The year-old ability grouping
program in District elementary
schools was pronounced a sue
cess today by School Supt. Carl
F. Hansen.
In a special report designed
to quell the doubts of some
school board members, the
superintendent said he is con-
Winced the program is fpnc.
tioning Ito the advantage of
the children"
He added, in fact, that he
feels the schools would have
been compelled by .circum-
stances" to start special classes
for the gifted children and the
slow learners if they had not
already done so. He praised
the elementary department for
its Initiative and foresight" i'll
starting what has become
known as the three-track pro-
gram.
At a board meeting last
month several members-par-
ticularly Walter N. Tobriner,
board president, and Wesley S.
Williams, board vice president
expressed doubt about the
desirability of grouping ele-
mentary youngsters. DR.. Han
son promised to submit a re-
port within so days so that the
board could, if it so desired
order changes in the program
before the beginning of this
sSlool. year.
Program Seems Assured
There seems virtually nc
chance. however, that members
will stop DR.. Hansen from con-
tinuing the ability program al
least for a second year. Accord.
ing to Mr.. Williams, there are
no plans now to hold a specia
meeting before the next regu'
lar one on September 21-tWc
weeks after the beginning o.
the school year. Mr.. Tobrinel
is out of town.

Board members have had
their chance to express objec-
tions to the track system at
the elementary level, he said,
indicating that no more def
mite action is contemplated at
this time. 1t would be rather
late" he said. to make changes
for this coming school year.
The superintendehfs report
today confirms his preliminary
findings in February that the
'three-track program - with
classes for honors.' regular and
slow students-is working we'll,
although there are still areas
for improvement.
The superintendent noted
that there is considerable mo-
bility between the tracks Dur
ing last year So pupils in tine
basic classes for slow learners
were transferred to regular sec
tions. he said. Another 33 basic
students will enter regular jun
ior high classes this fall.
Meanwhile, the superintend-
ent decided yesterday that two
students at Western High
School who are staying here
with a grandmother-but whose
parents live in nearby Vir-
ginia-are not entitled. to tut
tion exemption.
BaSing his decision on an
opinion handed down last week
by Corporation Counsel Ches-
ter H. Gray, DR.. Hansen ruled
that the grandmother is not
actually acting in place of the
parents. She did not claim the
youngsters as tax exemptions,
he noted, and she cannot be
compelled to provide care and
maintenance for them.

Liz Isn't Rich Yet

LONDON (NANA). - You.
learn more about Hollywood
movie stars away from Holly
wood. For instance, in London,
I discovered that Elizabeth
Taylor, with all the money she
is making, may not have too
much in the bank. In Mike
TOdd'S will, she received an
outright payment of 100000.
So did Mike Todd, jr. Both of
them put every dime into
Scent of Mystery" the Smello-
rama movie the junior and
senior Todds believed in. To
date. nothing has come back
the picture was not a hit. In
time of course, Elizabeth will
receive some more money from
Around the World in 80 Days."
but to make the picture, and
to exploit it, Todd had to bor-
row enormous sums that must
be paid off first. But here's
a man who is rolling in millions
and I do mean Producer Sam
Speigel, who just paid $3.50 900
for a Cezanne painting and
who is also buying a big yacht
from his Bridge on the River
Kwai," and Suddenly Last
Summer" millions. The latter
is expected to gross SIS million.
And Miss Taylor will be rich
one day from this film. She
had 10 per cent of the profits.
The British seemed somewhat
bewildered by Tammy Grimes
singing of Melancholy Baby"
at the London Palladium Night
of Stars. In my opinion Tammy
is not ready for this kind of
big time plateau. Her chief in
terest lies in the fact that she
will probably be signing her
name Mrs. Rex Harrison"
But while she looks a bit like
the late Kay Kendall, she has
a long way to go before she
acquires the kind of talent pos
sessed by Kay. Or maybe I just
heard her sing the wrong song.

Q. - How long does it take to
get social security check after
l file my claim?
A. - There is no way of telling
exactly. 1t is always necessary
for us to secure record of your
earnings from our central office,
which usually takes week or
two. While waiting for the earn
ings record, we obtain the other
proofs and information required,
make a determination, and for
ward the case to the payment
center for review. The check is
then issued by the Treasury De-
partment.
These actions usually take
around two months but seldom
more than three months. You can
help to assure that you will re-
ceive your social security check
on time by calling at the social
security office 60 to 80 days be-
fore you retire. BY learning what
will be needed to process your
claim, you can speed your first
social security check when you

Eggs And Pork
Are Plentiful
On Food Lists

Eggs and pork remain in the
spotlight of plentiful foods for
March, according to Miss Lois
Simonds, extension consumer
food marketing specialist, the
Ohio State University.
Since eggs are traditionally one
of the springtime protein items
for meals, Miss Simonds suggests
you include them in such main
dishes as eggs baked in cheese
sauce, egg creole and fluffy ONE
lets and souffles. A special Len
ten platter might be a threesome
of creamed hard cooked eggs and
shrimp in a rice ring.
The pork supply will be heavy
in March because pork from the
fall pig crop will start coming to
market in late February. Look
for specials" for pork buys.
Three fresh vegetables will be
in the plentiful food spotlight
new green cabbage, celery and
carrots. New green. cabbage i@
not only top buy for vitamin c
but it can brighten meals with
color, crispness and adds special
flavor.
Carrots, a good source of Wit
amin A, will continue in gen,
erous supply. Celery will be II
ample supply.
Orange and orange products
canned freestone peaches anI
cranberry products top the lis
of fruits for March. Production O1

Simonds says.

Safety Rules
Are Important
To Homemaker

Some homemakers say they
are afraid of electricity. Yet they
are careless with portable cleo
trical appliances, says Miss Lois
Deneke, extension home man
agement specialist, the Ohio State
University.
Accidents or deaths that in
volve electrical appliances hap
pen every day. Rather than put
all the blame on the appliance,
consider the answers to these two
questions: Where did the trouble
come from? Could the accident
have been prevented by the user?
In answer to these questions,
Miss Deneke suggests some pre-
cautions to follow when using
small electrical appliances:
/. Avoid using electrical ap-
pliances when standing on a wet
floor or wet ground.
2. Avoid using small appliances
on surface or in an area where
they could accidentally fall into
a sink while still connected.
3. Don't plug heating appli-
ances into light sockets. Wiring
designed for lights may not be
made heavy enough to operate
many appliances.
4. Always disconnect appli-
ances before cleaning. Keep metal
objects away from heating ele-
ments.
s. Allow hot appliances to cool
before storing.
6. Disconnect small appliances
when not in use to avoid danger
of shock or accidentally touch
ing the "on' switch.
T. Never plug in more than
one appliance with a heating
element on the same circuit un-
less an electrician has certified
that the wires are large enough
to accommodate the current OF
both appliances.
AS an extra precaution Miss
Deneke suggests using the in
struction book for checking sug-
gested safe practices for each
portable appliance. Keep the di-
rection book within easy reach
