Carey, executive assistant di- rector of the Bureau of the Budget. This Information was included in a letter from Mr. Carey to Cente r Moriche s resident Fred W. Marquardt , secretary of the Holiday Beach Property Owne rs Association , who had earlier written to the President urging that the se funds be Included ln the budget. Mr. Carey ' s letter stated; \Thank you for your letter of December 5 , 1964 , to the President urging that funds be Included ln the 1966 budget to Initiate preconstructlon plan- ning of Moriche s Inlet. Work on the final stage s of budget for- mulation has prevented an earlier reply. \The President has been faced with the difficult task of as- signing priorities—deferring, restricting, or rej ecting some pro- grams ln arriving at decisions for the next year ' s budget. It has not been possible to provide for a number of starts. \I regret that because of these considerations , the President has not been able to include funds In the 1966 budget for the Moriches Inlet project. \We shall continue to keep your Interest in mind in connec- tion with any future consideration of this project. \ Word had been received earlier by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that they were considering the project for inclusion into the Fiscal Year 1966 budget. This budget would go into effect starting July 1966 and run till July 1967 . Hope had been expressed by those striving to have the pro- ject scheduled and funds authorized that the project might be included ln the current budget , Mr. Carey ' s letter eliminates that hope , however. Dist. 32 Modern Math Course Has 80 Students Now to its fourth week of an eight week session , the \ modern math\ course for parents of Union Free School District #32 , Shirley, has an enrollment of over 80 enthusiastic \ students '* . The course is being given to help orient parents to tbe new methods of math Instruction in the el- ementary and high school so that they can better understand the work that the students are doing In their classes. Thus far . dis- cussions have covered tbe basis for the sew math , ancient systems of numeration * changes In vocab- ulary, base systems , and sets and their uses through the grades. Donald Jacobs , instructor of tbe course and a teacher at Nathaniel Woodhull School , de- scribed the ancient systems of numeration and pointed out the ways in which our decimal system was derived. The parents were interested in the different base systems , and were avidly com- puting many arithmetic op- erations in base 5. Vocabulary such as number sentences , com- mutative , associative , and dis- tributive laws , sets and subsets , union end intersection of sets , greater than and less than , and additive and multiplicative In- verses , Is being used te describe the \ modern math , \ and the parents can now understand mis new language their children are using. The parents who have attended the course have been enthusiastic and receptive to the new ideas being taught. Mr. Jacobs stated that he Is pleased with the par- ticipation and responsiveness of the group, and feels that In under- standing the concepts of \ modern math\ , the parents will be better equipped to discuss the math with their children. Parents have said that they are finally learning \ the reasons why \ of the arithmetic they did in school and more fully understand the basic concepts of mathematics. Because the district Is In the process of determining which ' modern mam \ program to in- stitute , and many teachers are using various programs in the classrooms , questionnaires were sent out to parents of district children last October to deter- mine the amount of interest in a math course for parents. The response was excellent , and preparations were made; the course was begun ln January wish Mr. Jacobs as fee instructor. Mr. Jacobs was the recent re- cipient of a National Science Foundation grant to study \ modern mam. \ He spent seven weeks mis past summer at tie University of Vermont , Burling- ton , In an Intensive study of the basic concepts of math , and the new methods of instruction. He has just finished an Intensive course for elementary teachers at Nathaniel Woodhull School , and will begin another course for the other half of the faculty in February.

Eugene Johnson , Jr. of Center Moriches is the regenl of Suffolk Chapter , Daughters of the American Revolution . \Suf- folk Chapter has a membership of HO members and unless one realizes the scope of the work done by the DAR , one cannot visualize the large am ount of work the regent has to do , \ a club spokesman said this week. \Before we discuss Suffolk' s specific role , a little about the National Society.

This necessitates chairmen of each of these committees and reports to the National Society which the regent is responsible for. Suf- folk Chapter owns its own Chap- ter House and is well endowed , which means more work for the regent and her boa rd.
