Dr Donald Millar a 34 year old medical doctor from New port News Va heads the pro gram which has been under way for little more than a year Why Is the United States spending $7 million a year to try to wipe out smallpox in Africa? Millar says there is a selfish reason In one respect In that the United States has not had a single case of smallpox since 1949 and it want any The African nations involved in the Inoculation program are among three areas of the world considered principal sources of the disease The others are In dia and portions of the ar East The smallnox program has been conducted on a regional basis among the 19 countries with the help of the United States Countries participating are Cameroon Central African Re public Chad Congo (Brazza ville) Dahomey Gabon Gam Dahomey there are tribes that worship smallpox They have a smallpox goddess known by sev eral names such as Sorponna or Shopona Millar who travels to Africa periodically said this has re sulted in three major problems People in this region natur ally resist vaccination Is a tendency to hide outbreaks of smallpox making it difficult to determine where to send the medical teams It results in propaga tion of the disease through rit uals are looking Into the an thropology of these people to see if we can find some way to ap proach Millar said this Is the only cultural barrier we have found People quite openly accept any kind of help program that is delivered to them by the government speaking when you have a tribal system and an unsophisticated people most of the time you just have to make the service The program has been made A COMMUNITY NEEDS A NEWSPAPER Parents Ask Community Program Helps Disadvantaged Children New Haven has something rather special of which justly proud If any of you would like to have the same thing in your own cities or if any New Haveners would like to join or assist our own effort let me know and give you any details you need Back In the spring of 1965 Dr George Witt a clinical psychol ogist decided to invest his time and savings In 16 young Negro children HIS EELING was that the many differences commonly ob served between advantaged and disadvantaged children can to a very large extent be overcome even as late as preadolescence by introducing a variety of the most favorable elements of en lightened child rearing and growth supporting practices He also felt very strongly that the short term and partial kinds of help provided by perhaps the majority of habilitation or re habilitation programs tend to be too specific and impersonal to be generally helpful in the long run HIS APPROACH was rather different from ony program for the underprivileged of which I know To begin with on the basis of some rather special tests (The Minnesota Tests of Creativity) he selected 16 crea tively talented boys and girls from 2nd 3rd and 4th grade classes of one of our Inner city schools All 16 families involved agreed to send their children to a sum mer activities program Skilled volunteers from the community supervised and encouraged ac tivities in music art sports dancing drama writing Dr Witt was always on hand to help individuals and groups of chil dren resolve the Innumerable conflicts experienced by tearful pessimistic unskilled children as they one by one began to realize their higher potential THEN CAME ALL that crucial time when so many sum mer programs fall apart Not this one Every afternoon from 3:30 to 6:00 pm In a church which volunteered its space the Children continued their activi ties with Individual library projects creative mathematics and chess added The program continued get ting better and better and arous ing more and more community enthusiasm and volunteer par ticipation in the summer of '66 and the winters of '66 and 67 Ana in tnis secona winter a very vital element was added to this lively exciting and certainly 100 per cent worthwhile effort to give underprivileged children the kinds of after school experi ence which so many middle class children are lucky enough to take for granted This addition to the original LEAP (Life Enrichment Activi ties Is called the amily Enrichment Program Something about this tomorrow

President Arland Christ Janker in making the presentation Wednesday said Shriver has been determined pursue a career in profit but for profiting Shriver told a convocation that the war on poverty is not dead and cited a $200 million appropriation for it that Con gress passed Tuesday think it would be worth while for all of us today to take a pledge that when the war in Vietnam is over that we will take the money that spending out there and spend it on human resources on human beings especially the poor here at he said Shriver said many persons who say the nation cannot af ford both the war in Vietnam and the war on poverty against the war on poverty be fore there was a war In Viet and will be it after the war Is Shriver said he would leave today for Europe to receive a John Kennedy Memorial Award from the Institute for American Studies in Spain He said the trip had nothing to do with reports he will be come next ambassador to rance He declined to com ment specifically on those re ports I Take a long look at newspapers and their place in the community with Lynn Townsend chief executive officer of the Chrysler? Corporation This is his evaluation: "We are in a position to know that in troubled times like these a community heeds a newspaper more than ever People need to know what other people are doing and thinking They need facts and they need discussion of the main issues of the day They need newspapers to bring the life of their community into focus and give it identity and purpose" This is his comment on newspaper advertising: "We are going to need newspaper advertising to keep our sales moving up to the higher levels that we are going to achieve in the years ahead No other medium can keep car buyers so well informed about current motoring values" rom a talk given at annual meeting of Inland Daily Press Association In Chicago PRESS HERALD EVENING EXPRESS.
