?.Of local interest Young Democrats hold meeting The Executive Committee of the North Carolina Young Democrats met this past weekend and called upon the President and Congress to lower the 1968 deficit. TV resolution, which passed unan imously, noted that the Gramm-Rud man-Hollings balanced budget law provides for a deficit of $108 billion in fiscal 1988. Since current figures place overspending in excess of $170 billion, the resolution supported mea sures to lower the deficit and uphold the spirit of the Gramm-Hudma n Holhngs law. In addition to the resolution, the Executive Committee discussed up coming Democratic events. "Our next major event is the Young Demo crats of America Convention in Au gust at Phoenix," said state Presi dent Jim Gallaher. "North Carolina has a large delegation beading west and should be well-represented. " Anyone with an interest in the North Carolina Young Democrats should contact the State Democratic Headquarters at P.O. Box 13196, Ra leigh, N.C. 27006.

Preparing your child for kindergarten Going to school for the first time is one of the most important milestones in a child's life. The child is entering a period wherein he or she becomes more indepentent of parents and be gins the process of formal learning. Many parents may fear the first day of school as much as their chil dren. To make this event a happy one, the parent should present a posi tive attitude about school for the child. Many children are afraid of permanent desertion upon being left at school by their parents. Let your children know that you are not leav ing them forever, but that after each school day, your child will return home. Be supportive of your new kinder gardener. Until now, your child has Jseen living in familiar surroundings. Now he or she is going to be facing strange adults and a new environ ment . ; Your child may also be experenc ing the group situation for the first Jime. It is not unusual for a younger child to be tearful or sad during the hrst few days, but do emphasize the positive aspects of school to make the transition less stressful. To ready your child for kindergar den, a regular schedule will be very helpful. Enforce consistent bedtimes and daily schedules. Your child needs to be accustomed to regular eating times and rest times, as this will be the case at school. Find out as much about the new school as possible. Know school and bus schedules, lunch prices, and gen eral school policies. A good idea to reduce the anxiety of the first day at school is to take your child to the school ahead of time. Find his or her classroom and possibly meet the tea cher. If possible, find out which of your child's friends will share the same classes. These methods will all help to make the new school less of a strange and intimidating place. Parents may need to go shopping to prepare children for school. Among the items that an elementary student might need are: a lunchbox, pencils, paper, book bag, proper clothing (raincoat, umbrella, etc.), and a mat for naps. Some parents choose to put their child's name on coats, sweat ers, lunch boxes, etc. Make sure your child has the proper immunizations and health check-upe before school begins. Let the teacher know of any special phys ical needs or handicaps so that proper care can be taken at school. The name "kindergarden" is de rived from the German language meaning "a garden of children", a place where children may grow natu rally in a child's world. Many times kindergarden is a child's first intro duction to formal schooling. While there will be a structured learning program, kindergarden will still allow for "child's play" and chil dren will be encouraged to develop their own individual potentials. Chil dren's learning will be nurtured and enriched in kindergarden. The kin dergarden program is designed to serve as a foundation for meaningful learning experiences which will make formal learning more effec tive. Perquimans area obituaries JOHN W.
