Ci. T T. Awarded
$1 .600 Per Year
President Luther R. Medlin
of Guilford Technical Institute
announced today that the Board
of Directors of the Sigmund
Sternberger Foundation has au
thorized an award to Guilford
Technical Institute in the total
amount of $1,600 per academic
year for the funding of Sigmund
Sternberger Scholarships. These
scholarships are for Guilford
County residents attending Guil
ford Technical Institute and en
rolled in the nursing program
there.
In advising Dr. Medlin of the
scholarships, Mrs. Leah L. Tan
nenbaum, Chairman of the
Board of Directors of the Sig
mund Sternberger Foundation
specified that these funds are
to be awarded to students, on
the basis of need, who are en
rolled In the nursing program.
She further specified that the |
funds be awarded to two or |
more individuals for each aca-1
demic year in such amounts as
the appropriate committee of the
Institute might determine.
In announcing the receipt of
this award to the Board of Trus- 1
tees at Guilford Technical In- !
stltute, Dr. Medlin reminded
them that this is just another
indication of the support the
Foundation is giving to the
school. It was, he told the group,
the Sigmund Sternberger Foun
dation that bore the entire cost
of the Second Annual Workshop
in Counseling held at GTI dur
ing the summer of 1969. That
grant of approximately $17,000
provided funds to bring to the
GTI campus a highly qualified
director and twenty-five school
counselors from Guilford Coun
ty.

Be A Smart Santa Claus
Have you ever thought about
why toys are important? We
know they are important be
cause it gives grownups pleasure
to give toys to little children, I
says Mrs. Rosa Winchester,
Home Economics Extension
Agent for Guilford County.
Toys are an important busi
ness in our economy.
But most important of all,
tcys and play equipment help
children to grow up. How does
it work? Toys are a necessary
part of play; we need something
to play with.
1. Children play because it is
fun, just for sheer pleasure.
Playing with toys helps children
to grow physically. When they
push heavy blocks and pull
loaded wagons, they are stren
gthening those big muscles in
their arms and legs and back.
Playing with manipulative toys,
like puzzles, peg boards, and
things like that help children to
develop the finer smaller mus
cles. We say they improve in
dexterity. They are also learn
ing how to reason, usp judgment,
and be creative.
Toys help to stretch the imag
ination. They can act out things
they dream up, or ways they
feel.
Sometimes they need to act
out things that scare them, like
going to the doctor's office. Or
they may need to act out things
they don't understand. It may
be something that made them
mad, you see children spanking
their baby dolls. Or living again
a pleasant experience, like eat
ing in a restaurant. They'll have
a tea party complete with a
waitress. When two people play
with a toy together, they are
learning something about social
relationships. It may be learning
to share, or that I can play with
the car when you finish. And
is so much more fun to play
house whei. you have a mommy
and a daddy and a little boy
besides. You remember from
experience that children have
the urge to explore, an insatable
curiosity. Toys are a good way
to help them in their pursuits.
Many hobbies and interests that
we have in later life began In
our childhood with toys.
In their play children learn
the taste of success and achieve
ment. Can you remember how
proud you were when you final- 1
ly put the puzzle together? Or
when you had laid out a com- 1
plete floor plan with sticks and
branches, and you even made a
brick seat for your guesta?
