Tittle known facts
Studies have shown chil-
dren between the ages of
two and six catch more
colds than those in any
other age group. Parents of
young children who get sick
all the time can comfort
themselves that this will
probably pass and that the
youngster will only get
about a quarter as many
colds by the time she’s 12.

How well your child does
in school could well depend,
at least in part, on what you
do to help him at home.
Don’t do his homework
for him, advise the experts
at the National Education
Association (NEA) but do
be sure he has the proper
setting to do it in himself: a
quiet place, good lighting
and no distractions.
The NEA offers other
helpful hints in a book
called ■ “Doing Well in
School.” For a copy, write
to the National Education
Association, 1201 Sixteenth
Street, N.W., Washington,
D.C. 20506.
You can help your child’s
school have the equipment
it needs to help your child
learn through a new bigger
than ever Labels for Educa-
tion Program.
Since 1973 the program
has supplied participating
schools, that include any
grades kindergarten through
eighth, with over $10 mil-
lion worth of equipment.
School children, their par-
ents, teachers and friends
collect labels from Camp-
bell’s Condensed Soups,
Campbell’s Chunkey Soups,
Campbell’s “Soup-for-One”
Soups, Campbell’s Beans
products, Franco-American
products, “V-8” Cocktail
Vegetable Juice, Campbell’s
Tomato Juice or Swanson
canned food products. In
all, 118 Campbell product
varieties packaged in 26 dif-
ferent sizes are redeemable.1
These labels, with the
proper forms, may then be
sent in between December
3, 1979, and February 22,
1980, for the school’s
choice of over 400 items of
quality school equipment:
audio-visual and athletic
equipment; reference books
and teaching devices; sci-
ence, math and reading aids.
Some schools have found
they get even more out of
the program. One principal
wrote: “The collection of
labels has promoted a very
strong feeling of school
spirit and unity among our
students as nothing in the
past has ever accom-
plished./’
For free leaflets on this
program and how it can
help you help your child in
school, write to Campbell’s
Labels for Education Pro-
gram, Post Office Box 1960,
Maple Plain, MN 55348.
Other things you can do
to help your youngster in
school include:
• Make sure he’s up to par
physically. Learning de-
mands the best that’s in him

of effort, concentration and
clear thinking. Have him
examined regularly, includ-
ing his hearing and vision.
• Encourage him to col-
lect things: rocks, leaves,
shells. This will help him
learn about them.
• Make your home a
haven of thought, books,
ideas. If the adults in your
family love learning, the
youngsters are more likely
to.
• Take him to museums,
zoos, libraries.
• Help make learning fun.
Teach him number tricks,
riddles, puzzles that help
develop reasoning. Play
number games with him
such as dominoes or bingo.
With your help at home,
and the right equipment at
school, your child may learn
more quickly and more
pleasantly than you may
have thought possible.
