CAMPAIGN FOR
CHILD FUND
To Raise Funds for Mentally
Retarded Children In
This Area
CLASS IN CLAYTON

Mrs. Marshall Crossley, of Clay
ton, president of the Mid-Del AS
sociation for Retarded Children,
announced recently that Mrs.
James Fleming of Smyrna and
Mrs. Amos Mast of Clayton will
act as local chairmen of the 1857
campaign to raise funds for men,
tally retarded children. The Mid
Del group is chapter of the
Delaware Association for Retard-
ed Children (DARC), which is a
statewide organization to help
the retarded. The Mid-Del Asso-
citation for Retarded Children, in
cooperation with DARC, was re-
sponsible for starting a class for
trainable retarded children in
Clayton last winter. This class,
now operated by the Clayton pub
lie schools, serves retarded child
rem from Clayton, Smyrna, Mid
dletown and nearby communities,
Among the chief duties of Mrs.
Fleming and Mrs. Mast will be
the organization of women in
their respective communities to
canvass homes during the state
wide Thanksgiving March for Re-
tarded Children to be held from
two to four o'clock on Sunday
afternoon, November "a. The
amount of money which DARC
needs to operate through Decem-
ber, 1858, is $42, 200. Since S16,-
600, representing the proceeds OF
the 1857 All-Star Football game
was recently turned over to
DARC, the goal of the fund
raising campaign is $26,200. Mr.
Phillips, state president, stated
that the total budget for the pre-
sent year is approximately one
half of last years budget. This
is possible because the public
schools and the trustees of the
Hospital for the Mentally Retard-
ed now operate schools and day
care centers for children below
so 10. In the past; schools and
centers of this type were operated
by DARC. DARC's aim is to fill
all needs of the retarded which
are not being met by state agen
cies. Highlights of the present
program include the following
1. Research: A. Medical Research
To learn how to prevent children
from being born mentally retard
ed and to alleviate the condition
of those already retarded if pos
sible. B. Educational Research
