This new excitement from Comet is going to make a lot of '63 owners wish
they had waited. For here is a car that delivers all the good sense of a "com
pact" along with a functional elegance reminiscent of Europe's Gran Tourismo
motorcars. Under the sleek new fastback roof, there's plenty to catch your
eye and keep you interested: bucket seats, console compartment, stick-shift
with four speeds forward' at d even a tachometer, if you like. Altogether it's
a very personal kind of car-with all the pride and pleasure that suggests.
The new S-22 and Custom Sportster are now on
display in our showroom. They deserve a close look.

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

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

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.

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.
