Plan To Open Day-Care Centers At St. Martin • Bethany On July 14

Plans are underway by the Migrant Service Committee of Elkhart and Kosciusko counties to open the day-care centers at St. Martin de Porres church, two miles south of Syracuse and Bethany Christian high school at Waterford Mills, one mile south of Goshen college on July 14. The centers will remain open into October. Mrs. James Nelson, the new director for the Syracuse center, has submitted the following projected needs for this summer’s work which local residents and loepi organizations and churches can donate or collect money for: Old newspapers, clay, play dough, paint, brushes, story books, crayons (jumbo size eight to a box), blocks, records, kleenex, magazines, catalogs including seed and flower catalogs, housekeeping toys, farm toys,

trucks and equipment in the toy line, dolls, bubble solution, balls, punch balls, cardboard boxes, puzzles, coloring books, first aid supplies and toothbrushes. Supplies that are expected to be returned should be marked in several places. Broken toys and easily broken toys along with military toys are generally undesirable. Two full-time volunteers have been asked to assist Mrs. Nelson but a number of part-time volunteers are needed and are requested to inform Mrs. Nelson of their willingness to help at Syracuse. A token allowance paid the full-time volunteers again depends as last year upon support from the local communities: individuals, churches and organizations. Community responsibility by the established resi-

dents and genuine concern for the short-time residents can not be overlooked without spreac :ng an atmosptiere of hostility to newcomers. Checks can be made payable to the Migrant Service Committee and m'ailed to Mrs. Darrell Orn, treasurer, Milford. The next Migrant Service Committee meeting will be June 20 at 8 p.m. at St. Martin’s. THIRD YEAR FOR PONY PULL When the pony pulling contest begins at 6:30 Thursday evening cn the festival grounds, it will be for the third straight year.
