Bynum issued the directive iFriday and indicated the deci sion to teach sexual information should best be left to local school boards. “No doubt about it,” Bynum said. “They (health officials) would love to see it mandated into the curriculum. “It’s more an issue of do the locals control how it’s handled versus the state dictating how it’s handled in that area.” Bynum said none of the five textbook publishers covered by the order have objected. But the Health Department infectious disease control dire ctor Joe Pair disagrees. He said the department is fighting an epidemic of sexually transmit ted diseases in the 15- to 19- year-old age group. “We’ve always tried to get venereal disease education insti tuted in the public schools,” Pair said. “We do have a problem of POLTERGEIST: Fact or Fantasy?

State Sen. Betty Andujar, R- Fort Worth, said to deny educa tion on sexually transmitted dis eases to youngsters who may be exposed to them amounts to ignoring a real and significant health risk. The education agency’s deci sion to delete venereal diseases from textbooks comes a year af ter Bynum ordered the removal of Mirriam-Webster’s New Col legiate Dictionary from a list of approved textbooks due to so- called “dirty words” the diction ary defined. 5^ KAY, Have A Beauti- ^ ^ ful Week Sweetheart. ^ T Love T yb SHAUN ^ ********* % NOW IN STOCK: mitre THE SOCCER SPECIALISTS SOCCER SHOES *29“ United Press International BATON ROUGE, La. — Workers at Exxon Corp. refin ery wastewater plants nation wide may have been affected by a harmful substance, a federal safety official said. Whatever the substance was, it caused an increased likelihood of miscarriage during pregnan cy in the wives of Baton Rouge workers, said Dr. Steve Fox of the National Institute for Occu pational Safety and Health. Evidence suggests reproduc tive problems can be caused by lead and mercury, which are among hazardous materials handled by Exxon wastewater workers, he said. The institute is trying to find out why Baton Rouge workers’ wives have an increased likeli hood of miscarriages during pregnancy, Fox said Friday. The increased chance of mis carriage showed up in a 1981 Exxon study. T he $250,000 study showed pregnancies occurring after the husband worked in the treat ment plant were more likely to fail than those occurring before such exposure. “While the severe limitations of the data inhibit firm conclu sions, there is a statistical associa tion between wastewater treat ment plant exposure and adverse pregnancy outcome,” the study said. The study, by Environmental Health Associates of California, concluded the reproductive cells of male electricians, mechanics and instrument workers might be damaged temporarily by exp osure to chemicals. Exxon officials have said they will follow up the 1981 study through long-term monitoring of the pregnancies of workers’ wives, charting of the history of the women’s pregnancies or test ing reproductive systems of workers. Federal officials who investi gated health complaints at the refinery cited Exxon for three safety violations Friday. Howev er, inspectors said the violations were not serious. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited Ex xon for employees working in standing water, holes in the floor over a separator at the was tewater treatment plant and in adequate training of wastewater plant workers in the use of re spirators. The Baton Rouge refinery, which is the second largest in the United States, produces gaso line, asphalt, diesel, jet fuel, waxes and lubricants. * * * * •A ^ Every Thurs-Senior Citizens . ^ Shows at 3:30.
