Phone 581-2700 OPEN TODAY, NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY Pocket Calculator OK Tax Law May In These Classrooms CAPE GIRARDEAU, The pocket calculator has earned its place in the classroom and is here to stay in the opinion of Cape Girardeau teachers. These miniature computers, handling in a few seconds the mathematical chores that once took several minutes, have grown more and more common as their costs have declined.

"I feel that in the future, when I'm gone from education, a calculator will be a part of every student's desk and sit in the corner much like the old inkwell," said Charles C. Clippard, principal of Hawthorn Elementary School. He said pupils in the elementary grades are not encouraged to use calculators until they have mastered the basic skills of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. "There is a time they must be put away so everyone can learn the basics, but once the skills are mastered they are allowed to use them again, Clippard said. He said elementary-grade children have not brought them to -3WVNSM3N Siucaau Ttcat PORK TENDERLOI school, but some use them at home.

At Cape Girardeau Central High School, Everett Plunk, math teacher sees a continuing growth in the role calculators will play in mathematics, primarily because their cost is on the decline. Some can now be bought for less than $20, but can cost more than $100 depending on their sophistication. Calculators, says Miss Marcia Bosma, freshman math teacher, "help lake the drudgery out of computation." "The way I feel about it is that a lot of people hate math because they have to spend their time doing things they could be doing faster on a calculator. Many kids are more interested in math now that they know they can use a calculator and ease the drudgery." But, she said, she does not think they should be used before the ninth-grade level. Before that, she said, pupils should develop basic skills of computation.

Teachers in the high schools say they allow use of the pocket equipment on tests if most other pupils have access to them. Sister Joan Andert of Notre Dame High School in Cape Girardeau said, "The only time it is prohibited if there are not enough available for everyone to be able to get them." At Southeast Missouri State University Dr. Harold Hager, head of the mathematics department, said use of calculators is encouraged in math and finance courses because they save time. Marshall Is Better WASHINGTON (AP) Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall is reported making good progress toward recovery from pneumonia. Marshall, 66, was hospitalized Tuesday night.

"Those attending Mr. Justice Marshall at Bethesda Naval Hospital say that his recovery is progressing very satisfactorily," a spokesman for the court said Friday. The court reconvenes Tuesday after a three-week recess with only seven members on J.i-luv Willian, ft Reward Buyers Of Small Cars WASHINGTON (AP) 'A group of House Democrats is considering a proposal to reward new car buyers who choose models that get good gasoline mileage and punish those who pick gas guzzlers. Rep. Jim Wright, said Friday an excise tECx could be put on cars which get less than, for instance, 18 miles per gallon and a refund in the form of a price cut could be made to buyers choosing cars getting better than 18 miles per gallon.

Wright, leader of a party task force preparing package of energy proposals, expressed hope the plan would be ready for House consideration by early March. The package would be an alternative to President Ford's proposals, which are based on increasing fuel prices as a way of lowering consumption. The full House and the Senate Finance Committee have voted to block the first part of the administration program, a tariff on imported oil. In an effort to answer this criticism, Democratic taslc forces in both houses are working on a proposed energy program. The party task force in the Senate is expected to recommend a program based around an increase in the gasoline tax.

Wright said the House panel has discussed a spread of up to $1,000 between the maximum excise tax on gas guzzlers and the rebate on the most economical cars. He said another probable recommendation is a tax on gasoline to reduce nonessential driving. He said the gasoline tax might start at 8 cents a gallon this year, go up to 12 cents next year and 16 cents the following year. Each family would be rebated, probably once a year, the tax on what would be calculated to be the average gasoline needed for essential driving, such as 40 gallons'a month. While details of the proposal are still sketchy, Wright said the cost of higher gasoline would be vastly lower to consumers than the estimated $740 a year which Democrats calculate each faiiiih v.i,iij<!.
