"One of the great needs in ec ucation is for more individua instruction. This is the best aiu least expensive way we'v found of providing it. "Instead of one teacher for 3 children, we now have one fo every five or six. The tutors ar warm and close to the younge children, but they make them work." The student tutors receive several weeks of instruction be fore they are assigned to duty. "For example," said Mela ragne, "we don't let them say to the little ones, 'You're wrong.

When mistakes are made, the tutors simply tell them what the correct answer is." Judy Walsh, a teacher, said: "I was worried at first that I would not know what the younger children were doing, but the HAS DEGREE Richard K.

"It's fun," said Kate Suda, 10, who takes an hour a day from her fifth grade studies to tutor in kindergarten. Looking down at 5-year-old Jeffrey Harris, she said, "He's doing so much betler." Said Jeffrey: "I like Kate. She's nice." Many of Pacoima's 1,600 cent Mexican-American, 15 per cent from poor homes.

Many have emotional and mental problems. "But the program is not designed for poor areas alone," said Principal Bill Lyle. Lyle said selection as a tutor "changes the whole attitude of the one chosen. He's important, he finds a place in the sun." The younger ones benefit, too, he said. "There's an understanding between children that is difficult for a leacher to achieve, especially with 30 or more children in the room." Love Seat Make Comeback In Small Homes HIGH POINT, N.C.

Consumer Dreams Of Releasing His Gripes, Organizing For Rights RECEIVES DEGREED Leonard G. Swanger, 125 S. Second received an associate of applied science degree in tool design technology in recent commencement exercises held at the Williamsport Area Community College. By JOHN CUNNIFF AP Biuinesi Analyst NEW YORK (AP) Seeking solace from the consumer blues after a series of run-ins with: television repairman over the discovery that the tubes had been merely wiped off rather than car dealer over a costly discovery in the fine print of a guarantee that released the dealer because the odometer read 24,021 credit card people over the 13th straight appearance of the same billing A consumer understandably released his grip on reality and retreated into his dreams. In his reverie, the consumer sought out the car dealer and presented a contract written for the occasion.

The dealer rejected it. ''But sir," the dealer said, We have a standard contract very different from this." The aroused consumer slapped his document down before the dealer. "We consumers are now writing our own contracts," he said. "If you wish to sell me a car," he said, "Read and sign." The dealer read: "When the undersigned consumer, purchase a new car I expect to icceive just that and nothing less. For subsequent repairs that cause me to bring this vehicle to your premises I shall be reimbursed as follows: cents a mile for gasoline used and for wear and tear on vehicle.

for all per sonal time so expended, such compensation to be paid at the hourly rate received by the undersigned in his regular employment. Time and one-half for Saturdays." Still in his dream, flushed with victory, the consumer read his mail. "What's this!" He read a statement, framed i.i red, from a creditor. Obviously disgorged from an automatic machine, it was entitled, "Notice of Payment Due." It began: "Do you know that as a member of the local credit bureau, we are obliged to report all overdue accounts to this association. This means, of course, that; any slow paying record would effect your ability tbtiin The consumer meted eooly and confidently.

"No electronic computer is going to violate my rights," he said to himself. He sat down and wrote: "Dear District Attorney: "Despite repeated attempts on my part to clarify the enclosed bill, I have received no personal response from XYZ Store. Now that my good name is threatened, I consider this than criminal nothing less extortion. He continued to dream. "It's about time we consumers organized for our rights," he told himself.
