oh Ww rn Many Likely Went Home Disappointed It was a still, hot, muggy Sat- urday night in New York, .the kind of nighf that drives fami- lies out of their apartment houses and homes into the streets and parks, onto their tenement fire escapes, and into their autos for long, aimless cruises' along the webwork of the city's highways -- the kind' of sense-dulling night that makes people hope for something to happen to take their minds oft the weather's oppression, Then, something happened. From the radio came tense bul- letins: Flight 102--Pan Ameri- can's London-bound -Boeing 707 jet--taking off at 8.37 from Long Island's Idlewild Airport, had lost two wheels from its four- wheeled left landing gear. There were 113 people aboard. The big 707 was .circling, preparing for a crash landing. The whole city seemed to sit bolt upright. From Manhattan, from Queens and Brooklyn on the western bulge of Long Island, whole families poured into cars and headed for Idlewild. Within minutes, thou- sands of autos were turtle- crawling the highway mazes leading to the field, choking the roads for five miles in all direc. tions. In the centre. of it all, airport, .}« - officials briskly and calmly set" routine emergency procedures into motion. A score of fire trucks, dozens of ambulances and police cars, all with their red lights flashing, took up their stations along Runway 13 (point- ing 130° southeast), toward the end of its 11,200-ft. stretch. Orb- {ting above the field, Flight 102's Pilot Edward Sommers, 44, kept checking with the tower for wind diréétion and the state of preparations for his landing. (Meanwhile, stewardesses served dinner to the remarkably hun- gry passengers.) At Pilot Som- mers' request, Idlewild opera- tions sent out fire trucks to lay down a 4-in. pillow of foam on the last 3,000 ft. of the runway. The plane swung above in wide circles, jettisoning some of Its heavy takeoff (104,000 lbs.) tuel load and burning up most of the rest at low altitude, wait- Ing. for foaming operations to be: tom pleted. 3»12.25, nearly four hours - | afte Pilot 'Sommers took off, he:= aie sin, expertly putting down most:of the plane's weight on" MATURALLY -- Of course, this 'allow is a happy man. He's finally gotten where most of us want to be, aa Xi oy E 2 RA ls its good right gear. As the 707 eased over on the left, scraping the damaged strut on the co» crete: runway, huge sheets of sparks flashed into the air, un- til at last the plane rolled safely to a stop, a good 200 feet short of the foam carpet. At least ~.1,000-spectators and airport em- "ployees surged forward, despite the obvious hazard of leaking fuel and fire. A baby in the crowd whimpered; her mother snapped: "Shut up and watch!" As the first passengers and crew slid down emergency chutes, a burst of applause rip- pled the tension-charged air. "It was all over. Slowly, al- most reluctantly, the 50,000 or more New Yorkers drifted back 'to their cars and edged their ways homeward, drenched still by the humid pall, their senges once again dulled by New York's night heat. Self-Contained Moonshine Plant Kozo Ohishi, 46, went home to Pippu (pop. 8,600) in northern Japan the other day, celebrating with proud sobriety the end of a 25-year binge during which he "never touched a drop." Ohishi, only 19 when he suf- fered internal injuries in a traf- sw fie accident, seemed to have. "made a full recovery after sur: geons patched up his torn stom- ach and intestines. But by 1934, when he was working as the vil- lage well digger, Ohishi found that he felt flushed and giddy, and his head got heavy ("like a sake hangover") soon affer he . ate bread or potatoes. Friends twitted him for secret drinking. In China, during. World War II Army medics rated him "per- fectly fit." So officers continued to abuse him for 'drunkenness, while enlisted buddies searched in vain for his source of booze. Back home after war's end, Ohishi tried to avoid starches, but with a wife 'and four grow- ing children he could not always afford the more expensive meat and vegetables. Even his family sadly wrote him off as a sly, sol- itary drinker. Six doctors in a row. refused to believe him or to treat him. The site of Ohishi's secret still might have remained -a secret still it he had not gone $:=to Hokkaido University Hoapt-:~ F=4al in Sapporo. . TEER - "= There, doctors humored the- -patient by trying the test diets - he suggested. They had to admit that Ohishi was right: starches were bad for him, and bread was the worst. Dr. Tsuneo Takada, 30, took samples of Ohishi's di- gestive juices. In them micro- biologists found a flourishing growth of a yeastlike fungus, Candida (or Monilia) albicans, occasional cause of human infec- tions, but usually in the mouth or the vagina. In a normal gut, Candida may occur without caus- ing fermentation. But in Ohishi's repaired bower there was a little pocket where the Candida hid, multipleid, and busily fermented carbohydrates to form alcohol. Dr. Takada kept Ohishi in the' hospital for a month-on tricho- mycin, a home-grown Japanese antibiotic. Satisfied that Candi- da had been knocked out, he fed Ohishi test meals of starchy foods. Ohishi stayed stone so- ber, hopes that his built-in moonshine plant will remain shut down. Higgins had bought a guitar and played it for hours on end, always holding his finger in the same place on the same string. His wife became desperate and when she could endure it no longer said to her husband: "You know, other guitars have more than one note and the players move their fingers from string to string all the time." "Of course they do," replied Higgins. "They're looking for the place. I'Ve found it." 1 CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 6, Curve LA Any fox 7 Introduce 4, ¥xehange 2 Dress 8. Jostle 12.

Around the 4th Infantry Divi. sion non-commissioned officers' club at Fort Lewis, Wash. last winter, the word was out:. "See Coogan if you want to go over- seas," maybe to a cushy assign- ment in Paris, Sergeant First Class William Coogan, at 38 a sharp-looking, 14-year regular with a good record, had the ex- pert and ready assistance of Specialist Fifth Class George B. Huller, at 23 a six-year man with an equally fine record, on duty as a personnel clerk at division headquarters. Theirs was the job of filling in the names when Pentagon, orders called for over- seas billets by classification, and Huller's initials were all that was needed to make the orders effective. Coogan collected $10 to $200 from each would-be overseas soldier, and Huller did the paperwork, juggling classi- fications and assignments to send the customer where he wanted to go. The Coogan-Huller travel ser- vice flourished, added a "travel now -- pay later" system for men who looked like good credit risks, experimented with a "'group-payment plan" when se- ven G.I.s promised $185 to get a buddy to Korea.

H, Lok, Canada De- partment of Agrictilture econo- mist, told the Agricultural Insti- tute of Canada at Winnipeg. It is understandable therefore that farmers.and even universi- ty professors look upon tech- nical research with mixed feel- ings. But to abandon research would conflict with humanitar- janism at a time when there are many chronic hunger problems in the world, said Mr. Lok. » ° Ld Solutions to the low income question are more likely to come from caution In purchasing ex- ensive equipment and, on arger farmsg in using such innp- vations 'to the fullest extent, he thought. LJ * LJ Vertical integration,is an ap- proach to stabilizing farm income and is a move towards greater of operation. This method limits the farmer's inde- pendence in his role as manager and tends. to hasten the evolu- tion of the farm family way into a business corporation which though it may still be a family affair, has a changed set of val- ues. LJ J L Technical advances usually in- crease production and, when widely adopted, bring about a' marked decline in prices through the whole of the agricultural in- dustry. In private industry those who cannot keep pace are elim- inated as an essential aspect of our economic system -- witness the fate of the corner grocery-- and this is the price paid for broader benefits. Society supports those individuals whose state of welfare falls below a social minimum. * * ° In agriculture adjustments take place slowly, partly because of the intervention of legislation to assist the farmer who, thereby, has his sense of independence un- dermined and does little to ex- plore solutions to the low in- come problem. Mr. Lok sald economists were partly to blame: for this attitude in "that their well-meaning ef- forts on the farmer's behalf left him feeling that his low-ineonie problem was inevitable -- a case of historic determinism. . * - In some countries which have not succumbed to the dissection of the agricultural industry through vertical integration, in- tegration has taken place from within the industry, through farm co-operatives, enabling the farmer to extend control over the economic resources to his own advantage. "Interestingly enough," com- mented Mr. Lok, "in the country where farm co-operatives have been most successful, the farm- ers have managed to stay free of state support to a remarkable degree. There are many factors that account for the success of "tarm co-operatives in some coun. tries and, by comparison, their, IT TAKES TIVE SECONDS to snuff out lighted tobacco and maybe two minutes to black. out a campfire.

Redistributing in- come through price supports in- stead of direct payments to farm- qrs may be further at the expense of efficlency. Again there is con- flict between efficiency of large scale operations and the values associated with the smaller fam- ily farm." The changes in the you siructure of the far] pula- tion have fren recognize Lor one of the most important problems of the next quarter century and material should be gathered to enable the ranking of these values in order of importance. That would be a project to be under- taken by several branches of learning. It would transcend ec- onomic theory as we presently know it and would achieve an- other step towards 'unity of science." Until such a project is accept- ed, Mr. Lok concluded, econo- mists must be sensitive to the fact that material goods alone do not make for the fulfilment of the farmer's destiny. There's nothing wrong with "coffee" served by some restaur- ants that a little coffee wouldn't cure. Upsidedown to Prevent Peeking 3 4 117 4 | Best Method Is Mouth-To-Mouth The American National Red Cross made it official; the pre- ferred method of artificial res- piration is for the rescuer to put his mouth to the victim's and breathe air into the victim's lungs about twelve tmies a min- ute. For children, the Red Cross recommends shallower breaths, a rate of about 20 to the minute. Already approved by the Na- tional Academy of Sciences -- National Research Council, and used by the U.S. armed forces, the mouth-to-mouth revival me- thod Is both the simplest and the oldest known to man. It re- turns to favor after years of re- liance on such awkward physi- cal maneuvers as the Shafer prone-pressure system and the Nielsen back-pressure, arm-lift method. Neither of these gets as much air into a victim's lungs as simply breathing into them af- ter clearing the mouth, throat and windpipe of obstructions. For rescuers who cannot stomach direct contact with a person who may be dead, a plastic tube is already on the market. Or, says the Red Cross, they can breathe through a porous cloth. - es' "When someone says," ... of course I'm no expert, but . . what he really means is that you're a fool if you don't take his advice on the subject. NDAY SCHo0l LESSON By Rev R. Barclay Waren B.A. B.D. Life -- Vanity or Victory? Ecclesiastes 5: 1-2, 4-12, 18-19, Memory Selection: Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thom in the fear of the Lord all the day long. Proverbs 23:12, What is life, anyway? King Solomon, the wisest man who ever lived, and one of the Highest glves his views in the book o Ecclesiastes. He diligently sought for wisdom and knowledge bus concluded that these alone were vanity. Then he turned to mirth and pleasure, "Whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them. I withheld not my heard from any joy." But despite these and all his possessions he cone cludes, "Behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit." Some have thought that Solo- mon did not believe in the ime mortality of the soul. They quote, "For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts} even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other} yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all {s vanity, All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dus again." But the very next words show that Solomon has been Ci cussing man from a physle viewpoint only, for he says, "Whe knoweth the spirit of man tha goeth upward, and the spirit the beast that goeth downwa to the earth?" Again in chapted 12 he says. "Then shall the dus} return to the earth as it wast and the spirit shall return unte God who gave it." Solomon is very certain that this life is not an end in itself. We are travelling to the judg- ment and a life beyond the grave. The book ends with these words, "Let us hear the conclusion of th whole matter: Fear God, an keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work inte judgment, with every secre} thing, whether it be good, ot whether it be evil." If we live for this life alone, truly it is vanity. But if we ae- cept the salvation provided for us by Jesus Christ in His death for us by Calvary and His rising from the dead as Victor, Te feve abunda : life. W shall that life victs Through faith in Christ we can overcome sin. To Him be all the praise.
