;a < I SO YOU’VE BEEN CHOSEN OUR LEADER In an organization, anyone who shows an interest, volunteers to work, and isn’t too critical of fellow members will rise quickly to a leader ship position. There are two kinds of presidents. One accepts merely for the honor. The organization begins to die a little while that kind of president is in of fice. The other kind of president takes his or her responsibilities seriously and does everything possible to help the organization go forward. What are some of the goals of a good president? 1. To make people glad to be a part of the organization. 2. To make people want to par ticipate. 3. To see that the work of the organization gets done through his own efforts and by the work of the other officers, committee chairs and enthusiastic members. The first rule for the new leader is to start out on the right foot, with a smile and at least a pretense of self assurance. Don’t apologize for ner vousness; you will surely disappoint your audience. Next, you must decide to be prepared If you can’t spend the time to organize the agenda for each meeting, you shouldn’t have taken the job. Throughout your term of of fice you must organize, work hard, keep priorities in mind, and take your responsibilities seriously. Finally, you must help your members participate fully. Sure enough thinking time to figure out where you need help and who can give it. Don’t try to do everything yourself. Once people get in gear, they are going to need appreciation and recognition for their efforts. Par ticipation will be far more en thusiastic if there is some positive feedback. The president should sincerely appreciate efforts of each and every participating member, and let the other members know what is being done. Remember that everytime you give a chairperson a chance to report, you’re also giving leadership experience. PEOPLE PROBLEMS Despite the various and not always helpful personalities of your members, you must cheerfully deter mine to do your best to understand them and work with them. All kinds of people join organizations. Besides the brightest and the best, there are the dullards, the talkers, the critics, the neurotics, the gossips, and the overly sensitive. Real leaders don’t get hung ud on the faults of members. Instead, they appreciate members , potential. All persons have contribu- ( tions to make. Try to control the ex- j cesses, and ignore what you can’t f control. The most annoying people ( are usually the most lonely, unap preciated, insecure and unsatisfied. Spend some time thinking about how their talents may be put to use. Listen j to what they have to say. Good ideas £ don’t come only from great per- ^ sonalities. j FOOT CARE Diabetes can affect the feet r because of nerve damage and >j changes in the blood vessels. t You can help prevent problems by j following some general rules for pro- ^ per foot care. DAILY Inspect your feet. Look and feel for p redness, corns, callouses, c dryness, cuts, blisters, and irritated e areas. n Wash your feet daily using a v washcloth and a mild soap. Rinse well and dry gently (pat) with a soft y towel. i, Wear shoes that are comfortable n and that fit properly. Break new h shoes in wearing them for only one M hour on the first day. Increase wear- g ing time gradually. Wear clean cotton or wool blend socks. They should not be darned, a have holes or tight elastic. OTHER TIPS FOR CARE r Rub corns and callouses gently with a pumice stone. Call your doctor if the area looks red or irritated. a Use Vaseline or a lotion containing j lanolin on dry skin. 5 Test the water temperature with E your elbow. Beware of hot water v which can bum. You may not feel the -j temperature on your feet. g Cut your toenails straight across and even with the tip of your toe, us- a ing a nail clipper. Smooth rough v edges with an emery board. If s toenails are thick and hard, soak feet ^ in warm water for 10-15 minutes before trimming nails. Report foot injuries and possible g problems to your doctor immediately ^ and follow the treatment instructions. t THINGS TO AVOID y Do not use harsh commercial pro- j ducts such as iodine or medicated j pads. Do not cut your own corns or s callouses. J Do not use sharp scissors or a metal < file when cutting toenails. j Do not go barefoot. Your feet need ( protection at all times. Do not use hot water bottles or j heating pads on the feet or legs. 2 Do not wear garters or hosiery with tight elastic. j Take good care of your feet. They / work hard for you!

Banks and Hawkins both said xlucation and banking posed two ireas where progress has not met heir hopes.

JESSE JACKSON (Continued from page 13) tional Basketball Association season | next year,” the potential candidate! quipped at one point in referring to> the 1990 mayoral campaign beginning in about 13 months. However, Jackson emphasized that “D C. is under congressional occupa tion... We need to free the city from the plight of being occupied by of-, ficials who are not accountable to the | people... This is the only capital j among democracies in the world where its citizens do not have the I right of self-determination.” Noting that Mayor Barry was j originally elected on a “Free D.C.” campaign, Jackson said he will aid the city’s home rule drive to get more elected representatives and senators in the U.S. Congress. Rep. Walter E. Fauntroy [D.C. delegate], the city’s only member of Congress without a full vote, accompanied Jackson to the media session, but the mayor was not present. Barry and Jackson reportedly met later after the District of Columbia City Council passed legislation view ed as restricting the new resident’s ability to raise campaign funds by limiting the amount of speaker’s fees for public officials. When barred reporters persisted in asking Jackson about his campaign plans after the meeting, he replied that their ques tions were “irrelevant.” COUNCIL (Continued from page 13) Rev.

The Governor’s Advocacy Council for Children and Youth recommends and reviews programs and provides information to the public about children and youth. For Jews, oppression is social and psychological. It is the feeling of not quite belonging, of not quite being an American like all other Americans because non-Jews hold you personal ly responsible for every action of the Israeli government, because non Jews regard you as being different in some indefinable way. You are not a person. You are “the Jew.” The black response to the social and psychological oppression of Jews is a shrug of the shoulders, as if to say, so what? On a crowded street, Jews look like white people and are not identifiable as Jews. Blacks are always identifiable. The social and psychological oppression to which blacks are subjected is of a different order. , Many Jews find this difficult to ac cept. Why? Because much of their identity as Jews is involved with see ing themselves as victims. There was a time in American history when it was easier for blacks to regard Jews as brothers and sisters among the op pressed of the earth. However, with the rise of Jewish affluence and the Six-Day War, the image of Jew-as victim ceased to match the reality. The self-image of many American Jews does not correspond to the ob jective reality. So important is the self-image of Jew-as-vlctim that some Jews borrow such an identity through identifying with the Holocaust, with American blacks or with a variety of groups around the world fighting for what is described as “Uberation." Blacks do not need to borrow suf or * To maintain, then, that there is no :ommonality of experience between blacks and Jews is not to be pessimistic. It is to merely describe the reality. Blacks do not share the Jewish view of black-Jewish rela tions. This does not mean that everything blacks say is correct. However, everything they say is not wrong either. To the extent to which Jews rid themselves of prior assump tions, they will be creating new possibilities for black-Jewish rela tions. But new possibilities cannot :ome from old assumptions. Rather than assuming that they (now what blacks and Jews share, it s wiser for Jews to assume that they (now nothing and are willing to listen md learn. What they will hear may ae painful and it might take much ef fort to learn a new truth or two. But that is such a small price to pay for a lew freedom. Listening is very central in Judaism and, as Jews, we know that it is not only a physical act; it is also in act of attentiveness to that which is without and that which is within. Listening is a way of expressing the sacred and receiving the sacred. How healing it would be if American Jews listened to blacks. If they did, what they would hear beneath the angry words is a deep ind excruciating agony which comes when it is felt that no one cares, the loneliness experienced when no one seems to be listening.

Allow for different traditions, activities and prioritiaa Be patient and understanding with spouses who were not raised on the farm or in a family business —When a problem comes up, work together to solve it. Evaluate possi ble solutions by listing pros and cone Compromise to arrive at a con sensus about the beet solution. Decide who will do what, when and how. Make sure each person is clear about his or her part of the agree ment. Then put the plan into action on a trial basis If the problem still exists after a reasonable amount of time, try another solution. —Ib head off conflicts, avoid “what if...” fantasies and “if it wasn’t for...” regrets Think about what is hap< pening now. Ask directly for what you want, and remember that the other person has the right to say na Recognise and appreciate good ! work. “By allowing people time and space to be themaelvea and to do some things their own way, each generation can establish its own in dependence while maintaining does family ties,” Hawkins says Phil Davis Named To VP Post By Kraft Foods GLENVIEW, IL.—Kraft General Foods has announced that Philip J.
