THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER pArF y SATURDAY, OCTOBiR 14, 197S •

E. LORRAYNE CLEMONS Pretty as a picture and more yet the mother of two. No one would take Ms. E. Lorrayne Clemons for a correctional officer yet that’s exactly what she is--at least according to a recent appointment with the Women’s Work Release Center. Tm interested in people and the correctional center," says the beautiful officer. “I love working with people, especially

those with problems. They need help more. “It took a long time. I started out with a business interest, but it’s so broad and I wanted to be special." She’ll admittedly have her hands full in the new position, but then she’s full of confidence. “I realize a lot of people think I’m extremely feme nine and timid, but I can be firm when necessary.” She’s hopeful she won’t have to be. Ms. Clemons interest in law can be traced back to a sister. Attorney Alyce Maedors, and a one time correctional justice enthusiast brother who’s now supervisor for a dispatch company. One son, Kris, has expressed interest in the field, while the other, Deon, 7, insists firmly, he wants to be a pilot. Both are students at St. Andrews. Husband Steven is busy in California checking out opportunities in the business field. Our subject is no slouch either. She’s held positions in the business field and found “they didn’t suit me.” She was also brainy enough to tour the Women’s FVison and Girls School before taking the job.

unique program developed to encourage young people to read books of their own choice for their own enjoyment. At the same time, the children obtain sponsors who pledge a small amount of money for each book read. Registered students are called “Mystery Sleuths" because they are helping to find the cause and a cure for the mystery of MS. To date over $7 million has been collected by these young readers.

HELPFUL HINTS _ ABOUT INFANTS v//f t ( l \^

Q. I’m confused about what to feed my expected infant. What do doctors recommend?

A. Most physicians have found that human milk or an iron-fortified infant formula is best to , feed a newborn baby through the first year. These are specially designed to help infants grow properly, unlike cow’s milk, which is intended for calves. During a baby’s first year, many of the vital organs are increasing in size. To support this growth, a baby needs adequate amounts of protein and iron.

Your can find out • with a simple test devised by an education specialist who directs the Hillside Psychological Guidance Center in Queens Village, N.Y. * “A comparison of your child’s competency against what he or she should be expected to be doing at his grade level will give a parent some clue as to whether the child is achieving what he or she should at each level,” explained Dr. Herbert Hoffman. “If your child is in the sixth grade, say, ask him the quiz questions for that level. If he does well, go on to the seventh and eighth grade level. If not, go back to the fifth, fourth or possibly even the third grade level- to whichever level he can answer the questions. This way, you’ll know how the child is doing. Here's Dr. Hoffman’s quiz: PLEASE INSERTS WHfcKE, INDICATED ON COPY GRADES 1 AND 2 1.

enough left to buy a car that cost 4,650 and a TV set that cost $356? If not how much money would he be short? If the answer is yes, how much would , he have left? > GRADES7AND8 1. Ask your child to read a book review in a newspaper and then write a report at least one page long based on what he had read. Examine the written report and check for errors and content. (The main ideas should be well paraphrased and there should be no more than three errors of any kind). 2. Ask him to solve the following problems: If a pound of butter costs $1.19, how much would the butter cost in a cake calling for a quarter of a pound? If gasoline costs 69 cents a gallon, and you are driving a car that gets 19 miles to the gallon, how much would it cost to drive from Washington to New York? (The child should look up any required informa tion himself). GRADES 9 AND 10 1. Ask the child to write an original story giving the details of some recent personal experience.
