One of our Port Q ford girls has just returned home after an
assignment, or tour of duty, as it were, w ith "Vista" (Volunteers
In Service To Am erica). M ary Kathleen Dougherty whose nick
name is K itty, is die daughter of Georgia and Charles Dougherty.
K itty took the six weeks training course at Tempe, Arizona, un
der the auspices of Arizona State University. This training was
designed for work with the Maricopa Indians in the area. This
jirepara tion consisted of learning how to repair irrigation ditches,
how to k ill, clean and cook a chicken over an open fire, how to
cut glass and make window frames, how to raise a garden, and
among many odier diings, how to tutor and help children thera
peutically. For reasons known only to the government |>erhaps
K itty and her roommate were sent to a settlement where resided
200 fam ilies, all Negro, a suburb of Oklahoma City. The girls
lotnid one vacant hoitse available, which had not been occupied
for four years and which was sadly run down but w id i die help of
die community's teenagers diey soon refurbished it and die
youngsters Iwought them bits of furniture and even a workable

protective as w ell. One gentleman placed locks on dieir doors
no nothing could disturb their .Vista girls. The girls initiated base
ball teams, and die yotuigsters played against other Vista teams
i l l die city, diey organized swimming parties, diey established a
l een Center,and there were frequent C lean-U p cani|iaigns. The
girls inspired dieir older jieople to register and vote and diey
endeavored to acquaint them w idi die various jirograms that
w e r e available to them in die Community Action effort. The
girls attended alt die churches in their comm iuiity and also at
tended civic group meetings. A ll in all, it was an cx|ierience
which these yoiuig ladies w ill remember pleasantly die rest of
their lives. If there could be any criticism, according to Miss
Dougherty, it could be suggested dial die heads of diese various
governmental agencies lie required to live in the areas, and w idi
die ¡xioplc whom diey seek to help lor a jxiriod sufficiently long
so diat their concept of the basic needs could be programmed
widi more practical accuracy. Neverdiclcss, to the hundreds, yea
diousands,of Vista Volunteers whose ages nui to die eighties, and
who are livin g such a dedicated selfless life of service to dieir
leUowmen, we stand at attention and figuratively salute each
and every one!
