HE PQNtlAC PRESS WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1966 ■ wwwMiyn riv|«vi wvlOG Rochester Kindergartrib.* ROCHESTER — A project which researchers believe could eliminate a high percentage of the learning and behavior problems encountered by students is being launched here. It’s the screening of kindergarten students to detect minimal brain damage — a malfunction now thought to be more prevalent than anyone has here, tofore suspected, according to Mrs. Sonya Friedman, Rochester schools psychologist. The board of education has voted funds which would pay for the research, and has at the same time applied for a 110,500 federal grant to push the project. According to Mrs. Friedman, Rochester might well be the only school district in the country set up to take advantage of the many new materials and training systems for detecting and helping such children. ★ * Full of enthusiasm for work which is being done under the auspices of Wayne State University, Mrs. Friedman hopes to win her doctorate with the project now under way. 7 VOUJNTKERS Seven Rochester women, all with.college experience, have volunteered tor training in the area of testing and as teacher aides while the project progresses. J. Om kindergarten group from each of Rochester’s elementary schools has been selected for the program. Sojne of these will be used as control units •— the testing given, but no training follow- Two classes will be two in visual motor aids; and two in a combined program of both. ^ A follow-up at the end of the first grade will determine till > impact of the program on the child’s reading achievement believed to be the basis of most learning. PRESENT SYSTEM As Mrs. Friedman explains, these are children who m i g hi well have high intelligence quotients, but who througi a malfunction of the brain are unable to forge learning patterns under the. ji resent system of schooling. These If is bier idea that should the research prove.fruitful, the whole system of education for these children might be altered. A child through with kindergarten, but as yet unready for first grade work as now proscribed, could enter what she calls a K-plus room where further training to overcome the handicap would be available. ; She sadc| if the research disproves her tbeorieb, it could mean serious reconsideration of perceptual development as now practiced in many schools. Mrs..Friedman believes that a child with such a problem must be caught between the ages of 4 and 7 in order to completely overcome handicaps pertaining to learning. , “We expect to spot and help . It least tour or five students in each kindergarten group,’ die'said. imtorian Named to State Position ORION TOWNSHIP -John B. Fortier of Lapsing, son of Mr. and Mra John R.

Name Change Urged i for Avondale District By JEAN SAILE In an attempt to rid it of a stigma from past controversy, l residents within the Avondale School, District have begun a move to change the district’s name. ‘■w fig . ★ Said Mrs. William M. Bergin, 1664 Ledbury, Bloomfield Township. “We don’t want to create any kind of disturbance like jwe’ve had in the past. “While I feel a change to tiie name is terribly important, I do not feel it’s important enough to tear the district asunder again,’’ she said. The Avondale School District has had its ups and downs over lithe past few years — a series downs b^ing with a split [board which in 1962 fired Leroy* Watt, then superintendent of schools. ★ ' ★ ★ George Shackelford was then elevated from an elementary school principalship, and the board continued as divided as ever — to the point at one time where a board member took a swing at a teacher. ON WAY UP The election of 1965 gave the district a unified board and with the advent this spring of Schools Supt. John W. Dickey the district feels it’s on its way up. Mrs. Bergin appeared with G. C.

OTHER REASONS Other reasons cited for the request was the name’s effect on property values and on , enticing new teachers to the dis- ; trict. The request was summed up1 by Mrs. Bergin’s statement: * We have changed the book and now it’s time to change the cover.’’ * ★ * Board members have not committed themselves on the name change idea.

At Enugu’s airport,j police go through luggage, readj every letter or document they fold, frisk travelers and occasionally ask to see passports. Even. Nigerians do not escape the police search. At a crossing point from western Nigeria, police and soldiers search Nigerians and confiscate any food they may be carrying; exports of foodstuffs from the eastern region are banned. * * * At a tiny airfield at Port Ear-court, the eastern region’s oil seaport, Mark Lewis pleaded diplomatic immunity, as head of the Africa division of the U.S. Information Agency, and refused to submit to a search. He was carted off at gunpoint to police station. There Lewis won his point and was released. The V. S. Embassy in Lagos, the fed capital, has instructed its personnel to resist search. PROTECTIVE WALL Ail this is part of a protective wall the easterners have thrown up around the region as the result of a feud that has been going on for 300 years. It reinforces the r e g i o n ai government’s line that it can with the rest of Nigeria. Industrious Ibo tribesmen dominate the eastern region, one of four virtually autonomous regions'that make up the Federation of Nigeria. ★ ★ ★ Under British rule, which lasted nearly 100 years uqttl 1960, Ibos emigrated to other parts of Nigeria, establishing themselves in business and commerce. Mostly they went to the northern region. In recent months, resentful northerners have brought into the open charges that the Ibos want to dominate the north. As a result, thousands of Ibos fell victims to massacres while thousands more fled eastward to ancestral Ibo tribal homes. TAX RESOURCES This tremendous influx of refugees—eastern officials say there are a million of them— has taxed the resources of the land-cramped east.

THE PONTIAC PRESS, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1066 London's Miniskirts High AH Winter Long | Fine Gilts for the Home! LONDON (AP) -The dolly girls of swinging London are ushering in the first long winter of the world’s shortest skirts. Paradoxical as ever, the London scene on the eve of winter is a phantasmagoria of bearskins and bare skins. * I • ★ * hi their lofty headgear known as bearskins, the guards guard Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace, the Duke aid Duchess of Gloucester at St. James’s Palace, and the royal Jewels at the Tower of London. But out in front of the royal establishments, and indeed, all over London, thousands of the sovereign’s miniskirted subjects trip to work showing vast expanses of sheer-stockinged bare skins. COURAGEOUS OR CRAZY? And on this misty, chilly, soggy, island, that’s not style — it’s sheer courage. Or craziness. Or both. How do they do it? A personal poll of some of the pretties revealed a lot. ★ ★ ★ They do it because the clothing manufacturers actually brought back old-fashioned underwear, craftily camouflaged as a space age style gimmick.

Samples from 17 bottles of luspect gin were fed to the instrument, which- drew graphs demonstrating the chemical content.

The all-enveloping body stocking, reaching from tootsies to topsies, is another comforting gadget for winter. hi Britain’s wintry blasts, however, tights and body stockings are not enough. Beneath the tights and body stockings, in the middle altitudes, the girlies wear a shortie version of real heavy drawers, disguised as tailored briefs or panties. London designer Mary Quant has introduced knickers to match minidresses and miniskirts. These are really streamlined bloomers from yesteryear. PROCLAMATION Let no one ever say the Brit-iish dollies wear no more beneath their miniskirts than the Scot is supposed to wear beneath his kilt. As a fashion writer has proclaimed: "Under the mini-est skirt there have to he stocking tights and decent panties. Under the skinniest sweater there’s got to be a bra, though it holds rather than molds'and never, but never, protrudes.” Well, the London dollies may be minted and moulded and never protruding and even will; ing to talk about the winter, but fa a personal poll only Rosemary Williams would talk about ft at all by name.

"Daddy would die,” said pert redhead, "if he read of me talking about my undies. Why, he stiU calls them unmentionables.” A dark-haired, doe-eyed girl from Dublin, who said she’d been working in London and living just off King’s Road for two years, answered: "Get cold in a miniskirt?

It doesn’t take brawn to be a stage manager, just brains. Beauty is no drawback. Personal Notes By JANET ODELL Pontiac PteN Women’* Editor Barbara-Mae Phillips must get a little tired of beihg asked, "Aren’t you rather young for the job of stage manager?” But she smiles politely and answers, "Yes, I am young,” and lets it go at that She is stage manager of the Meadow Brook Theatre, ached-uled to have its premiere performance in two weeks. But this young woman in a is experienced beyond sented and in summer stock. She was always backstage on the production staff. She apprenticed at Philadelphia’s Playhouse in the* Park and earned a 1250 technical scholarship. This was theatre in the round. ’ w ★ ★ That fall, failing to find a theatrical job in New York City, Barbara took a nine-to-five job in the communications department of Family Circle Magazine — and hated it. The'next spring she quit and went back to the Playhouse for for the summer as property mistress and "ran the show from t»e floor.” A third summer at fee Playhouse saw her in a more responsible position as unofficial show technician.

A little girl with a big job, Barbara-Mae is dwarfed by the scaffolding on the stage of the theatre in Matilda Wilson Hall. urer in the Mineola Theatre (In Long Island), studied a bit more at the academy and returned to Philadelphia for her fourth summer. This time she was officially die show technician, the first woman to have this title in the non-Equity position. It was there that she worked with Eric Berry, a friend of John Fernaid, director of the Mfptdow Brook Theatre. Berry is This Reader Got Wrong Impression By ELIZABETH L. POST Dear Mrs. Post: I heartily disagree with your information on how to introduce a mother-in-law. My father and, my husband always introduced their mothers-in-law as my wife’s mother or as Stella’s mother, and it is so much nicer and does not involve that much maligned phrase ‘mother-in-law.’ I do the same for my father-in-law and introduce him as John’s father. I think you must agree that it brings the family into a much nicer vein of thought. John’s Wife. WWW Dear John’s Wife: You misunderstood my answer. I simply do not think it friendly to introduce your in-laws as ‘‘Mr.” or ‘‘Mrs. Jones” without explaining the relationship. I heartily agree with you — “my husband’s mother” or “Mary’s father, Mr. Smith” is as nice a form, or more so, than “my father-in-law, Mr. Smith.” now a member of the John Fernaid Company. HER job What does a stage manager do, we asked. “I’m the watchdog,” says Barbara-Mae. • • When the show rehearsals start, she blocks out all action , with the director and then makes sure the actors stick to that plan. • She sees that rehearsal props are on hand. • She cues in lights with the assistant stage manager. • She knows the sound cues and uses a tape recorder for them during rehearsal. • She gets the actors on stage on time and watches out for Equity rules. Actors Equity Association is the actors’ union. This is her first Equity position. Michigan is file farthest from home Barbara-Mae has ever been. She’d never flown before her arrival last month and she didn’t like that flight. - #’* # She shares one of the trailers in the former Wilson barnyard with Angela Wood, a Canadian actress.
