3 v } January 28,1976 't Chloe's Column Weathermen are consstently predctng lower wnter temperatures. Wth cold weather, the threat of colds, sore throats, and frost bte take on ncreasng mportance. Parents can consder several methods to keep chldren warm and dscourage llness ths wnter. An excellent way to keep warm s tb wear several layers of clothng and among the fabrc fbers acts as an, excellent nsulaton, several layers wll keep your chld warmer than one heavy layer. Layers also allow a chld to take off a garment or two f he becomes- too warm- whle partcpatng n actvtes. Keepng your chld's head covered s mportant. Ths forces heat to the chld's arms, hands, legs and fngers preventng heat loss. Hoods are warmer than hats, but they need to ft close to the head. A closely kntted cap under the chld's coat hook wll provde \ maxmum protecton from cold wnds. Keepng hands covered protects lttle fngers. Mttens are warmer than gloves; they keep chldren's fngers close together. Wth gloves, body heat escapes from the exposed surfaces. A^wool lnng and an outer layer of leather or water repellent fabrc s best. If your chld s allergc to wool, purchase mttens wth a.synthetc lnng. Although warmer, mttens do lmt 1 fnger dexerty. And layerng mttens provde addtonal warmth, but are extra bulky. You may want to consder your chld's actvtes and the length of tme he wll spend n the cold when decdng between mttens or gloves. Footwear s another consderaton 'n keepng warm.. Feet are the hardest part of the body to keep warm. One suggeston s to wear alterantng layered socks pf wool and cotton n graduated szes. Ths combnaton takes advantage of the fber qualtes of warmth and mosture absorpton. Frosted feet are easy/ to develop n extreme cold wth perspraton-soaked socks. Socks, shoes or boots that a're too tght, restrctfoeededblood crculaton for addtonal warmth. Footwear can be fur- lned, synthetc fleece 'lnechor, I wbol lned for* warmth. " All 1 heavy footwear should be removed h the house to prevent excess bacteral growth and odor formaton. Powell has maps The new Mchgan Offcal 'Transportaton maps are now beng dstrbuted and State ( Representatve Stanley M. Powell (R-Iona) has one for you. The new maps are free, as always, and Representatve Powell wll send you one f you wrte to hm-at the State Captol n Lansng. In addton to the usual n- 4 formaton, the 1976 edton of the state map s full'of bref _ hstorcal facts about Mchgan and carres a Bcentennal theme. For example, the map notes the eght most promnent settlements and communtes n Mchgan durng the Revolutonary perod and gves J a bref descrpton of-amerca's Transportaton Hertage on dsplay at Greenfeld Vllage n Dearborn. The document also desgnates hosptal locatons, passenger ral trackage, water ports, arports, brdges and tunnel facltes and ther tolls, ferry lnes, State Polce posts, dstrct offces of the Hghways and Transportaton Department an ndex to ctes and vllages and ther populaton fgures.

To be elgbly for the academc honors lst, a student must have a cumulatve grade average of "B" or better for hs or her entre college career. Stayng dry also promotes warmth. Snow that collects on the outsde of clothes forms mosture when meltng that can break the nsulaton you have bult. Water repellent clothng wll help keep your chld dry and warm. In addton to beng close 'to "Godlness", cleanlness s close to "warmness". Drt clogs the ar spaces r clothng and cart reduce the nsulaton factor. Addtonal desgn features -that provde extra warmth nclude: -knt cuffs around wrsts. -knt cuffs elastc enough to slp easly over shoes, but retan ts shape. hemy Clnton County Home Economst -outer fabrcs that are closely woven or kntted yet are lghtweght a bb-style trouser to provde an extra layer of warmth over the chest and stays on well. -self-help features that allow chldren to be ndependent n gettng dressed. --zppers that are covered to help keep out mosture and wnd. Each chld reacts to cold temperatures a lttle dfferently, and as a parent, you can best determne how many and what knd of clothes your chld wll requre to keep warm ths wnter. - Our thanks to Jean Yoder for ths nformaton. - CLINTON COUNTY NEWS, ST.

They, are part of the world," explans Gretchen. The chldren who attend the school the entre day get ther lunch from the Davd Scott Elementary cafetera wth the other students. They are taught to read and wrte and for most of the students, ther mental capabltes are not lmted by ther physcal handcaps. As soon as the teachers feel a student s capable of jonng other chldren hs or her age n a normal 'classroom stuaton, the student s enrolled n an elementary school and attends therapy classes part-tme. Therapy s also admnstered by the four "specar.school teachers at the homes of the students. IN THE. THERAPY room at the "specal" a school, the chldren are taught to ncrease ther motor coordnaton through varous types of exercses nvolvng a number of strange lookng therapy toys. There's a huge round nflattble ball that s approxmately four feet n dameter. The chldren st on the ball and wth the -teacher's assstance, try to maneuver ther, ther belles,on the ball and thus ther, muscles are relaxed., They have a hammock that they swng n to help them coordnate ther balance and skooter boards to develop two-hand x:oordnaton, strengthen neck and back muscles and help them-develop better motor plannng sklls - plannng where they want to go on the skooters and how to get to that destnaton. The therapy room s also equpped wth a set of tables and chars wth seats lke a ppe. The table and seats were desgned specfcally for ths room to help cerebral palsy students help relax ther nner leg muscles. * The lst of other specalzed equpment contnues, but t s evdent that each pece has a purpose and each pece s helpng the student to help hmself or herself. WILLINGNESS Besdes frendshp and understandng, the school has fostered a wllngness to help not just ther jsx students who' attend ther school and the sx students whch the teachers counsel n ther homes, but the other chldren wthn Clnton County who may beneft from'ther program f they enroll. Under a recently passed Mandatory Educaton Law, chldren who need speech, physcal or occupatonal therapy must be provded wth these benefts by each county. If the county doesn't provde the necessary servces, the chldren must attend schools n other 'countes, but the tuton and transportaton costs of the chld must be absorbed by the county fwhch the chld lves. If a parent has a chld on braces or has, notced that ther chld s slow to grasp' learnng fundamentals, ths "specal" school n DeWtt may help the chld; and the.servces of the school are open to. any resdent of the county. "Any of the servces are avalable to them," says Kelly, who feels that the Clnton County program s an extremely good program despte ts freshness n the communty. "WE HAVE A GOOD program because theyjthe chldren) can get ndvdualzed...,a ^* a j^says _ The^ chldren are every day ansttelcrers are J< able to work wth smaller groups of chldren ' rather than a larger.number of students, whch often happens n larger schools.

Z7t6 Vttfota In the past, I have devoted consderable space n ths column to dscusson of the Mchgan Legslature's unsuccessful attempt to enact a comprehensve, fa.r and workable school strke bll. Recent developments have put ths ssue back n the headlnes, and t appears now that our efforts may not have been as unsuccessful as they appeared last year. In hs State of the State address, Governor Mllken voced support for our commttee's orgnal proposal, whch now leaves us wth a vable opton to pursue. ' School strkes are a senstve ssue because, whether or not they are warranted, they often serously damage the. qualty of educaton n any gven school dstrct. Students go wthout classes, ther tax-payng themselves embroled n a redhot dspute. Mchgan needs a strong tool to use n dealng wth these strkes; one that treats all sdes farly and ends dsputes as quckly as possble so the educaton process can contnue smoothly. Last sprng, the Mchgan Legslature produced just such a tool n the form of a school strke bll. The much-publczed "Keth Commttee," named after ts charman, Representatve Wllam Keth, wrote a bll whch ncluded my proposal for a modfed bndng arbtraton process to resolve ' barganng mpasses short of a strke. Unfortunately, there were a number of groups that opposedthe" measure, ncludng teachers, school boards and drafted, passed by the, Legslature, and then vetoed by the Governor. It s the orgnal bll, whch ncludes many of my proposals, whch the Governor has endorsed. Although I prefer the orgnal short-lved proposal, I beleve the vetoed bll would also have been effectve n dealng wth school strkes. The wrtng of these measures represented one of the lengthest and most ntensve legslatve efforts n Mchgan's hstory. Luckly, school opened wth lttle trouble n ths area, partally because of Mchgan's overall economc clmate. I doubt f we wll be as fortunate next fall, as the ssue s stll unresolved. The Governor's recent endorsement of the orgnal "Keth Commttee" proposal, justfably^^ ns apparent approval <rf Ths proposalwould result'n the arbtrator' selectng, on an ssue-by-ssue bass fl the last best offer of ether sde n'the event of an mpasse. The arbtrator's decson would be bndng on both sdes f ether sde accepted t. I beleve ths provson would put a speedy end to dsputes, and would be far to both sdes. ' Although ths bll met wth much opposton n the past, t s an mpartal measure. Perhaps t was ths mpartalty that created the opposton, because nether sde was favored wth better provsons than the other. I beleve there s now greater support for ths bll from educatonal factons than when t was frst unveled; and wth any luck and a lot of work, t wll pass the Legslature, be sgned by the Governor, and help put school admnstrators. As a 'an end to the lengthy, dsruptve result, the bll ran nto a dead ^h? 01 strkes we have exend, and another proposal was perenced n the past. /FPAYSTOAWERTISE... ADVERTISE WHERE/WAYS...

These people carry the message to your legslators that you the Farm Bureau members for mulated n the Farm Bureau polces, through communty group dscussons, county, state and natonal annual meetngs. One of the mportant legslatve achevements last year was the mantenance of the sales tax exempton on agrcultural mputs. Certanly ths was a vctory that would not have been possble wthout the unted group of Farm Bureau. Currently the Clnton County Farm Bureau s attemptng to 15 gan a better understandng of our county government. In ths way t s possble to attack problems of a local nature wth the same unted acton we now use on the state and natonal level. The Communty Group program of Farm Bureau gves Farm Bureau members n local areas the opportunty to gather for an evenng of socal enjoyment and at the same tme dscuss problems of common concern. After dscussng the problem areas, every member can have nput as to possble solutons to the problems, The 'group meetngs also help to keep the members nformed about legslatve actvtes and other aspects of Farm Bureau actvtes. There s one key to the success of all programs of Farm Bureau. That key s YOU, the Farm Bureau member. Through your partcpaton you can make the Farm Bureau even stronger and more successful than t already s.
