Dr. Pelka introduced his ad
dress by saying that he had been
mi quoted by Anchorage news
papers, which attributed to him
the remark that “80 percent of
the Valley’s school children suf
fer postural defects.” Dr. Pelka
said he actually was reading
from a quotation which stated
that “Surveys made on large
groups of school children and Se
lective Service records show that
over 80 per cent of individuals
examined have poor posture.”
Dr. Pelka then added that he
had been amazed, in studying fig
ures on the Valley’s children la
ter, to learn that postural defects
did average exactly 80 percent.
He admitted that he would have
estimated the figure to be even
slightly higher than that.
The specialist recommended
proper parental posture, as an
example, and proper nutrition as
the two best methods of avoiding
postural defects.
During the business session of
the meeting, the fate of the teen
age movement in the Valley was
discussed. After lengthy study
of the question, it was decided
that the P-TA will sponsor a so
cial club for students of the jun
ior high school age group.
Questionnaires will be drafted
to send to parents asking the di
rection they feel recreation plans
should take for students of senior
high school level.
