S
licensed facilities for the mentally
retarded.
We have become aware of a
national group called ‘Operation
Real Rights, Inc.” Its membership
came from Pennsylvania and incor-
porated in New England about one
and one half years ago. These
people are part of the Association of
Retarded Citizens (ARC) movement
which started the action to close
Pennsylvania’s Pennhurst Center
for the Mentally Retarded, in Ches-
ter County, using federal courts to
achieve their goals. The Pennsyl-
vania Association of Retarded Citi-
zens (PARC) initiated the Pen-
nhurst litigation without allowing
parents to comment, agree or disa-
families of mentally retarded people
never knew what was happening
until it was too late to object.
Operation Real Rights, Inc., is
sponsoring a piece of legislation
called “Community Living for the
Severely Disabled Act - 1983.” This
piece of legislation would stop Medi-
caid funding for any facility which
has over eight people living in it.
You can see why we say all institu-
tions and private licensed facilities.
This legislation is being looked at
now by your legislators in Washing-
ton, D.C.
We have spoken to the offices of
Senator John Heinz and a few con-
gressmen. We will contact more.
We have sent them information
pointing out the dangers to our
children if they support this act. We
have been trying to have families of
clients residing at White Haven
State Center notified of the dangers
of such a drastic move.
If you have never before stated
your feelings about the future of
your family member - please do so
now! If you do not - I hesitate to say
where your child will be living in
the near future. I cannot tell you
how serious this situation is. You, as
parents-guardians, cannot allow a
group such as Operation Real
Rights, Inc., to tell you or our state
bers should live. You are the one
who knows what is bet for your
mentally retarded family member,
If you are concerned about the
above, write to: Senator John
Heinz, SR 469, Russell Senate Build-
ing, Washington, D.C. 20510; Sena-
tor Arlen Spector, SR 360, Russell
Senate Building, Washington, D.C.

“I pledge allegiance to the
flag...”
“0, say can you see...”
The words seemed so mean-
ingless when I was a child.
They were words I used to
recite every morning in a
classroom, words that would
echo through the church hall
every Thursday afternoon at
my Girl Scout meeting, words
that were sung before every
Little League baseball game.
They were words drilled into
my head by almost everyone
around me.
They were words I always
spoke in a rather nonchalant
manner. But, they were words
I would never, ever forget.
Today, when I say the
words, the nonchalant manner
with which a child recites a
verse has disappeared. In its
place are a lump in my throat
and chills up and down my
spine. Very embarassingly, I
still choke back a tear or two
when I sing ‘The Star-Span-
gled Banner.”
Because, today they are
words I have come to under-
stand, words I have come to
love. Today, I know what it
means to be an American and
I have come to realize the
significant meaning behind
the words of “The Pledge of
Allegiance” and ‘The Star-
Spangled Banner.” And, with
the understanding of these
words, came the understand-
ing of being. an American
citizen - the understanding of
freedom of speech, freedom of
religion and freedom of the
press.
Having lived through such
things as presidential assassi-
nations, the Viet Nam War
and Reagonomics, it is some-
times difficult to believe in
America, but each and every
one of us has to admit that
being an American is not as
bad as it sometimes may
seem. od
Sure, we suffer a high rate
of unemployment, we pay
exorbitant amounts of tax
thoney and, with somewhat
as much as we'd like to for
the houses in which we live.
But, we must still remem-
ber that it is in America
where we have the freedom to
read what we want, study
what we want and believe in
what we want. Although the
political leaders of our coun-
A 21 DAY
The American Historic and Cul-
try have some control over us,
they do not breathe down our
necks and tell us what we can
and cannot do in our daily
course of events.
We can all be proud to be
Americans, and we should
take time to display that
pride.
The American Historic and
Cultural Society, Inc. of Wash-
ington, D.C. has asked that all
Americans participate in a 21-
ica” this year. The salute will
begin on June 14 (Flag Day)
and continue through the
Fourth of July. :
J, Willard Marriott of. the
Society explains the salute’as™
such: “Thegd2l days between
these historica dates were set
aside by Congréss as a period
to honor America in public
gatherings and activities at
which the people can cele-
brate and honor their country
in an appropriate manner.
Our flag is a constant symbol
of our freedom, our heritage,
and our aspirations. We who
enjoy all that it stands for
must be mindful that what we
inherit from our grandfathers
must be earned if it is to be
truly our own.”
Twenty one days to honor
our country is not a long time.
After all, look how long she
has been here for us. If each
and every one of us took just
a moment and tried to put
ourselves in ‘the ‘Shoes of our
forefathers whos fought so
hard for what we have today,
we may all come away with 2
much healthier outlook.
. Bake .a moment toirecite the
words of “The Pledge of Alle-
giance’’ ‘and “The Star-Span-
gled Banner.” ‘And do it with-
out the nonchalant attitude of
a child - for there is meaning
behind those words.
Join in this 21-day salute to
“Honor - America.” Fly the
flag and be American Proud!

to sell books, serve refreshments,
help with odds and ends, sell candy,
work in the barn, be a runner or
whatever, call Joanne or the
library. We will find a place for you.
The library is accepting donations
of books for the book booth. These
can be brought to the library during
regular hours. We have a month to
get primed and ready for auction
fever.
One of the best slogans I've seen
is, “DALLAS, PA. WHERE THE
AUTION IS!” Let's get ready!
The library will begin summer

library and annex will be open
Tuesday and Thursday nights only

“Mystery Walk” by Robert

for good or evil. Restless spirits
roaming the woods, a lustful girl
who drowns, then reappears, a
ghastly family massacre combine to
make this a story of confusion and
fear.
