OREGON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1963 Music in Schools Offers Youngsters Chance To Bv DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist Music offers youngsters an outlet to explore and devolop the sensitive and cultural parts of their growing per sonalities. It contributes to pleasure as they sing, listen, and master skills. The relating of music to students' daily activities not only creates a framework for the cultural development but adds greater understanding to their other studies. Just as a classroom teacher encourages in children an awareness of surroundings, the music FSqCOMET SPORTSTER PAGES 1 to 10 Develop teacher develops an aware ness of sound patterns. Variety of Activities A music program should in 'olvc a variety of activitirs Although singing is closely associated with a music pro gram, there is no necessity for children to consider thrir voices as the only means for musical expression. There may be some individuals who simply do not like to sine. In such' cases, pressure may be unpleasant. The best approach is exposure to a wide varielv of experiences so that annro. ciation has the opportunity to grow. Most school systems have an oreanized miisir- nrn. gram. Many schools are for tunate in Having a music specialist to direct the activi ties. Some music is taught for the sake of music itself. This refers to such activities playing instruments, reading musical notes, studying var ious musical forms, choral singing, etc. Musical know- ledge and appreciation are the main values and purposes of these activities. Let's look at a third grade group approaching music through the study of plastic flutes. In order to use the instruments, they learned how to read notes. This meth od turned out to be a more effective way to play the in struments than depending on llicir ears and fingering num bers. After a few weeks, the children were able to read music. The results were ex cellent. The group enjoyed the activity, learned specific skills, and developed a desire for further activities. On the other hand, music is often used to supplement the other subject areas. In these situations, the major purpose is to develop greater understanding in these other subjects. Also important is the appreciation of music as a part of all activities. Valuable Impression An example of this ap proach is the sixth grade group which prepared a play concerning the library. The music teacher composed orig inal songs for the presenta tion. The script was given life. This was an experience which left a valuable impres sion on the students. The mu sic served to improve the stu dent's learning of the aca demic subject. The aim of a good music program in the public schools is not necessarily to develop opera stars. It should encour age the development of talent where it exists. It should also encourage in all individuals the ability to enjoy the pleas ures available through music. Parents should follow through on the school pro gram. Children who are ex posed to musical experience which they enjoy and under stand will probably continue to have similar satisfaction as adults. The choice of ex periences must be appropriate for the particular child.

Legislature Launches Second Month Still Undecided on Major Matters Salem-il'Pli-The 1963 Ore gon legislature embarked on its second month Thursday with sentiment still fluid on major budget, tax and consti tutional issues. The lawmakers convend Jan. 14 amid ceremony and the challenges of combing through a record S405 million general fund budget, raising new revenues to keep services at the old level, and revising a century-old constitution. In one month's time, com mittees have begun to delve deeply into some 101) agency budgets, more than half a dozen major and contradic tory tax proposals, and the proposed constitution that took two years to write. The answers have not yet emerged. Only Ont Law The only measure to be come law so far is the legis lative pay bill, raising law makers' salaries from $600 a year to $3,000 a year plus $20 a day in expenses for the first 120 days of a session. The greatest interest and emotion so far centered on the unexpected: A Sunday semi- blue law to close most busi nesses "to save a day for the family." It provoked a flood of mail, strongly against the idea. It was still a toss-up how Gov. Mark Hatfield would fare with his program. Team work between the Republican governor and the Democratic legislature started out more smoothly than usual in the face of a common revenue problem. The session was grinding on at a steady but unexciting pace. Senate President Ben Musa said he was hopeful it would stay under 150 days, but said it would probably be longer than the 100 days sug gested earlier by House Speaker Clarence Barton. Rundown Given Here is how major business was shaping up: Budget - The Ways and Means committee was carving away at smaller agency bud gets for some minor savings, while hearings continued on the big requests like higher education. Chances were the legislature would make some subtractions, add some new programs, and leave the final budget not far from Hatfield's $405 million proposal. Taxe-The House Tax com mittee was struggling with proposals for sales taxes, new income tax laws, and a cig arette tax. Sentiments clash ed, but appeared likely to settle in the end on a broad er income tax base, without radical new features, plus a cigarette tax. Numerous lax bills of lesser impact were being studied. Tax Election - There was feeling the legislature should not send a tax program to the people, but proposals were being considered to speed up a tax election if the people themselves refer tax meas ures. Constitution - The legisla Commission for Blind Elects New Chairman Salem - Walter Lofgrcn of Astoria was elected chairman of the Oregon Slate Commis sion for the Blind at its last regular meeting. Lofgren has been on the commission for three years. The commission also elect ed Thurman G. Mcrkley as vice chairman, and Fred Kre- pcla of Salem as secretary. Mcrkley is vice president of J Western Wood Manufactur- i ing company. HOW COME Fluhrer's Holsum BREAD NOW TASTES BETTER THAN EVER? BECAUSE PREMIUM QUALITY HOLSUM Is 4 Hours , Fresher! Pa ture was lukewarm about ap proving a new constitution and sending it to the people, and its outcome this session was uncertain. Education - Education from first grade through college was the subject of many a wrangle because it's where most of the state's money goes. Higher education was fighting for more money against legislative threats of cuts. Grade and high school financing was still to be taken up. A revamp of the entire basic school fund was pro posed by the legislative fiscal officer. Consumers - Legislators seemed reluctant to tell bak ers what size loaves to bake, but a bill was introduced to make labeling clearer so the housewife won't be duped. Other measures to protect consumers included one to re quire clearer state m e n t of interest rates. Permits for purchasing liquor could be on their way out.
