Still In Her Car

Surprise Visitor At Foto Fair

The Foto-Fair, across from tiie Indianapolis Motor Speedway on 16th Street, had a surprise visitor about 11:30 a.m., Saturday - - still in her car. Mrs. Shirley J. Whitmore, 3179 Chrysler, was driving south on Georgetown Road. As she turned east onto 16th Street, tiie right hand door of her car came open and her son, John, two years old, started to fall from tiie car. in reaching to save the child, Mrs. Whitmore lost control of the car, struck a metal street light pole and guard rail, and drove through the front of the Foto-Fair Shop. Michael J. Michele, manager and Orville Weddell, 4947 W. 13th Street, were in the shop at the time. Mr. Weddell was standing at the counter next to the cash register, with his back to the door, and Mr. Michele was ringing up a sale. As Mr. Michele said, “I looked up and saw tiie car coming. I was speechless, but cried out, ther. got out the iack door witn the display case following me” The case referred to was one which formed a divider between the shop and the back room. Mr. Weddell jumped to the side of the room in time to escape full impact of the car. As Michele came out the back door, Officer Stamm of the Speedway Police Department was driving up. He called for an ambulance, which took Mr. Weddell and the Whitmores to the hospital, where they were checked and released. Mr. Weddell had cuts on his left hand, and slight injuries to his leg. The Whitmores suffered shock. Damage to the front of tiie

pon may then be used to register for a drawing for a door prize at the end of the Grand Opening. The shop is equipped with Speed Queen equipment, with all-stainless steel tubs. As well as 12-pound wahsers and 20 and 50 pound machines for large families, Mrs. Knox emphasizes that there are lots of dryers, so there is no waiting for their use. Dry cleaning is emphasized by tiie Knoxes. In addition to coin operated dry cleaning machines, the Center has steam guns and a steam cabinet for finishing cleaned items. A dropoff service for dry cleaning is also available. Six of the coinoperated dry cleaners are available, only thirty minutes are needed to do an eight-pound load. Mr. and Mrs. Knox have operated a laundromat on the east side of the city, so they are no strangers to this kind of business. Other staff includes Mrs. Celia Ponder and Mrs. Betty O’Neal, both of whom are west side residents. The shoj is open 7 days a week, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., an attendant is always on duty.

James Shane Instructs Parents About Education

Co-operation between parents and school is essential in education of children with learning disabilities, acurding to a discussion held last week at a meeting at the Speedway Public Library. Dr. Jamis F. Shane, cf the Department of Education and Psychology of Butler University spoke to the group of interested residents who attended the meeting, hosted by Mrs. Duane Wiechers. Dr. Stene is director of the Bureau of Clinical Services at Butler University, and outlined the approach to learning disabilities of the Clinic. Three features are considered in respect to a child with learning disabilities, he said: Is this youngster near or within an average range of intelligence? Where, is he achieving I .’ As specifically as possible, what is the child’s disability area? Some children who come to the Clinic for evaluation come with emotional or attitudinal problems, often related to iiome and/or school; these problems must be cut through before a specific learning disability can be approached. The Clinic at Butler is a training institution, which trains both graduate and undergraduate students in psychometry, assisting in testing. Adequate evaluation is important; after the testing program for a child who is brought to the Clinic, the staff confers

principal in the Fisher, Newby, Allison, and Wheeler Elementary Schools, and atthespeed* way Junior High School. He to currently principal at the Wheeler School. Miss Julia Ann Allen has been appointed principal at Wheeler Elementary School succeeding Mr. McClelland. Miss Allen earned her bachelor's degree at Ball State University, and her master’s degree at Butler University. She came to Speedway in 1956 and has since taught kinder-

with the parents on the results of the testing, then a program is prescribed to help the child, in a classroom setting if possfote. Additional program is sometimes prescribed, whether through referral to an appro priate agency or in the tutorial program at the Clinic. Examples of learning disabilities which were described were perceptual-motor, visual, auditory, language, or other combinations of learning disorders. A child may have good visual acuity, hut not haw good visual perception— for example, may not be able to distinguish the shape of a letter ot a word against the background of other printed material. Or a child may haw good bearing acuteness, but he unable to distinguishbetweenspe- ' ciLe similar sounds, or towre- < member the distinction. This problem related to inability to learn to read using the phonics approach, which relies on distinguishing sounds. A motor skill which can cause problems by Ms lack is that of tracking with the ayes, following a left-right progression in reading. The history of special education in Indiana was traced briefly: in 1932 the Legislature passed the first law, which permitted—not mandatededucation for physically handicapped children; retarded children or those with special learning disabilities were not included. In the middle 1940*s the law was expanded to include retarded children; again law was permissive, not obligatory. In 1969, the Legislature passed a bill which is to go into effect in 1973, which orders education for hard of hearing and deaf children; the partly sighted and blind; trainable mentally retarded and educable mentally retarded, and those with multiple handicaps. This time children with learning disabilities were also included. Funding for special education for a long time was not included in state distribution of funds. The group at the recent meeting expressed concern ttat the date of the current law not be moved from 1973 to a later date, then to one even later, with the effect that children will continue not to receive the special education needed. In answer to questions from the audience, Dr. Shane said there is no age limit in evaluate a child with learning difficulties, although the older the child reached, the more dttcntt ttak child is to help. “We’re speaking mostly of perceptual tasks here,” he pointed out. Butler Uniwrsity is one of five regional centers with special educational materials, in the Instructional Materials Center, in the basement of Jordan Hall. Parerts may come to the Center to see what materials are available to hel” their children. Mrs. Wiechers invited those attending who were interested in organizing a group to work with the school system with a special education prograia for Speedway, to give her their names. The first meeting of such a group, to be named Parents’ Organization for Special Education (P.O&EJ will be held tonight—Dec. 9-at 7:30 pun. in the Town Hall Auditorium. The organization is not limited to parents, but is open to anyone who is interested in the field of special education. Anyone who has questions may call Mrs. Wiechers at 241-1158.
