“Lubba dubba”, the “smart parts”
and the “sensational five” are part of
a new classroom video series vying
for the eyes and ears of children in
grades 3 to 5,
They are not new musical groups,
but three of the eight parts in a new
slick health program entitled “The
Inside Story with Slim Goodbody.”
Goodbody, a veteran of the Cap
tain Kangaroo show, wears his heart,
liver, intestines, bones and muscles
on the outside. It’s done via a human
body suit with the parts painted on.
In “lubba dubba,” the series star
ter, Slim reveals workings of heart
and circulatory system. He explains
the function of blood and conducts a
guided tour of the circulatory
system.
Other parts of the series explain
respiration, digestion, the muscular
and skeletal system, the senses, the
glands and the harmonious workings
of these systems by use of songs,
oversized models of human organs,
real-life filmed segments, animation
and historical reenactments.
“Slim,” really New York actor and
singer John Burstein, got the idea for
the Goodbody series about seven
years ago when he was entertaining
children on a hospital ship in New
York harbor. The ship provides
health care, health education and a
free lunch for hundreds ofdisadvan
taged kids and adults in summer
time.
“I realized,” he said, “that the
children who were coming to the

ship knew little about their bodies.
So I started to write a few songs to
help teach them.”
The first was “lubba dubba” and
the kids liked it. Burstein, encour
aged, worked up a whole show of
such songs and dreamed up a charac
ter to be a walking visual aid to what
goes on in the interior.
Slim eventually was asked to join
the “Captain Kangaroo Show.”
That’s where his unusual approach
was the subject of a story in an airline
magazine, and that, in turn, was how
Brian Schmidlin heard about him.
Schmidlin, at the time on the staff
of the University of Wisconsin-
Green Bay Center for Television
Production, had been asked to pro
duce a television program on health
for children.
He met Slim Goodbody and the
project took off
When it was tested in classrooms,
kids were completely attentive and
they liked Slim Goodbody.
Burstein was pleased, too.
“I wanted to give kids an enjoy
able experience of their bodies early
in life,' he said. “Guilt is the worst
thing in the world.
“In the Inside Story with Slim
Goodbody' we give children posi
tives, not a lot of don’ts. We teach
them to care for and appreciate their
bodies out of a sense of enjoyment
and love. That, I hope, is the mes
sage that comes through.”
After “lubba dubba,” the health
series includes:
—The Breath of Life: Inside re
spiration. A giant model of the lungs
helps Slim show how the diaphragm
and chest muscles work together to
draw oxygen into the lungs. Anima
tion shows how the respiratory and
circulatory systems work together to
carry oxygen to cells and get rid of
waste carbon dioxide and water
vapor. .
—Down, Down, Down: Inside
digestion. Slim shows the digestive
pathway on his bodysuit and explains
that food must be broken down phy
sically and chemically before the
body can make use of it.
—The Team That Hustles: Inside
bones and muscle. Slim discusses all
aspects of the skeletal system, from
what bones are made of to the diffe
rent types of joints.
—The Smart Parts: Inside brain
and nervous system. The human
brain is like a mission control room,
says Slim. It receives signals from
the nerves via the spinal cord and
sends messages back by the same
route. On a giant model of the brain,
Slim points out its major regions and
explains the various kinds of brain
activities located in each.

Fire damages country club,

United Press International
FORT WORTH — By the time
firemen arrived at a luxurious tum-
of-the-century country club Friday
“it was all over.” Damage was esti
mated at approximately $15 million.
The blaze at the Rivercrest Coun
try Club was fought by 75 firefighters
but “it was all over before we got
here,” said Ray Rhodes, a fire de
partment spokesman.
Firefighters, who expected to re
main at the scene throughout the
day, said the four-alarm blaze broke
out about 1:30 a.m. and little could
be done to save the structure. The
roof was gone when the first com
panies arrived.
The 2Vi-story colonial-style build
ing was built in 1911. Flames, visible
for several miles, soared 150 feet
high, witnesses said.
No injuries were reported but a
country club spokesman estimated
damage as high as $15 million. He
said the fire destroyed "irreplaceable
heirlooms, artwork and fumishinKi
Twenty-three fire trucks and
firefighters battled the blaze,
addition to those fighting the ill
several trucks patrolled the 11
rounding neighborhood, looking Hi
