Question on Evans remains In Medicare sign jMe on 226 issue up answered Port Angeles Fvening News, Friday, August 5, 7 Meeds proposes amendments to act WASHINGTON, D.C.—Amendments proposed today to the Vocational Education Act of 1966 by Representative Lloyd Meeds would Increase federal funds for vocational education schools In Washington from the present $3,004,660 to $4,320,860, annual- iy.

Another major change proposed ui the law by Meeds would authorize a broad new program to construct and operate residential type schools, Meeds said that such schools would be designed to provide comprehensive training in a large variety of skilled and technical occupations utilizing the latest techniques and equipment. Students would be enrolled on a residential basis for fulltlme study without tuition. Meeds said that he envisioned the residential vocational school program which would be authorized by the legislation as experimental and demonstrative. MEEDS INTEREST IN the legislation was heightened by the Industrial expansion taking place in the Second Congressional District where 15,000 new jobs requiring technical skills w'Jl be available In the next two years alone. In addition to the other funds provided by the act, the approximately $1.2 million allocable to Washington under the residential school provisions would be used to construct and operate such a facility on a pilot basis.

federal funds would act as seed money encouraging states and local governments to provide for such facilities on a broader basis and ni'jre ef. fectively guided by the exper. ience and demonstration of the federal pilot projects," said Meeds. OTHER AMENDMENTS proposed by Meeds today would: (l) Increase funds for the work-study program to afford greater opportunities for needy students to finance technical and vocational school training. (2) Improve the quality and supply of vocational and technical school instructors through a program of in-service teacher training, exchange of personnel with private industry teacher institutes and a fellowsuippro- gram for thr preparation of vocational education teachers and administrators.

Hearings of tha General Subcommittee on Education of which Meeds Is a member are currently In progress. In addition to considering amendments to the Vocational Education Act of 1963, the Subcommittee Is conducting a review of the operation of the entire vocational education program to ascertain the effectiveness of the 1963 legislation, to ascertain the extent to which the states are utilizing job analyses in restructuring vocational education to examine the unmet needs of the 1963 legislation and to deter, mine the effectiveness of the administration of the Vocational Education Act.

When do I enroll in medicare if I'm going to be 65 in the near future or later years? This is a question John Van Sant, social security representative in Port Angeles, receives quite often. Persons who are not yet 65 will have seven months in which to enroll for Medicare, These seven months are the three months before the month they are 65, the month in which they are 65 and the three months after the month in which they are 65.

THE MEDICAL INSURANCE part of the health insurance program, becomes effective on different dates depending on when the application is filed In the seven month period. It is a definite advantage to file in the three-month period before the month of reaching age 65. The medical insurance is then effective with the first day of the month of your 65th birthday. If you apply in the month you are 65 or in the following three months, your medical insurance protection will not begin Immediately, although you have hospital Insurance as soon as you apply. A PERSON WHO IS not yet 65, but who is working or has worked under social security and has not filed an application, should get in touch with the social security office in the three months before he is 65.

In this way you become entitled to the health insurance benefits, even though, because of your work, you may not receive a monthly benefit. Don't worry about your additional earnings; these will be automatically included in refig- uring your benefit rate. The Social Security Administration has always urged those persons who have not filed for benefits to get in touch with them three months before they are 65. Now with Medicare, it is more important to do so. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Social Security office at 125 E.

1st St. in Port Angeles. The office is open every Tuesday and Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. until noon, and is then reopened from 1:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m.

McLaughlin, deputy director, attended the pre-meeting of the Legislative committee of the Association of Realtors Directors July 29-31 at Alderbrook Inn on Hood CanaL The group heard speaker sand panels on Initiative 226, giving facts and figures showing the growth in revenue from the state sales tax; the great increases in funds available to several important state functions as compared with state-collected, locally shared revenues available to cities; the percentage of the total tax dollar available to Washington cities; and the share of the total property tax that cities receive. Realtors are working throughout the state on the Citizens for 25 per cent Amendment and gave their reports.

Mrs. McLaughlin is on this county's committee.

The next meeting will be held during the state convention in the Tri-Cities Sept. 29 through Oct.

Mrs. McLaughlin will be serving on the three member credentials committee for the state. OLYMPIA (AP) Gov. Dan Evans continued to maintain his neutrality Thursday on Initiative 226 to give 10 per cent of the state sales tax to the cities but said the 1967 legislature would study urban problems if the tiative is rejected. "The important thing to re.

member is that this ought not to be a question of either Initi. ative 226 passing and a tax increase or 226 not passing and no support being given to urban communities," the governor said at a news conference. He said even if 226passes, the legislature will still be concerned with theproblemsof unincorporated urban areas, which are not covered by the initiative. Evans said the legislature could take action almost as soon as the initiative could. Evans praised a decision to double the capacity of the Kaiser Aluminum Tacoma plant.

He noted this was the fourth major aluminum plant investment since the 1965 legislature lowered the business and occupation tax in the aluhiinum industry and since a tax write- off on plant expansion and construction was granted. Evans said he did not favor the state constitution to limit governors to two terms. Asked to comment on Idaho's primary Tuesday, Evans said the defeat of Republican Gov. Robert E. Smylie by a ative does not necessarily indicate Evans will face conservative opposition in Washington.

Right wing antagonism has been mentioned as a possible factor In Smylie's defeat. Evans, who has been trying to remove ultra conservative elements from the Washington Republican party, was asked if he felt such antagonism might work against him. "One of the most deceptive things that can be done is to draw conclusions from one election and try to apply them to any other state or any other situation," Evans said. "Local siU uations have a large part to play." The governor said Smylie "reaped the whirlwind of a tax increase" and faced the problem of already having served three terms.
