The speech clinician is helping them with their speech-language problems. Parents of pre-school children in Nevada county have been pleased to learn that many problems in hearing, learning, speech-language, vision areas can be helped before the child enters kindergarten. This is the best time to work on problems in any of -these areas. Research has shown that the time during infancy and the preschool years is a period of: foundation building for all later learning. One in every five children has some difficulty in one of these areas. The fifth annual preschool screening clinic will again be offered for 3-to-4-year-olds living in western Nevada county. It will be held May 7, 8 and 9, 1973 at the Seventh Day Adventist Church on Alta Street in Grass Valley. The Nevada County Schools and the Nevada County Health Department are conducting this screening clinic. Children born between December 2, 1968 and April 30, 1970 may* be seen during the clinic this year. In order to schedule children so that there will be a minimum of waiting, it is necessary for the parent or guardian to make an appointment by calling Mrs: Mitchell in the Nevada County Superintendent of Schools office, 265-2461, ext. 215, April 30 through May 3 between 8:30 and 4:30 p.m. There will be no charge for screening. Answering -the following questions about your child may help you decide to call for an appointment: Does your 3 to 4 year old child: Seem not to hear you when you speak to him? Speak so differently that it is difficult for you to understand him? Shut or cover one eye or tilt his head when looking at common objects? Have frequent earaches or draining ears? Show many hesitations, repetitions or stops and starts when he talks? Have difficulty in recognizing common objects? Bump into or trip over objects frequently? Point or show you instead oftalking? North San Juan Do you know what a ‘“‘Transfer Station” is? Well, a “Transfer Station” is another name for city dump. There is a lovely, restrained, well-bred little green and white sign newly making its chaste appearance along the French Corral road, and it announces: ‘‘Birchville Transfer Station.” Dignity is added to our frequent trips with the garbage cans, as we wend our precarious way between the chuckholes and other hazards to the ‘‘Transfer Station.” And the great care that is being taken to make sure that the entrance drive has a fine, sturdy roadbed is almost enough to take our minds off the condition. of the county highway. The little old Birchville School is going to have a new lease on life, for a short time at least. In order to accommodate a kindergarten, which will add 15 or 20 children to the enrollment in the San Juan Ridge Union school district, the building is going to be repaired and refurbished, and put into use again, until the new school is built. The help of many parents is going to be required, as there isn’t much money available for this purpose. However, the building is in surprisingly good condition after being empty for so many years. It will be good to see children playing and working there once more, if only for a short time. The second annual Spring Fling, a money-making affair concocted by the women’s society of the North San Juan Methodist Church, was its usual success. Offerings for sale included baked goodies, potted plants, a table of variety items. such as aprons, notepaper, etc., and a silent auction of white , elephants. A delicious luncheon was sold at a very~ nominal price. Proceeds from this event will go into thé restoration fund for the old Methodist Church. Reverend Haven Martin, who is shared by the church in Nevada City and the North San Juan church attended and brought along a group from Nevada City. Scotch broom and mothers will be honored May 13, Mother’s Day, when the North San Juan Volunteer Fire Dept. serves its annual Scotch Broom Breakfast, which is a timehonored tradition. A tasty breakfast will be served: and local dignitaries will grace the event as they always have, especially in election years. We have no election this year, but I’m sure we'll enjoy the participation of some anyway. By the way, I do hope Mr. Willie Curran, supervisor for this district, was misquoted in at least some of his remarks “concerning the sewage problem in North San Juan. Granted, the disposal and water systems here are a mess, and something must be done. However, I don’t know of anyone ‘‘living in filth’’ out here. An unfortunate choice of words, to say the least. Historical Society meets on Thursday Isabel Hefelfinger will tell of the trials and tribulations of establishing the Nevada County Cultural Museum, as guest speaker Thursday for the Nevada County Historical Society meeting. Visitors are welcome to attend the 8 p.m. meeting. to be held in Veterans Memorial Hall. Pi se eae et asker ea: ire i geese a a a
