I. 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

nar, and African Jewelry dis

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.

6. Don't let children chew
on painted objects on build

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

peared.

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. Tell sisters, brothers and
baby sitters not let children

Summer ia the peak season
for childhood lead poisoning,
I an illnesa that is caused by
I the absorption of excessive
■ amounts of lead into chil
dren's bodies. 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
