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.

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. 1978 FUND DRIVE REPORT Campaign pledges for 1978 now total 8183,1Q4 with standing.
