Special Education Programs'To Receive Less State Support

The office of the superintendent of public instruction announced today that public schools operating special education programs ’for handicapped children during the 1967-68 school year will receive $8C3,000 less in state support than they received last year. Checks, to be mailed within the next two weeks to Indiana school corporations, will total $3,413,759.38- Schools received $4,175,338.01 last year. The reduction was necessary due to failure of the 1967 General Assembly to appropriate additional funds for the rapidly growing special education programs. Unlike other public school state reimbursements, special education programs for the handicapped are funded from state dedicated sources which tend to fluctuate from year to year. These sources including (1) Interest from the Common School Loan Fund and (2) Revenue from taxes cn alcoclic beverages, were down SBOO,000 from last year. The decrease in state support will likely be felt by some school corporations which are already financially hard-pressed. Actual claims of school corporations for the 1967-68 school year amounted to $7,005,000, $3.5 million dollars more than available. During the past five years, ths costs of special education programs have risen from $2.7 million (38,583 children served) to $7.0 million (50,800 children served). State appropriations have not kept pace with growth, however, having risen only from $2-2 million in 1964 to $3.4 million in 1968. The state superintendent’s office estimates that just 40 per cent of the state’s handicapped children are currently receiving needed special education services and had hcped that sufficient funds to maintain current levels of state support would be available. State superintendent Richard D. Wells has requested a 1969-71 biennial budget of $7, 776,000 and $9,205,000 for the next two years, respectively, which will be needed to provide the state’s full share of state support of local school special education programs for handicapped children. The State Budget Committee, in order to hold the line on state spending, has recommended an appropriation of only $3.6 million during each of the next two years for handicapped children special education programs.

AREA HOLSTEIN COW CREDITED WITH 100,000 POUNDS OUTPUT Holstein - Friesian Association of America has reported a production milestone for a registered Holstein cow from this area. The career producer has been credited with more than 103,000 pounds of milk output under official testing supervision. The owner, Harold Wilson, Milford, has b°en notified that Ulika Prince Ormsby Dora 5309572. has produced 120,260 pounds of milk and 4,947 pounds of butterfat in 2,228 days since becoming two years of age. Because of current replacement heifer rearing and pur-' chase costs, cows that stay in the herd longer and achieve high lifetime production levels have proven to be more profitable. The Holstein Association has nearly 29,700 cows on file that have attained the 50-ton production milestone. Production levels of this magnitude can be attributed to scientific advances in feeding and management practices coupled with the genetic improvement and longevity of registered Holsteins. ‘Mind’ Is Sunday’s Lesson “The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.” This verse is part of the Bible Lesson-Ser-mon titled “Mind”, and will be read in all Christian Science churches this Sunday. One of the selections to be included from the denominational textbook is the following: “Mind is not necessarily dependent upon educational processes. It possesses of itself all beauty and poetry, and the power of expressing them. Spirit, God, is heard when the senses are silent” (Sci- J ence and Heath with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Ed- ‘ dy). Bulk rate on third-class matter must be separated by states and cities and mailed under a permit.

Along Main Street By GEORGIA BUSTER As far as this part of the state is concerned “Mr. Groundhog” did see his shadow, so we can look forward to nice weather about March 8. I have been thinking we need a “Citizens for the Development cf Business in Syracuse.” It seems we are going to lose the only drug store in town and later another business. As far back as I can remember there has been a drug store in uptown Syracuse. Syracuse along with other nearby towns have really co-operated in helping buy the kidney machine for Nancy Hunsberger. The townspeople and organizations have also helped the James Felts family. Their small son, who died recently, had been in the hospital three months and Jim stayed with him part of the time. There is an afghan in the Budget Investment window that has been donated for this cause. For further information see Jean Rogers at Budget. The Lenten services will begin tonight, Ash Wednesday, and will continue in most churches until Easter Sunday. The Lenten services in the Syracuse community are given in this edition. Plan to attend all the services or as many as you can. Thinking of spring and summer, Mr. Howard was in Syracuse recently checking on the city park to make sure it would be available for the boy and girl scouts again in early summer. Last year there were 500 scouts and leaders in the park over a week end. Edwin Cable and David Gall were at Purdue recently to attend the junior crop growers’ jamboree. They are members of Elkhart county 4-H. Mr. Charles of Mr. Charles’ Hair Styling Salon tells us he is getting a new stylist. She’s Jerri Young, the former Jerri White, and a very attractive young lady.
