Literacy program gets grant A $2,000 grant for a senior citizen literacy program in Lamar County was recently awarded to the Ark-Tex Council of Governments from the Texas Department on Aging and the Meadows Foundation. The Lamar County Human Resources Council Inc.

will receive the funds and will work with the Lamar County Literacy Council in implementing the project. In applying for the grant, Mrs. Betty-Kildahl, executive director of the LCHRC said the literacy council does, not have anyone over the age of 60 enrolled in its programs. "This indicates to us that the elderly are hard or impossible to reach at other tutoring sites," she said. "It is our belief that a literacy project at the Senior Centers will definitely work, particularly since this group is already comfortable with these sites." The funds will be split equally between the Good Neighbor's Senior Center and the Sprint I Senior Center in Paris.

Plans are for a one-year project. Students and tutors will be recruited in April, followed by tutor training workshops at Paris Junior College in May. Tutoring sessions at both senior centers will also begin in May. Reading evaluations will be held September through December, with a recognition ceremony at the end of the program year.

Many tribes participate in similar programs and are working hard to assure they will be accurately' counted this time around. "We're stressing the importance of not only claiming Choctaw heritage but to list their households as Choctaw households," said Judy Allen, editor of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma's official newspaper, Bi- shinik. Filling out the census form correctly is considered essential.

She says if tribal members fill out only on the census form, they would be counted in the Mississippi tribe. That pitfall is one of many tribal experts say resulted in American Indians being under counted in the last census. Another was language difficulty.
