I I ' la.T Questions to pique one's imagination Why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor when you can't drink and drive? Why isn't phonetic spelled the way it sounds? Why arc there interstate highways in Hawaii? Why are there notation devices under plane scats instead of parachutes? Why arc cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there? Do you need a silencer if you are going to shoot a mine? Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations? How docs the guy who drives the snowplow get to work in the mornings? If 7-1 1 is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, why are there locks on the doors? If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose? If nothing ever sticks to TEFLON, how do they make TEFLON stick to the pan? If you tied buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropped it from a height, what would happen? If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights? You know how most packages say "Open here"? What is the protocol if the package says, "Open somewhere else:? Why do they put Braille dots on the keypad of the drive-up ATM? Why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways? Why is it that when you transport something by car, it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship, it's called cargo? You know that little indestructible black box that is used on planes, why can't they make the whole plane out of the same substance? Why is it that when you're driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio? Do you know who, in 1923, was: President of the largest steel company? President of the largest gas company? President of the New York Stock Exchange? The greatest wheat speculator? President of the Bank of International Settlement? The Great Bear of Wall Street? These men would have been considered some of the world's most successful men. At least, they found the secret to making money. Now, more than 70 years later, do know what became of these men? The President of the largest steel company, Charles Schwab, died a pauper. The president of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson, went insane. The president of the NYSE, Richard Whitney, was released from prison to die at home. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger, died abroad, penniless. The president of the Bank of International Settlement shot himself. The great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Rivcrmore, committed suicide. The same year, 1923, the winner of the most important golf championship, Gene Sarazan, won the US Open and PGA Tournaments. He played golf avidly and remained solvent his entire life. Conclusion: Stop worrying about business and start playing golf. (TZZi O School's open! The Jefferson County Middle School opened its doors to students Tuesday, December 12.

Participation in the process of making decisions about the nature and operation of the program. 2. Participation in the classroom as paid employees, volunteers or ob servers. 3. Activities for parents which they have helped to develop. 4. Working with their children in cooperation with the staff of the cen ter. Suggested ideas parents may want to use in carrying out these four kinds of participation are: 1. Participation in the process of making decisions about the nature and operation of the program. A. Become an active member of the Head Start Center Committee. B .Talk with other parents and staff about the program and ways they can help. C. Share information about the program and ideas on ways to im prove the program with other parents and staff. D. Keep up with what's happen ing in the program. E. Provide support and assistance to representatives to the Policy Com mittee or Council or serve as a repre sentative. 2. Participation in the classroom as paid employees, volunteers or ob servers. A. Many parents have their first contact with Head Start when they are encouraged by other parents to visit the center and see how their child works and plays with other children. B. Soon after parents begin mak ing contact with the center by visit ing, they often volunteer to work with the children, help the staff pre pare materials for the activities they are doing with the children, and be come involved in planning sessions for the daily activities. C. Parents may want to assist in planning and making arrangements for activities for the children, which take place away from the center, such as field trips around the community and visits to the doctor and dentist. D. Parents must receive prefer ence for employment as non-professionals in the center. It is important for parents to have a copy of the personnel policies for the Head Start program and become familiar with them. Personnel policies of Grantee andor Delegate agencies must in clude the duties and responsibilities of policy committees and councils. Specific attention must be given to the involvement of the Council and or Policy Committee in hiring, firing and grievance procedures of Head Start staff. 3. Activities for parents which they have helped to develop. A. Parents may plan educational programs in areas which are of inter est to them. Parent coordinators should provide resources needed by parents to carry out these programs. B. Parents may also wish to work together on community problems which are of common concern, such as health, housing, education and welfare. C. Parent groups often may spon sor activities and programs which will be of benefit to the families in their community. D. Advance planning should be done by parents in order to include in the program budget a request for the funds needed to carry out parent spon sored activities. The funds, when granted, should be placed in the par ent activity fund. 4. Working with their children in their own home in connection with the staff of the center. A. Parents can use the time when staff members visit their homes to: a. Get ideas from staff about things they can be doing with their children to help the children continue learn ing experience started at the center. b. Share ideas with the Head Start staff for things a parent feels should be a part of the activities of the cen ter. B. Most parents welcome Head Start staff into their homes. How ever, home visits are not a condition of the child's participation in Head Start. The Guidelines state that at least two visits should be made to each home during a Full Year Pro gram. However, many parents and center staff feel that home visits should be made as often as once each month. Apologies from Head Start.
