(UP1) New Cotton Subsidy Measure Is First Johnson Victory WASHINGTON (UPD-Picsi- dent Johnson's new administra tion claimed its first House vic tory Thursday with passage of a new subsidy bill designed to in crease cotton sales by giving U.S. textile mills a better break on raw cotton prices. The bill provides a subsidy to cotton handlers, enabling them to buy from farmers at the rel atively high federal support price and re-sell to domestic mills at lower prices. The measure also would cut the farm support level, but with an added feature granting a support "bonus" to small farmers. The bill now goes to the Sen ate where no hearings were planned immediately and no ac tion likely until early next year. When the measure docs come to a vote in the Senate, indica tions were it will have been sharply revised. The Senate has held committee hearings on a similar measure but decided to wait for the House bill. Administration forces out the President's prestige squarely on the line for the controversial measure, which had been dor mant for months for lack of votes to pass it. ! The bill, passed late Wednes : day on a 216 to 182 roil call : vote, had its main subsidy fca ; ture watered down on a 125-122 ! vote before final passage, i That close vote approved an ! amendment which would allow ! the secretary of agriculture to decide just how much subsidy i is needed to eliminate the "in : equity" between high domestic prices now paid by U.S. mills ' and the low world price paid uy uieir competitors.

Parents can help by encour aging their children to practice. Don't make a big issue of hand writing but do make your child aware of its importance. y. My third grade child is learning regular writing and is having difficulty: His work is not neat and his letter for mation is poor. How can I help him? A. The first step is to talk with the teacher. If your child has poor coordination and has not developed the necessary muscular control, it would be best to delay changing to cur sive (regular) writing. If this is not the case, there are three major things which must be learned. In cursive writing the letters are slanted as is the pa per. There are various new let ter forms which must be learned. In addition, the child must learn to make connecting strokes between letters. SECTION B PAGES 1 to 12 MEDFORDtrakjTKIBUNE MEDFORD, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1963 You should find out the letter forms which are being taught in school. These vary slightly, and you do not want to confuse the child. A reasonable amount of practice is essential. Perhaps you could encourage the writ ing of notes and letters to friends and relatives. Also re-' member that manuscript (print ing) writing1 is a useful form and should be maintained. Q. My son, John, is in the second grade. He still prints in stead of writing. When should he learn to use regular writing? A. Cursive (regular) writing is generally Introduced in the third grade. Some schools may start at the end of the second grade while others may wait un til (he intermediate grades. It is not advisable to rush the change from manuscript (print ing). Some of the indications that a child is ready to make the change are: His own desire to change his ability to print all the letters properly; his ability to read cursive writing; his abil ity to copy printing properly and with reasonable speed. Usu ally a child has acquired the muscular control to make the change in about the third grade. Regardless of when it is taught, don't expect too high a stand ard for many years. The ability to write actually continues to grow until one reaches adult hood when all the muscular skills have fully, developed. 25 SPECIAL SAT. & SUN. ONLY CORNED BEEF HASH 3nly85tf Intl.
