The coming of cold wea-

haven’t even thought about.
As your toddler stays in-
doors during winter, he’ll be
exploring--tasting, chewing,
nibbling—on most anything
in sight, even the woodwork
and window sills.
It is this "curiosity appet-
ite” that causes hundreds of
children to be poisoned each
month.
Perhaps the most insidi-
ous poison of all is lead poi-
soning. It results from tod-
dlers eating small chips of
old paint, chewing on win-
dowsills or nibbling on cr-
umbs of chipped plaster con-
taining bits of lead daint.

Lead poisoning can be fa-
tal or cause severe brain
damage and mental retarda-
tion in children. It is an en-
tirely "man-made disease”
and should be completely
preventable.
Parents should make sure
.that all toys, cribs, etc.,are
painted with non-toxie paip
containing less than one per-
cent lead. All peeling or
blistered paint should be re-
moved from inside the house,
and any falling plaster sh-
ould be cleaned up immedi-
ately. Keep an eye out for
munching children, especi-
ally if the kind of paint on the
object is unknown. Also av-
oid letting small children br-
eathe fumes of fresh paint to
confined areas.
You can’t and don’t want
to step your toddler from
exploring, tasting and chew-
ing, but you can eliminate as
much opportunity for lead
poisoning as possible.

WASHINGTON, D. C. - It was
"...an historic night” in the 61
years of the National Press
Club October 9 when National
4-H Week was observed with a
large representation of nationy
al 4-H leadership from busi-
ness and government.
Jack Linkletter, famed young
TV star and eon of Art Link-
letter—they are National 4-H
Foundation Co-Chairmen for
the West Coast—received rapt
’attention and a standing ova-
tion, a rare oc cure nce with
Press Club audiences, as Pres-
ident John D. Heffernan ob-
served at the conclusion.
"It is Not the Generation
Gap—It’s the Communication
Gap" was Linkletter’s topic,
previously selected by his fa-
ther, who was unable to attend
because of a death in the fami-
ly. Young Mr. Linkletter gene-
rally praised today’s younger
generation, and declared that
much of their demonstrated re-
sentment reflected their feel-
ings toward hypocrisies in an
adult society that dictated
strict codes of behavior for
youngsters, not necessarily
practiced by their elders.
Linkletter cited the need for
4-H principles among today’s
youth, and said that he and his
father were committed to the
current S8 million capital fund
campaign to expand the Na-

The expansion of 4-H mem-

representing the Nation’s 3%
million 4-H members. The
poise with which these youngs,

and the great strides in reach-
