The Legislature

The second full week of the 94th General Assembly was marked by short sessions in both houses where the introduction of bills continued. The sessions were followed by various house and senate committee meetings and public hearings on proposed legislation in the afternoon and evening hours. Several bills have passed second and third reading in each house, and the right-to-work repealer is eligible for house passage on January 25. Education from kindergarten through college is receiving considerable attention by the

General Assembly. Senate Bill 31 would amend the tuition support formula (1) to include kindergartens at the rate of one teaching unit for each 50 pupils, (2) to reduce the number of pupils in average daily attendance constituting a unit in the first three gardes from 30 to 25, and (3) to provide tuition support for guidance counselors at the Junior and Senior high school levels based on a ratio of one counselor for each 400 pupils. The above provisions are recommendations of the Education Study Commissioo on Non-Graduating High

School Students, a sub committee of the Legislative Advisory Commission, and are aimed at reducing the number of school dropouts. Senate Bill 114 would create a State Board of Vocational Education to establish 25 area vocational training schools within 6 months of the effective date of the act. Governing boards for each school district could levey a 20 per cent property tax within its district and provide for state support of area vocational schools. The problem of appropriation for expanding higher educational facilities in Indiana is yet to be decided by the General Assembly. The state universities would like to expand their regional campuses and build up fouryear centers over the state. The Indiana State Teacher’s Association advocates starting some system of community junior colleges. Senate Bill 28 would establish a four-year liberal arts college in northern Indiana. How to expand medical school facilities in Indiana is another problem of higher education. At a hearing last Wednesday night legislators heard proposals to add medical school facilities to Ball State at Muncie or to Notre Dame at South Bend.

Homework done before the 1965 session got underway was evidenced by 58 bills introduced in the Senate and House last week. These bills attempt to codify, correlate, simplify, and unify all existing legislation pertaining to cities and towns, eliminating conflicts, repealing unnecessary laws, and proposing necessary new laws. The House Welfare and Social Security Committee held a public hearing Tuesday, January 21, to consider bills which would (1) extend Aid to Dependant Children to those between 16 and 18 if they are in regular school attendance and to those over 18 if they are in regular attendance to complete high school. (HB 1075), (2) permit Welfare Departments to charge medical costs of mother and child or $300 for adoption-whichever is less (HB 1076), (3) provide a maximum grant for a dependent child of $50 a month and a maximum for a parent or guardian of $50 a month ($100 compared with $64 present maximum), plus $23 for a second child, $20 for a third, and $17 for each additional child, exclusive of medical costs (HB 1077). Since the League of Women Voters has recently consensus in support of an increase of ADC grants, Mrs. Claude Thomas, State

Leglslativ« Chairman, favor of HB 1077.

Mr. Albert Kelley, Administrator of the State Department of Public Welfare, in answer to queries about the cost of the increase proposed in HB 1077, referred to a study made in October 1963 which indicated that 65.8% of families receiving ADC had unmet needs. This study finds the proposed increase would reduce the number of families having unmet needs to 24%. It would cost $1,719,000 annually. Of this amount only $300,000 would come from federal funds because we are now close to the maximum federal participation based on the present caseload and maximum ADC grant. Of the balance $851,400 would come from state funds and $567, 600 from county funds, assuming that county standards and cos* of living do not change. Mr. Kelley explained that each award is made on the basis of the need of the individual. The cost of food, fuel, shelter, clothing, etc., is determined and from tftis total is deducted any income or resources that the individual may have. If this balance is greater than the maximum award allowed, however, the award is frmited to

the maximum.

Let’s Talk About Arthritis

Q: What is arthritis? A: Arthritis is an inflammation or disorder that affects the joints of the body. It is technically classified as one of the rheumatic diseases. Q: What causes arthritis? A: There are many different causes. Among the most common are acute infections, i n - jury, allergy 1 wLMg: W a nd metabolic and degenerative disorders. Prolonged exposure to cold, wet climate and severe emoDr. Coleman tional stress have also been suspected as responsible factors in some cases of arthritis. Sometimes arthritis is the result of occupational injuries, like “baseball finger,” or “housemaid’s knee.” The exact cause of arthritis is not always known. Q: Is there only one type of arthritis ? A: There are perhaps 20 or 30 variations of arthritis which are distinguished according to the cause, the changes produced in the joints and the degree of involvement of muscles and tendons. Some of the most common types are osteoarthritis, gout and rheumatoid arthritis. Q: Is arthritis always a chronic and permanent condition? A: No. Often acute attacks of arthritis which accompany infectious diseases or allergies never occur after the first episode. Q: What is the treatment for arthritis? A: Treatment depends on the particular type of arthritis and on the severity of the condition. The relief of pain is one of the prime and immediate objectives. Treatment is designed to halt the progress of the disease in order to prevent physical

New Plan May Solve UN Crisis

he will soon call for election of assembly vice presidents and committee chairmen — possibly as early as Thursday.

Unless there is prior settlement, this will bring the conflict to a head. But diplomats expressed optimism that the new formula would be accept-

able to all and would end the United Nations’ biggest crisis. They said the formula drops all reference to Article 19 of the U. N. charter — the provision that any nation two years in arrears “shall” lose its assembly vote.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. UPI — A new formula to solve the United Nations financial crisis on terms acceptable to the United States and Russia was reported by diplomats today. The report came after eight weeks of deadlock in the United Nations over the issue of Russia’s $60 million debt and the U. S. insistence that U. N. charter provisions be applied to take away the Soviet vote in the General Assembly. U. S. Ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson was expected to reiterate the American position that Russia must pay or lose its vote in his policy speech to the General Assembly today. Stevenson was among the last scheduled speakers in the

handicap and deformity. The discovery of cortisone and ACTH has been a most valuable contribution to the treatment of some kinds of arthritis. Drugs, physical therapy, massage, a program of gentle exercise and special diet are some of the forms of treatment which may be used. The choice of treatment is up to the physician and is designed to meet the particular needs of each individual patient. Q: Is rheumatism a separate, specific medical condition? A: Rheumatism is a general term used to describe all sorts of aches, pains and stiffness in the muscles and joints of the body. It is not a specific illness. Millions of people all over the world have some form of “rheumatism” with varying degrees of deformity and incapacitation. Early diagnosis is a vital factor in the effective treatment of arthritis and other rheumatic diseases. The crippling disease of arthritis saps the economic energy of a nation perhaps more than any other general illness. Unfortunately, the wide diversification in the causes and cures of arthritis exposes the patient to another threat—the threat of exploitation by every conceivable kind of quackery, both inside and outside the limits of the law. Don’t invest your money and your hope in “miracle cures." Before buying any expensive gadget, machine or medicine, consult your physician, your local medical society or a hospital in your community. Protect yourself against the additional pain of disappointment and loss of money. While Dr. Coleman cannot undertake to answer individual letters, he will use reader? questions in his column whenever possible and when they are of general interest. Address your letters to Dr. Coleman in care of this newspaper.
