Black voter registration is up in at least four of the 10 North Carolina counties that the Rev. Jesse Jackson visited during his voter registration drive in May, reported the Raleigh Nes and Observer last week. But state officials and black leaders aren't giving all the credit to Jackson.

Jackson Bid Started president in the 1984 primaries. He has said that three things are necessary before he will say, 4Yes, I am a Democratic presidential candidate': masses (national and black opinion polls show strong support for Jackson), machinery (a national ^Toup of supporters that reflects the 'Rainbow Coalition' and wilt organize and sponsor his candidacy) and money (one cannot run a credible campaign without money)."

Child Abuse Children can be abused physically, verbally, emotionally and sexually. Child abuse can sometimes be identified by repeated injuries, neglected appearance, disruptive behavior, passive or withdrawn behavior and overly critical parents. Use caution and common sense to identify child abuse. Please see page A3 V Fire Prevention Teach Your Child 1 By THOMAS FL YNN Syndicated Columnist ' c , a 44If something bad happens, come straight to Mommy y or Daddy and we*U make it better.*' Children learn this advice very early; but when the 44something bad" is fire, I such advice can be a prescription for tragedy. g Sometimes children must act first and look for help t< afterward. Fortunately, it's easy to teach a young child a how to save his own life from two common fire d emergenices: clothing fires and fire in the home. When clothing catches fire, a child's instinct is to run d for help. But running fans the flames. And since fire s burns up, staying upright endangers the face and eyes. t< Teach your child instead to learn a life-saving game: s "Stop, drop and roll." Teach the child that, if his a clothing catches fire, he should stop where he is, drop to v the ground and roll back and forth until the fire is out. Start teaching stop, drop and roll by performing the t< technique with the child. Emphasize that, if clothes catch e fire, the child must stop, drop and roll before calling for tl help or doing anything else. d Since young attention spans are short, teach with fre- d quent sessions ? perhaps once or twice a day - and keep each session under 10 minutes. ti Once the behavior is learned, reinforce it with frequent o X\ /-C\ ADVANC SKPB HflERME PUKE Fly to Colorado with Piedr Breckenridge, Copper Mountai 11T. 1 or winter iiark. lances start at on r, * - Colorado Sk For details,caltyour mite?agenror'f^afTTwnrs tour dt Prlc?

Ask your hild, 44What would you do if your clothes caught fire?'* nd watch the little one go. Those acrobatics could save a oung life. ' ~ Another game can teach tots how to escape from fires; t's called "Stay low and go." Since smoke and toxic ases rise, leaving the best air at the floor, this game caches children to roll out of bed, crawl out of the house nd wait at a specified point outside when the smoke ietector sounds. Explain that the rest of the family will hear the smokfe ietector and 44stay low and go" themselves, so the child hould concentrate on simply getting out. This exercise; so, should be taught with frequent, short sessions and a chedule of drills. Make sure to set off the smoke detector ,t least once, using the test button, so the child will know /hat is sounds like. By age five, the child is ready to learn advanced escape ecnmques: reeling the bedroom door, for instance, and xiting through the window if the door feels hot. Now is he time to install escape ladders on second-story winows and to hold regular home-fire escape drills, if you on't already. No child should wait until school to learn fire safety rchniques. It's easy and fun to teach kids to save their wn lives, so start today. sdM.: :~ MAVE 5. riont Airlines, and ski at Vail, n, Steamboat Springs, Aspen ly $215 per week.* rmoauBniEsr i Packages-** v * * - * *? f _ J 1:L.
