“We must open the doors of oppor­
tunity. But we must also equip our
people to walk through those doors.”
Lyndon B. Johnson

“Surely, it is not beyond our re­
sources nor our ingenuity to include in
our war against poverty these always
‘excluded’ Americans (the migrants).”

La costumbre de estar ausente
de casa todas las noches tarde o
temprano es causa de serios dis­
gustos domésticos. Si , las obliga­
ciones y deberes lo exigen, per­
fectamente,- pero si se sale de noche
a noche . . . sencillamente para
reunirse en sociedad, dejando a la
esposa en la casa, o con los niños,
tengase presente que nada bueno
hay que esperar de esa conducta.

they have problems, or when they
need an "opportunity." Through
the opportunity centers many farm
workers get help with their health
problems. They f i n d out where
clinics are held so they can get im­
munizations. When a farm worker
is seriously ill the opportunity cen­
ters see that they get the emer­
gency care they need. And, they
learn how to find these services on
their own.
A t the opportunity centers there
are people to help the migrant
solve his problems. The chance is
provided for him to meet other
people with the same problems.
Together they discuss the problems
and find solutions.
Day Care Centers: A day care cen­
ter is where farm workers can leave
their children while they work in
the fields. The children get vac­
cinations and immunizations at the
center. Each child also gets a doc­
tor's examination. The children re­
ceive good physical care and a hot

They learn how to get along with
other children, They learn how to
act when they are away from their
parents. And, m a n y of their
mothers work in the day care cen­
ters and learn new things about
child care.
House Meetings: At house meetings
people from one_area get together
and talk about their problems. They
look for ways to solve the prob­
lems. Everyone is free to say what
he wants, and many new ideas
come out. A t house meetings the
V.M.L. finds out what the farm
workers want and neecf. Then they
try to provide programs to meet
these n e e d s . Through the house
meetings the migrant is given the
chance to find out how he can help
himself.
These are the main things that
the V.M.L. does for "migrants." The
reason that special things are given
to farm workers is because they
need special help. In the future
machines w ill do much of the work
that they do now, then they w ill
have to find other jobs. To get
other jobs they need more educa­
tion, and more opportunities. That
niños reciben las vacunas y atención
medica necesaria. Ellos son bien
cuidados y reciben un buen al­
muerzo. Se familiarizan con otros
niños. Aprenden a portarse cuando
están sin sus padres. Y, algunas de
las madres tambie'n trabajan en
estos centros y aprenden muchas
cosas nuevas aperca del cuidado de
los niños.
Juntas: En estas reuniones la gente
de dicha área discute sus proble­
mas. Tratan de resolverlos. Cada
uno puede decir los que quiere y
resultan muchas ideas nuevas. En
estas reuniones el V.M.L. se entera
de lo que la gente quiere y ne­
cesita. Después ellos planean pro­
gramas p a ra ayudar a estas
necesidades.
Estas son las cosas principales
que el V.M.L. hace por los trabaja­
dores migratorios. Cosas especiales
se ofrecen a los trabajadores de
labor porque ellos necesitan ayuda
especial. En el futuro las maquinas
reemplazaran la mayor parte de su
trabaja de modo que ellos tendraVi

is what the Valley Migrant League
is trying to give them.
