In bdth instances, safety features in corporated in vehicles are not con sidered as contributing factors. They are solely the result of drunk driving and poor tlriving habits of persons be hind the wheel who cross white lines and go crashing into intersections. We think much of the hullabaloo we see in the papers these days about safety of automobiles is misplaced. It should be put on the shoulders of driv ers who are not safety conscious. And that includes drivers who do not keep their cars in good mechanical condition (tires and Tights are the chief offend ers). Very few of the accidents and deaths can be attributed to lack of safety fea tures in cars, which are (and have been) improved from year to year by the manufacturers. This writer has been driving cars for about forty years, a half dozen differ ent makes, and not once has the lack of safety features in any of them plpted us in a dangerous situation. If any dangerous situation ever came about, it was the fault of the driver.

BABSON Babson Park, Mass., January 19—The news coming out of mainland China—where Communist Pfirty Chairman Mao Tse-tung’s leadership is being challenged—is confused and garbled. But the uprisings are signs of hope that China may now be on the way to throwing off the shackles which have ket- her isolated from the rest of the world. MAO HAS LOST HIS GRIP Like Stalin, Chairman Mao has been a forceful, unyielding leader. He and his co horts worked hard and suffered much in the long, successful effort to impose Communist rule on-Ghina. While China under his rule never has managed to make that widely her alded ‘‘great leap forward," she has pullad herself up from* the ruins of World War II to become a more viable country than ever— and even to become a nuclear power of somq stature. But now it appears that Mao has not moved with the times . . . that a number of the trusted comrades whom he himself put into places of power in the Communist Party organization in China have moved up to chal lenge his sole leadership and to oppose his hard-line policies. As a result, Mao haa lost his grip on the party apparatus. THIS IS NOT AN ANTI-COMMUNIST REVOLT The challenge to Mao's power has been building up for a couple of years. His per formance is being criticized by seasoned party members, many of whom have held high position in Chinese Communist circles for a long time. Some of these men were Mao’s comrades during the ‘‘long march” which preceded his rise to power in the late 1940’s. The opposition to Mao and his ideas is not an anti-Communist revolt. Those who are leading it are themselves Communist and de cidedly anti-capitalist. They remain loyal to Communism, though they question Mao's rigidity which has caused relations with Rus sia to be strained and which has isolated China from the world. They are also very much concerned because Chairman Mao has not made more headway in solving China’s pressing problems of food shortage and pop ulation increase.

Penfield Funny Bone The bone of a person’s upper arm, like so many parts of the body, bears a,Latin name. This bone, from the shoulder to the elbow, is called “humerus*" the Latin word for shoulder.. 7 • / The humerus has a lajrte end or knob where it joins the forearm at the elbow. At the back of the elbow a nerve rests against the knob. A blow at this spot produces a sharp, tingling sen sation. 7 Although it is somewhat painful, a person of ten laughs after he has received such a glow. A pun on “humerus” resulted in the expression “funny bone," a common name for that part of the humerus where the nerve rests. By RANDY GRIFFITH Should parents interfere his values lie.

THE “CULTURAL REVOLUTION" Chairman Mao’s answer to his critics has led to the present growing rebellion against DeGaulIe’s Latest 9 On two occasions this month. Presi dent Charles DeGaulle attacked U. S. policy in Vietnam and has attributed the war in that country to American policy. In doing so, he did not accuse the North Vietnamese of a share pf the blame. The General’s language shows a hos tility to U. S. interests and makes it once again clear he is this country’s primary antagonist in policy as well as in the field of public relations.
