Reagan said Monday following

• Officials at the Texas
Education Agency and the
Texas Attorney General’s office

The landmark 67-page ruling
by Justice ordered schools to
provide bilingual instruction
from kindergarten through the
12th grade.
State law now requires
Mexkan-American students not
proficient in English to receive
classes through the third grade,
and makes allowances in some
cases for the classes to continue
through the fifth grade.
Reagan said he based his
estimate on the (2.5 million that
HKD spends each year to teach
about 6,000 Hispanic students.
He also predicted that
Justice’s ruling would be ap-
pealed to the U.S. Supreme
Court.
Justice, who cited the Equal
Protection Clause of foe 14th
Amendment in his ruling, said
bilingual instruction is needed
because “these children have
waited long enough to reap the
benefits of an adequate
education.”
“The more quickly the ethnic
injustices of the past can be
overcome, the sooner this
nation can face, as one people,
the challenges of the future.”
Justice ordered state officials
to meet with attorneys for the
plaintiffs — the League of
United Latin American Citizens
and the GI forum — by Jan. 29
to start working on a [dan to be
submitted to the court by March
2.

and general counsel of
MALDEF, a Hispanic legal
group, hailed the ruling as one
that “recognizes the urgent
need of Mexican-American
children to receive ...un-
derstandable instruction.”
“We are absolutely
delighted,” she said, “with
Judge Justice’s decision...to
provide bilingual instruction to
a projected 250,000 Mexican-
American students from kin-
dergarten to grade 12 who do
not understand English in-
struction.”
Ms. Martinez said the “Texas
educational system has locked
Mexican-Americans to second
class citizenship. With this
decision, we can break the cycle
and give our children a fair
chance to learn.”
The ruling stemmed from a
1970 suit filed by the Justice
Department against the state in
an effort to integrate nine all-
black schools.
LULAC and the GI Forum
intervened in the suit in 1972
and in 1975 asked for relief on
behalf of the Mexican-
American students.
LULAC national president
Ruben Bonilla said in Corpus
Christi the decision “is
potentially a historic one” and
called on the Texas legislature
to come up with the money to
implement a bilingual
program.

Soiled aprons

POLLY’S PROBLEM
I do hope someone has an answer to my problem
regarding aprons that are gathered at the waist I have
tried all sorts of things and cannot set the gathered
areas clean. They do not have real dirt but just soil from
dishwashing. I would certainly appreciate some help. —
MRS. R. OF N J.
DEAR MRS. R.— Have you tried wetting a stiff
brash with detergent sads and scrubbing these areas
before patting the aprons in the wash? Next time yon
make or bay aprons, select pattens that fit flat against
the waistband, Le., cat on the bias or straight — POL-

DEAR POLLY — Your women readers do not waste soap
slivers, but they surely do waste a lot of time by saving them.
I just wet them and stick them on to a new cake of soap. For
the next use the sliver and cake are one' - JOSEPH
DEAR POLLY — Here's an easy way to turn a homemade
belt tie or any tubular item inside out. Get a strong string or
twine that is longer than the item. Before sewing, coil the ends
of the string twice around your finger and place the string
between the fabric, with the coils at the end of the item, so you
can stitch over them. Be careful not to catch the rest of the
string in the seam while sewing the length. After sewing, gen-
tly pull the string; the item will turn quickly. Cut the stnng off
and you can pull out the coils. — V.J.
DEAR POLLY — During the winter when I find an onion
that has started to sprout, I set it in the dirt by one of my
houseplants and soon have a green onion to use for flavoring.
Occasionally I just use a bit of the green steins at a time.
Also, when I want very thin slices of cheese, I use my potato
peeler to make slivers. - LETA x
DEAR POLLY — I always carry a pair of nail clippers in
my purse and find they are not only handy for broken nails but
for clipping loose threads. They are also good to carry in a
knitting bag instead of scissors with sharp points. — LEE

Natural planning an art?
this newspaper.
(NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)
Dear Aim Landers: Your
answer to the 16-year-old girl
who was befl-bent on having sex
and wanted to know the “safe”
days of the month proves that
there are many people in this
country (including you) who
are completely ignorant when it
comes to the subject of natural
family planning. A woman does
not have to have regular
periods “right on the dot” in
order for this approach to work.
The sympto-thermal method
of natural family planning
involves charting of tem-
peratures and observing the
mucous pattern in each cycle to
determine a woman’s fertile
and infertile times within each
cycle. Some women can even
pinpoint the day of ovulation.
Those desiring to avoid
pregnancy need only to refrain
from intercourse during the
fertile days.
Natural family planning is an
art and, as such hospitals
conduct classes in the sympto-
thermal method which involves
nothing more than mucous
observation.
You owe it to your readers to
encourage them to investigate
this method. They will then be
free to enjoy sexual intercourse
without gadgets and con-
traptions — which is the way a
Higher Power intended it to be.
— Joyous And Unworried In
Gaithersburg, Md.
Dear Joyous: I am printing
your letter for the benefit of
those who may be interested,
but I am NOT advocating the
method. I don’t want a blizzard
of letters in four months saying,
“I am pregnant and it’s all your
fault.”
My authorities tell me the
sympto-thermal method does
indeed work, but it. requires
careful monitoring, charting
and recording. Most women
need a simpler method and one
that does not require abstinence
during certain days.

the criticism is intopreted as
an insult foe loss will be hers.
You will at least have tried to
help ha*.
Dear Ann Landers: Please

Dear Ann Landers: I have a
friend who is a 30-year-old. She
is very sensitive and I don’t
want to hurt her feelings, but
she needs to be told that her
table manners are atrocious.
We have dined together many
times, and it is all I can do to
keep from upchucking. When
she has trouble getting food
onto her fork she uses her finger
as a pusher. Also she has this
terrible habit of runnning her
index finger around the inside
of her mouth and gums to free
up food that has lodged there. It
is sickening.
I must say something or
refuse to dine with her again.
Please tell me how to handle
this delicate situation. She
needs my friendship because all
her other acquaintances have
given up on her. — A Weak
Stomach In Everett, Wash.
Dear Weak Stomach: Meet
the challenge head-on. Tell the
woman, just as you told me,
that her table manners kill your
appetite, and if she wants to
continue to dine with you she
and asks to speak to someone in
the household, it is rude to ask,
“Who is calling?” This is the
same as screening a call —
which even Mr. Big for whom I
work downtown does not ex-
pect. What do you say, Ann? —
Feudin’ In Flushing
Dear Flush: Sorry, you lose.
The person who places the call
should identify himself at once.
Sample: “This is Helen Pen-
nyfeather. May I speak with
Mr. Gottlieb?” If he fails to
identify himself the person who
answers the phone has every
right to ask, “May I tell him
who is calling?”
Don’t flunk your chemistry
test. Love is more than one set
of glands calling to another. If
you have trouble making a
distinction you need Ann’s
booklet, “Love or Sex and How
to Tell the Difference.” Send a
long, self-addressed, stamped
envelope with your request and
50 cents to Ann Landers, P.O.
