In his message, Judge Johnson challenged the Changes In Head Start Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm (D-N.Y. > last week urged the members of the House Subcommittee on Human Resources to “carefully evaluate" changes in the Head Start Program proposed by the Reagan Administration. She warned that "Many of these changes would be detrimental to the children and families served by kearly childhood pro "^frams.” She cautioned “against treating these ad ministrative changes . lightly."... In her prepared testi mony, she reminded the Subcommittee that “I was an early childhood develop ment specialist before en tering politics, so these programs are of special interest to me." She con tinued, “While the Head Start program has re ceived substantial budget , ary support, in comparison to other social programs, we see some disturbing trends in the proposed ad ministrative changes..." “The conversion of pa rent and child centers (PCC’s) to regular Head Start programs," she ex plained, “would virtually eliminate comprehensive developmental services for pregnant women and fa milies with, children three years of age and under. -Research indicates that important developmental patterns are identifiable in children as early as age two. By age three, these patterns, which are too frequently negative with low-income children, are International Women's Day T>iebi*dlk>n Continued from Page I peace, Justice and equality. -“This year we havc„ chosen ‘peace’ as the most •% important issue facing * women around the world." said Sarah Wilson, chair of this year's celebration.

It would be totally disruptive for the communities and the children served by such programs to limit infant and toddler participation based upon the availability of outside financial resources..." The Congresswoman also questioned the need for alterations in the program at this time. “Head Start has had an impressive hi story. In some areas of the country, Head Start was the catalyst for social change at a time when op pression oT'fhe poor, the”" black, and the minority fa mily was a rule. Head Start provided poor parents and children with a forum for learning together for the first time. Head Start helped poor parents under stand new ways of having an effect on their children's education. Underprivi leged children who had participated in the pre school Headstart program have been shown to do better in school than those who had not had the ad vantage of Head Start. With such an impressive record, one must legit imately ask why tinker with Head Start I would hope that the proposed changes are not planting the seeds for a gradual phase-out of the program over the next three vears." “The President's com mitment not to cut Project Head Start," Mrs. Chis holm concluded, “must also include a commitment to maintaining the pro gram in a fashion which insures a quality program. Bad administration can be just as harmful to a pro gram as reductions In funding. I believe that this commitment ean best be honored by maximum ap propriation for Head Start. »<ot through ‘administra tive ad ventures'." youth to recognize and take * an active part in black hi story. ' Early pioneers put a foot in the door to help bring us this far Black people have come a long way and yet we still have a long way to go. We owe so much to the combined ef forts of our ancestors. W’e need to stand up and be heard and be counted," said Judge Johnson He turtner stated tnat, "if-all men were truly bro thers then we would realize that we are all created by one universal father and He has endowed us with the same faculties. We must unite, work together and implement a program to successfully meet the pre sent crisis. Our forefathers _struggled hard and we should not let their work go in vain.
