children.
"It is an unfortunate fact.’”
Mrs. Weatherford reports, "that
of this number, only about 7.200
presently receive any care out
side the home,”
To care for the current enroll
ment of 39 children til are mili
tary dependents, 23 are children
of base civilian employees, and
five are children of parents not
connected with Robins Air Force
Base) is a staff of well-qualified
and dedicated workers who in
clude the director, five very cap
able teachers, an aide, a cook,
and several full-time and part
time volunteer workers.
The children who attend Happy
Hour School cannot qualify for
the educable classes in the pub
lic school because of their low
mental ages and low IQ’s, despite
the fact their chronological ages
range from 6 to 19 years. Many
of these children have multiple
handicaps and have very poor
coordination. Some are unable to
lake care of themselves and sev
eral lake medication daily to en
able them to attend classes at
the school.
Because these children experi
ence unusual difficulty in learn
ing. they need special • raining
and guidance to make the most
of their capacities whatever they
might be. They need intensive
training in the skills that come
easily for a normal child. For
this reason, the teachers stress
the four R’s of “repetition, re
laxation. routine, and respect.”
The purpose of the Happy Hour
School is to develop the abilities 1
of these children as much as pos
sible. The school has no true <
academic program. There are
some pupils who can do simple <
arithmetic and who can read and
write a little, but the curriculum 1
is aimed at social adjustment.
Since home is the place where
most mentally retarded children :
live out their lives, the greater
emphasis on training is in teach
ing the children how to get a
long with other members of their
families and with the other peo
ple in the neighborhood.
The Happy Hour School chil
dren are trained to perform
simple household chores so they
may feel a part of the family
activity. They are taught partic
ularly to respect the property
rights of others. The children are
aiso taught to be as independent
as possible and to participate in
activities which will help them
become better citizens in their
homes and in the community.

perty owners. Leagues have

STARVATION DIET
Poor leaf color on azaleas in
late summer and fall is often due
to a starvation diet, according to
Gerald E. Smith, Extension hor
ticulturist with the University of
Georgia. If your azaleas have
light green leaves instead of dark
green ones, it’s possible they
need an application of fertilizer
now.
