Department of Health, Education, and Welfare When Children Can't Read-- Part II "Learning disorders"--the mysterious inability in some children to learn to read at the normal age--run in fam­ ilies and apparently can be inherited, scientists have found. A comprehensive study done in Stockholm, Sweden, dealt with 112 children whoy had "specific dyslexia"-- meaning reading impairment that could not be explained by sickness, neglect, problem families, or other causes-- and found that 88 percent of them had relatives who also were affected. The study showed that the disability probably followed a "dominant" pattern: if one parent carried the gene lead­ ing to the development of dyslexia, the odds that a given child would be affected would be about one in two; if both parents carried the gene, one in one. A New Jersey investigator, studying 556 children en­ rolled in a special program for children with learning dis­ abilities, found that 3 or 4 of every 10 children had a close relative who also had learning problems. A 1975 study by a group at the University of Florida arrived at a figure similar to the Swedish findings. In one group of reading-disabled children--those with "pure" dyslexia--close to 80 percent were found to have at least one parent who was handi­ capped in reading. Parents were considered handicapped if they read at a level at least 2 years below their level of schooling. These studies show that even when a problem looks simple--finding out if parents transmit learning disorders through their genes--it usu­ ally is hard to solve. Scientific evidence that can prove that a complex disorder was inherited is very difficult to gather. In their studies of learning disabilities, scientists must patiently and carefully try to separate out what is inherited from what is caused by environmental factors, such as upbringing. Experts have come to real­ ize that children with read­ ing problems often have many other problems with their friends and family. As a re­ sult, scientists are trying more and more to understand read­ ing disabilities. Heredity is only one possible cause. Further information about learning disorders can be ob­ tained by ordering a copy of Detection and Prevention of Learning Disorders from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D„C. 20402, for $1.00. AUTO TIPS By PATRICK KELLY If you've known for 30 years how to jump-start a car's battery and you are still doing: it the same way you did three decades ago, your method may not be safe, warns the Automotive Parts & Accessories Association. Potentially dangerous sparking can occur when the last of four connections is made between two batteries for the jump-start. This can and should be avoided by making a ground connection on the engine away from the battery. Here, from APAA, is the SAFE way to jump-start a weak battery: 1. Place the booster bat­ tery or the vehicle with the good battery close to the vehicle with the run-down battery. BE SURE VEHI­ CLES ARE NOT TOUCH­ ING. 2. Raise the hood of each vehicle and remove the caps from their batteries. 3. Check the run-down bat­ tery to see if the electrolyte is frozen. If it is, DO NOT PROCEED ANY FUR­ THER, but remove the run­ down battery for thawing out and recharging or for re­ placement if tests reveal it has served its useful service life.

Now place a damp rag over the cell openings (a wet handkerchief will do). This will prevent hydrogen from escaping and will act as an effective flame barrier. 5. If the battery is not frozen, make sure both the run-down and the booster bat­ teries are of the same voltage (6 or 12 volts). 6. Turn all switches to the OFF position. 7. Place the gear selector lever in NEUTRAL or PARK position on the car to be started. 8. On the run-down bat­ tery, locate the post with a cable running from it to the starting switch or solenoid. Note if this post is marked POS ( + ) or NEG (-), con­ nect one end of a jumper cable to this post. 9. Locate the post with the same marking on the booster battery and connect the other end of this jumper cable to it. 10. Connect one end of the other jumper cable to the other post of the booster bat­ tery and the other end of this second cable to a nonmoving metal ground that is no closer than 12 inches from the bat­ tery. An alternator mounting bracket would be a typical ground to use. Make sure the cable will not be in the way of the fan or drive belts once the engine is started. 11. Now try to start the disabled car. If the starter won't crank the engine, turn off the ignition switch, dis­ connect the last jumper con­ nection made to the ground and wiggle all the other jumper cable connections to be sure they have good elec­ trical contact. Then recon­ nect the ground, making sure it too has a good connection and again try starting the car. 12. If the car doesn't start immediately, start the engine of the booster car to avoid draining its battery exces­ sively. HI COLUMN WOMEN'S FEATURES CROSSWORD By A. C.

The state's income tax law allows each resident to exempt the first $1,000 of income from the amount subject to the Illinois tax. Persons who earned less than $1,000 and had income taxes withheld on that income should file an IL-1040 tax return with the revenue department to obtain their refund.

THE BOY'S MA ME; WLADZIU , UBBRACE , (A TDP ENTERTAINER TODAY.) California has a new law on the books that really comes down hdfrd on residents who try to buy new automobiles outside the state. Because of California's tough antismog statutes, cars sold there have clean air devices not attached to vehicles destined for other parts of the U.S. Under the new law, the De­ partment of Motor Vehicles will not register a car bought in another state unless the owner files a "certificate of noncompliance." DMV then forwards that certificate to the Air Resources Board, which investigates and has authority to slap fines of as much as $5,000 on the car owner if it seems the out-of- state purchase was a deliber­ ate attempt to circumvent California's campaign against engine em. : ,s'opg ••• THE 32 FEDERAL PR/SONS, OVER 300 STATE PRISONS AND ABOUT 3,900 CITY AND COUNTY JAILS IN THE U.S. HOLD AROUND 350,000 INMATES. T V COMMENTARY By Bente Christensen Top Black Racer The Black American Racers Association picked Tom Thompson Jr. as driver of the year for 1976. The award was presented at the group's annual meeting in early Feb­ ruary in Baltimore. The ses­ sion also included a visit to an automobile show and a group discussion of racing ac­ tivities planned for the rest of this vear. ••• ** SUPER Bowl XI drew an estimated audience of 75,000,- 000. The game was a flop, however, and some wonder if that will affect next year's rating. The 1977 Super Bowl audience was the largest ever for a football game. BASEBALL'S World Series is still a bigger sports draw. JOHNNIE Carson, whose success has long amazed some in view of his obvious political ignorance (which he apparent­ ly doesn't himself realize) is finally slipping. After years of top ratings, his Tonight show is now about even with CBS rerun movies. EXECUTIONS continue at the commercial networks. Mickey Rooney's A Year At The Top is gone and so are the McLean Stevenson Show and The Practice, CPO Sharkey and Sirota's Court are rumor­ ed next. THE three commercial television networks at one time agreed on a pool of their re­ sources, to cover the 1980 Moscow Olympics, but in the final days of negotiation the Russians managed to deal with them individually. NBC and ABC were the final two nego­ tiators, with NBC winning out. ONE suspects the Russians in home surroundings will run away with so many of the honors in Moscow in 1980 the games will not be as interest­ ing to American viewers as recent Olympics elsewhere.
