Mr. and Mrs. Joel McCree pf 304 Harvard Place have returned home after vacationing in Nassau, an island in New Providence which boasts a population of 85 per cent Negro. Mrs. McCree said they enjoyed going shopping and to the beaches. Her husband is a Federal Court bailiff, so he especially enjoyed visiting the British Courts. “They still wear the wigs,”

Mrs. McCree noted.

The couple went by jet to Miami, Fla., and from there flew to Nassau. Since Mrs. McCree is an art enthusiast, being head of the Crispus Attucks Art Department, the beautiful colors of the flowers, water, and art work was of special interest to her. She mentioned bringing home figurines of the natives carved in black and interesting handicrafts done by the natives. Mrs. McCree described the yellowish Poinciana trees in full bloom and the many beautiful palm trees, and new homes— mostly in pink or other pastel colors. Many places had wood

shingle roofs.

She was. impressed by the natives who, she said, spoke ex-

cellent English standing proud and erect.

Mr. and Mrs. McCree’s tours took them to see the modern and the quaint hospitals, religious schools, churches and market

places on the wharf.

They observed the natives cutting and drying fish and watched the many boats which every three days brought 800 to 900 tour-

ists to the island of 60,000 people.

Stating there was no racial prejudice in Nassau, Mrs. McCree said the natives held some jobs of high esteem and everyone was

very friendly.

During a night club date, the couple heard Roy Hamilton play. She said the governor lives on the top of the hill in a castle. He is appointed for a three year term by the Queen of

England

One of the prize possessions of the Nassau population is the “Princess Margaret Hospital.” The natives said it gets “cool” sometimes in January and February, “75” to “80” degrees.

WEIR COOK Municipal Airport was the adventurous scene of departure for Mrs. Theresa Smith Guise (second from right) who left Friday morning to join her husband, Dr. Paul Guise, in New York, for an extended trip by jet to Freetown, Sierra Leone, Africa. Bidding Mrs. Guise goodbye before she boards the TWA airplane are (from left to right) her sister, Mrs. Doris Smith Jones; Mrs. Marilyn Johnson, church editor of The Indianapolis Recorder, and Mrs. Louise Terry Batties, director of The Recorder Women Sponsors. Mrs. Guise and her sister have both been ardent members of The Recorder Women Sponsors. Her husband has accepted a two-year assignment with the United States Medical Health Program as assistant surgeon in charge of health of the Americans in the Peace Corps. -drdoptive, Zdorier f\ircnt.^ sdre ddoughl joe ^JdomefeAS *3ndianapo(is HoungAterA By PAT L. WILLIAMS, Women’s Editor Do you like children? Possess that natural friendly attitude? Enjoy sharing with others? Have a Dice comfortable home? Do you have steady employment and a stable income? Have you always wanted a child? If you can answer “yes” to the six questions above, then chances are good you can easily qualify as an adoptive or foster parent for one or more of the Negro children who now need homes. According to Bill Stafford, homefinder in the Division of Child Welfare, it is the general consensus that it’s far better to have a child in a “real home” situation than in an unsuitable environment which could well contribute to delinquency. It is felt the home situation plays an important party in the child's development and what he will finally be, since home training determines what he will do or accomplish in the future. The child welfare division strives to find homes for children so they can get the proper spiritual, cultural and moral upbringing. Mr..Stafford is specifically working with the Negro community in the areas of foster homes and adoptions. He deals particularly with establishing a greater degree of understanding regarding Public Welfare needs, objectives, and procedures. Mr. Stafford has been with the agency a number of years and is available to talk to interested groups and clubs regarding its program. The social worker is widely- BILL STAFFORD known for his years of volunteer service with young people on the Northside. He is manager of a Junior Baseball team, chairman of the recreation committee of the School 43 PTA, and a member of the Shortridge Parent-Teacher Human Relations Council, among activities. He and his wife, Pauline; daughter, Martha, and son, Ricky, reside at 3930 N. Capitol. Fenton McKeller, supervisor of placing children, said there are 44 youngsters who need homes. Requirements for foster and adoptive parents are just about the same, one difference being that the foster parent can be 45 to 50 years old, while an adoptive parent can’t be over 45 years old. The age limit was made on the assumption that the average person over 45 would tend to be “set in his ways” by the time his child got to be a teenager. He would not enjoy participating in sports and other activities which require a partnership between child and parent. In a foster home situation the mother is not allowed to work, while an adoptive mother could keep employment so long as adequate plans for babysitting are made. Foster home parents know the situation of child-parent relationship is not a permanent one and that they can’t identify too much with a child, but adoptive parents maintain an intimate relationship and permanent custody of their child legally on a lifetime basis. Neither adoptive nor foster parents have to own homes, although they must be adequately established and the child must have a bed of his own. Couples who have been married three years are eligible to be adoptive or foster parents. Exceptions are made in this case, since the welfare division feels child placement depends to a large degree on the stability of the individual and home. If decided favorably, a single woman or widow who meets the necessary requirements may become an adoptive or foster parent. Couples interested in becoming adoptive or foster parents should phone Miss Heien Heady, ME. 3-3890. Miss Heady is chief supervisor of the Child Welfare Division. Upon meeting with Miss Heady two caseworkers will be assigned to contact the interested parties and make an appointment with them. The couple will study the home application and information sheets and fill them out. _ After these preliminary steps, the parents will enter a ‘ home study” period when their medical record will be reviewed. It must be generally agreed that both husband and wife want the child and one must be as interested as the other. The caseworker will visit the prospective parents’ home and must see references from those who know the couple and their interest in adopting a child. The home study committee meets with the applicants and they are offered a child. Foster homes are usually sought for children whose parents ^ Continued on Page f,

Dr. Guise has accepted a twoyear assignment with the United States Medical Health Program as assistant surgeon in charge of health of the Americans in the Peace Corps. Dr. and Mrs. Guise have been living in Detroit where he completed his internship at the receiving hospital. Mrs. Guise returned to Indianapolis the past week for a short visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Curvin Smith, 422 W. 41st, and other members of the family. During her visit here, her husband completed official business in Washington, D.C., where he and other members of the Federal Medical Health Program, with their wives, were invited by President and Mrs. John F. Kennedy to attend a reception in their honor at the White House. This same courtesy will be extended them by the President two years hence upon their return. Dr. and Mrs. Guise spent a few days in London, England, enroute to Dr. Guise’s assignment in Africa. Mrs. Guise, during her short visit in Indianapolis, was recipient of a number of lovely gifts and courtesies extended to her by the friends who wished them success and happiness in this important and patriotic service to our country. All correspondence to Dr. and Mrs. Guise will be sent in care of Peace Corp Representative, American Embassy, Freetown, Sierra Leone, Africa.
