Ottawa teachers plan elementary drug course curriculum
Six Ottawa District 290 teachers designed a 45 minute daily two week curriculum for grades 1 to 6 to raise awareness about drug abuse. Funded by a $1500 federal grant, the program uses a coordinated textbook and film strips to teach health, responsible drug use, and alcoholism prevention while avoiding indoctrination. The project aims for later expansion to high school levels with integrated, age appropriate material.

The White House says it worked with Jackson to win over critics while seeking strategic equality and a larger arms control framework. Fulbright remains skeptical as votes loom in House and Senate for the interim agreement and its ceiling limits on offensive weapons.

Senate Defeats Strong Handgun Control Amendments
In Washington the Senate rejected three gun control amendments to a pending bill. An Adlai Stevenson registration and licensing proposal failed 75 to 16, Hart’s ban on private handgun possession failed 84 to 7, and Kennedy’s broad registration of all firearms plus licensing failed 78 to 11. The votes followed the Wallace assassination attempt and aimed to curb gun violence while lawmakers debated long gun registration versus targeted handgun restrictions.

Desegregation Busing Reform Clears House Panel
The House Education and Labor Committee approved a bill to sharply limit court authority in desegregation busing cases, adding inner-city school upgrades and removing provisions to reopen existing orders. It sets guidelines that require other methods first and restrict busing to nearby schools, with strict limits at higher grades. The panel authorized $500 million annually from existing funds and aims for a House floor vote next week.
