drunk driving."
She further pointed out that “out
•f our current 50,000 automobile
deaths a year, close to 21,000 are the
result of collisions with other motor
vehicles."
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.
So, let’s keep things in the right

exports, the U. S. is banning more than
80 per cent of American imports from
that country. Rhodesia is not an ene

Babson’s Pomt of View O#:
Rebellion In China
By ROGER W. 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. Already 750 million strong,

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.
