any number of available books on finding summer jobs. For
U. S. citizens there's the
Smnmer Employment Directory
of
U.S.A.,
published by the National Directory Service, which
lists jobs available in each state; the
S11mmer Employment
Guide
compiled by the Student Employment Division of the
Natíonal Employment Service Institute; and other books such
as the
Cotlegian'.I G11ide lo Part-Time Job.I
by Russell H.
Granger which can be helpful for year-round part-time work.
Consider filling out a job application form at the nearest
employment agency. These agencies usually obtain a number
of summer jobs for students. The key is to apply early.
Keep an eye on the employment opportuoities section in
the classified ads of your local newspaper.
If
you are able to
do landscape and gardening work you might even put in your
own ad for jobs wanted. The summer is a prime time for that
type of work. And it's healthful and profitable.
Check with youc friends, relatives and neighbors. Per–
sonal referrals have proveo to
be
a most effective method in
finding a profitable summer job.

When Air Pollution
Becomes Heavy
. . .
Air pollution is a health hazard. It aggravates already
existing diseases and directly contributes to others. A study by
the U. S. Public Health Association found the rate for severe
asthma in children under
5
to
be
about twice as high in
heavily polluted areas. For eczema the cate in heavily polluted
areas is four times as high
!
U.
S.
Public Heolth
Service
To minimize this health hazard during heavy
aic
pollution, officials give this advice:
l.
Stay indoor.I
a.I
much as possible.
Keep the windows
and doors closed until the air pollution concentration lessens.

exhausts are heaviest near the curb.
3.
Limit drivi1Zg.
Motor vehicles alone cont ribute about
60% of existing aír pollution, in tbe form of carbon mooox–
ide, unburned hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. In sorne
cíties the figure may be even bigber- 80 to 90%!
4.
Avoid .Itrenflotts exercise.
This is especially applicable
to chi ldren. In sorne areas, physical education periods must
be
cancelled by schools when air pollution reaches certain levels.
5.

Fire Extinguishers
For the Home
No one is immune to the possible threat of fire. Home
dwellers should be aware of three basic types of fire threats
around the borne: Class A, ordinary combustible fue -
paper, wood, cloth, other similar items; Class B, flammable
liquid fire - gasoline, oil, grease, paint thinner; and Class C,
electrical fire.
Since a Class A fire is extinguished primarily by water, a
garden hose long enough to reach any point around your
home or inside your borne will be adequate if the fire is
discovered while it is still small. But call the fi.re department
befo,·e
you start fighting the fire or have someone else call
the fire department.
For the Class B or
e
fue it is actually
dangerOtiS
to use
water in an effort to fight the flames. For the best protection
buy a "B-C" class, dry chemical or carbon dioxide type fire
extinguisher. A
2%
to 5-pound extinguisher wbich will stop
most small flammable liquid and electrical borne fires can
be
purchased for 10 to 20 dollars.

Foodless Foods
11
Many of the thousands of food items found in super–
markets have either been highly milled, bleached, filled with
preservatives, emulsified, dyed, artificíally sweetened and fla–
vored, waxed oc otherwise refined, processed and chemically
treated.
These highly processed and refined foods often lack the
essential nutrients they originally had. One independent
expert said that 40 out of the 60 leading
dry
breakfast
cereals, for example, were so low in nutritional value that the
contents consisted of "empty calories."
For your health's sake and the health of your family,
minimize use of overly processed foods. Choose natural foods
- lean meats, vegetables, fruits, whole grain breads - that
have real food value. Pass up the packaged snacks which are
high in calories and harmful additives but low in nutrition.
Being concerned about what you buy for you and your family
to eat is not being a "fooJ nut" or "food fanatic" but a
wise consumer.
