“Playboy of the Western Wor

best-knewn play. The subject of
the play is the wild joy and love
that make up the Irish spirit.
Riots in Dublin first greeted
Sjnge’s frank portrait of the
Irish people. His language is the

es about.
o*u u,e advice of his good
friend, the great lyric poet
Yoats, Synge went in 1901 to
live in the savage Aram Islands
off the coast of Ireland. “Play
boy” is the product of the time
he spent there among the fish
ermen and traders.

THE YANCEY RECORD
Headstart Program Underway
In County
By: Shirley Anne McAllister
I. P. D. (W.A.MY.)
Although the Headstart Pro
graijQ is esentially the same as
last'year, it has proved to be a
big success. Parents and teach
ers give the program much
praise and feel it is very valu
able. One parent had this to
say, “It’s doing wonderful
things fer my boys."
A first grade teacher who has
been in the program for three
years says, “This is a good ad
justment period for the child
ren. Children who attend Head
start begin reading three or four
months earlier than these who
do not attend. Those who hav
en’t attended can always be
picked out from the others.”
There a?S 145 children and 54
working personnel in Headstart
at the following schools: Bald
Creek, Bee Log, Burnsville,
Clearmcnt, Micaville, Pensa
cola, and South Toe. As you will
note from the number enrolled,
there should be a larger num
ber attending. However, the
Office cf Ecrnomic Opportunity
had to set up guidelines, limit
ing the number of children to
attend and giving priority to
families with the lowest income.
Even all these were unable to
attend. We wirii it were possible
for every child in the county to
be able to go.
If you feel the Headstart Pro
gram is valuable and that it
should be for all children, here’s
something you can do. Drop
