Doctor urges youth
to watch food intake
PITTSBURGH (AP) - When children and adolescents
have high blood pressure, they should be educated to watch
their own food intake outside the home because "our culture
and our ideas about nutrition are built around food that can
tains salt.” '
That warning came at a medical symposium here from Dr
Malcolm A. Holliday, professor of pediatrics at the
University of California School of Medicine, San Francisco
He added that losing excess pounds helps people with high
blood pressure, ‘probably by decreasing the resistance of
the patients' blood vessels to blood-flow from the heart
"Watching the diet helps the whole family to work together
in combating high blood pressure, which has a well known
tendency to run in families," Dr. Holliday told physicians

soon realized many students didn’t
know what a bookkeeper did. “That’s
like Mrs Teasley - she keeps the
books," the third graders guessed. Mrs.
Teasley is the school bbrarian.
Another communications gap was
quickly corrected The counselor
discovered “your family tree" meant to
third graders, “where the tree-house
is" - “the one with the swing on it"
. . or “the one in the backyard.” After
the “other" family tree was explained,
the students were introduced to a Job
• Tree, which furthered career
awareness by providing branches for
the occupations of each student’s
family members and relatives.
STEVE ARMSTRONG, also an
elementary guidance associate,
believes the starting point for career
education * each student’s perception
of himself and the world of work.
Armed with knowledge of himself and
information about the occupations
which interest him, the student will be
better equipped to choose a career for
himself.
And for the kids not interested in their
schoolwork, career education
stimulates these to think about what
they need to learn to be prepared for the
job they want k helps answer the
question: “What good will learning this
ever do me?"
Working with sixth graders in Mrs
Turner’s class, Armstrong encouraged
students to cut out newspaper Help
Wanted” ads far jobs requiring
knowledge of math
Newspapers were also used by the
sixth graders to find articles related to
careers to which they were interested.
"At this level," Armstong said, “we
introduce the 15 career clusters into
which the more than 30,000 jobs in the
United States are grouped and try to
stimulate the students interest in
several occupations.”
The most popular career booklet in
this class was related to caring for
animals. Health occupations, child
care, and athletics followed.
An evident knowledge gap was in the
field of marketing and distribution.
“The sixth graders knew very little
about it,” Armstrong said, “so we
Throughout the school year, career
education activities continue, utilizing
resources such as videotapes produced
within the school by students, locally-
produced 4-H career awareness
programs which feature accompanying
tele-lessons correlating available
reference materials to each oc-
cupational cluster, and commercially
produced programs such to Bread and
Butterflies, which can be viewed from
videotapes or on Channel 11.
Career centers are being set up in
school libraries to provide up-to-date
materials on occupational trends and
opportunities
School personnel are slated to
become stars at Woodrow Wilson, as
occupations of principal, teacher,
secretary, policeman, nurse, cook and
cashier become subjects of videotapes
From the community, people will be
invited to talk about their occupations
in a "What's My Line?" format
Self-aw areness and career-
awareness are the foundation for later
career exploration and career
preparation, and the personal
satisfactions resulting from being food

Toy makers clean up
WASHINGTON CUPD—Government experts believe toys
for sale this Christmas season will be safer than ever,
although they admit the job of protecting children from dan-
gerous playthings is still not finished.
For the second year in a row the Consumer Product Safety
Commission has decided not to publish its list of banned toys
Nor will * send volunteer consumer deputies into stores, as it
once did, to hunt hazards before they fall into childrens”
hands
The reason, the agency says, is that the toy industry has
largely cleaned itself up.
In addition, the banned list, last published R 1974 with
nearly 2,000 dangerous toys on it, was always suspect of
being out of date and confusing, according to the com-
mission.
One year ago, when the agency stopped sending deputies
into stores armed with the list, it said the toy industry had
become more safety conscious, and it was going to funnel its
efforts into developing general rules for toy safety They
would cover such things aa sharp points and breakage and
tackle the whole problem at once rather than approach it oa a
toy-by toy basis
Commission chairman S John Byington, speaking of this
year’s situation, said it’s still the same: the agency can t.
keep track of the 4,000 to 5,000 new toys that arrive oa the
market every year
s However, the rules have not yet been proposed, and the
• commissioners admit they will not be in place by February
or March of next year when the buying and ordering for
Christmas, 1977, sales takes place.
