Providence. R.I.. is volunteering her efforts as a VISTA volunteer in coping with another segment of Americas forgotten poor: Migratory farmworkers. In many parts of our Nation. these migrant farmers need to know the opportunities that exist in our society so they may better raise their children. obtain decent housing. sanitation. and improve the quality of their lives. Miss Missunas works in southern Florida. in the migrant "stream." She assists migrant workers and their families in the improvement of their living conditions. education of their children. and helping the migrant women to budget their meager incomes and practice the skills of effective homemaking. As another example of how VISTA volunteers are serving our country. I would like to tell the Senate about Joseph Salisbury. a young man from Pawtucket. R.I.. who joined VISTA in 1965. Joe Salisbury worked among migrant farm laborers in Gilroy. Calif. He set up a study hall for the youngsters in the camps. conducting English classes for preschool children.
