K K i I ndu gr swEi?ierg'CdMl iq Wendi, Deqnn '4Safety was the theme presented to the elementary school by Officer Mon- toya, a member of the Pasadena Police Department for five years. Officer Montoya stressed several important points which the students should follow at all times: 1. Always walk on the sidewalk and keep off private property. 2. Cross at crosswalks and at corners but never in the middle of a busy street. 3. NEVER talk to strangers! Don't accept anything from strangers, whether it be candy or money. Never accept rides or get into a car to give directions. 4. Bicycles should always be kept in proper working order and should not be ridden with faulty equip- ment. Front lights and a rear re- flector are necessary for night riding. Always remember the traf- fic laws concerning a bicycle are the same as the laws concerning a car. 5. Every bicycle should have a license to help identify your bike in case of loss or theft. If you have a serious accident while riding your bike, the license will enable the police to locate your parents. 6. Remember that sidewalks are for pedestrians. Although roller skat- ing and skateboarding are legal you must always yield to pedes- trians.

1. A well-balanced diet of wholesome foods goes a long way toward building a strong body. A proper balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and water assures the body of good building. mate- rial just as top-quality lumber, bricks, and concrete would assure a builder of a potentially good struc- ture. Poor materials, however, regardless of the quality of workmanship, will not produce a quality product. Neither will poor diet produce a healthy body. 2. It is also true that regardless as to how line the raw materials, unless they are properly worked, there is no automatic guarantee the end product will be good. Likewise, even the finest diet with the highest quality foods will not give you a healthy, vigorous Wnclyi unless itiisproperly eXerRed. One major rea- son why Americans, who have basically the best diet in the world, still have phenomenal sickness and disease is because they fail to properly use, through exercise and rest, what they do eat. Cleanliness is next to godlinessf, Though not a scripture, it is certainly true. The Bible devotes a great deal of space to teaching the basics of human hygiene. Dirt and filth are the breeding grounds of disease. Unless reasonable care is taken to keep your person and your environment clean observing many of the other keys of good health will become just wasted effort. A person's bodily hygiene and immediate personal environment also becomes an expression of his men- tal outlook. That is why the Bible devotes so much to teaching man how to have a clean environment, so he will have a clean and right outlook on life- not just to avoid disease. 3. Getting proper rest involves more than just eight hours sleep. Knowing when to rest is as im- portant as knowing what rest is, because rest is just as important to good health as any other single factor. Real rest is as much a cessation of mental activity as it is of physical labor. Many people stop working physically but are mentally running the 100 yard dash. Consequently, even after sleeping, they feel all worn out. Rest is a state of mind as well as a state of body. To be truly rested you must have peace of mind. When to rest? Seven to nine hours at night? Per- haps. But the real key is resting when you need it! For most people eight hours of sleep may seem suffi- cient, but short rest periods throughout the day com- bined with adequate sleep at night will more effec- tively serve anyone who is either mentally or physi- cally active. Employing and promoting all of these keys is an important part of the daily educational program of Imperial Schools. Unlocking the door to success re- quires use of all of the keys.

usclfe ploy is no accident There is also always the need to instill safety and vital health principles at all levels. A great degree of emphasis is placed upon safety conciousness in sports, in the home and car, and as a pedestrian-for avoiding bodily injury is one of the keys to good health. Audio-visual aids in the form of motion pic- tues, slides, and tapes which accent safety are a regular part of the continuous day-in, day-out training in health and safety. Occa- sional field trips to local police and fire de- partments serves to further accentuate the need for safety conciousness. Safe play is no accident! Children have to be trained to be safe. Abiding by the rules of any game or sport not only assures enjoyable play but also a more safe game. Accidents are the result of improper knowledge or use of equipment and rules, or by careless and thoughtless action. Being aware of the rules, alert to the action, and thinking ahead of the game are good accident preventatives. Stud- ents are taught rules and skills by example and by doing. They come to understand the right use of equipment whether a ball, bat, base, rope, etc., and the possible conse- quences of improper use of these things. They are disciplined to be alert. With dili- gence, consistent training and careful super- vision, accidents are avoided.
