8 HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday, December 26. 1063 Nine Awarded Prizes In Lighting Contest Nine prizes were awarded by out-of-town judges Sunday in Heppner's annual Chris t m a s lighting and decoration contest, sponsored by the Heppner-Mor-row County Chamber of Com merce. First in the residential outdoor division was the Christian church parsonage, the Rev. and Mrs. Charles Knox, 275 Gale Street. Second in this division was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gene Pierce, 485 Gale Street, and third were Diane and Dennis Warren who decorated the home of their parents on Soulih Main (Back of Fulleton's Chevrolet). For the first time this year, a fourth place was added in the outdoor and indoor residential divisions. Winning fourth in the outdoor competition was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Lov gren, 260 May Street. Prizes were $10, $7.50, $5, and $2.50. In indoor residential, the win dow of the L. E. Dick home, 2fi0 N. Gilmore, was judged best, That in the Lutheran parsonage, the Rev. and Mrs. Kenneth Rob inson, 676--Alfalfa, was second, and at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Lovgren, 240 S. Court, was tihird. Fourth was Erna Win chester, North Main. In this div ision prizes also were $10, $7.50, $5 and $2.50, although they were publicized as being $7.50, $5 and $2.50 for three places. Because of the large number of entries in the residential div isions and the fact that only one commercial window was entered, the prize money for the residen tial entries was increased' and the fourth places added. Winner in the commercial sec tion was the beautiful entry of Lois' Beauty Shop, good for a $10 prize.

Remedial Reading Questions Answered (Editor's Note: This is the last of two articles by Hillard Brown on the elementary remedial reading program.) By HILLARD BROWN Principal, Heppner Elementary Schools 1. What children do we in clude in our remedial reading program? Only those children of normal or above normal intelligence are included in a remedial class. Mentally retarded children are of necessity, taught in special classes by specially trained teachers. There are many reasons why children of normal intelli gence fail to achieve satisfac torily in reading. Very rarely is one factor found to be the sole cause of a reading problem. Some general types of causes are physical, emotional and en vironmental. 2. How are children selected for this program? Usually, the referrals are made by the room teacher when a reading handicap hinders a child in his daily work. Tests of various types are given by the reading teacher to determine his reading achievement level and what particular reading difficulties and weaknesses he may have. Work is then given to promote growth in these areas. 3. How long will my child be in the remedial reading class? No definite span of time can possibly be set for the length of a course. Help begins at the reading level he is achieving. It endeavors to build carefully and steadily his confidence and skills just as rapidly as he can progress. At such a time as he can independently do the work lequired at his ability level, he is dismissed. Not only the read ing teacher's opinion is consid ered in this matter, but also the feelings of the room teacher and the child's parents. 4. What are some special read ing problems encountered in the primary grades? A. Poor phrasing reading word-by-word. B. Poor comprehension. C. Poor oral reading habits such as substituting a word for one with similar configuration; omitting words, repeating words and phrases. D. Poor phonetic skills chiefly inability to associate a sound heard with a printed symbol. 5. What special problems are typical of reading in the upper grades? , A. Poor phonetic analysis abil ity: This often shows up in spell ing as well as reading. It in cludes the inability to associate sounds and printed symbols, in ability to speak sounds suggested by printed symbols and to use them independently when read ing and writing. B. Poor comprehension: This includes inability to recognize the general significance of ma terial read; inability to select the exact sentence and phrase which provides necessary infor mation; inability to paraphrase and summarize and express thoughts in writing. C. Slow reading rate incorrect phrasing. D. Lack of appreciation for lit erature. 6. Why are special materials used in our remedial reading programs? Special materials are used, particularly in the upper grades, because the reading level must be low and yet appeal to an older child. Junior High people often resent being taught from a fourth grade reader even though they may realize they have a severe problem. 7. Is there a stigma attached to attendance in these programs? Children feet quite comfortable in these classes. Work is geared to a level where experiences are successful in order that self con fidence can be gained. Often children ask to spend noon hours and study periods in the reading room. 8. What can I do to help my child achieve success in reading? Read to children for enjoyment remembering that you have de feated your purpose if you read on after he has grown tired of listening. Show him you value reading as important by reading books and magazines yourself. Encourage bhildren to accept responsibility for tasks they can do. See that they learn to finish what they begin. Help children become indepen dent. Small children can dress themselves, tie their shoes and pick up toys. Older boys and girls Bakers in Phoenix Now settled at Phoenix, Ariz., for the winter are Mr. and Mrs. E. Markham Baker of lone who have written a note to the should be encouraged to make some of their own decisions even if they make mistakes. This is part of learning.

This record productivity is now possible with the help of science, fainter know-how, chemicals, and electric power. Yet, electricity, which has helped triple food pro duction in only 25 years, was just a dream for most fanners as late as 1935. Teople, living in the country, were scattered . . . supposedly too costly to reach with light and power. To get electricity, rural people organized into non profit local groups, borrowed money at interest from the REA and built their own lines. Today, nearly 1,000 locally-owned Rural Electric Systems operate lVa mil lion miles of line serving 16 million Americans. As workers leave farms for other jobs, farmers are using more electricity to produce better food at lower cost. This means lower grocery bills for you and promises adequate food even when our population doubles in the years ahead. Rest of all, owner-users bear the cost of rural-electrification. Already they've paid more than SI billion in principal and interest on their $3Vn billion loans.
