NEELY, Patter Where Vhhon Are Always Welcome ' "Faith... ... It a priceless gift that every ens can posses . . . a source of lov.. comfort and strength which is sorely needed in these troublad times. Only you and I, as parents can give this gift of Faith to our children. If we want them to know the oy of Faith tomorrow . . , we must give our children the gift of Faith today." Herbert H. Lehman from Kew York bria bring them to worship this week li win involve five govern ment agencies, several private organizations, and hundreds of scientists, physicians, sociol ogists and educators. Officials disclosed that the program calls for history's first experiments with pregnant mon keys, an unprecedented study of infants from their first mom ents of life, and for a vastly ex panded effort to develop better methods of treatment and re habilitation. The goal is to reduce, if not to wipe out, the great human waste which cerebral palsy and mental retardation cause every year. There are an estimated 4(800,000 mentally retarded Americans,' many of them vic tims of cerebral palsey. Ap proximately 1.500,000 of these are children. They are an im mense problem for themselves, for their parents, and for society as a whole. In many cases, their brains are so undeveloped or so damaged they cannot even feed themselves. The new govern ment program is an answer to the demands of Congress and parents groups for action in a field which, by general admis sion, has been notoriously neglected for years. It also is "n effort to exploit recent scientific discoveries which offer some, promise of progress for the first time. FRIENDS 'PAINT HOUSE Charles City, Iowa UJ!)
