TXurwtey. February 18e2 Sheltered Workshop n explained at x Pembroke Kiwanis Left to Hghti Robert Johnsen, DtvMen Sheltered Workshop, Lomberto*; Jeankie Jones, Program Chairman Garth Locklear presented Mr. Bob Johnson, Director of South eastern Sheltered Workshop in Lumberton and Miss J ca nine Jones, Director of South eastern Opportunities Pro gram in Red .Springs as Speakers at the Tuesday evening meeting of the Gub at the Town and Country Restaurant. Mental Retardation is not an illness, since it cannot be cured. Conditions can be improved but not the retarda tion. 140 mentally retarded are provided job training. They do different kinds of work, are paid, and they pay taxes. They are trained at the Center in Lumberton. One out of 35 is born mentally retarded and there are over 250 causes of mental retardation. Many happen at birth. The retarded can learn ?some things but cannot theo rize or use common sense. The mildly retarded person can do many things but he is a slow leaner- usually his I.Q. is 35 and lower. Miss Jones deals with tKttSe whose I.Q. ranges from 1 to. 20. About 1952, mental health was defined in terms of mild, severe, and profound retar dation. We do know that some retardation is due to very low motivation. It is tied in closely with environment. In training programs, the I.Q. can be raised about 14 points, and this increase means the indi vidual can be more active. In Robeson County the mentally retarded range in age from 16 to 60. Programs for thef retarded progress Jrom level to level until they can go into some industrial work. Just this past year, 3^ were placed in local industries. *19W or Robeson County's industries contributed to the program. Work at the plants is done by Contract to die ability of the students. They are trained to fit into the jobs prescribed in the contract. The program has grown from $65,000. two years ago to $300,009. worth of con tracts this past year, with 142 working as trainees. The I tWtor Soothe?tern Oppor tunities Program, Red Springs; Garth Locidear, Pro ClwlnDM ? Center has a staff of 23 who check with each trainee fre quently: All Fair Business practices are used in all work at the plant. The dients pay social security taxes which earns these trainees the right to benefits in Social Security. 63 percent of the budget c&mes from the production of the trainees. Governmental' cuts affect the program and the costs will have to be borne by what the program can produce through the work of "te trainees themselves. Some of the types of work which these trainees perform are salvage work, carpentry, janitorial work, etc. Wages are determined by piece work and approximations of the minimum wage rate. Place ment is done by the program, as is follow-up procedures and evaluation procedures. The Red Springs program has been in operation about 6 months. It can serve up to 20 people but presently has 13. Those in this program are at least 16 years of age and some ages as high as 60. These people are severely retarded. Some also have physical diffi culties, some are blind, suffer from epilepsy, diabetes and some have no communication skills, to develop some com prehension is a big task. Goals are set up for each person, ranging from basic living skills to work skills. Club President John L. Carter presided at the meet ing and the invocation was given by Jim Paul. Singing Was led by Lankford Godwin. Guests at the meeting were James Holt, Ralph Isner, Tom McQonaJd, and Ear! Adkins of the Sanford Kiwanis Club and Ed enninger, Joe Holbrook, John Tumbefill, and Holt Felmuth of the Lillington Kiwanis Club.

Based on the play by John Van Druten and stories by Christopher tsAerwood, "Ca baret" is an engaging musical and typical cabaret entertain ment one might have seen in - Berlin just before Germany turned to Nazism.
