SECTION 2 - PAGE 1 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. APRIL 13,1974 Easter-ATime for Families By Genevieve Millet Landau Director, Hasbro Center for Child Development and Education The celebrations of Easter and Passover, like those of Christmas and Hanukkah, are among the few remaining traditions in our society which has so largely abandoned rituals and symbols. So it is more important than ever that this season be made a family time, a time when parents and children do things to­ gether, a time to share in a variety of ways -- the joys and the deeper meanings -- of the season. Springtime is the true begin­ ning of the year. Nature is reborn in the spring. For children especi­ ally, the lengthening days, the warming spring sunshine, heralds a welcome new world of active out­ door play. Youngsters can get out of the house to do all the active things they have been missing while winter weather limited their activi­ ties, and often kept them indoors. Bicycles, tricycles, wagons, roller skates come out of storage sheds, basements and garages. New games are learned. New territories explored. Some of these new interests can be beneficially -- and painlessly -- channeled into programs of regular physical activity. In fact, this is a good time for the whole family to join in a fitness program. Grownups can get into shape by brisk walking and hiking, jogging, playing tennis, exercising. Youngsters seeing their parents shaping up for spring and summer will be encouraged to follow suit, doing things geared to their own ages and interests. According to the President's Council on Physical Fit­ ness and Sports, children should get at least one hour of vigorous physi­ cal activity every day. And research shows that children who see their parents exercising are more likely to want to be physically fit themselves. Now is the time to start. Most of the outdoor games that kids like increase their coordination and strengthen their muscles without making a pressured, organized thing of it. Easter marks more, of course, than the,beginning of a new season of sports and outdoor play. The re­ ligious celebrations of Easter and Passover symbolize and reaffirm the values of community life and growth. This is why we give pres­ ents, dress in new and cheerful clothing, prepare festive meals to share with friends and family. Of equal importance are the tasks and responsibilities we share with our children at this time. For children learn their parents' values by doing, as well as by watching. By doing such simple chores as helping to rake the lawn, planting seeds, taking part in traditional spring cleaning chores, children develop a sense of responsibility and obligation towards property and the natural world. Taking part in such tasks not only teaches values but it's great fun if everyone pitches in. There are also lots of lovely, special things for parents and chil­ dren to shar6 during the Easter sea­ son. Simple things such as dyeing eggs, searching for new leaves and flowers, spying bird nests all take on new meaning when parents and children do them together. To young children, Easter means presents, new clothes, choco­ late bunnies, Easter eggs and bas­ kets. But the season can be given its deepest meaning by teaching our children and reminding ourselves of the joys of helping others. You might wish, for example, to have a collection party so your children and perhaps some of the neighbors' kids can donate to others, toys or clothing which are no longer needed. Clothes can be gathered and given to agencies which refurbish and distribute them to families who are less fortunate; toys and other possessions can be freshened up and repaired for other youngsters to en­ joy. The Easter season is a time for new beginnings--in physical and emotional fitness and, above all, in caring and sharing. if you would like to have a free booklet on the importance of play, send for "The Wonderful World Of Play" by Maria W.

Dixon Secretary of State When you are on the same roadway with a motorcycle, there are some added safety rules you should keep in mind. The motorcyclist nas the same right-of-way privileges you do and he is entitled to the same courtesy and consideration as other drivers. The motorcyclist often is faced with hazardous situations that you should be aware of in order to keep from doing anything which could cause a serious acciderft. 1. If you are following a motorcycle, allow plenty of distance when approaching a railroad track. If the crossing is rough or the tracks cross the road at an angle, the rider will need room to maneuver and he will have to slow down. 2. Certain types of bridge surfaces are hazardous for motorcycles. The rider can't tell what he's going to find until he gets there, so give him lots of room and be prepared to stop quickly in case he falls. 3. Regardless of size, motorcycles are entitled to use the full width of a traffic lane, the same as a car. Do not try to stop next to a motorcycle in the same lane...either change lanes or stay behind. Do not try to pass a motorcycle in the same lane that it is using. (A copy of the Rules of the Road will be sent to you upon request. Write to Alan J.
