sorium units should visit the American Indian and invite Indians 

 to serve on the nomad teams. 



Finally a word of caution a sensorium is not a preprogramed 

 audio-visual tour de force. It is a lively and spontaneous perform-

 and the nomads. 



Mrs. VICTOR STONE. Use Project Head Start this summer and 

 thereafter to introduce hundreds of thousands of preschool 4- and 5- 

 year-olds to beauty through the materials and field trips their teachers 

 provide. Mr. Shriver's office should be asked to give guidelines 

 consistent with the substance of beautification-conservation ideas to 

 all communities engaging in Head Start programs this summer. My 

 own community : Champaign and Urbana, 111., will have Head Start 

 projects in the school systems this year and I think they would

ROBERT L. WALN. The proposal is to establish a permanent na-

 slides and movies, and demonstration plots ... by the various 

 organizations and agencies participating. 



Part 2. Office space for a representative of the various organiza- 

 tion groups such as the roadside councils, the horticultural societies, 

 the garden clubs, the conservation and recreation societies, and the 

 interested government and commercial agencies. Such representa- 

 tives would assist in coordinating the activities among the members 

 of their group and act in a liaison capacity between them and other 

 groups. Centering would make possible economic sharing of meet- 

 ing rooms, projection, printing, publishing, and other facilities. 



Part 3. The Center could become the location of an agency for 

 licensing, determining curriculum, giving examinations, and issuing 

 diplomas, to small schools of horticulture operated by the botanical
