Mother's Club I Meeting Set For Thursday ONTONAGON A meeting of the Kindergarten Mother's Club will be held Thursday evening, April 10 at the band room of the Junior High School. The band students under the direction of Daniel Guzek will be in charge of the program. Guests at this meeting will be next year's kindergarten mothers. To conclude the meeting, refreshments will be served in the cafeteria. At the previous meeting, Jack R.

White, elementary school principal, spoke on proposed changes in the school program for first graders during the 196970 school year. He explained the new program, now being used to teach second graders, will be expanded to include first and third grade students. This involves dividing students into three ability groups, fast, average and slow learners. Different instructors teach subjects in which they are especially interested as it has been proved this enthusiasm, spreads to the children and gives them a better knowledge of the subject matter. However, as it is felt that first graders are not yet ready to give up the one teacher image, during the first semester they will have only one teacher for all subjects and the program will take effect the second semester.

In conclusion, he said that changes in educational procedures are not made just for "change sake," but are intended to benefit all types of students. Also speaking at the meeting was Mrs. Cecelia Drobeck, Type consultant with the Gogebic- Ontonagon Intermediate School District. Her talk concerned the ABC's of discipline.

Interest Errors Delay Refunds DETROIT Questionable interest deductions slowed down the processing of hundreds of thousands of refund claims last year, A. M. Steepler, district director of Internal Revenue for Michigan, said today. In some cases an examination of the interest deduction uncovered an error which meant additional taxes to be paid.

In others, the return was accepted as filed, but the refund was delayed by the time required to examine the interest deduction. Taxpayers planning to claim an interest deduction on their 1968 federal tax return should be sure to read the instructions carefully to avoid errors and refund delays, Steepler advised. For taxpayers who itemize deductions, the interest paid on a home mortgage, a bank loan or debt may be deducted if the taxpayer is legally responsible for the payment. Interest paid for another person is not deductible, Stoepler said. A common case where an interest deduction is disallowed is when a parent makes a mortgage payment for his children.

The parent's claim for an interest deduction is disallowed unless the home is in his name. Mailbag Is Crowded With Some Odds, Sods By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP) Things a columnist might never know if he didn't open his mail: A typical U.S. family of four now eats 2Va tons of food yearly --so no wonder many of us need to go on a diet. Teen-agers who like to study with the radio or phonograph going full blast may have the right idea. London psychiatric experimenters found that while noise makes it harder to concentrate, those who do learn under noisy conditions can later recall what they learned better than those who study in a quiet atmosphere.

Fewer schoolteachers today have to moonlight at another job in order to make ends meet. The national average for classroom teachers now is $7,900, up nearly $600 from a year ago.

They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders, and they love to chatter instead of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room.

They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up their food and tyrannize their techers." Do you know who said that? Socrates, who died in 399 B.C.

People who are too lazy or low in I.Q. to win legitimate fame, often try to get notoriety by doing shocking things. They are emotionally immature, so should be wearing diapers with their beads! CASE J-561: William P. Cooke is a former Ohio teacher and school board member. "Dr.

Crane," he told me, "I interviewed 93 state finalists at our Ohio Academy of Science Exhibition. "And the results certainly offer some favorable teen-age publicity. "These finalists came from all the 4 years of senior high, as Freshmen 19; Sophomores, 20; Juniors, 27; Seniors, 27." Then Prof. Cooke gave the following data, which will show that the hippies are merely a minority group of grandstand- ers, hoping to usurp newspaper headlines and television expos ure. Of these young high school scientists, had never smoked and had never drunk alcoholic beverages! Which shows that television ads must not influence greatly the "thinking" teen-ag- ers, though they stampede the "sheep," for a recent medical report stated that 4,500 new teen-agers get hooked every day on the cigaret habit, (1,600,000 yearly)!

Bergenthal was convicted Sunday of slaying a wealthy business associate with a pistol he said he had purchased for protection after viewing scenes of street violence on television. The Circuit Court jury which convicted him of murder was told to reconvene today for a trial to determine whether he was sane at the time of slaying. He had pleaded innocent, and innocent by reason of insanity.

Bergenthal, 47, who took the stand Saturday, faces a mandatory life term in prison on the murder conviction, but could be paroled in less than 12 years. If committed to a state mental institution, he could be discharged after a court hearing or on the recommendation of the hospital. Bergenthal had been a patient at a private Oconomowoc hospital since being returned to Milwaukee from California, where he surrendered to authorities the day after Russell D. L. Wirth, 62, was shot to death Sept.

20 in the Wirth's fashionable home. Mrs. Wirth, 61, was wounded during what she described as a quarrel between her husband and Berganthal. An attempted murder charge also was filed against Bergan- thal concerning the wounding of Mrs. Wirth, but he was found guilty early Sunday by the Circuit Court jury of a reduced charge of endangeiing safety by conduct regardless of life.

It might make another interesting survey assignment for a class in high school psychology to contrast the dropouts with the honor students on such items as how many carried newspaper routes to earn their own money. Also, how many had been active members in Boy or Girl Scouts, 4-H Clubs, Camp Fire Girls, the Band, Glee Club and on athletic teams. Likewise, compare the hippies and other "show off" types with those same stable groups of teen-agers. In my rather wide experience with delinquents, dropouts and hippies I find that you can prepare a psychological "profile" of such teen-age failures, as follows: (1) They more likely come from broken homes.

(2) They've been given a cash allowance instead of having to earn their own money. (3) They feel socially below par because they haven't attained reasonable success in sports, band, glee club, scholarship, etc. (4) They eagerly adopt cig- arets, liquor, drugs and other taboo items to gain a little of the limelight they have failed to earn through legitimate channels. (5) They race their cars; gun the motors excessively, and try to shock their girl friends by violating the usual codes or fashions.

His father, he said, "grieved and became bitter." Berganthal said he hadn't visited the Wirth home for 10 years until the night of the shooting. He said he carried a pistol he lad purchased after watching broadcasts of the violence surrounding last year's Democratic National Convention. Bergenthal said he could not clearly remember the events surrounding the Wirth "I am not sure exactly what was said," he testified.
