First Kindergarten
Experience of Child
Claimed Important

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.

Parents' attitudes also are
important. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.
