ECKAN will increase services
The East Central Kansas Community Action Program (ECKAN) plans to increase its services to Douglas County residents during the upcoming year.
The Douglas County Planning Commission, ECKAN's governing body, voted to add six programs, which wouldadd the county's poor and undereducated.
Emergency transportation, child care,
released prisoner rehabilitation, financial
counseling and monitoring of counseled
people are listed as new priorities for
next year.
The committee also voted to give financial support to the Emergency Services service, which provides short-term services to people in need of transportation, baby sitters or counseling.
CURRENT PROGRAMS, which are housing and home repair, some counseling services and adult education, will be retained.
Two committee members, Delta Hamilton, who represents low-income residents, and Emily Camin, who represents the League of Women Voters, said transportation was the most urgent need in Douglas County.
Camin said crimes such as emergency needs for food or medicine when exposed to a drug.
Johnson said transportation problems were not limited to the elderly. She said many young mothers were on welfare because they had no way to get to work.
The Rev. Arden G. Dorn, ESC coordinator and committee member, said part of the problem was that many people didn't know KLAN is a school for free drivers; education classes.
HE SAID OTHER classes, such as ones that would teach people how to open checking accounts, get bank loans and could be part of the counseling program.
Doug Tillman, ECKAN executive
director, asked the committee to list its priorities so that budgets could be prepared by the ECKAN Multi-County Board. The board is composed of representatives from Douglas, Franklin, Lyon, Osage, Coffey and Miami counties.
Tillman said the number of priorities wouldn't necessarily influence allocations to Douglas County. However, he said the priorities were needed to give the multi-county board an idea of the financial needs of all ECKAN programs.
DORN SAID ECKAN shouldn't duplicate
the information sponsored by other service
organizations.
I. J. Stoneback, Douglas County commission and member of the committee said, however, that ECKAN needed to inquire about funding to assure adequate federal funding.
Tillman said funding for ECKAN programs comes from the Community Services Administration, the Kansas Department of Social Services division of the State Labor Department, the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, the State Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services, and community development and revenue sharing.
that "Operation Winterize," a program to install storm windows, caulking and insulation in the homes of low-income people, wasn't progressing on schedule.
Lawrence Austin Sr., a committee members who represents Edgewood will be very disappointed in future programs if we call this a winterization program, which should be done in the spring, comes around to do it when its 110 degrees.
The committee unanimously supported current projects and especially supported tsa 500,000 community development housing and 3s-member adult education class.
Greg Stock, ECKAN director in Douglas County, said there was difficulty getting materials because the single ECKAN truck hadn't been working for the past two weeks.
LACK OF TRANSPORTATION, be said,
has made it impossible to get to Ottawa
where many of the wintzerization materials
are stored.
Tillman said ECKAN might purchase two 1964 model cars from government surplus property at Ft. Riley to help solve the problem.
Giele also said that no plans had been made to put lights outside the Union this year.

Decorations give campus holiday mood
Ousaidh said that there won't be a lot of lights this year because of energy conservation, which will limit lights on places such as Hoch Auditorium and Danforth University. However, there will be a few additional lights on the chapel and minimal lights on Hoch.
SEVERAL MEMBERS SAID, however,
Both Stock and Tillman said they recognized the urgency of winterization and hoped to speed up the program during the next few weeks.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
it's around the University of Kansas as
buildings and grounds personnel complete
erection of traditional display on campus.
The tree will be cut sometime over the weekend from the west campus, as it was last year. Oudahl said. Workers will then plant new trees to balance it and decorate it from scaffolds.
