ETTO LEADEE II 1 ^-i 'HealthFor All J Modern Booby Traps I ~ ~~ | \ Do you yearn ror the adventur-| i ous life of your pioneer ancestors? j j Does the thrill of danger appeal to i you. Just look around you. You are surrounded by dangers Grandma never dreamed of. Like a scout moving into*Indian territory, the modern woman must ' have the soul of an adventurer when she enters her kitchen. She is surrounded by booby traps, the modern devices that she uses every i M day. She rarely understands what makes them work, but if they don't i work she can always try a hohhie pin. This may do the trick 99 i times, but the 100th time may mean ! electrocution. Her husband out ' in the field has a "safe" way o f unclogging the cornpicker without | shutting it off - until the day h e loses a hand. The use of modern equipment, i whether it's in the kitchen, in the j barn or fields, in the town dwe.IL " er's back yard, or in a factory, re- j .quires skilled hands and a clear, j alert mind. Most accidents with i 1 machinery are the result either of ignorance or of human failuiv. The machine is rarely at fault. 5 Machines, when anything i sj 3 wrong, stop working. But people | go right on trying, when they are upset, tir6d, or cross. It's not so | ; bad when you merely drop a plate, ; i but you are just as likely to push i - the wronp button on the electric ] ironer or" hastily pull out a n elec- ji 1 trical cord, with wet fingers. : In the old days the farmer with i 1 horsedrawn equipment had Jtd take ) ; a bfeak now and then to rest his { horses. Today he can drive himself j 'til he's ready to drop,,and often < does. The tractor doesn't mind. But' s the human body rebels, and then j t there's an accident. Fatigue and \ emotional upsets which temporarily blind the victim are behind too many accidents. It's high time we all began t o i realize the special demands that modern machinery makes upon the i j human -A ^ 1 uvmga n?iu use ii. i n e j push button age demands more of j - ua than mere knowledge of how to| push a button. We clon't all have to 1 be mechanics, but we must at least1 learn our own limitations in deal- j ings with the wonderful inventions | that should make our lives more1 happy, not more hazardous.

Powell told reporters here that1 j tnj,irs by Diaay Gillespie, ?Louis I Armstrong and Count Basie have : already been approved. The State Department strate j giats made their decision after ' j j coming to the conclusion that ? j j for some reason ? everybody likes j , .-iniencan jazz.

J The American ambassadors of ! hot licks will tour the Middle East, | ! i Africa, and Asia, according to ""Powell. 4 "The U. S. is going to emphadize Americana. We are going to get our cultural exchange program out of the gilded concert and opera hall and try to appeal to the mass of the people," Powell said: "We are going to use as far as possible mixed groups of artists? not all Negroes or all whites and specialize in folk and modern jazz' music and native and modern j dance."
