REMEMBER RETARDED CHILDREN CAN BE HELPED! I have enjoyed writing this news- paper thru the year, although I need some new ideas and help. Are there any of you out there that would like an article iri our letter to advertize for something regarding retarded children? Would you like a-feature article each month on one of our children with a picture? Are there any poems that have been written about your children by an adult or a child? Do you have a thought for the month or any information of something that is being done for our children in the community? Please feel free to call me during the day or evenings or even just a call to chat. 878-0043 By Mary Kimsey LAST MONTHS PROGRAM Dr. Foster outlined the program for the year at Helen J.
