 DR. POTTS ORDERS PRINCIPALS TO AVOID SCHEDULING TESTS ON HIGH HOLIDAYS

Each year CKJA distributes reIigious caiendars to schooi principais, schooi
officiais and others in the community. These caIendars Iist aII of the significant
Jewish, Christian and Isiamic hoIidays, provide a brief expianation of the nature
of the hoIiday and indicate the extent to which chiidren might be absent from schooi
for reIigious Observances on that day. At severai Lexington pubiic schooIs standard-
ized tests were administered this past year during the Jewish High Hoiidays. Al-
though Jewish students had a Iater opportunity to make-up these tests, it was not
without some inconvenience. At the request of the CKJA Board, a Ietter was sent
to Schooi Superintendent Guy Potts questioning why this had occurred. In response,
Dr. Potts has sent a memo to aII Prihcipais and SchooI Counseiors epraining that
there was no reason for this to happen. Dr. Potts stated: ”There shouid not be
any reason why tests shouid be scheduied on any of the days that confiict with
the Jewish High Hoiidays. I want you to pay particuiar attention to this matter
in the future in order to avoid a repetition of this year‘s oversight.” CKJA past
president CharIes Gorodetzky sent a Ietter to Dr. Potts thanking him for his prompt
action on this matter.

CKJA's FIRST CPR PROGRAM

You have just returned home from dinner and your spouse begins to complain
about a sharp pain radiating across the chest and up toward the neck. As you go
to the telephone to call your physician, your spouse collapses. Do you know what
to do?

Each year over 1 million people die of heart attacks in the 0.8. About 350,000
die before they get to the hospital. In a heart attack situation, the first few
hours are the most critical. As a result, knowing how to help a victim can often
make the difference between life and death.

In recent years, a technique has been developed to provide emergency care to
heart attack victims. It is a technique that is designed for use by non-medical
personnel. This technique is called Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). In
response to the need for community wide training in this life saving technique,

CKJA successfully conducted its first basic CPR training program on December 17th
at Ohavay Zion Synagogue. Nineteen members of the Jewish Community received
instruction provided by a team of specialists certified to teach CPR by the American
Heart Association.

The CPR training program began at i p.m. with a movie and slide show explaining
the symptoms of cardio pulmonary distress and the basic elements of CPR technique.
The participants then watched a demonstration and practiced the technique on
specially designed mannequins. The trainees were also shown a film on Emergency
Medical Services and, after a dinner break, took both written and practical exams.
In addition to basic CPR, the trainees learned the related techniques for removing
obstructions from airways and the special methods used in administering resuscita-
tion to infants. The program was completed after IO p.m.

If there is enough interst, an additional CPR training program will be conducted
by CKJA in the Spring. For further information or to express your interest in a
Spring program, please contact David Wekstein.
