For boys and girls who don’t
have a suitable home, Boys Har-
bor of La Porte strives to pro-
vide and demonstrate nurturing,
caring and supportive paren-
ting, according to Donald For-
rester, executive director.
Boys Harbor began in 1947 as a
place for children living on the
streets of Houston, Forrester
told members of the Kiwanis
Club of Baytown.
“We are simply a home for
children who, for a multiple of
reasons, need a place to live
away from home,” said For-
rester, who came to Boys Har-
bor about six months ago after
working as an administrator in
child care licencing with the
Texas Department of Human
Services.
Boys Harbor isn’t intended to
provide psychiatric counseling
or to solve emotional problems,
Forrester said.
“Now don’t misunderstand,”
Forrester quickly added, “we
don’t have John Boy Walton at
our facility. And we don’t expect
him. All of the kids that we work
with do have their share of pro-
blems.”
But children at Boys Harbor
aren’t so disturbed that they
can’t be helped and cared for
there, he said. It is not the policy
of Boys Harbor to accept
juvenile delinquents, he added.
Until 1961, former Gov. Ross S.
Sterling’s mansion on Morgan’s
Point housed Boys Harbor, For-
rester said. He said the main
campus moved across the street
to its present site that year after
the governing board determined
children could be managed best
in small groups.
At its main campus, Boys Har-
bor houses eight children in each
of four cottages, Forrester s»id.
Three cottages on an auxiliary
campus each house another
eight children, mostly boys and
girls from the same families.
Most children that come to
Boys Harbor are referred
privately, either by a family ac-
quaintance or a parent, ac-
cording to Forrester.
Reasons for referral include
broken homes, economic dif-
ficulty and refusals by mothers,
and fathers to accept the respon-
sibility of parenting, Forrester
said. For reasons of abuse or
" neglect, a few children are plac-
ed at Boys Harbor by the Texas
Department of Human Services,
he said.
A house-parent couple super-
vises each cottage, Forrester
said. Children-attend La Porte
schools and are encouraged to
participate in school activities.
Also, they must attend church
somewhere in the community
each week.
Boys Harbor has a farm and
ranch program through which
students may raise an animal if
they wi^h, Forrester said.
Through the community, Boys
Harbor tries to provide other
enrichment opportunities so all
children can be successful at
something, he said.
A new Boys Harbor goal is to
have a sponsor family for each
child, Forrester said. Some
children have no parents to go to
and need a sponsor family on
visitation weekends for that
reason, he said.
However, most of the children
who do have a parent or parents
to visit are returning to a
disfunctional family situation
when they visit, Forrester noted.
By exposing all its children to
a healthy family unit and a car-
ing environment, Boys Harbor
helps children of today, as well
as the next generation of
children, Forrester said.

Jetliner crashes, 137 killed
CUCU^TA, Colombia (AP) -
An Avianca jetliner smashed in-
fo a mountain minutes after
takeoff, triggered a landslide
and burst into flames, killing all
137 people aboard* officials and
witnesses said. ,
Among the ,131 passengers
were a Roman Catholic aux-
iliary bishop and more than 30
soccer players, officials said.
There were no Americans'
aboard, they said.
The Boeing 727 clipped trees
before hitting the snow-covered
mountain 50 miles away near
Zulia, witnesses said.
s*¥he craft took off in heavy fog
at 1:16 p.m. Thursday from
Cucuta, 250 miles northeast of
Bogota, on a domestic flight to
the Caribbean port of Barran-
quilla.
Rescue workers who reached
the wreckage Thursday night
said there were no survivors,
Col. Miguel Benedetti, civil
defense director for the state of
North Santander, said in a inter-
view by radio-telephone from
Zulia.
“The impact of the plane
against the mountain was so
violent that it caused a landslide
which buried part of the air-
craft,” said Benedetti.
Super collider funding in jeopardy
DALLAS (AP) — A debate is
shaping in the house over a $363
million funding request for the
lucrative “super collider” pro-
ject Texas is trying to snare.
President Reagan’s request
for the atom-smasher is “out of
the question,” said Sen. J. Ben-
nett Johnston, D-Louisiana, who
chairs both the Senate ap-
propriations subcommittee on
energy and the Senate Energy
Committee.
Congressional aides say the
fight in the House probably will
focus on $100 million of Reagan’s
request that is earmarked for
research and development.
Texas along with six other
states is bidding for the $4.4
billion prbject.
