Carbondale agency pledges care for needy Head Start kids
The Carbondale Economic Opportunity Commission promises medical and dental care for Head Start children with outstanding needs from last summer. Aileen Neely notes some have not yet received treatment and cites cases of 24 cavities and a severe goiter. The commission will seek funds from the summer program to support follow up care as federal funds eligibility is clarified. The group aims to involve Office of Economic Opportunity staff in county programs and plans future discussions on housing for Negro children and partner agency participation.
