The devout had prepared for Christmas. Special foods were cooked for a feast to end the six week fast. Religious services began Friday afternoon. A t seven they ended to begin again at 1 a.m., lasting until 9 a.m. Saturday morning. Two mem bers o f the VML staff attended the earlier services. Candlelight gleamed on the sur face of the ancient bronze ikons. Religious leaders tended the candles and led the service sung from the holy book. A ll the voices rose and fell in deep fu ll harmony, singing praise for the coming of Christ.— P.C.

Benefits from D ay Care Cannot be measured (Excerpt from an article on the Valley Migrant League which ap peared in the Woodburn Indepen dent last week.) No one~can actually measure the results that come from the child care and summer school programs. The observer is invited to do his own guessing. W illie, misses tw o months of school and never catches up. John ny gets help from summer school and passes his grade. The future w ill tell the difference. And what of the child, age three, who sits in a car all day long while his parents work in the field? An other child, the same age, is taken to a day care center where he has attention, interesting toys, sanitary facilities, attractive surroundings, and affectionate supervision. It is not unlikely that the latter child, throughout 'his school life and be yond, w ill possess some unseen values and attitudes that could not have come to him had he spent the summer imprisoned in a car. VML day care enrollments for 1966 totaled 1412; summer school enrollment was 989. __ ______ NO PUEDEN MEDIR LOS BENE FICIOS DE LOS CENTROS DE ATENCION PARA ÑIÑOS (Cita de lun artículo acerca del VML que apareció la semana pasada - en el Woodburn Independent.) Nadie puede medir los resultados dérivados de los centros de aten ción para niños y los programas de la escuela de verano. Le invitamos a adivinar por sí mismo. W illie pierde dos meses de es cuela y nunca puede recobrarlos. Johnny consigue la ayuda necesaria de la escuela de verano para poder pasar a otra clase. El futuro reve lará la diferencia. ¿Y qué del niño de tres años de edad, quien pasa todo el día sen tado en el auto mientras sus padres trabajan en el campo? Otro niño de la misma edad, se cuida en un cen tro donde goza de atención, jugu etes, facilidades de salubridad, un ambiente agradable y cuidado cariñoso. Se puede concluir que este niño, por su vida escolar y aun más, poseerá unos beneficios y actitudes que no habría podido tener si hu biera pasado el verano encarcelado en un auto. Se cuidaron a 1412 en el pro grama VML de Atención para Niños, había 989 cii en ia la escueia escuela ae de verano. verano.
