posed legislative program concerning the financing of public education. The program, which currently is being reviewed by local PTAs, has a section saying that “ways must be found for our state to pay at least 50 per cent of the total cost of operating the public schools.” “We had advocated 100 per cent support and that was not realistic,” Mrs. Hardy said in a discussion here of the new program-in-the-making. “Now we are joining the School Boards Association, the Indiana State Teachers Association and all the rest. We recognize we never could have 100 state support. That was a dream of housewives and mothers at home over coffee cups. But 50 per cent is possible.” Back Junior Colleges The 1967 legislature adopted a budget which was assumed to provide approximately 35 per cent of state support to public education. The ISTA has proposed that the state support amount to 50 per cent, the local to 25 per cent and federal funds make up the remaining 25 per
cent.
The proposed PTA program also barks technical institutes, removal of the office of state superintendent of public instruction from the political ballot, mandatory driver education in high schools, stronger school bus safety legislation, upgraded working conditions for teachers, definitive negotiating procedures between teachers and school officials and state assistance to local public and mental health services for children, among others.

Statue to get new protective gold coating INDIANAPOLIS UPI—Miss Victory, alias Miss Indiana— the statue atop the Indiana Soldiers and Sailors Monument in downtown Indianapolis-will match the golden Statehouse dome, under plans made public this past weekend. Governor Branigin and Budget Director Jack Booher approved a $2,500 expenditure to put a protective gold coating on the statue which would make it about the same color as the Statehouse dome. Other expenditures approved by Branigin and Booher included: —Monroe Reservoir, $41,563 for additional funds to plan a visitors’ center, boat facilities and sewage plants, and for an added lane in the highway entrance to the center. —Potawatomi Inn. $54,000 additional funds for renovation. —State Parks. $3,500 architect and engineering fees for small projects at Mississinewa, Raccoon and Pokagon. —Development of public fishing sites, $50,000. —Indiana State Prison, $12.000 additional for relocation of Death Row, and construction of a storage building and plumbing repairs. —Indiana State Prison, additional $21 to meet lowest bid of $11,928 for riot damage repair. —Indiana Reformatory, $21.875 additional for water supply system bringing the total of *fel3.775. —State Highway Commission, $156,000 for repairs and additional construction of subdistrict headquarters at Vincennes Crawfordsville, Monticello and LaPorU. i
