COl'RED CONCRETE WALLS started going up Tuesday at the Oklahoma City
Housing Authority's 100-unit Hamilton Park project, SE 15-22 on the west side
of Grand Klvd. Local officials claim by pouring the walls in layers eight inches
thick with layer separation provided by a chemical substance, as much as
$280,000 may be saved over using the traditional concrete block wall method.
The complex, named in honor of the late Sen. Clem Hamilton of Heavener, is
the first municipal public housing construction in the city's history. (Times

Opinion
1$ Back
On Track
An on-again-off-again at-
torney general's opinion was
back on the track Tuesday to
rule whether the American
party will force Tulsa Coun-
ty to abandon voting ma-
chines for paper ballots.
Attorney General G. T.
Blankenship said in effect he
had pigeonholed the request
of State Sen. Gene Howard
(D-Tulsa) for a ruling on
word from Gov. Bartlett's
office.
Question Made Moot
Blankenship said he was
told Ed Pritchett, one of the
governor's attorneys. itv
formed his office Tulsa
County machines could han-
dle three parties. That made
the question moot, he said.
However. Howard said he
still wanted the opinion be-
cause Tulsa County voting
machines can handle
straight-ticket voting for two
parties, but not for three —
now that George Wallace's
American Party is on the
ballot
Howard's question: if a
voting machine cannot be
programmed for straight-
ticket voting for all three
parties on the ballot, must
Tulsa County revert to paper
ballots to preserve that right
for all voters?
No l-ax-al Problem
Tex Newman, Oklahoma
County election board secre-
tary, said the caphol county
has no such problem.
"It is considerable trouble,
but we can do it," Newman
said.
However. J. R. Rein-
heardt, Tulsa County elec-
tion board secretary, said
that county's machines arp
of a different make. He
joined Howard in claiming
they cannot handle three
parties on a straight-ticket-
vote basis.
When told Howard still
wants the question an-i
swered, Blankenship said an
opinion would he issued on
the subject.
In an age when text-
books become out of date
almost as soon a* they
reach the classroom, the
daily newspaper can be
used as an important
teaching aid, an Oklahoma
City special education
teacher told her contempo-
raries Tuesday.
Speaking at a workshop
for secondary school
teachers of socially de-
prived. mentally retarded
youngsters was Viola Es-
kridge. a special education
teacher at Willard Ele-
mentary School.
Current Reading Needed
"Newspapers are differ-
ent every day, while some
textbooks are out of date
almost before they reach
the classrooms," Miss Es-
kridge said.
"And since retarded ehi-
dren usually are poor
readers, they need some-
thing current, timely and
interesting to keep them
from being discouraged,"
she added.
Although her use of the
newspaper for the past
three years has been with
plementary children, Miss
Eskridge explained that
similar ideas and activi-
ties can easily bp used
with secondary-aged
youths.
Reading levels Noted
"Some secondary re-
tarded kids have reading
levels of third, fourth and
fifth grade. That’s not
much higher than my kids
have, so I think it would
really work w'ell in higher
grades." she said.
She told the workshop-
pers how shev makes sure
each child has a newspa-
pers how' she make* sure
ning of class.
"We start on pagp one,
and spend a lot of time on
it. looking at new words in
headlines, learning them,
and finding what cprtain
figures mean, such as the
circulation and date."
She said the children
quickly learn how to find
particular articles by page
and column number, and
that she is able to teach
new words and ideas when
the class reads stories to-
gether.
"When I read them a
story, I skip words I think
they know. That way, they
stay interested and I can
see if they are keeping up
with me."
Miss Eskridge showed
how the children learn
words, names and places
in the special sections,
such as sports, women’s
and the editorial page.
She brought examples of
her students’ work, indi-
cating the practical use
gained from the paper,
such as how to apply for
jobs listed in classified ad-
vertising. what abbrevia-
tions mean in grocery ad-
vertisements, howr to add
prices of items to "see
how much you can sppnd

with a certain amount of
money."
"These exercises im-
prove listening skills, lan-
guage arts and reading
ability, Miss Eskridge
said.
"if you judged the pro-
gram on pupil interest, en-
thusiasm and fun, I'm sure
the results would be cn-
t i r e I y satisfying." she
said.
"I do this every day in
my classes and so far have
detected no signs of bore-
dom."

includes more sessions

Gas? Indigestion?
Millions now get more
complete relief
Extra-action antacid relieves both excess acid and gas
One of the prices we pay for
modern civilization is the
tense, taut stomach, the
heartburn and gas that too
often result from our frantic
pace. Eating too much or too
fast, eating the wrong foods,
working under pressure, even
trying too hard “to relax and
>’ ive fun” can hit us where
, : i right in
th? stomach.
No plain antacid can pos-
sibly relieve all the distress-
ing symptoms of indigestion.
But now, millions have
found th* modarn solution
to excess acid and gas. It's
Di-Get, the extra-action ant-
acid. Di-Gel not only relieves
excess acid, it has the extra
action of Simethicone in a
patented formulation that
breaks up frothy bubbles of
gas to help relax your tense,
tight stomach.
The next time yre; •■■--r
with gassy-acid indigent inn,
be sure to take Di-OI for
more complete relief and
feel better fast. Get Di-Gel
in mint flavored tablets or
liquid at all drug counters.
