Consider high school teacher, Essie Sutton. She had a dream for her kids. Mrs. Sutton teaches disad­ vantaged youngsters at Mc- Clymonds high school in Oakland, Calif. For years, she wanted to show them the country and its capitol. "I want the kids to see where our nation's laws are made/' . They needed funds. Two years of cake sales, paper drives, car washes and aluminum can salvage produced $3,000. That wasn't enough to pay for a charter bus and tov feed and shelter yeventeen people fowjvtr three weeks. . ' -x So Essie Sutton put all of her life savings into the trip fund. Then she got a personal loan of $7,000. They were ready. "Nothing van stop us now," she said as they prepared for the 18- day trip across the country, to be toppedsby a week's stay in Washington. "I feel tremen­ dous, I've been planning this trip literally all of my years at McClymonds." It won't be all sight-seeing, die added firmly.t She planned to conduct classes' aboard the bus. They was highlights from the Grand Canyon to the Statue of "Liberty to the White House, Their Congressman took them on a tour of the Capitol building and arranged for them ho see the Aerospace museum. The Howard University Medical center dean gave them a tour of the University and the Pen­ tagon. These were just two who made sure the students saw Washington and were welcomed and feted. The youngsters wrote their thanks to those who helped. "It was an experience we shall never forget,"» wrote Leon James. "We will remember it for the rest of our lies...Thank you for letting the country know that there are still teachers who care." It takes love to make such a dream a reality. tor your child s safety To a young child a plastic bag may teem like a harmless toy, but that toy could turn into a tragic trap with horrible consequences, warns Dr. Albert H. Domm, child safety specialist and former medical director^ of the Prudential Insurance Company, M "It qnjy takes a very short time "'fWTi child to suffocate, so parents must always be on guard," says Dr. Domm. "It is really only a matter of seconds, because a child's lungs are so small." Parents should! puncture bags in sev­ eral places before dis­ posing of them to pre­ vent acci­ dents that could occur when chil­ dren are playing with discarded plastic bags. "Even more attractive to youngsters as playthings are out-of-use refrigerators," says Dr. Domm. "They can be even more deadly than a plastic bag." A refrigerator that is being discarded or stored, even for a short time, should have its dooa removed, he emphasizes. Zippered bags and pillows are two other potential suf­ focation traps for toddlert. "Again," says- Dr. Domm, "parents must keep these ob­ jects out of their child's reach or make it clear to him that they are not play toys."
