CINCINNATI ENQUIRER NEWS Page 6, Section A Sunday, Nov. 27, 1960 NEW HOME IS SET FOR AGED AND ILL To Ask Emergency cy Funds For Study Of Curriculum FRANKFORT. Nov. 26 (P)-The Commission on Public Education today voted to ask Governor Combs for emergency funds to conduct a study of the curriculum in Kentucky's public schools. The action came after the commission found it had alloted most of the $150,000 available to other studies on the state's school system.

But members felt the curriculum study was important enough to request up to $40,000 from the governor's emergency fund to finance the investigation. Dr. Lyman Ginger, Lexington, chairman of the group, tentative budget adopted earlier contained enough funds for the curriculum study if the salaries of members on that committee were paid by the schools they work for. BUT ONLY THE UNIVERSITY of Louisville agreed to pay the salaries of teachers who would take a leave of absence from their respective schools to work on the curriculum committee. This means the $70,000 cost of the study would fall entirely upon the commission.

Only about $30,000 was available because of the costs of other studies. The vote to ask Combs for emergency fund money came after member Rucker Todd, Louisville, said the commission was leaving out one of the most important items in its probe by failing to provide enough funds for the curriculum study. "I am dismayed to find we can't make that study," he said. "If we take out the curriculum committee we are going at the study of education in Kentucky backwards." At one point in the heated discussion, a favorable vote on a motion to table the day's entire agenda would have almost completely reversed the commission's earlier decisions and left up in the air action to sign contracts two consulting firms which will conduct other studies on education in Kentucky. But the motion failed on a 4-4 tie vote.

Todd offered a motion to allot $70,000 to the curriculum study by cutting back in funds already committed to the consulting firms of Booz, Allen Hamilton, and H. M. Ivy Associates. Todd wanted the $70,000 Booz, Allen Hamilton contract cut back to $40,000, eliminating all but a study of Sports Keyhole Marty Kehoe Betty Phelps Rolls 3 Honor Series BETTY PHELPS Hillcrest Women's Ohio last weekend.

His proposal would have cut the $10,000 contract of Ivy for a study of the minimum foundation program and school building plans to $7500 and would have required Ivy to pay its travel expenses. The commission voted last month to pay Ivy travel expenses from another allotment separate from the contract. Several committee members said Todd's proposal would create the same problem as trying to avoid in the curriculum study, and his lost. motions THE COMMISSION FINALLY agreed to go ahead with negotiations detailing in the contracts with the two firms what the commission wants done and then to sign the contracts formally. A meeting with Combs was set for Tuesday.

Four members of the Ivy firm outlined their proposals on the minimum foundation program study and heard commission suggestions as to what it should include. The 1960 Legislature created the commission to find out what is wrong with Kentucky's school system and to recommend legislation to improve it. The erection of the structure, Judge Jolly said, will mark a new departure in the care of the aged and infirm in the county. "Our idea," he said, "is to abolish the infirmary type of care and the idea that the aged or ailing person is being cared for at public expense. The entire project is on a straight rental basis, but the expense will be kept within the financial reach of persons living on social security pensions." With the gradual expansion of the social security system, he continued, it will be possible eventually to do away with any help from county sources.

At present, the truly indigent person receives a monthly payment from the state, and this by the county." Last year the county contributeemented in this way. Income to residents of the Campbell County Home, Lakeside Place, amounted to $27,000. The new Lakeside Place will afford "hotel type" accommodations of varying sorts, including apartments for couples and simpler quarters if desired. Judge Jolly explained the project became possible with the announcement by the Federal Government in September that a loan of $2.5 million would be available. The interest, amortization and other charges, he observed, will be defrayed out of income from rents paid by persons living in the project.

Privacy will be one of the chief advantages of the building. The structure is of a "cartwheel type" and accommodates 15 persons in each wing. The working drawings will be ready by January on February 1 the Federal Housing Administration will be asked to make the necessary loan insurance available, and on February 15 bids for the building will be asked. These bids will be opened by the Campbell Fiscal Court on May 15. Construction will get under way on March 23.

It is expected that the bullding will be completed by July 1, 1962. The structure was designed by Meriwether, Marye and Associates of Lexington and Edward J. Beiting Jr. of Ft. Thomas.

Kentucky Hunting Outlook Good FRANKFORT, Nov. 26 (P)-Several of Kentucky's major hunting seasons will open this week with prospects for game good. The state's fifth deer hunting season opens in 37 counties Wednesday and continues for four days, through December 3.

Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Minor Clak says more deer hunters will seek a larger herd than ever before. He predicts that with favorable weather, the greatest kill in modern history may be recorded.

Clark says reports from Northern Kentucky and from the state at large indicate a better supply of ducks and coots than last year. THE SUPPLY of ducks was low last year because of a poor nesting season, Clark said, but the past summer's nesting conditions were good and indicate a greater number of ducks, particularly in the northern areas. He added reports from the field indicate a fair supply of doves in Kentucky now. Deer hunters will be permitted to take either a buck or doe, but the limit is one. Legal deer hunting started in Kentucky in 1956 after a 10-year restocking program that has brought the herd to an estimated 50,000 deer.

Counties and sections of counties open to deer hunting are: Crittenden, Livingston, Lyon, Caldwell, Hopkins, Christian, Trigg, Meade that section east of highways 64 and 448.

Initiation of such a study was disclosed to the Covington Board of Education by David M. Evans, Covington superintendent of schools, at a meeting of the board Friday night. The study, Evans said, is being made jointly by the College of Education of Harvard University and the United States Department of Education.

A representative of the university, Evans said, will be in Covington in the week of December 5 to hold interviews with the principals of six Covington schools. There also was discussion at the meeting of the possibility of introducing new courses in mathematics in line with the present trend in mathematical thinking.

26, tP Governor Combs said yesterday the state plans to add between $2 million and $5 million to a recently approved $10 million bond issue for state park improvements. The governor, in a speech prepared for a banquet ending the second annual Kentucky Lake Fishing Derby, said it will be "the greatest state parks improvement program in Kentucky's history." He said it would cost $12 million to $15 million. He said "Kentucky can become the No. 1 tourist state in the nation" if private industry helps develop Kentucky's potential attractions. Combs, speaking at Kentucky Dam Village, said the expenditure will be distributed equitably.

"Every section of the state will receive a part of the money," he said. Combs said park 1m- provements could help portions of private industry which depend heavily on tourist spending. But, he warned, park improvements alone will not do the job. Combs said private industry must put forth "the enterprise, imagination and vigorous efforts" necessary to supplement attractions of state parks. The governor said in 1959 out-of-state tourists spent $165 million in Kentucky and that 13 per cent of the state's gasoline tax revenue -about $18 million--came from -state travelers.

With the new sales tax, he said, Kentucky should get more than $4 million a year in additional revenue from tourists. BETTY PHELPS 190. The teams will roll at 8:15 p. m. with a women's match at 7 p.
