But they can't begin until a concerned offers a few hours a month to be a 4-h Prep advisor. A 4-h Prep Club is a group of five or more seven, eight, and nine year olds who meet about twice each month. The projects they work on are short term, and easy so an advisor needn't feel like an authority on any subject. Meetings are held in the homes of the advisor, and members in the county 4-H office, or In a local public building. The program is entirely flexible, and activities, times and meeting locations are left to the discretion of the advisor The first meeting is usually only an hour long and the Prep Club takes care of business at this time.

Simple directions for meeting procedures, and elementary parliamentary procedures are supplied to the advisor. The second meeting is where all can enjoy a field trip, work on a craft, perform a service project, or similar activity. It is suggested that the time involved is kept to two hours. There is a complete guide to projects, local field trips, and other ideas given to all advisors. The total time spent with the youth then conies to about three or four hours a month with a couple more hours necessary for planning and preparation.

Each member's parents are urged to contribute aid to the club, and share the responsibility with the advisors. There are no funds needed by the 4-H office, and 4-h Prep Club material is free. If you are interested in forming a 4-h Prep Club, or have any questions, you can call Gary Diamante, 4-H Program Associate, at 28S4915, or write to the 4 Office, Courthouse, Morristown National Handicapped Week Observed By VA National Employ the Handicapped Week began on Oct. 1, but Carl M. Mikail, director of the Veterans Administration Medical Center at Lyons, announced that concern for the handicapped is of year-long concern for the Veterans Administration, both in treatment programs and employment policies.

Almost 13 percent of the 1762 staff members at the local VA Medical Center are classified as handicapped. They include persons with speech, hearing and vision impairments; as well as individuals with missing extremities, partial paralysis, heart disease, mental or emotional illness, respiratory disorders and other impairments. The 220 handicapped employees Include disabled veterans and non-veterans at all Kge levels and of both sexes. Mikail emphasized, "These individuals are highly motivated and most certainly are not handicapped in the manner In which they perform their assigned duties. Many are employed as supervisors or in other very responsible professional positions.

Very often in direct patient care, assisting in the rehabilitation and return of family and community of other disabled persons as self-sustaining, productive community members." Last month Joseph G. Kowalski of Morris Plains, supervisory medical technologist at the local VA medical center was commended by Dr. Robert W. Love, acting director of the Veterans Administration Northeastern Region upon his selection as outstanding handicapped federal employee award nominee. Mikail added, "Equal opportunity is the law of the land and the Veterans Administration is committed to an outreach program in the hiring and promotion practices for all qualified persons without regard to handicap or other discriminatory factors."

W-4 RADIOACTIVITY "Grand Central Station releases far more radiation than a nuclear "In the routine operation of a nuclear generating station, the release of radioactivity is negligible, far less than the normal levels around us all the time.

In fact, the granite in Grand Central Station releases far more radiation than a nuclear plant is allowed to under current regulations. "The American Medical Society also tells us that an equivalent number of coal-burning plants release more natural radioactivity in smoke than do nuclear plants. "One unit of measure to indicate the effect of radiation on man is the millirem (V1000 of a rent). New Jerseyans get about 125 millirems of natural radiation a year from food, buildings, air and cosmic rays. During the Three Mile Island plant accident in Pennsylvania, which was far from routine, the population living within 50 miles of the plant got an average individual dose of 1.5 millirems.

That's less than you get from the food you eat, or from watching TV, or taking a coast to coast airplane flight. "The nuclear industry is seriously concerned about the Three Mile Island accident, but it wants you to know that the radiation risks there were miniscule, especially if you compare them with the risks of smoking or driving a car. "I think we should keep these facts in mind in order to view nuclear energy in proper perspective."
