In the eastern part of
Columbia, where Taylor
Street meets Forest Drive,
tne uonzaies Gardens
projects stand as a grim
reminder that not all people
are living in a state of
comfort and affluence.
The clean sheets and
laundry are swayed by the
Feb. 20 early morning
breeze and while most of the
project residents have
already risen, few people
wander around under the
dawn of a clear blue sky. One
of them, a middle-aged black
woman, jabbers aimlessly to
herself as she strolls towards
Forest Drive.
For the parents that work,
their kids are cared for at
Gonzales Gardens Child
Development Day Care
Center, a Richland County
Day Care Project. Many of
the 256 children who are
taught all over Columbia
come from broken homes,
are dirt poor and some are
victims of child abuse.
ON FEB. 20, 88 children
aged 10 months to five years
old filed out of six
classrooms and sat in tiny
chairs, ready to listen to
musical instruments with
names most of them didn't
know how to pronounce.
The USC music department
consented to have
Kelly Tucker on the flute and
Eric Schweickert on the tuba
perform for the kids. Five
other music students played
at Hendley Homes, Saxon
Homes and Broad River
Terrace during the latter
part of February.
Despite their short attention
spans, the children
seemed delighted to hear the
instruments and Kelly

Tucker brought books
containing pictures of
violins, trumpets and
trombones. Schweickert
played "London Bridge is
Fallin Down," on the tuba,
striking a recognizable
chord within the kids.
At the end of the fourtyminute
recital, two small
children, holding hands,

USC musicians and softly
said, "Y'all come back."
ON SUNDAY, the
supervisor of the Richland
County Day Care project,
Arnold Shayne, opened his
newspaper and read
something which upset him.
It had to do with President
Reagan's proposed budget
cut and in particular, the
funding curtailment of Title
20 which is responsible for
day care projects.
The article stated, "Title
20: A 25 percent cut in
funding is anticipated. The

Mr. Shayne put the paper
down and was immediately
angry. He says he has done
research that proves that the
Richland County Day Care
Project is one of the best in
South Carolina.
"We have an excellent
child development program
with the best possible
curriculum, best possible
program and parent involvement,"
Mr. Shayne
said Sunday, trying to
resolve the possible impact
of the funding cut on his day
care center. "It is a family

Arnold Shayne says he is
not running a baby-sitting
agency. He wants to give
those at his centers the lx^'
in day care. One day, a few
weeks ago, he had clothes
donated to a child who only
had one outfit to wear at the
center each day.
"It's unbelievable," Mr.
Shayne responded to what he
read Sunday. "For us it
means cutting and that's
what they're trying to do.
It's very difficult and I think I
cuts are something that all |
agencies win nave 10 live
with at sometime although I
don't particulary care to live
with it."
