First Kindergarten Experience of Child Claimed Important MEDFOHD MAIL TH1BUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON FRIDAY. MAY 10. 1S63 By DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist From now until September thousands of youngsters will be registered in public and private kindergartens. School requirements and procedures vary. It you have any ques tions concerning procedure, do not hesitate to check with the school oiiice. Although many children have attended nursery schools, the kindergarten experience is most important. It normally is the first exposure to the regular school program. A good experience can set the stage for success in the follow ing years. Schools often arrange an or ientation for parents and-or children. If a program exists, make sure you attend. Your knowledge of the school's pro cedures and the helpful sug gestions you will receive may avoid many unpleasant inci dents. Parents Sometimes Object At times parents may ob ject to a school requirement and therefore do not comply. Unintenionally, they are put ting their child in a difficult situation. Kindergarten chil dren should not be placed in a position where their parents want them to disregard a school rule. The result will be unpleasant. If a parent ob jects to a procedure, he should talk to- the teacher or princi pal without involving the children.

Children should not be exposed to a parent's dissatisfaction with the school program. Children are verv impressionable, especially in relation to their parents. They should not develop poor atti tudes towards school. Changes in me scnool program should be brought about by bringing the suggestion to the attention oi the teachers and principal Check on Ponibililv It is also possible that some schools do not have organized orientations. In such cases parents should investigate the possibility of having one. Per haps the PTA can make the arrangements. As a parent you can elimi nate some problems by plan ning ahead. Make sure your child knows the route, to school. Many trips between now and September will make the route familiar and less frightening. Similarly visits to .he building and classroom vill be helpful. Discuss vith your child the many wonderful activities in which he will participate. En courage him but do not be come so anxious that he will be disappointed or fearful of what will be happening. Anti-Obscenity Law Revision Approved Salem - (UPI) - A revision of the Oregon anti-obscenity law was approved by the House today with only 11 dissenting votes. The House-passed measure, however, differed widely from the bill that cleared the Sen ate earlier. It will have to re turn to the Senate in an effort to iron out differences. Two law enforcement of ficers warned that the House passed version contains "loop- holes ' that will make it in effective and perhaps unconstitutional. The Senate version was brief, leaving it up to a jury to define obscene matter. The House Judiciary Com mittee rewrote the bill, adding definitions of obscene matter, and adding certain "defenses" where a person would be in nocent under the law.

Riverside 772-6208 80 Per Cent of 'Radiation Burden' Carried in Bones By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York-IUPD-Science now has reason to believe the hu man being carries 80 per cent of his natural "radiation bur den" in his bones and the re maining 20 per cent In "soft tissues," such as his muscles, liver and intestines. In ages past this had no im portance whatever but in this radiation age when the hu man being is subjected to man-made additions to his natural burden, such as from fall-out, x-rays and conceiv ably from leaky nuclear reac tors, it could become a crit ical matter. The natural burden origi nates from the radioactive minerals in the earth and from cosmic rays. They have always gotten into man and into all other living things. If the extremely minute amounts were harmful, life couldn't have flourished the way it has. Makes Difference When you start calculating how large a "radiation bur den" people can carry with out damage, you have to take into account this natural bur den which they can't avoid. It makes a difference whether the radiation they're getting from within comes from their bones or their "soft tissues." Radioactive substances tak en up into soft tissues have more chance of getting elim inated more quickly than those in the skeleton. The present international standard for "permissable" radiation dosage asumes 99 per cent of the natural burden is lodged in the bones. Prof. John B. Hursh and Ar vin Lovaas of the University of Rochester, N. Y., did some extremely intricate and sen sitive measuring of human bones and a variety of "soft tissues." They were measuring the natural burden of radium- 226. It is an isotope of radium and in trace amounts gets around. It is in some drinking water and it is in grasses. People and animals drink wa ter and people eat the flesh of animals which have eaten the grasses. That's how it gets deposited in the human being. Radium-226 was taken to be an index of the natural bur den and the difficult and ad mittedly challenging calcula tions assigned 80 per cent of it to bones. This was in con trast to the 99 per cent of ficially assigned and to calcu lations of other scientists that put the bone-amount down as low as 27 per cent. Aware of Difficulties The scientists were sharply aware of the difficulties in volved in measuring radium content which is very slowly accumulated by way of food and drink. They even granted it "is perhaps reasonable to assume the "soft tissues" will get more of continuing doses than bone, and so more will get eliminated. You can't inject large amounts of radium into peo ple to see how their tissues and bones deal with it and what their chemistry does with It. For that reason sci ence may never know the pre cise answers. Rats have been so injected, and then killed at varying times after the in jections to measure radioac tive content. These experiments Indicate an 80 per cent bone and a 20 per cent soft tissue division. The trouble, the scientists said, is that rats and dogs and people all excrete radium in different patterns and you can't with confidence depend on rats for the facts. Economic Education Workshop Slated Eugene - A four-week eco nomic education workshop, designed to improve the eco nomic knowledge of high school social studies teachers and to develop instructional materials and techniques for the high school program, will be offered at the University of Oregon this summer. The workshop, offered by the university department of economics and the Oregon Council on Economic Educa tion with the University's Summer Session, will be un der the direction of Dr. J. O. McClintic, professor of eco nomics at San Diego Slate college.

Edited by Mrs. Alma Denny. (Copyright by General Feature. Corp.) A 7 Mrs. J. E.-If I sell my homo I'll have to move in with my son. Mr. B.T.- With such a big mortage, she has no choice. Mrs. J. E. - My husband died suddenly a month ago. Though I am still stunned, my precarious financial plight is forcing me to make a fast de cision. There's no insurance and my savings account Is down to $8,000. I have a $20,000 house with an $8,000 mortage which I'd like to rent and live over the garage. My brother says sell the house for Income and move to my son's home in Ohio. Mr. B. T. - Jane is 63. She could have a comfortable life if she'd listen to me. Renting that house is rldiculous-the mortage is much too big. By the time she made payments on mortage, taxes and repairs, she'd go broke. She has an offer of $18,000 for it. That, plus her savings at 4 per cent interest will give her a nuc leus of an income. Her son Is eager to provide a home for her. Selling makes sense. The Councili-The wrenches pile up for Mrs. E. with Mr. T's "solution," and we can understand her hesitancy. Close upon the wrench of sep aration from her home, from her friends, her hometown, and worst of all, her status as homemakcr. Let's see if there's a chance to keep some thing the same . . . Hard headed estate advisors agree with Mr. T. that the heavily mortgaged home should be sold. His advice about invest ing the proceeds and past sav ing in a high-interest bank or loan association would bring her about $61 a month. To Increase that into an Income which will permit her to stay in town, we suggest: (1) check ing with Social Security to see if she's entitled to bene fits, (2) a Job, (3) doubling up with a local friend . . .Moving in with her son or enteilng a Residence Home may be items on her "Someday-but-not-yet" list. Ashland Man Pleads Guilty in Court Leo John Langlols, 52, of 205 Greensprlng rd., Ashland, pleaded guilty In . Jackson county district court Thurs day to a charge of assault and battery. , The charge grew out of an incident in which Lester Ha zelwood said he was struck by Langlois. Bail was set at $100 and sentencing will be scheduled later. 1 1 t: Is it proper to call for Gordon's by name in English Pubs? It's not a matter of being proper. It's unnecessary. For when most Englishmen ask for gin, they expect to get Cordon's. After all, its distinctive dryness and deli cate flavour have been a part of English life for 194 years. Americans, however, have been enjoying Gordon's for a somewhat shorter ' span of time. So It Is wise(and proper)to spe cify Cordon's by name. Your first sip of a Cordon's martini will tell you why it's the big gest selling gin over here as well as In England and the rest of the world. $450 $280 4iQT.
