Last Friday night, January 6, was
Christmas Eve for our Russian com
munity. 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.
