A KID A HAND
The first five years of a child’s life
are critical, the experts tell us. That’s
when their characters are formed.
That’s when caring counts. Someone
to show them how to do things.
Someone just to hold them.
Unfortunately, for many of the world’s
children, that’s just what they don’t get.
And society suffers as a result –
because a deprived child has a lot less
chance of growing up an adjusted
adult. Some of us believe we can
change things – or at least try. And we
need your help. No, don’t reach for
your pocket. It’s not your money – it’s
you we want. In your community there
are dozens of ways you can make
personal contact with kids and make
a difference to their lives. Maybe you’ll
help one to read, to play a game, to
learn to laugh. Maybe you’ll just be
the hand that holds out a little hope...

seen her, so I decided to pay her a
visit. My neighbor told me that his
mother had gotten a little senile, so I
didn’t know if she would remember me.
I knocked on the door and went into her
room. I said, “Hello, Mrs. Billings. How
are you feeling?” She said, “Hello, I’m
not Mrs. Billings.” I said, “Yes, you are.
How are you?” She replied, “I’m getting
better.” I told her I had seen her son,
and she just nodded.
I could see our conversation

and started out the door. She thanked

The old folks who complain that children are so spoiled nowadays actually have a valid point, according to a new
study. The report believes that in the past children often had to share a room or even a bed with siblings, but now most children
have their own rooms and may not have any siblings or only one. As a result, they never learn to compromise or to think of
others. Children with their own rooms were less likely to give up a seat on the bus and were more stubborn and argumentative in
confrontations.

People stay healthy when they eat only the amount of food they need and when they exercise. However, many Americans eat too
much, and they seldom exercise. In fact, a surprising 54 percent of American adults are overweight. The problem in the United States
may be found in the environment. To begin with, Americans have too much food available. For example, many restaurants are
open from early in the morning to late at night. Second, many Americans eat foods that are too high in fat and too low in fiber, and some
even snack all day long. Third, modern conveniences and technology, such as power lawn mowers and the internet, make it easy
for Americans to remain inactive and avoid exercise. Doctors have suggested some solutions to the problem. Americans need to
eat foods that are low in fat and high in fiber, such as grains, fruits, and vegetables. They also need to exercise for twenty minutes a day,
three times a week. By following this plan, Americans can improve their overall health and set good examples for their children.

When hiccups won’t stop
Imagine hiccups that don’t stop – for hours, even days. Then the nuisance turns into a nightmare. Though relatively
uncommon, chronic intractable hiccups can be brought on by a variety of infections, injuries, and metabolic disorders.
In some cases, doctors prescribe dozens of different remedies, from narcotics to anesthetics; yet the hiccups persist.
Now neurologists have discovered that a drug commonly used to treat high blood pressure can relieve endless
hiccuping when nothing else works. The drug, nifedipine, prevents calcium from entering muscle cells, where the mineral
may act as a stimulant. One hiccup sufferer who found relief on nifedipine tried to stop taking it after one, three and six
months. Each time, her hiccups returned.

For 250 million children, today is a workday, not a school day. Children as young as five years old are part of the
global workforce. In factories and in fields, children work up to 15 hours a day, seven days a week. Matches, rugs, soccer balls,
leather goods, paper cups, toys, shoes, fireworks – all of these products are made by tiny hands.
Child labor is one of the worst forms of exploitation. Child workers are deprived of schooling, beaten and sexually abused,
and crippled by work-related illnesses and injuries. Children are sold to employers who pay impoverished families for the use of
their children, often to young adulthood.
In Brazil, the Solidarity Center is working with unions, government organizations, businesses, and community groups to
promote worker rights, racial equality, and social justice.
The Solidarity Center is fighting child labor worldwide. Thanks to Solidarity Center programs, more kids are staying in
schools.

Made in Japan
Every year, Americans salute more and more American flags that weren’t made in America. Flags that bear the stars and
stripes and little tags reading Made in Japan or Taiwan or Hong Kong.
Those flags aren’t the only things with such labels. As foreign goods flood the market, American industries shut down. As industries
shut down, people lose jobs.
When people lose their jobs, they can’t buy the things you make. Chances are if Betsy Ross (the Philadelphia seamstress who
made the first American flag for George Washington) were alive today, she’d be standing in line for her unemployment check.
So help yourself and help us by looking for the union label in everything you buy. You can find our label in women’s and children’s
garments. This label stands for the creativity of American design, the skill of American
workmanship, the importance of American jobs.
