Narrow as it was, the vote is regarded asa boost for the plan, which is believed to have at least the general blessing of Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara. The proposal — latest step in a yearlong Pentagon drive to streamline the Reserve forces — is expected to encounter stiff opposition from powerful members of Congress. The 21-member Reserve Forces Policy Committee voted last week. The reg- ular Army, the Guard and the Reserves have seven representatives each on the panel. , Pentagon officials have classified details as secret.

Supervisor Kirby Holmes said the suit, filed by Township Attorney Roy Rogensues, followed several attempts to meet with Gerald Remus of the Detroit water system, all of which failed. Holmes contends that Detroit’s contract With Shelby specifies that taps would be installed at 23 and 25 Mile roads. “They have installed only one tap — that at 24 Mile Road — and it will do us no good there,” said Holmes. * * ★ “Further we did not agree to the, change In contract,” he said.

It was the third MiG base bombed by American warplanes.

The secret is eyelashes so natural that your friends just wouldn’t beUeve you’re wearing falsies. These hunlan hair lashes should be perfectly feathered (uneven in length) and pretrimmed. They should be tapered from the shorter length of the inner eye and fan out longer at the outer corner. ■k ★ -ik—T- Not all eyes look good with a thick fringe of lash. If your eyes are somewhat narrow or small, the lashes should be brief, trimmed short at die inner end and full length at the outside. With equal amounts of practice and patience you’ll acquire the knack of applying “fringe shades.” To, begin with, you must handle the lashes gently. Measure the false lash base against your natural lid line, starting at the inner corner of the eye where your own lashes begin to thicken. ★ ★ ★ The outer end of the lash base should not extend beyond your own lash line. If the lash base is too long, use a manicuring scissors to snip the end where the hairs are longest. Now apply a thin line of adhesive along the inner edge of the false lash base. Allow the adhesive to set — about 10-15 minutes, This is important. * ★ ★ Looking straight ahead into a mirror, partially close the eye to which you are applying toe-false lash; Hoid the lash in the ctotor of the base with either your fingers or a tweez-er. Now bring the false base lash down as close as possible to your own lash base, positioning it as you did for the initial measuring. Be careful to adhere the lash base to your lid tine and not to your lashes. ' ★ * ★1 Press the lash base gently in place, Using either your fingertips or the side ot a lid liner brush handle. Using a dry mascara brush, gently blend your own lashes , with toe falsies. The removal and care of your store-bought lbshes are also important. ___■- \ ,if tk ' it _______[_., ' Starting at either inner or outer eye corner, GENTLY peel them off.

SAGINAW, PON Free Parking ia Rear of Store THE PONTIAC PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1967 Three Schools to Pioneer Curriculum Plan By ED BLUNDEN Three schools in the Bloom* field Hills School District will begin a curriculum plan next fall that will change many traditional patterns of education— the Continuous Progress System. 'V/K. *| Covering kindergarten through high school, the program has been called the most sweeping change in the district’s history. Involved will be Wa|y Elementary, East mis Junior H i g h and Lahser High.- The new curriculum is an extension of the theory that each puptt Should proceed with each subject at his own Robot Boston, assistant superintendent for curriculum, an educator who bps had much to do with implementing the program, answers some questions on the new system: • Q. Where has this system been Used before and how successful has it been? A. To o u r knowledge a continuous progress-systems approach in all subject areas has never beta used anywhere before. However, many school systems throughput the United States have had continuous ~ progress programs of more/ttm-ited scope (elementary only, secondary only, one or two subjects only, etc.) for a number of years. Most schools using continuous progress rajport that their efforts have been successful — that they are doing a better job of meeting the individual needs of each student. However, without knowing the criteria for judging “success,” it would be impossible for us to answer this question more Specifically. Q. Is there a firm basis for believing a student will “learn more” this way? A. No claim has been made that the learner will “learn more” — only that, he will achieve EQUAL TO, OR BETTER than he now does. Q, Do you think this type of study is the type that all districts will someday adopt? A. I would have no basis on which tb make such a projection. Certainly, it would be my hope that school distorts would consider individualmng their programs to better meet the needs of each student, but imposing a particular pattern on all would result in little more than a label change. Q. Is tills program meant to improve all students or just the quick learner? A. This program is designed to meet the needs of EVERY student, identifying where he stands academically in each area and allowing him to progress as rapidly as he ip able. Q. What if a student is excellent in one subject, say math, and poor in another, English perhaps, what effect will this have? A. The student will be* in classes with Ids own chronological age group but a will receive instruction and work in materials appropriate to his achievement level in each subject area. Q. W i 11 students receive grades, A, B, C, etc ? A. Students in grades 7-12 will receive letter grades, but elementary children will not. (This no departure from the present reporting system.) Q. Wilt class levels, junior, sophomore, etc., still exist? A. Yes. - Q. Will a pupil be able to finish school sooner, a 12-year course in 10 years, for instance? A. The pupil may finish the regular K-12 program in 10 years, but he will not graduate sooner, Instead he may proceed into advanced college placement courses for which be will receive college credit upon successful completion of the advanced college^ placement exams. Q. Could a student finish the school year early and take an extra month off? Ar No, students will be m quired to be in attendance a minimum number of days each year. That’s an interesting idea, though. Q. How will exams be handled since there will be no more midterms, finals, etc? A. Students will; take exams whenever they complete course requirements rather than on a specific calendar date. Q- How will parents know where their child stands academically? A. Initially, parents will receive this information in a summer conference...Thereafter, parents of elementary students will be informed of their children’s progress at regular parent-teacher conferences, and parents of junior arid senior high students will receive regular written report cards with spe- fierce competition for grades. Isn’t tills system likely to promote competitiveness? A. This system will DE-EM-PHASIZE competition between and among students and will emphasize a child’s competition with himself to better his own cial conferences arranged atltaihed classrooms would enable any time upon request. us to Utilize two or more teach- Q.

Motivation,. then, will be in-trinsic rather than extrinsic. Q. The school district recruits teachers from all over the country. How well will they be able to handle the new situation and win it require retraining on their part? A. All teachers participating in this program will receive special training on teaching methodology, utilization of materials, etc. during the summer months. Q. Will the district need new facilities (and if so, what kind)? f A. The program could be ini-tinted wife present facilities; but minor additions and remodeling will increase our flexibility and contribute to our goal of better meeting the individual needs of each student. For example, larger learning spaces rather than self-con- Q- Can the standard textbooks be used? A. Standard textbooks will provide ONE of the media used to help students acquire the fundamental skills. However,, rather than having a single, standard text adoption in a subject such as seventh-grade mathematics, a wide variety of text* books and other materials will be used to provide the best sible instruction for each dent. Q. What direct benefit can the parents of a student expect? A.

And it is asked by guide-posts to restrain itself. STRONG FORCES' Two very powerful, and in sodie Way contradictory, forces are involved: restraint for the common good of wage and price stability, and competition for the private goal of the greatest profit. In the past the guideposts have had some success in warding off inflation. But things were different then. The economy was expanding rapidly, and so workers had their high wages and business had its profits.

RISE ._____are as indistinct as a curbstone hi a blizzard. In general, guideposts work on the belief that price levels will not rise in an. inflationary way if labor’s wage gains do hot exceed productivity gains, and if business keeps its level of profits constant. AVERAGE GAIN In both 1965 aiul 1966 this gain in productivity was pegged at 3.2 per cent. This was the average annual increase in output per man hour for private industry fora five-year period. Workers were expected not to exceed this in their wage de- -xpands. An industry which achieved this average was deemed capable of paying such a raise. And if the industry had even larger gains it should consider a price cut. Now, however, the formula has been violated time and time again. And the specific guide of 3.2 per cent has been dropped, either as outdated or because it was so abused. What is left is-a formula but not a guide. The administration now says the next step in revitalizing the guideposts must be taken soon, but it doesn’t say what this step will be or when it will be taken or even who should take the initiativein devising it. NO LEGISLATION The administration does reject one alternative, that of legislation. 'It is clearly for voluntary restraints and has even defined the most satisfactory form [of such restraint. “Ideally,” said Ackley, “standards for ‘responsible’ wage and price behavior should— be set with sufficient precision that anyone who was willing to cooperate could judge what was expected of him.” * ★ ★ However, after defining the problem the administration has, apparently, no specific directions. It states that reliable measures of productivity, on which the standards;would be -based, may be unavailable. ■ “I am not prepared to predict what the next steps in the evolution of the guidepost policy may be,” said Ackley. “I only know that something like the present guideposts will be with us for a long time to come.” INITIATIVE If the initiative is not forthcoming from government, then where will it emerge from? Hopefully, said Ackley, from “public opinion, academic scholars, leaders of business And labor.” According to Stelter, new truck sales rose 70 per cent in the past seventy ears, and “continued growth is assumed.” “The demand on the truck dealer will mount with increasing sales,” he said. “Even if the next seven years; bring but a 40 per cent hike inL4v,.._ sales, the dealer selling 200 % if trucks now will sell 280 annually I: by 1974.__ Unsolved Tariff Issues Aired BRUSSELS (AP) - Working under pressure of a Sunday deadline, Cabinet ministers- of the European Common Market assembled in Brussels today to discuss unresolved issues in the Kennedy Round tariff negotiations with the United States.
