JFK Signs Into Law
Remainder of Aid
To Education Bill
WASHINGTON UP) — President
Kennedy has signed into law
“with extreme reluctance” a bill
containing the remains of his aid
to education program.
The measure: (1) Extends for
two years the program of aid for
school districts crowded with
children of federal personnel and
(2) Continues for two years the
national defense education act.
The former, known as the im
pacted areas program, carries
about $300 million a year in U.S.
grants. The Defense Education
Act, which provides loans to col
lege students and aids to teach
ing of science, mathematics and
foreign languages, has been cost
ing about $250 million a year.
It was all Congress granted the
President of the ambitious federal
aid to education program he pro
posed this year.
Kennedy last night vetoed a bill
that would have given $60.8 mil
lion a year in pay raises to 560,
000 postal workers through quick
er longevity increases.
In a veto memorandum Ken
nedy said, “budgetary needs are
too urgent to permit approval of
this measure unattended by reve
nue increases.”
In signing the education meas
ure, Kennedy said in a statement:
“It ill becomes those who in
sist that we cannot afford the
expenditure of , federal funds to
aid public education of all chil
dren to insist with equal fervor
upon the passage of this unsound
and uneconomical measure which
aids the education of only some.”

tirely upon findings.

peared to be feeling better this
morning and complained good

facts, Fads and fancies
I ~z\
FACT — Rodeos began as
private celebrations by ranch
hands. After the hard wo
rounding up, branding and
cattle, cowboys entertained thi
with exhibitions of skill.
FAD—Not content with proving
their ability at bronco-busting,
calf-ropmg, etc. — cowboys
created especially difficult con
tests to boost excitement. In
one, a man had to saddle a
wild horse, ride him the length
of the arena I
f3X
FANCY —A common cowboy super
stition holds that "bandages before
the rodeo prevent bandages after!"
They have been known to wear a
variety of braces, bandages, straps
and homemade corsets before a
show in hope of warding off unpre
dictable injuries in action!_
FACT— Favorite refreshment
among rodeo fans, Four Roses
was first sold in 1888, only
sixteen years after first 'rodeo
was reputedly held in Chey
enne, Wyoming! Like the
rodeo, Four Roses has grown in
popularity with the years.
