Gentlemen:
This is to call to your attention a potentially hazardous
activity suggested in your book by D. Keith Osborn end Dorothy Haupt .
entitled "Creative Activities for Young Children." On page'40 of the ,
1964 edition is a description of asbestos for use as a molding
material and on page 94 are recipes for making the asbestos npdeling ,
dough. In this connection, I am enclosing a letter by Professor'-
Irving J. Selikoff, M.D., to the Girl Scouts Headquarters warning_
about the hazards of using asbestos in this way." Prof. Selikoff,
a recognized expert m the field of asbestos disease epidemiology,
is the author of many articles on the subject. You may wish to
`
contact him for additional information.
