Show j School Tn J and VTJ J Horn 4g 7 by Dr. Daryl J. AAcCarty -j'f Executive Secretary r Utah Education Association -w W-rf jr By DARYL J. McCARTY r n II there's one sight more stating than the goods in a pawnshop window, it's the jfitems in your newspaper's -classified section-the "want His." VsOME people read every ingle one of these every ngle time they receive a py of the newspaper. Others tiple read the "Boats and tors" or "Homes for Sale" ' itions when they're in the The classified section of I f'ur newspaper may be very 1 " iportant to your child at this Sme of the year, so you lould be fure he or she tows how to use it. I SUMMER jobs will be clas-jn clas-jn fied under the "Help Want-ill Want-ill 4" section, and employers f till be hiring many teenagers )rough these ads. ' But it won't do your pildren much good if (1) I they don't know that such a 'handy source of information exists, and (2) they don't know how to use it once they become aware that it's there. WHY NOT take a good look at the classified, section tonight--and study the classifications clas-sifications and the way that some of these ads are worded. v If you have teenagers, they'll be interested in the "TV Stereo" section, "Autos for Sale," or even the "Lost , and Found" ads. THE ADS are written in a code that abbreviates key words. For instance, "Auto. Trans." means "automatic transmission," "air" stands for "air conditioning," and "P.S." and "P.B." mean "power steering" and "power brakes." After you've brushed up on how to use the classified section, sec-tion, gather the children around you and show them how to use it. MAYBE, after all that effort, ef-fort, your son or daughter won't find that summer job in the classified section. There are two things to do: have the children continue to read the "want ads," or have them compose an ad and place it in the "work wanted" section. |
