Child 'aidi
THIS WEEK I want to
on a list of simple things you can do
every day to relp prevent lead
. ning.
- Get your child tested
for lead at least once a year.
- Keep your child away from
toose, chipping, or peeling paint
- Clledc all the places wbere
your child sperds time for cracked
or peeling paint, including the
homes of relatives, b . IS and
child C8Ie centers.
- Tell your landlord or boes­
i�auatnity rlght away wren paint
begirs to peel.
- Reportpec;lingpainttoyour
local health department am wMc
with them 10 get rid 0 these hazards
in a safe way.
- O>ver peeling paint with
tape or contact paper to protect your
child \emponuily.
• - Make s� your child eats
property.
- Make sure your child eats at
least three meals a day. Children's
stornacbs absorb more lead when
trey are empty.
-Giveyourchildf rich in
iron, like lean meat, tuna, beans,
e� am gree� These foods belp
proect the body agairst lead. Give
your children foods ri h in calciwn,
lil<c milk and creese. Calcium·
protects chil�' bones against
lead.
- Give healthy snacks like
raisirs or other fruit, cteese or
yogurt Don't give your child fatty
fOO<S, like fried f� or potato
chips. Fatty f� belp the body
absorb lead fmter.
- W�h your child's haOOs
before �ry meal. before every
snack, and before bedtime.
- Wesh baby bottle nipples,
pacifieIS, and toys that intans and
children put into their moues,
- TtY rot to drink water that
might contain lead.
- Do rot use water from the
hot water taocet for cooking or
drinking or maldngbaby formulas.
Hot water absorbs lead from water
pipes.
- Let the water run from the
cold water faucet for a few minutes
before \Sng it for drinking. cook­
i� or preparing baby formulas.
Fill a pirher of water after letting
the water run, am keep it in the
refrigerator to use for drinking
dlling the day.
- Do oot store food in metal
C8I1i after they have been opened
non-metal containers to store
food.
- Wash floors and window
sills with a dearer high in pta­
phate mixed with water at least
once a week toconbOl dust (Auto-
matic dishwash=r de1ergent is high .
in plaphate.)

d m nd in thi manner. "We want
to t up an agenda to g t th banks
to come with ACORN to prevent
redlining and di crimination."
ACORN aid it believes the
way to prevent tho e problems is
through a lending program that
targe I w- and moderate-income'
area for loan with lower interest
rate. lower settlement costs and
flexible underwriting.
According to CORN, it has

Ban id hi in titution ha
"taken t po ition of fighting in-
titution 1 raci m."
Seedorff al 0 talked about
"clas nd di tinction." He aid,
"People in the uburb have
greater wealth and privilege ."
In ddition to Seedorff' use of
uch terminology "class," "di -
tinction" and "privilege," the word
"le desirable" was al 0 used and
it drew much comment. .
The rationale of the financial
institution's repre entatives
seemed to have been one that can
be ummed up in thi picture that
one of}hem painted.
AN INDIVIDUAL in the sub­
urbs, perhap buying a quarter- or
a half-mllllon dollar home, for the
m t part, wants to make a large
down payment to bring his interest
rate down.
And the low- and moderate-in-
tin.

However, percentagewise, the
logical conclusion eems to be, the
institution makes more money off
of the low- and moderate-income

Willis W. Chapman, a " con­

"racism" exists and has existed
within financial institutions since
they came into existence.
He aid, "Green (money) is the

has been passed by Congress.
She aid, "It (fair and non-dis­
