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.

Handwriting Problems Occur In Few Letters With Children
By DAVID NYD1CK
UP1 Education Specialist
Research shows that chil
dren's problems in handwriting
usually occur with a few rather
than many letters.
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.

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.
