(PHOTOGRAPH BY AMERICAN HEREFORD ASSOCIATION ) What Just One Person Can Do If you don't believe that one person can change things for the better, ask Lois Devine of Littleton, Colo. The homemaker from a Denver suburb got upset over "jarringly ugly signs" she saw at many shopping centers. A lot of us feel the same way-but Mrs. Devine did something about it. In a letter to the president of a supermarket chain, she stated her case. Wisely enough, Mrs. Devine began praising the company's policy of unit pricing and efforts to support ecological goals. Then she said: " People will seek out stores, for themselves, and once they have found them, an unsightly multi-stories sign will not make them spend one penny more. How much nicer it would be to be identified by a tastefully landscaped plaza. A miniature green belt in front of your stores with thoughtfully placed benches, where a weary housewife can pause and refresh her spirit, will create a mountain of good will." If Lois Devine had confinedk (From the District ministrttive Desk) CONTINUITY WITH PROGRESS It is the belief in District 15 that education is best served by using past methods of proven worth in such a way that their modification can be easily achieved. This provides a flexibility which enables the district to incorporate new promising methods which are intended to bring about greater student achievement. For example, individualized in­ struction is receiving con­ siderable recognition and emphasis among educators. District 15 has begun using this approach in several subject matter areas. Progress toward achieving an individualized program for each student will continue. Individualized instruction is a breakthrough in education. Until recently, everybody was taught subject matter in much the same way, while disregarding his or her present skills or the lack of them. Consequently, students with backgrounds that enabled them to advance more quickly were held back while students who lacked certain skills, needed in a particular study, were left still further behind. Sup­ posedly, the only group that was being helped was the "average" group. Another problem resulting from the traditional approach of teaching was that students have more or less skills in different subject areas. Most people would accept the fact that their child can perform well in one area and not so well in another. For example, a student may perform well in Math and poorly in English. The student's Math per­ formance shows that he or she does have ability. The poor performance in English could be caused by a multiplicity of reasons. If the student who performs poorly in English was provided with an individualized approach, his or her problem(s) could be more accurately assessed. With the proper diagnosis of the problem(s) a remedy can be prescribed. Individualized programs are tailored to the student's needs. Once the student's strengths and weaknesses are deter­ mined (usually through a combination of testing and teacher assessment) his or her program in each subject matter area is developed. The student works on areas which were problems for him or her, while the student with greater developed academic skills can be challenged to do tasks which his or her capability permits. Equally important ~ and emphasized is evaluation. Every new or modified program is carefully assessed. This evaluation is concerned with academic progress and acceptance of the program. Therefore, every new procedure is evaluated in the light of the student, the teacher and the community. This evaluation is acheived in part by testing. To complete the evaluation, questionnaires are provided the students and the members of the community. In conclusion, "Continuity with Progress" sums up the educational philosophy in District 15. Methods of in­ struction are founded on past programs of proven worth, which can and do incoir.rate new programs that show promise. Evaluation is con­ cerned with every facet of instruction and takes into account the students', teachers' and the community's concerns. Thus, the instructional program is intended to involve. Efforts to develop a better educational program for the students in District 15 are continuous, and the results of these efforts are subjected to rigorous evaluation.

It was read by the chain's president to the executive committee, and a decision was made to increase the use of landscaping and drastically reduce the size and garishness of signs. Does a sign or a company policy bother you? Write to the president. Were you especially impressed by a television program last night? Let the station know - and the sponsor Do you trust the policies of a political candidate? Go out and campaign. This country became great because people put their beliefs into action. It will continue to grow only if you and I take personal responsibility for improving the quality of life in our surroundings. Think what happened in Denver because Lois Devine acted. Think what might become of our world, if, with God's help, more of us did. Teamwork succeeds when both horses pull.

Divorce? Credit? Taxes? Civil rights? Wills? According to the Illinois State Bar association, there has been an upsurge of public interest in all these aspects of law but the one that still commands the greatest attention and raises the most questions is the subject of wills. As the ISBA points out, the idea of making a will or - better still - of being the beneficiary of one, touches the lives of a great many people. Beyond this, wills have historically fascinated people, providing the plot for many fictional as well as real-life dramas. For whatever reasons, the mail to the ISBA headquarters in Springfield daily brings another batch of questions about wills, their witnesses, lawful heirs, the rights of widows, about executors and so on. Because most questions require further information about the individual cir­ cumstances and can only be answered in consultation with an attorney, the bar group urges inquirers to see a lawyer but has no idea how many follow this advice. Answers to some questions, however, can be taken straight from the statute books. Many questions of this type are ^answered in the ISBA's free pamphlet, entitled "Wills," which may be obtained by writing the Illinois Bar center, Springfield, 62701, enclosing a stamped, self-addressed en­ velope. " Here are a few of the most commonly asked questions and the answers as given in the "Wills" pamphlet: Q. Is it necessary to have a will notarized? A. No. The law requires that the will be in writing and that it be witnessed in the manner provided by law. The maker of the Will must be at least 18 years old and of sound mind. Q. My husband is threatening to disinherit me by leaving me out of his will. Can he do this? A. A surviving spouse, whether or not named in a will, may always claim at least one- third of the estate of which the deceased spouse is possessed at death. If the deceased has no child or grandchild, the sur­ viving spouse is legally entitled to at least one half of the estate. A spouse may renounce the will that does not provide for his or her legal share. Q. Who inherits the estate of a person who dies without a will? A. If a married person dies without a will, one third of the estate goes to the spouse and two-thirds is divided among the deceased's children or their descendants. If there are no children or grandchildren then all of the property will go to the spouse. The estate of the person who has no surviving spouse or descendants goes to next-of-kin in the manner provided by law. Q. Can I name my nephew as my executor even though he lives in another state? A. Yes. The maker of a will may name whomever he wishes as executor. The "Wills" pamphlet warns against hastily-drawn "death bed" will which often lead to technical errors. It suggests that wills be prepared while a person is enjoying good health and that an attorney be con­ sulted to make sure his wishes are properly carried out.
