Helping Our Kids Last week we ran an editorial on the problems of the exceptional children in Adams county, and it was very well received by a number of people closely associated with the problem. In our small county alone, there are more than 75 children, at the present .time, whose parents realise their exceptional problems. Two of these children are obtaining wonderful help at Johnny Appleseed school, Fort Wayne; approximately eight are being helped by work at the Vera Cruz Opportunity school. But what about the rest of our children who are mentally retarded, but who would be able to learn a good deal if properly instructed ?_ What about a program of national research to help conquer this problem? L Medical science, through molecular biology, is on the threshhold of discovering the very molecules which cause the problems of improper growth of cells, and ways to correct this. It would mean that within our lifetime these children, now doomed to being exceptional, can possibly be helped to the point of normality. mm 2 Sen. Edward M. Kennedy has written an article on the request of President Johnson for $41.8 million to combat mental retardation and mental illness in the United States. We hope you read the article when we print it soon. Frank Daley', well-known Washington, D. C., columnist, has the following to say concerning the article: The late President Kennedy’s hope that the 1960 s would be the years “in which the United States took the leadership to make mentally retarded boys’ and girls’ lives more hopeful and fruit f uF’ is now on its way to become a reality. Sen. Kennedy’s article presents some startling statistics to emphasize the need for immediate action in this too-little-explored problem. ' There are more than 5,000,000 mentally retarded Americans. Perhaps another 25,000,000 are intimately and emotionally involved with the condition of the five-million. That’s more than 10 per cent of the entire population. Sen. Kennedy’s article is therefore welcome as it focuses public attention on the national effort to discover the causes of mental retardation and mental illness, to work for its cure, and to seek improved rehabilitation methods to fit its victims into the pattern of our society. Less than a quarter es * century ago another President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, lent his support to a concerted effort to conquer polio. A few years ago an effective vaccine against this crippier of children Was discovered. This “bold new approach” for a coordinated attack of the twin mental disorders promises to be one of the major goals of modern medicine. As Sen. Kennedy points out “If we can continue this enlightened support of proven programs, we may yet see the day when mental retardation and mental illness are banished from the land.” Editorial written by Dick Heller

DECATUR CATHOLIC By Patty Sctoner ■ ■ Hi. Wednesday morning during activities period, the girls’ gym class demonstrated what they have been doing for the past few weeks. The two leading girls’ dodge ball teams, Anita Zintsmaster’s Jets and Sue Gross s Spinnerettes, kept the ball moving throughout the four quarters of this championship game. Even though the girls were in the gym, the entire high school could hear the cheering and yelling of this exciting game. The senior team, the Jets, beat the sophomores team by a score of 13 to 6. — D. C. H. S. — Thursday morning at a pep session, Dan Zintsmaster told us what is greater and more popular than the Beatles — basketball of course! A skit theh followed when Hiram Hillbilly, played by John Becker, was asked by the great sports writer, Mike Reynolds, why he never joined a professional ball team since he always made 192 baskets consecutively out of 200. Hiram Hillbilly exclaimed that he just couldn’t play basketball with shoes on and in his underwear before a crowd that included girls, so he would stick to playing in his own barnyard. The next skit was portrayed by Judy Kohne, as Mrs. Hillahee P. Hillabee, a high society dame, and Dan Heimann, the noted psychiatrist. Mrs. Hillabee told the doctor of her diet problems. After the weary doctor listened to her story and gave her advice for help she told him it was her husband she had come for, not herself. He doesn’t like basketball. In the third skirt, the devil, played by Dave Braun, met St. Peter, played by Jim Becker, between their two homes. Both were set on an intermural basketball game between the two opposing forces. St. Peter insisted that he believed he could win because all the really “good” basketball players and coaches were on his side. The devil disagreed violently because, after all, his team was pretty tricky and he had all the referees on his side. Dan Zintsmaster then asked the coach a few questions about the team. We learned that the Commodores have broken all precedents by the 14 and 6 record. After practicing our cheers, the pep session ended with the singing of the school song. — D. C. H. S. — During the past week the D. C. H. S. chorus sang for the Adams county Democratic Women’s club at the C. L. C. hall. The women enjoying the singing very much, applauded and asked them to do an encore. This group is doing a fine job and we are very proud of them. — D. C. H. S. — At the victorious game Friday, one of the sweetest senior girls.

I" ■ ■ Ann Schurger, was given the crown by the former queen, Ruth LaFontaine. While Ann was crowned the band played “Sweetheart of Sigma Chi.” Little Christe Hess, accompanied by ' Ann Gross, was crown bearer. The runners up were: Karen Andrews, Mary Ann Holthouse and Velma Fairchild. All the four girls looked darling in their pretty formals. The whole cheering block applauded wildly when Ann was crowned. Even Bryant, our opponent tor the evening, gave Ann a cheer. This was a big night for Ann and her court. After the game at the homecoming dance, Ann crowned her escort, Ed Kohne king. The entire school is proud of our new king and queen and wish them a happy reign. — D. C. H. S. — The civics and American history classes saw the movie “Is Smoking Worth It?”, during the past week. Since this is a problem everyone faces because either our parents or our friends smoke, the classes were very interested in the worthwhile points it brought out. — D. C. H. S. — The best essays selected by the faculty for the Adams county Historical society’s Civil War essay contest were those of Mike Reynolds and Patsy LaFontaine. We wish these two lots of luck when they compete with others of the local area for the winner’s award. - D. C. H. S. - Thursday evening the Commodores will play Monmouth at the Adams Central gym. At this game the cheering block win use the plittens prepared for them by some members of the Pep club. These students have worked hard sewing and getting them ready for use in the sectional. The cheer leadens and team as weD as all of D. C. H. S. are also working vigorously to make this game a success. — D. C. H. S. — A Bradford wholesale grocery set is being completed by the bookkeeping class. This project gives the boys and girls an opportunity to handle business papers, such as purchase and sales invoices, credit memoranda, incoming checks. It also gives them praetice in writing checks. making bank deposits, etc. Besides that they are studying payroll records, taxes and reports. — D. C. H. S. — “Read and Unite Our Changing World” is the slogan for Catholic book week which is being observed from Feb. 23 to 29. Francis Razo helped the librarian. Sister Petronilla, to set up a display of books and pamphlets in the library. — D. C. H. S. —
