Tryon Kiwanis Supports Major Emphasis Project Each year, Kiwanis International adopts a major emphasis project theme for clubs to recognize and contribute. Setting a precedent this year’s theme, Young Children: Priority One, will run for three years. Like Terrific Kids, the Tryon club intends to be very active, county- wide, with this extended term project. Young Children: Priority One addresses the needs of children, prenatal through age 5. Statistics show that this age group has serious problems. Each year, thousands of babies are born so small that they have a very poor chance of survival. Those that do survive often have a mental or physical handicap. As many as a third of the children eligible to enter kindergarten are not ready to do so. If present trends are left unchanged, more than 100 million children will die during the 1990s Every day the tragedy of our children worsens. There are solutions to these problems and Kiwanis International’s Young Children: Priority One project wants to assist. There are ways to heln young children. The best way to prevent infant mortality is to ensure adequate prenatal care f t r i£ eg ^ ant women - An early childhood program stressing developmental learning and social growth will help a disadvantaged child succeed in school.
