Addressing the youngsters, Mrs. Klarberg told them that when approaching a dog, for example, th; hand must be extended slowly to the nose. "Then you let the dog smell your, hand," she explained. "Dogs have a fabulous sense, of smell.

Dogs can actually tell what you are all about simply bv the smell of vour hand." How to Pick Up Cats Another abuse she discussed was the manner in which some people pick up cats. She said most people rarely used two hands to pick up cats and many lift cats by their necks. She was joined by another teacher, Susan Schroer, who taught the children, who were aged 5 to 14, how to handle, feed and hold household pets. They also told the children about pet licensing, medical attention and services available the ASPCA, an agency that has come under increasing attack of late. And at the end of the program, it seemed that most of the youngsters were quite careful in their treatment of the turtles, a monkey and sther animals brought along by the ASPCA for demonstrations.

By HUGH WYATT Although 13 -year -old Juan Cepeda takes a fancy to dcgs, he has frequently brought out the beast in man's best friend. Humane society officials said he used the wrong approach in seeking such friendships. Brenda Wadler, 13, thinks the vorld of cats, but she too failed to used the right technique and the little tyks have often responded like jungle tigers. Officials of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals say such errors are not limited to children when it comes to the care and treatment of pets. Similar mistakes occur among most adults as well.

So, yesterday, the ASPCA sent a team of animal experts and others down to the Henry Street Settlement at 301 Henry St. to attempt to help prevent what one official called "widespread abuse" of pets. How to Approach a Dog "It's unfortunate, but most people don't know anything about the care of animals, including feeding them," said Emily Klarberg, an educational aide for the ASPCA.

He showed how the new system worked by conducting a tour of the emergency room of St. Luke's and simulating how a patient would be taken care of. Isolated Room The patient would be escorted to an isolated room, where his blood pressure and pulse rate would be taken by a specially trained nurse and physician. An electrocardiogram would follow and be displayed on a TV screen, which shows "each and every heartbeat of the patient," Schluger said.

Schluger said that "death from heart attack- is the major medical emergency confronting this city and most of the 26,000 heart-related deaths occur because the victims do not receive prompt medical attention." "Priority Treatment" He said that at the emergency heart care stations "commitment to our standards will mean that every' patient with chest pain suggestive of cardiac pain will "This is just the beginning," said Dr. Joseph Schluger, chairman of the association's cardiac care committee, at a press conference and demonstration at St. Luke's Hospital. He said that 26 other hospitals throughout the city had applied so far to participate in the program, "and the idea is to get every hospital in the city up to standards so that they can qualify. Some two thirds of the city's hospitals have emergency rooms and coronary care units the prime requirements, he said.

Hospitals Named Schluger said that the hospitals that had qualified as of yesterday, in addition to St. Luke's, included Beth Israel, New York Hospital and St. Vincent's in Manhattan. According to Schluger, Brook-dale and Long Island College Hospitals in Brooklyn were also program participants, as well as Staten Island Hospital, the U.S. Public Health Service Hospital and the Richmond Memorial By JOHN Ninety older New Yorkers were, honored yesterday for-giving their time, their energy and especially their love as foster grandparents to institutionalized physically and emotionally handicapped children.

The seniors, all beaming with joy, received the city's Foster Grandparent Service Award from Mrs. Abraham Beame at City Hall. They were cited for their work in the program, which is sponsored by the Department for the Aging. Mrs. Beame, noting that she was a grandparent herself, said she knows what a wonderful feeling it is to experience the love of a grandparent for a child.

Graf Hying Success The foster grandparents spend four hours a day, five days a week in one of seven New York City-area institutions. The children whom they care for include the abused, battered and abandoned as well as the emotionally disturbed, retarded and handicapped. The history of the three-year-old program has that in many instances the foster grandparents have succeeded with the children given up on the child, Paullay managed to get her to say several words in English and one or two in Hebrew. The oldest grandparent, to be honored was August Wendelin, 87, who has been in the program for two years. Mollie Mandell, 75, said that since she has become a-foster grandparent, she has been repaid a thousandfold.

"Since becoming a foster about eight years ago, my life was very lonely. Since becoming a foster grandparent, I have gamed new self-respect and gratification. I have a purpose in life and look forward to tomorrow to share my love with these children," Mrs. Marell said. George Figliolo, the only man enrolled in the program at Manhattan's New York Foundling Hospital, said: "Children know those who really care.

They will, rush with open arms to those who give them love and attention. They want to share their experiences with you and to call you Grandpa." Other institutions involved in the program are the Children's Center in Manhattan, Queens Children's Hospital, the Manhattan Development Center, the University Settlement House's Head Start Eangsbrook Jewish Medical Center in Brooklyn, and United Cerebral Palsv of Queens Day Care Center.
