Simple steps save panty hose If you follow some simple steps you can stretch the life of your panty hose and get more for your money. Sara Maness, a consumer expert with Kayser Roth Hosiery offers these tips: Buy panty hose in conjunction with your lifestyle. Ultra sheers are fine if you are going to a party but if you wear panty hose during your ordinary workday, heavier weight hose are more durable. Some panty hose is made with a reinforced toe which lasts longer against toe and shoe abrasion. Snags from jewelry ruin 80 per cent of hosiery. Remove rings and other jewelry before putting on hose. Some women should wear a pair of fitted cotton gloves because of rough skin. Wash hose in a basin and hang them up to dry and not put them in the washer and dryer. Use facial type bar soaps as they as soft and will not ruin colors.

Congressman's Report JOHN HILER

“If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war...We have, in effect, been committing an act of unthinking, unilateral educational disarmament,” said an official statement recently issued by the National Commission on Excellence in Education. Its conclusions were not reached nor articulated without considerable research and deliberation. Secretary of Education Terrel H. Bell created the National Commission on August 26,1981. It was directed to examine the quality of education in the United States and make a report to the nation -which contained practical recommendations for educational improvement. The commission included some of the most respected scholastic leaders in America including A. Bartlett Giametti, president of Yale University: Gerald Holton, professor of the history of science at Harvard University; Glenn T. Seaborg, professor of chemistry and Nobel Laureate from the University of California at Berkley; and some of the leading school board members, secondary teachers and public officials in the nation. "Our society and its educational institutions seem to have lost sight of the basic purposes of schooling, and of the high expectations and disciplined effort needed to attain them,” the commission said. In reaching this startling conclusion, the commission expressed the following “indicators of risk”: 1. Some 23 million American adults are functionally illiterate by the simplest tests of every day reading, writing and comprehension.

The least important was following a strict moral code, 47 per cent; being active in a church or synagogue, 40 per cent; having a nice home, car and other belongings, 39 per cent; having a high income, 37 per cent; having enough leisure time, 36 per cent; and social recognition, 22 per cent. According to a recent Gallup poll, a happy family life is the most important thing to Americans. Most would be happy to pass up an exciting life, an interesting job and material wealth to enjoy more simple pleasures. Os those polled, 82 per cent said they wanted a good family life while only one-third are interested in high income and less than one-quarter long for social recognition.

Five new programs established by the 1983 General Assembly were cited by State Senator John B. Augsburger (R-Syracuse) as helping alleviate the shortage of math and science teachers in Indiana, and speeding the introduction of the computer and high tech equipment into the Hoosier classroom. Senator Augsburger said the new programs include a loan forgiveness program for students interested in becoming math or science teachers, retraining assistance for current teachers wishing to become certified in

2. About 13 per cent of all 17-year-olds in the United States can be considered functionally illiterate. Functional illiteracy among minority youth may run as high as 40 per cent. 3. Average achievement of high school students on most standardized tests is now lower than 26 years ago when Sputnik was launched. 4. Between 1975 and 1980, remedial mathematics courses in public four-year colleges increased by 72 per cent and now constitute one-fourth of all mathematics courses taught in those institutions. 5. The College Board’s Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) demonstrate a virtually unbroken decline from 1963 to 1980. Average verbal scores fell over 50 points and average mathematics scores dropped nearly 40 points. 6. Nearly 40 per cent of 17-year-olds today cannot draw inferences from written material; only one-fifth can write a persuasive essay ; and only one-third can solve a mathematics problem requiring several steps. 7. Over half the population of gifted students do not match their tested ability with comparable achievement in school. The deficiencies, the commission accurately reports, come at a time when demand for highly skilled workers in new “high technology” fields is accelerating. Computers and computer-controlled equipment is penetrating every aspect of our lives. One estimate indicates that by the turn of the cnetury millions of jobs will involve laser technology and robotics. But the commission was not completely pessimistic. “We are confident that America can address this risk. If the tasks we set forth are initiated now and our recommendations are fully realized over the next several years, we can expect reform of our nation’s schools, colleges and universities. This would also reverse the current declining trend —a trend that stems more from weakness of purpose, confusion of vision, under use of talent and lack of leadership, than from conditions beyond our control.” It is clear that our nation s education system is at a crossroads. At every level of our educational system, from the federal government, to state departments of education, to local school boards and to families, we must respond to the challenges that confront the basic fiber of our society. In the next few weeks, I will be discussing the commission’s recommendations and other avenues Congress and various agencies are pursuing to reverse this trend of mediocrity. If you have any questions or comments, please write: Congressman John Hiler, House of Representatives, Washington, D C., 20515.

designated shortage areas, as well as tax credits for companies or individuals donating computer hardware or software to public schools, universities, or vocational institutions. The new programs also include the granting of tax credits to firms who hire math and science teachers in the summer months, and the establishment of an Indiana Consortium for Computer and High Technology Education to stimulate in-school computer training and learning programs. “I have received many inquiries from teachers, individuals and representatives of companies from within our area asking for further details on these various programs,” Augsburger explained. Senator Augsburger said that many of the programs are now in effect, or will go into effect within a few months. “For instance the two programs giving tax credits to firms who donate computer equipment to schools or hire math and science teachers during the summer months, will apply to the current 1983 tax year.” MUSHROOM FARM COMPOST-FERTILIZER Mclntosh Rt. 33, Goshen Open Air Market Warsaw Clayton's North Webster Fashion Farm Ligonier Hursey’s Lawn Service 856-2359, 856-4567

Results of last week’s question: Are you watching more or less television? We watch quite a bit. I’m semi-retired, and my wife is home all the time. Our set is on the largest part of the time, though we might not always be paying attention to it. We’re watching more than we did five or six years ago... More, because there’s more interesting programs on than ever before... Less. I don’t have time... Here at the cottage we’re watching more because we didn’t bring a radio . . Less and less. The shows just keep getting worse . . . Less. We don’t feel like there’s anything worth watching. Too many detective shows and stuff like that... Less. Because there’s more daylight outside, we do family things together .. . About the same .. . More. Since I’ve been out of school I watch during the day ... Hardly ever watch it. Only the news.

Retiring early can shorten life If you want to live longer forget about early retirement. Social Security analysts report that men who retire at 62 do not live as long as those who wait until 65. A 10-year study of non-disabled workers shows that among the later retirees, 85 per cent were alive at age 68, but only 81 per cent of the early retirees lived that long. Just 42 per cent of the early retirees will survive at age 78, while 51 per cent of the older retirees were still alive. Perfect proof A sure-fire way to identify a stolen bicycle even if the serial numbers have been filed off is to write yoqr name, address, telephone number on a file card roll the card around a pencil, remove the bike seatpost and drop the card into the frame. It can be easily removed as proof of ownership.

Eligibility for the Indiana Unified Tax Credit for the Elderly is determined by both age and income. Requirements include having reached the age of 65 by December 31,1982, and an annual income that was: under $2,000 for a single person; under $3,000 for those filing a joint return with on- « ly one person over age 65; or under $4,000 for a couple filing a joint return with both persons over age 65. Under the tax credit, benefits can be substantial. Single persons, or a married couple with only one person having reached the required age limit, could receive a refund check for as much as $65 and not less than $35. A married couple who are both over 65 could get back as much as S9O and not less than SSO. The only other requirement is that qualified persons have to file for this refund by June 30, 1983. “But the necessary forms are very short and simple,” Mishler. said. The Form SC-40 may be obtained by calling Mishler at his office number, 546-2861. Mishler stressed that potential applicants, when computing income for this purpose should not include Social Security benefits, railroad retirement benefits, Veteran’s Administration benefits, or life insurance proceeds. All persons who think they might be eligible are urged to pick up a form and apply. j FELTS CERAMIC TILE I 630 Pittsburg Stmt j Syracuse T • Carol Peanut • | 834-7582 457-2665 I
