ERIC and ABE

figure in plan

WASHINGTON < UPI > — If you don’t know about NAPSE, CABEL, ERIC and ABE. you’re not keeping up with education. The initials stand for organizations involved in work relating to the nation’s 24 million educationally disadvantaged adults. For every child entering school for the first time, there art approximately six adults who are deficient in at least one of the three R’s. That’s another way of helping you to visualize how many 24 million are. CABEL stands for Center for Adult Basic Education Learning, a Virginia-based organization working to assure the availability of adult-level educational materials for the 30,000 classes that offer ABE— which stands for Adult Basic Education. ABE courses in elementary Troops like Bob Hope DONG TAM, Vietnam (UPI) — Bob Hope today indicated he is tired of the Vietnam War, but will keep entertaining the troops no matter what happens. “I agree it was important to stop the Communists’ aggression here, but it seems to have dragged on and on,” he said. “I want to do some nice peaceful shows without the sound of artillery in the background.” Hope made the remark in an interview with UPI backstage at this Mekong Delta combat base, as the air vibrated with the roar of helicopter gunships and the thunder of artillery. Hope, visibly exhausted by his tour of the war zone, was not all glum. He said his respect for the morale of the American troops serving in the war had risen. “They somehow seem to be in much better shaope this year,” he said. Hope’s weariness from 15hour days was not reflected in the shows he presented in the country. Most men view him as Vietnam’s answer to Santa Claus and he did not disappoint them. Daily the 65-year-old performer appeared before the troops with an ever-changing routine of topical jokes and a lot of “Hope” and, combat soldiers, their boots still stained with mud and, sometimes, blood sat for up to 18 hours to await his arrival. “Hope is Christmas, one soldier said. “It makes coming to Vietnam seem a little worthwhile.”

reading, writing, arithmetic or English for the foreign-born were given last year to nearly one-half million persons over 18 years. CABEL was created last year under a grant from the U.S. Office of Education <USOE> to test, through classroom use, and evaluate ever-growing supplies of ABE books and programmed learning. CABEL's findings, based on studies of student use of materials, are reported to USOE and the clearing house of the NAPSAE—which stands for National Association for Public School Adult Education. At the clearing house, there is close cooperation with ERIC, “ says the National Education Association in a report. ERIC stands for Education Research Information Clearinghouse. Success of appropriate educational materials, says George Griswold. CABEL’s director, is vital to the success of ABE programs. “If an adult is to learn effectively, if he is to view his return to school with pride and dignity,” he said, “he must work with educational materials which treat him as an adult. Child or middle-class oriented literature only widens the gap between the student and the world he once left behind.” One reason it’s necessary to evaluate materials: Some educational companies have been known to reissue children’s books in adult education covers, Griswold said. CABEL is one of 21 special adult education projects throughout the nation which are funded by the USOE. It is administered by the city of Alexandria and Arlington and Fairfax Counties in Virginia. Other services it provides its adult students: Counselling, job placement, day care, guest lectures on topics ranging from employment to computing income tax returns. See? Industry Responsibility NEW YORK (UPI) — The future of the free enterprise system in the United States depends upon industry’s willingness and ability to provide attractive programs of social reform, said Robert W. Samoff, president of RCA, at the national Urban League’s 12th annual Equal Opportunity Day meeting. “We need to involve every institution and resource that we command—in industry, finance, among civic and social groups and in educational and religious areas — to help provide a constructive alternative to the nihilistic approach of militants on the right and left,” he said, while accepting for RCA an Urban League award for “outstanding contribution” to the goal of equal opportunity for all.

Rep. Morris K. Udall announces candidacy

WASHINGTON (UPI)—Rep. Morris K. Udall, D-Ariz. f announced Thursday his candidacy for speaker of the House. He said he has the greatest respect for Speaker John W. McCorrmack but that new leadership is required. Udall became the first announced challenger of McCormack although a number of dissatisfied younger members have been quietly plotting a revolt against the Veteran Massachusetts Democrat. McCormack is 77 and his age is offered as the main argument against his retention of the powerful House post when the 91st Congress convenes on Jan. 3. McCormack has asked Democrats for their support and aides say he has received more than enough pledges to assure his reelection. The 46.year.old Udall said there are other House Democrats as well qualified as himself, or possibly better qualified, to succeed McCormack. Among them, he mentioned Rep. Carl Albert, DOkla., who is majority leader. But in his announcement letter to all Democratic members, Udall said Albert and others are unwilling to oppose McCormack. For this reason, he said, he will oppose McCormack at the Democratic caucus on Jan. 2, the day before the new Congress opens, and that if he wins he will immediately vacate the nomination and call for another vote. That would enable others, like Albert, to get into the race, Udall said. Tutors Descriue City School RX WASHINGTON ( U P I ) — Something good can happen really fast to city schools in broken-down areas — without constructing a lot of new buildings and holding self-perpetu-ating study meetings. This is what the National Education Association 'NEA> says, reporting that its 1.1 million membership has vowed a battle to improve the urban school and to convert it into a weapon to fight city life problems. The NEA expresses the plans not as dreams for future generations but as a concrete proposals for immediate changes. Some of the proposed changes “which must be effected as soon as possible to prevent violence and further decay of the urban environment,” as the NEA says:

If he were the ultimate choice as speaker, Udall promised a number of House reforms including a five-day work week with every fourth week off to allow members to visit their districts. File formal murder charges By JOHN RIGOS ATHENS (UPI)—The Greek government today filed murder and seven other charges against the two Arab commandos who riddled an Israeli jet airliner with machinegun fire and hand grenades Thursday, killing an Israeli passenger as the 707 prepared to leave for New York. Athens prosecutor Vassilios Papanastassiou filed the charges as the Greek cabinet met to decide whether the two men should be tried by a civil court or a military tribunal. Either court could condemn the men to death if they are convicted. The prosecutor sent the file to District Judge Nickolaos Stylianakis who ordered the two men to appear Saturday and testify at a pre-trial examination. Informed sources said the crown prosecutor of the Athens military tribunal could ask for the file and have the men tried by a military tribunal if the government so decides. The formal charges include murder, attempted homicide, illegal possession of arms, illegal carrying of arms, illegal use of arms, illegal possession of explosives, violation of airplane security and damage to foreign property. The terror attack has already brought the threat of Israel retaliation against Arab nations’ planes. Arab pilots reported undergoing strict security at Athens airport. —Hospital “We want you to understand that with all of this talk about finances, the board has never lost sight of what I feel to be the most important part of the hospital. We always consider the patient’s care first,” Wilson said.

ralph taylor photography 103 E. Washington St. Greencastle. Indiana 46135 Telephone OL 3-5221 New Hours For The New Year With the new year coming we decided to make a resolution to better serve our customers by being open when they want us to be open. Therefore, we have altered our studio hours to add an extra hour in the evening to accomodate those who live outside the city and those who work late in the afternoon. And since people usually show a reluctance to face our cameras in the early morning hours, we will not uncap the lens until 11:00 on Monday through Friday. We won’t be sleeping during this time but finishing the portraits in the darkness of the laboratory. Then in the afternoon we will keep the door open until 6:00 making it more convenient to schedule portrait sittings for late-working individuals and their families. Studio hours on Saturday will be from 9:00 until 1:00. An automatic answering service will handle any incoming telephone calls during the hours we are closed. Again, new hours for the new year—Monday through Friday, 11:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M.— Saturday, 9:00 to 1:00. Yours truly, Ralph Taylor P.S. A very happy and prosperous new year to you.

DEAR HELOISE: Is this the average housewife’s day ? Six o’clock alarm rings. Why can’t we throw it across the room and go back to sleep for another fifteen minutes ? Sit on side of bed a minute while we yawn, listen to husband snoring and wish we hadn't watched the late show. Stumble out of bed and wonder "toothbrush first or coffee pot?” Decide on the coffee pot. Wish to heavens we had washed last night’s dishes. Open back door and let dog out why did we let the children talk us into getting a pet ? Go to bathroom and brush teeth, etc. Nobody ever folds a towel and puts it back on the rack. Bar of soap left in wash bowl, toothpaste tube squeezed the wrong way, top left off and bathtub has two rings around it. Put on housecoat husband still snoring. Dog scratching at back door. Let him in. It’s been raining, so he tracks mud on clean kitchen floor. Remove bacon, eggs, quart of milk from refrigerator. Bang skillet on stove, turn on fire, plug in iron why do men have to have a clean shirt every day ? Pour cup of coffee. Light cigarette. Look at dirty dishes and think about papers strewn all over the house. Dump in load of baby diapers and start machine why can't I train little Johnnie? Go through laundry basket and try to find Big John's drip-dry shirt if it’s really a , drip-dry, why do I have to iron it ? Bacon burning, turn it over wake up snoring husband how can he be so placid ? Back to kitchen for more coffee. Iron shirt . . . Husband comes in kitchen full of vim, vigor and vitality. Wants coffee, orange juice, cigarette and freshly ironed shirt immediately how can he have so much energy this early in the morning? Wake up all three children, change baby’s diapers again, wash faces of other two. Back to the kitchen to fry eggs while the kids dress. Forgot to warm the baby’s bottle . . . foui - beds to change today, that's eight more dirty sheets . . . Set kitchen table, fry eggs,

scrape the burned toast why don’t they all eat scrambled eggs instead of fried? It would be so much faster. Just got the baby’s bottle too hot Husband gives me a smack on the lips and the kids their lunch money, slams the front door on his way out why can't these two oldsters comb their own hair- and brush their teeth without being told to every morning? Alone . . . Pour another cup of coffee, look at dirty eggy plates and light another cigarette. By this time baby is screaming. Change diaper again, give him his bottle and wonder where I left my pills. Strip beds, start another load of laundry, put diapers in dryer. Just hope I get the spots up off the rug today and at least one-third way through the ironing basket. Try to figure out a new way to cook hamburger for supper, whether I can get by with vacuuming the middle of the floors, or- must I do it the hard way? Will I get around to straightening up the kids' closets and toy boxes and to shortening at least one dress? I'm out of toilet paper, coffee and bread, w h i c h means a trip to the store! Ther-e’s my hair to wash, formula to make, the kids’ socks and underwear to bleach, mildew on the tile in the bathroom to remove. And I mustn't forget to defrost the refrigerator so the freezer door will close. I've decided that there is no end and there never will be. so why be so frustrated? The phone rings in-between times and the day is only started. Am I just disorganized or- is this normal ? I wonder where those stars went that were in my eyes on my wedding day ? I look at my college diploma framed and hanging over my washing machine (where else?!, and I would gladly trade it for a maid for just eight hours! Mother * * Gals, this is lire average letter! So now you know you’re not alone. And always remember that I love you and am trying to help in any way I can. Bless you, tleloise
