WIDE, WONDERFUL WORLD By FRANKLIN J. MEINE Editor, the American Peoples Encyclopedia. T HE flying team of Daedalus and Icarus never had a chance to reach the sun. Even though solar heat hadn’t melted their wax wings, the high altitude would have resulted in the first space travel casualty. When flying, the effects of oxygen want are usually not felt below 5,000 feet. Up to 10,000 feet they usually are not serious. Flying above 10,000 feet may give the flyer a false sense of well-being. Every act requires more effort above 14,000 feet, and vision and judgement are im paired. From 23,000 to 25,000 is considered the maximum to which man can ascend for brief periods without supplementary oxygen. However, some barrel-chested Chilean natives live at altitudes of 17,000 feet and work in mines at altitudes as high as 19,000 feet. * * * Thousands of people owe their lives to parachutes when they have been forced to abam! m an aircraft.

Pope Pinckney N. Abrams J. Dave Caldwell Ralph B. Baker THS . By LYN CONNELLY DUDDING actors and actresses, take this advice from Betsy Palmer—be a television panelist if you possibly can . . . The pretty blonde panel member of ABC- TV’s “Masquerade Party” thinks that paneling has some definite advantages over acting—although she wouldn’t advise anyone to forsake a million dollar Holly wood acting career . . . “In pan eling,” says Betsy. ‘There’s no scene-stealing . . . You don’t run into the same rivalry that you often do among acton . . . Since every panelist has his own field, his own techniques and delivery, you’re not competing for atten tion. . . . The only rivalry comes from trying to guess a guest’s identity, and that’s a game. “There’s another important ad vantage to paneling; you don’t have to memorize dialogue ... That’s * particular blessing for people with poor memories” . . . Betsy gogr, on to point out that working on a panel does away with long rehearsals, moving from one location to another, and the 101 worries connected with keep ing your name in the bright lights. Bat If yoa think the 26-year-old actress Is giving ap her acting career for qois panels, you’re wrong . . . She’s been noting since college days and feels there’s toe much of the ham in her to stay away from the stage or camera very long . . . You may have seen Betsy in the movies "The Long Gray Line,** "Queen Bee** and "Mr. Roberts” . . . Last summer she was active in sum mer stock and before that she had a fairly good role in the short lived Broadway play “Affair of Honor** . . . She’s also done a number of TV plays. When not involved with TV, Betsy lives the life of a house wife (a very good one, say her friends) with her obstetrician hus band, Dr. V. J. Merendino . . . Other pursuits include reading, a wide variety of outdoor sports, piano-playing and singing lessons. Miss Hi Miss "I REMEMBER” BY THS OLD TIMERS From Harvey A. Heath, Detroit, Michigan; I remember when the trains pulling the freight across the "Great Nebraska Desert*’ would have engineers that tooted a greeting as they passed your homestead shack. We never ate refrigerated fruit and vegetables. Until I was grown and went ."away” to school, I had never had fresh fruit, except a Christmas Orange, or fresh green vegetables in the winter time. We did our own butchering, canned extra vegetables during the summer and made sauerkraut, stomping method, and sold corn at 10c a bushel and potatoes at about the same price. Purchases were seldom made in cash. We hunted, ate what we raised, built own soddy (dug-out with sod chunks above ground), later years baled hay or thick bales of straw for use above ground. With ce ment and plaster inside and out, the foot-thick bales of straw made a warm and durable construction for both man and beast, and on Sunday we worshipped in a straw- baled church with a wooden spire pointing heavenward. Laymen took turns preaching, as mission ary preachers came our way only once in a while. In later years, after I began teaching school, I walked. 15 miles each way, every week-end, to see the girl that has now been my wife for over 33 years.
