OTOE-WIC Program
WIC is a federally-funded pre-
ventive program which provides
nutrition education, supplvmlmlal
foods and helps improve access to
medical care for low-income nu-
tritionally at-risk pregnant n,
new mothers, infants and children
up to age five.
It is particularly important to
recognize the value of the WIC
Program for helping low-income
families. Among some of the
positive benefits are:
WIC significantly improves chil-
dren's diets.
WIC improves the growth of at-
risk infants and children.
Children eligible for WIC are
more likely to have regular check-
ups and are hettef irnrmmiTtL
Participants are referred to other

Introduction of the new area
codes also means the way certain
long distance calls arc dialed within
Southwestern Bell territory will
have to change. All long-distance
calls will require l 1-digit dialing
(1 + or O+ the number) will no
longer be possible.
Because of the new long-distance
dialing, some office phone equip-
ment may also need to be repro-
gramn to allow dialing of the
"home" area code when placing a
1 + or O+ call: some equipment
may block that option now.
"In most cases, the change does
not affect how our customers male
local calls, and, it won't affect rates
at all," said Brown.
Brown said Southwestern Bell
is phasing in the new dialing
through a monthly food psckap
tailored to meet the spial dietary
needs of the program's participants.
The method for provided the WIC
supplemmtal foods is through a
local grocery store who has a
contract with the Otoe-Missouria
Tribe. The participant receives
vouchers they can redeem f
specific foods at this store.
