From the stewpdpoint of volume of legislation -passed as well as the variety of subjects upon which the Congress'has legislated, the session' will certainly fill "this description.. This Congress covered tfte gamut of legislative "activity from the earth's subsurface to outer space, from the $1'30 ;claim of ar» Air Force officer to" thr? $49-billion for national defense, and practically every interest and problem which exists in between these geographical and economic extremes. The nation's health, education, economic well beiniq; and related subjects occupied the time of our 535 members.of the House of Representatives pnd Senate during the ton-month session about 1o close. HEALTH More legislation affecting public and private health was added to the Federal statute books than at any time during our nation's history. Leading this category of leeislaticn was the Social Secur'ty Amendment of 1965 (HR. 6675) including, "medicare" or hosoitalization under Social Security for all citizens 65 vears of age and older. Added to this measure before passage were a variety of other programs, including: (a) a voluntary program to provide medical care administered by private insurance companies, (b) increased Social Security benefits for older citizens as well as widows find dependents, (d) an increase m Social Security taxes to protect the reserve funds, fd) a beefing-up of the Kerr-Mills program of health care for the need^p .aged or "eldercare," and -fefc provisions benefiting the biliidk' the physically handicapped and certain other disabled persons. The nation's health also was dealt with in the Community Health Services Act (S. 510) providing matching funds for local health centers, and the Community Mental Health Centers Act (HR. 2985) providing a corresponding service for the mentally ill. Substantial funds were voted for Health Research Facilities (H.R. 2984) and for concentrated research work on d'sease of the heart, cancer stroke and related ailments (HR. 3140). The Congress has provided substantial funds to educate and train medical practitioners and others preparing for careers in the healing acts in H.R. 3141. Another new program will result in establishing and financing; medical library facilities (H.R. 3142), including regional medical libraries to aid the medical profession and those whom it undertakes to serve. Extensive amendments to the water pollution control laws include a new requirement for standards of quality in our major rivers and lakes. This represents completion of a longtime campaign for reducing pollution of our nation's waters. A Clean Air bill (S. 306) is designed to reduce pollution from automobile exhausts as well as other pollutants in our nation's air. Still another new program entitled' trie" Rural Water Sanitation Amendments (H.R. 10232) is designed to assist in providing sewage facilities in the rural sections of our nation. .Certain specific subjects affecting our nation's health have also been dealt with, including amendments to further control the distribution and use of harmful drugs, including the socalled "pep pills" and "goofballs" (H.R. 2i. In recognizing the damaging consequences of cigarette smoking, the Congress has imposed a requirement that all packages of cigarettes shall be labeled to indicate that "cigarette smoking may be hazardous to your health" S. 559). . EDUCATION For the first time in our nation's history, a comprehensive program of federal aid to elementary an:! secondary education has been enacted (H.R. £362). The initial program d>f providing an annual allowance of $1.5-billion is intended to-benefit public as well as paroch al and private schools. This legislation also covers our' nation's high schools with all schools benefiting on the basis of a formula which takes into account the families in the school district with incomes, of $3,000 or less according to the 1960 census. The Higher Education Assistance Act (H.R. 9569) stepped up scholarship and loan funds for students seeking a college education. The program of vocational education also was augmented through enactment of the Vocational Student Loan Insurance Act (H.R. 7743). Amendments to the Vocational Rchablitation Act (H.R. 8310) and intended to educate disabled persons in order to make Women of the Moose CHAPTER NO. 1S48 McHENRY MOOSE LODGE Sunday was a big day for sixteen memhers of the Loyal Order of Moose and their wives as they chartered a bus for a* trip to Mooseheart, where ten of the members were installed into the Legion of the Moose. During the installation the wives were entertained by the Mooseheart band with selections from Beethoven's "Clarinet Sole"; Jerome Kerns' "Showboat" and Manceni's "Moon River", "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "Elephant Walk." After the installation, all the Legionnaires and then* wives were entertained by a professional vaudeville floor show featuring such stars as Sonny Mars, with comedy entertainment; Byrnes and Patti, a father and daughter dance comedy act, and Jack Pyle, the magician, who pulled a few tricks out of his hat including a large white rabbit. Five of the senior residents of Moosemeart favored us with their singing ability, including our own "Sunshine Girl". To top things off, a delicious dinner- was served at +he new Moose lodge in Crystal Lake.

Funds to provide an additional, building for the Library of Congress (H.J.Res. 642) may also be classified as part of the national education effort. Closely related to the subject of education was the establishment of the Arts and Cultural Council iII.R. 4717). This measure, which began as i purely advisory institution, developed later in the session as the National Arts and Humanities Foundation (H.R. 9460) which for the first time provides federal subsidies for the performing arts. The Inter- American Cultural and Trade Center -is authorizing in H.R. 30 \\ hich passed the House of Representatives and was pending in the Senate at the clos? of the first session.

In the same vain reading music alone is certainly not a qualification of a good music t< achcr. But being able to read, Intel prcte and understand 1 he how's and why's of music and conveying this knowledge to the student so he understands it. should be one of the utmost qualifications of any music teacher. At "TONES" we teach the students not only how to play the instrument of their choice, but also how to be good musicians with a sound background in the basics and theory of music. Students are taught how to think for themselves and how to recognize and correct tlvir own mislakes. Our teachers do not. spend the lesson period giving a "concert" for the student as many "professional" teachers do. hoping lhat the student will pick-up something here and l!v»n\ A "TONES" music student is taught music the correct way, and with this knowledge he himself learns and progresses with his instrument. Remember, if you are interested and have the proper background, you yourself are your best teacher. Please feel free to stop in any time for more information on our teaching policy and staff.
