The Green Sign Ordinarily, when we are given ‘the green sign” it means for us to go ahead, to start up, to procede. Sometimes, however, we do not see the green light, and remain stopped. This month the state board of health published the startling fact that you and I, our youngsters, and our neighbors, are only half-safe from smallpox. On their map, Adams County is colored green — less than 70% of the first-grade children are vaccinated. Smallpox is a dreadful disease. About 30% of those who contact it, dies from it. The rest left pockmarked, dibilitated, branded for life. There is no cure for it, no treatment. Yet no one need get it. There have been no cases of it in Adams county for many years. Why? Because the disease that once took hundreds of lives in this area each winter can be prevented by a simple, painless vaccination. Ah, but “out of sight is out of mind”! Few of this generation have even seen a smallpox case, or heard of the suffering that attends it. So, instead of getting children vaccinated, we “save” a few dollars, and let it slide by, soon forgetting whether it has or has not been done. The Indiana state board of health points out this month that among those little children entering school for the first time in Adams county this year, less than 70% were immunized against smallpox. No one is going to come to your home and order you to have yourself, or your children vaccinated — not, at least, until it’s almost too late, and several in the area have come down with it. The spread of a disease is directly proportionate to the number who can catch it. When a population has 80% immunization, an epidemic is impossible. Smallpox immunization should be given at the earliest possible time — your physician is the best judge for your own individual child. No parent can afford to neglect his child’s interest by putting off his inoculations have you checked with your doctor to make certain that you and your family are immune to as many diseases — such as smallpox, diphtheria, polio, tetanus, and whoooping cough —as is now possible? Let’s heed the green sign, and do something about it. editorial Writer Today Dick D. Heller, Jr.

You, Your Child And The School

Bt DAVID NYDICK UPI Education Specialist Correct spelling is important in many areas of our daily life. Our language has many confusing words for the child, such as “to, too, two”. If your child seems mixed up, he has good reason. Learning to spell takes an organized effort. Good study habits combined with desirable attitudes are essential. If the trouble is limited to spelling, the cure is probably in the area of improved attitudes and study methods. If other difficulties are involved, your approach should be broader. The basis may be physical or emotional. Special attention should be paid to vision, hearing, and speech. The development of attitudes such as interest, confidence, and the urge to spell correctly are more desirable than the effect of competition and school mhrks. Spend some time helping * him to understand the importance of correct spelling. This can be done by discussing some purposes of writing. It is for communication. When either he or someone else looks at the writing, they should be able to read it easily. Proper spelling is one key. Good penmanship is another which is closely related, and will be discussed in a future article. Efforts should be concentrated on words which the child uses regularly. These can be determined by checking his notebook, homework and other written material. Pick those words which have been misspelled. Once specific words have been

Love and Merry Christmas, The Morrisons. Dear Santa Claus, I would like a watch and a flute and a marble game. Thank you for everything you brought me last year. We moved. Gary Painter. Senegalese Troops Seize Parliament DAKAR, Senegal (UPD—Troops of the Senegalese national gendarmerie took over the parliament building today and forcibly ejected all legislators from the building. The troops surrounded the building and burst into the conference room as debate was about to start on a censure motion against the government of Premier Mahmadou Dia. Their move prevented action on the censure motion. Except for one opposition member, all the parliamentary deputies at the meeting were members of the ruling Senegalese Progressive Union Party. When ordered to leave the building, they refused and were ejected by the troops. (In Paris, French telephone officials said all telephone communications with Senegal had been cut.) The Senegalese Progressive Union, the governing party to which 79 of the 89 National Assembly deputies belong, prepared a motion last Friday protesting against provisions of a state of emergency and demanding resignation of Dia. The motion was signed by 40 deputies. In accordance with constitutional rules, National Assembly President Lamine Gueye had suspended the session until today.

identified, there are several steps to be taken in studying each. These are: look at the word; pronounce the word correctly; use the word in a sentence; look at the word saying the letters in order; close the eyes and spell the 'word; write the word two or three times checking its correctness each time. There are other possibilities and variations. In any case, the idea is to have an orderly approach using vision, writing, and thought. Another important aspect is the learning of rules. Although our language has many irregularities, spelling rules are very helpful. There are many exceptions but the majority of words follow the rules. Practice and continued usage of learned words are necessary. This can be accomplished through regular writing which will normally include these words. Games can also be valuable aids. Rules and some games may be found in spelling or language books. Games can be purchased or made up by you and your child. Aid in spelling can show immediate results. Make your child aware of his needs. Criticism should not be extensive. You only want to show that a problem exists. Follow this by helping him to correct the difficulty. He will be encouraged by his success. Spelling is a subject which is comparatively simple to teach. You should not hesitate to assist your child. Work on attitudes and study methods in order to be successful.
