The Senate passed bill provides Viet Nam veterans with up to $720 a year to finance their tuition costs in college or technical school, and it allows them to borrow up to $2,000 a year to meet educational expenses. It also raises the subsistence allowance to Viet Nam veterans from $220 a year to $260 a year. The bill is currently hung up in the House Affairs Committee, Veterans where some committee members are objecting to the tuition payments because they fear they will be abused.

It is still intrinsically tied to ability to pay. Moss noted that the original $3 monthly payment required of seniors who choose to have physician's charges covered has to $6.70 a jumped month. The Senator noted that in 1966 Medicare patients paid the first $40 of their hospital bills, but the requirement is now $84, a increase. Today seniors pay an average of $303 a year out of their own pockets which is $69 more than the average aged person paid the year before Medicare was enacted, said Moss.

Father Fransisco Atanasio Dominguez and Silvestre Velez de Escalante were the leaders of the group. Upon their departure from Santa Fe the company consisted of ten men to others joined on August 14, 1776. Three Indian Guides served from time to time. Primary objective of the expedition was to open a line of communication between the Spanish settlements of New Mexico and Monterey, California on a course that would avoid the desert regions of Arizona and the Grand Canyon of Colorado.

All you need are a few basic tools and good instructions. A good place for a novice mechanic to start is with an oil and oil filter change. You will need a wrench to take out the drain bolt on the oil pan and a pan to catch the old oil. An inexpensive filter wrench for removing the common screw-o- n oil filters is a worthwhile investment. Make sure your car is parked on level ground, securely blocked and with the parking brake fully set. The engine should be warm so old oil doesn't stick around to contaminate the new oil. Crawl underneath and unscrew the drain plug frbm the. engine oil pan. While the oil is draining into any catch pan, remove the oil filter, drain the oil from it and toss the filter into a trash can. When the oil has finished draining, put the drain plug back TIGHTLY but not so tightly as to strip the threads. Re member how tight it was? Mako it just that tight again. Wipe the area where the filter fits with a clean doth. Now use your finger to spread some new engine oil around the gasket of the new filter and screw it on hand tight, then use the filter wrench to give it another turn. Add the correct quantity of motor oil to the engine, in accordance with the owners manual, and check with the dipstick. Don't be surprised if it is slightly above the full mark-t- he new filter will absorb at least a pint of oil once the engine is started. Run the engine for about five minutes and don't accelerate above an idle until the oil warning light has been out for several seconds. After the oil has circulated through the engine, switch off the ignition, dicck underneath for leaks, then recheck the dipstick level to make sure its up to full. Clean up, take an old funnel, pour the drained oil from your catch pan into plastic milk jugs, and haul them to a gas station for disposal. three-quarte- rs |
