Cleland said VA grants for these so-called "wheelchair homes" were formerly limited to $25,000. Cleland pointed out that the new bill should be of special benefit to an estimated 168.000 Vietnam era veterans because it reduces the length of active duty service required for eligibili ty "for VA home, con­ dominium or mobile home loan guaranty benefits Vietnam era veterans now need to have served only ninety days on active duty - one day of which must have been during the period of Aug. 5. 1964. and May 7. 1975 - to be eligible for these VA benefits "The new law brings the eligibili ty requirements for Vietnam veterans in l ine with those for World War II and Korean conflict veterans." Cleland said The legislation also permits VA to guarantee loans for energy-related home im­ provements. including in­ stallation of solar heating and cooling systems In addition. the law authorizes VA to guarantee loans for converted con­ dominiums as of July 1, 1979. The agency currently is authorized to guarantee con­ dominium loans in buildings constructed and sold as this type of dwelling Cleland said another significant section of the legislation restructures V'A's mobile home loan program - setting a $17,500 loan maximum and extending the maximum loan term for single-wide mobile homes to 15 years, an increase of 36 months Cleland said veterans may obtain complete details of the expanded loan guaranty- program at any VA regional office SCENIC...The great upland desert plateau of the Hopi and Navajo in northeastern Arizona is a dramatic array of painted deserts, crimson obelisks and silent iron-stained canyon walls. This ancient Hopi village atop a mesa offers a panoramic view of the color-splashed country. "I was fascinated to learn," said Michael Landon, "that some of our nation's greatest Presidents enjoyed doing the same things that millions of Americans, of all ages are doing today . . . It's gratifying, too, when the President of the United States makes a state­ ment that everyone can support, no matter their political beliefs. That's unity," he quipped. Landon, interviewed on the NBC set of 'Little House on the Prairie', the TV series in which he stars as the father, was re­ ferring to the special message of President Jimmy Carter offici­ ally recognizing October as Na­ tional Hobby Month and calling for its observance by all citizens. As chairman of Hobby Month, an annual event sponsored by the non-profit Hobby Associa­ tion of America, Landon quoted the President that "throughout history our nation has been en­ riched by countless men and women who have refreshed their minds with a constructive hobby." As examples, Carter named Benjamin Franklin whose hobby was making kites, Thomas Jefferson constructing miniature houses and furniture. Abraham Lincoln who whittled model ships and had patented one he designed to navigate swamps. Bringing it to our times, the President pom ted out that Franklin Roosevelt was a collector of stamps and ship models, John F. Kennedy as­ sembled scale model kits of the P.T boat he had commanded, Dwight Eisenhower found Pleasure in painting and that ,.e himself collects rare bottles and arrowheads. Carter did not forget to men­ tion women. "Pioneer women." he stated, 'gathered together in quilting bees and such historic women as Dolly Madison and Jane Adams enjoyed the cre­ ative craft hobbies of needle­ work, painting and pottery making." Whether a person is President of the United States, a business man or woman, a factory worker, housewife, or mother, a student or is retired their being involved in a non-competitive hobby requiring the use of the hands and some concentration is a rewarding enjoyable activ­ ity, agree well known psycholo­ gists, Dr. Joyce Brothers and Dr. Albert Freeman, former President of the American Clin­ ical Psychologists Society.

A MODEL LESSON . . . Michael Landon, between takes on a set of his "Little House on the Prairie" TV series, uses this scale model of an historic clipper ship assembled from a hobby ktt to ex­ plain to Melissa Gilbert, his TV daughter. Laura, and to Mathew Laboteau, who plays his adopted son. what It was like to sail the seas in the pioneer days of *wooden ships and iron men*. Landon, Chairman of National Hobby Month, believes 'learning' Is one of the hidden ingredients in most constructive hobbles. The annual event was proposed by a U.S. Senate Resolution and this year was recognized by President Jimmy Carter. tired supervisor of Industrial Arts, Elementary of the Los Angeles Unified School District has long advocated the class­ room use of certain hobby prod­ ucts in education. They are effective in self- motivating students. Assembl­ ing scale model kits of automo­ biles, airplanes or ships, build­ ing and launching rockets or working on appropriate craft projects, according to Wonacott, are stimulating threshold ex­ periences in industrial tech­ nology and career opportuni­ ties while raising achievement levels in the 3 R's'. Dr Rudolph Brandt, an In­ dustrial psychologist and edu­ cation consultant to the Mel­ rose School. Santa Monica. California, has for many years successfully used a scale model city with electric trains as a learning tool; a teaching tech­ nique now being used in many schools. A survey of favorite leisure time activities of commercial airline pilots, members of the Airline Pilot Association, listed the hobby of building and fly­ ing model planes in the top five. Landon believes that having a constructive hobby is essential in our complex society which has converted so many of us to mere numbers It is one way. he says to express yourself, to feel good when working on a hobby at your own pace and taking pride in the completed project. "Thousands of schools and countless youth and adult or­ ganisations will celebrate Na­ tional Hobby Month." said Car­ ter. "This national observance perpetuates the tradition of In­ dividual creativity and self-ful- fillment in wh^ph* we can all * * iakeprid^" "Every hobbyist." said Lan­ don. "welcomes this recognition by the President and by a U.8 Senate Resolution proposing National Hobby Month as a time for those activities that "contribute to the vitality of American life and to the physi­ cal and mental health of our people " "My feeling, though," said the smiling Landon, "Is that most of as who enjoy having a hobby never realise how important it Is. I'm sure we do them pri­ marily for fun or to relax and for some, to restore their sense of humour. No wonder psy­ chologists recommend them."
