CHAIRMAN LOY STATED THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PROUD OF. <br />OUR COMMUNITY AND WE HAVE'ALWAYS DONE MORE THAN OUR SHARE AS <br />FOLLOWS: <br />Y. WE HAVE THE DESIGNATED RECEIVING CENTER AND REHABILITATION <br />PROGRAM FOR ALCOHOLICS FOR THE FOUR COUNTY AREA: MARTIN, <br />OKEECHOBEE, ST. LUCIE, AND INDIAN RIVER, UNDER THE NEW MEYERS <br />ACT. <br />2. WE HAVE FOR MANY YEARS SUPPORTED THE PIONEER OCCUPATIONAL CENTER <br />IN STUART, FLORIDA, AS THEY HAVE THE FACILITIES AND THE PROGRAMS <br />TO ASSIST OUR HANDICAPPED IN PREPARING FOR A USEFUL AND MEAN- <br />INGFUL LIFE. <br />3. THIS COUNTY HAS AND IS A STRONG SUPPORTER OF PREVENTIVE PROGRAMS. <br />MOST OF THESE ENDEAVORS ARE SUPPORTED HEAVILY BY PRIVATE CONTRI- <br />BUTIONS. <br />IN THE AREA OF DRUG REHABILITATION: <br />A. THE T.I.P. PROGRAM SUPPORTED BY PUBLIC FUNDS THROUGH THE <br />CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. <br />B. THE AMICUS AND SEED PROGRAMS - HEAVILY SUBSCRIBED BY PRIVATE <br />CONTRIBUTIONS. <br />C. THE LITTLE KNOWN - LOGUS PROGRAM FOR REHABILITATION OF FORMER <br />DRUG USERS - ENDORSED BY LOCAL OFFICIALS AND COMPLETELY <br />SUPPORTED BY PRIVATE FUNDS. <br />D. OUR SCHOOLS HAVE PROGRAMS FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL CHILD. THIS <br />IS NOT ONLY FOR THE DISCIPLINE PROBLEM YOUNGSTER, BUT FOR <br />THE HANDICAPPED AS WELL. <br />E. THE NEW INDIAN RIVER YOUTH GUIDANCE PROGRAM. THIS IS PRI- <br />MARILY FINANCED BY THE STATE IN COOPERATION WITH THE COUNTY. <br />THIS PROGRAM WE FEEL WILL PRODUCE THE DESIRED EFFECT OF PRE- <br />VENTION OF A LIFE OF CRIME, AT VERY LITTLE EXPENSE TO THE <br />TAXPAYERS. <br />F. THE SHILOH YOUTH RANCH AND THE LIFE FOR YOUTH RETREAT ARE <br />BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLES OF WHAT INDIAN RIVER COUNTY IS DOING TO <br />TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN AND OTHERS. <br />G. THE CITY OF VERO BEACH RECREATION PROGRAM, THE NEW PUBLIC <br />SUPPORTED Y.M.C.A. BUILDING AND EXPANDING PROGRAM. SMALL <br />BUT EFFECTIVE RECREATION AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN MANY OF <br />OUR CHURCHES. <br />- 12 - <br />JAN 8 1974 <br />PRE <br />�� <br />
