Derek Johnson, was the you n gest member of the press covering the National Education Association Con vention, representing Black Teenagers Journal BTS. My first impression upon enter ing the Memorial Coliseum was who in the world was feeding this multitude of people. I was ushered over to the Black Caucus meeting where heated discussions were taking place. This was the first experience of wit nessing actions from the adult level. There was an election of officers going on, and there were angry debates from the floor being aired over the microphone con cerning qualifications and in criminations. Mrs. Laurie Wynn, National Chairman, was questioning the legality of her opponent, Mr. Palmer, who upseated her positon on the Black Caucus agenda. Many of the educators were dismayed over the immature disposition displayed by Mrs. Wynn. Following the caucus there was a book sale. Black Teaching Techniques Semi nar, and African Jewelry dis play. The President of the National Education Assoria tion called on the nation's 2.1 million elementary and secondary public teachers to step up their activities in the political arena and elect con gressmen who are advocates of public education in the 1974 national elections. Mrs. Catherine Barrett told 9,000 delegates to the Assoria tion's Annual Convention that "Teachers can. and will, in fluence elections statewide." My first impression of Vice President and President elect Jim Harris left a memorable impression on this young writer. Jim Harris' first priority is for the presidency to lead the entire member ship, not just special interest groups. Mr. Harris has been a classroom teacher in Des Moines, Iowa for 20 years. He is currently on the NEA Board of Directors and he highly qualifies with a wide range of experience in leader ship positions on local, state and national levels.

These can contain high amounts of lead. These areas include porch or balcony railings, strips of paint off walls, or paint on junk or rubbish which may be lying outside a building before disposal. If a child lives in an older house or building and has been seen chewing painted surfaces or eating paint chips or plaster, the Association urges im m ediate medical examination, even if no lead poisoning symptoms have ap peared.

Lo w -C a/or/e Banana Sherbet MY-TE-FINE Homestyle ( Kodak CX 126-20 nail) eaten earh week over a period of about three months can cause lead poisoning. The Association suggests that parents be alert to the symptoms of lead poisoning. Symptoms include: stomach aches, irritability or easy tiring, los of appetite, consti pation, and frequent vomit ing. If a rhild has one or more of these symptoms for more than a short period of tim e, im m ediate medical examination is recommended. Early detection is the key to preventing permanent phy sical damage. When lead poisoning is caught early, says NPCA, it can be treated and cured. Parents are cautioned by the paint industry to take the following steps to pre vent childhood lead poison •ng: 1. Sweep any peeling paint off walls, woodwork and ceil ing with a stiff brush or broom. Then, be sure to throw all loose pieces away. 2. Keep looking for new paint chips and peeling paint. Sweep them away before children can get them. Keep ing the lower parts of walls free of peeling paint is most important This is where children can reach it most easily. 3. Don't let children chew on woodwork, stair railings or other places which have been painted even if the paint isn't flaking. 4. Give children safe things to chew crusts of bread, toys made for chewing. 5.

Lead poison ing can cause permanent mental retardation, brain damage, blindness or even death. The N ^ on al Paint and Coatings Wsovnation (NPCA) is warning parents of the increased lead poisoning hazard during the summer season as part of a national “Community Awareness" pro gram. The Association points out that medical statistics show a sharp increase in lead poisoning cases during the months May through Sep tember. According to NPCA, one of the causes of lead poisoning is the ingestion of old. pre World War II leaded paints, containing up to 50% white lead. These paints can still be found on the walls of buildings, especially in inner city areas. If this old paint begins to peel it can be eaten by children and cause lead poisoning. Children under age six are the most fre quent victims of this illness, especially toddlers between 12 months and 36 months of age. This is an age of exploration for most children and many will put non food substances in their mouths. Lead poisoning can occur in a child if only small amounts of lead are taken into the body Just a few small lead chips (approx! mately the size of a finger 3 22H 0 2 Loaves .^ 1 00 ■ 34' eoch Mokes marvelous toast with a delicious crisp crust M e n 's C rew Sox 59 89 2 I b $100 Pair I Cotton terry crews and athletic crews.
