From left to right are shown Tom G., Edward Brodie, Bill Elder and Gail Hutchinson. The ADP House is a support program for adults with emotional and mental problems. Local People Visit ADP House Members and staff of the Adult Day Program (ADP) House recently visited New York for a tour of the city after raising $2,500 to sponsor the trip, according to a report from the program staff. The ADP House is a community support program for adults with chronic emotional and mental problems. It serves Vance, Granville, Warren and Franklin counties. The purpose of the trip was to see New York and visit a similar community support center located there. Called the Fountain House, the New York center serves more than 400 members daily. The local support group is modeled after the Fountain House. Another reason for the trip, a spokesman said, was to demonstrate that members could work cooperatively to raise the money needed to finance the expedition. In addition to contributions, the members each gave $37.50 for the trip, raising the total amount to more than $3,800 for the entire project. The group left the local area on a chartered bus they boarded in Littleton and stayed at a Holiday Inn in New York. Among the city attractions seen by the group were St. Patrick's Cathedral, Central Park, Grand Central Station, Empire State Building, World Trade Center, Statue of Liberty, Tiffany's and Saks Fifth Avenue, the Citicorp shopping complex, Harlem, Broadway and Times Square, and Radio City Music Hall. At Radio City Music Hall the group saw a performance of "Encore," a live play including the famous "Rocketts" that depicted 50 years of success in the theater. The ADP members and staff stayed in New York three days. Special Reading Hour The Community Center Library on Franklin Street will have a special reading hour each Tuesday from July 6 through August 10. The reading period will last from 10 a. m. until noon. Children ages kindergar ten and above are invited to come into the library during this period and read. Volunteers will assist Mrs. Burnette in guiding the children as they select and check out books. Story hour, games and other activities will be carried out. Adults are invited to attend. Paid Political Advartiftamant VOTE L. D. C.S.C. Loyd I . Dickens r ?uPerior Court Halifax Co. Paid By Oickana Campaign Commit!** Warren Plaza Notes By MARTHA PAGE We had a very lovely Father's Day and had lots of visitors in the late after noon. Many of our fathers went home for the day or at least out to eat. Of course, there were some who sat and waited all day and no one came. One man in particular had told me that he was looking for his daughter, whom he hadn't seen since before Christ mas. He was very disappointed and let down, and made the comment as I was leaving to go home that he guessed they had forgotten him. He is 78 years old and doesn't get around very well anymore and is one of the nicest and most pleasant men here. It makes me very sad to see him disappointed, and even reassurance from me that we love him doesn't take the place of family that he has raised and cared for. Living in a rest home isn't the worst thing in the world that can happen when you're old and need someone to help take care of you, but family members need to let the residents know that they are still loved, and in fact, haven't been forgotten. Loneliness is the worst illness of a lot of old folks. Some of our workshops have taught us that more old people die from loneli ness than from true illnesses. Elderly people need to be kept active and alert as long as possible, but if they are put into homes and then completely forgotten, they have nothing left to live for. We try to keep them as active aa we can by involving them in activities and trip: here, but that doesn't take the place of a loving family member. I think our aide: do a very fine job with the people here by providing some of the attention they miss from their owr families. The Missionary Circle from the Jerusalem Methodist Church came out Saturday afternoon and presented a short devotional and served refreshments to our residents. Everyone enjoyed them very much, and we invited them to come back anytime they can. We are still receiving aprons from you ladies out there, and they have been a joy to the ladies here. Mrs. Dora Davis, who used to be our cook, came over last week and brought some very pretty ones. We appreciate everyone who took the time to make and decorate them for us. I can't remember anything that has been any more enjoyed than these aprons, and they certainly are being worn. We have two people in the hospital this week. Francis Green, who I am sure a lot of you in the Warrenton area know, is at Warren General and so is Matthew Bullock, also from Warrenton. I am sure both of them would appre ciate a card. We would like to extend our sincere sympathy to the family of Richard Hargrove. His daughter, Ida Downey, worked for us here at Warren Plaza. Till next week, God bless. PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT VOTE FOR T. W. (Tom) ELLIS N. C. HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES 22nd. HOUSE DISTRICT Warren, Vance, Granville, Person, Halifax A Caswell Counties DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. JUNE 29. 1*2 Your Volt and Support Will BeCrtally Appreciated £3 T. W. (TOM) ELLIS. JR. PAID POLITICAL ADV ERTISEMENT MRS. ANN W. FRAZIER 6th SENATORIAL DISTRICT The people of Helifex, Edgecombe and Warren Counties will have a clear choice in the Democratic Primary on June 29th. The clear choice is between two candidates offering completely different credentiels and philosophies. ^ As the challenger to the incumbent, I shall bring a fresh start and a new insight to the wishes of the people of this District. * I am without obligation to special interest groups and my objective is to serve all the people. * I offer fresh hope to the average person and I have no ties to the political power structure that has dominated this District for decades. * I am free of self-serving motives because I am not a profes sional person who stands to benefit from legal fees resulting from a favorable vote in the Senate. * I have no intentions of asking the voters of this District to increase the terms of office to four years because I believe in giving the voters the right to defeat an officeholder who is not accountable or responsible to his or her constituency. * I know the meaning of sacrifice and I know the drudgeries of the wage earner. I also know what it is to borrow money and pay exorbitantly high rates of interest. * I am familiar with and I understand the problems of our young people. I can relate to the young family with growing children. I know the problems of today — not yesterday. * Past times are not the present times. The time to decide is now. It's time to free ourselves from the political power brokers. June 29th represents a critical day in the lives of the people of the 6th District and I want to be a part of what could become an exciting future — but that future depends upon your vote on the 29th. * I want to serve you, the people — and, I am free to serve — without any strings whatsoever.
