Carty of Chicago, who has ex
perienced an emergency prepar
ation. One commercial airline emer
gency after another in recent
months has produced the famil
iar story of the calm steward

gers keep their senses until the
danger was over.
At the Atlanta Municipal Air
. port, one of the nation's busiest,
stewardesses and pilots today of
fered some modest explanations
for their conduct under stress
and some helpful hints for pas'
sengers.
"You know you're the only
one who knows what to do and
you know you've got to do it,"
said stewardess Harriett Videt-
to of Augusta, Ga. "You just
know you can't let anybody
down when all those people are
depending on you."
No Time to Worry
Miss McCarthy once handled
emergency preparations for a
belly landing at Houston, Tex.,
when a faulty light indicated
gear trouble. According to air
lin& officials, such a situation is

s In all emergencies of this
kind, the passengers were pre

They were told to remove
their glasses, false teeth, high

tie claps. They were padded be

An airline spokesman said
sixty persons can be evacuated
from a plane in about three
minutes without panic. The ne

the possibility of an explosion
or fire.
The most common emergency
is landing gear trouble. Engine

Promised To Return
Yet, that was not the end. He
had announced that after He
had been put to death He would
return again to life. He had even
predicted that this would take
place on the third day after
His death, for He had said "De
stroy this temple (His body) and
in three days I will raise it up"
(John 2:19. The third day after
His death on Friday was Sun
day, according to the reckoning
then prevailent, which included
both the initial day and the final
day.
And on the Sunday after His
death He fulfilled this prophecy.

failure is another cause of crack

but airline officials say the
chances of it happening also are
remote.
"If we feather an engine at
night, nine times out of ten no
body knows it, and we would
n't call attention to it," said
Harriett Barrett, a stewardess
instructor. "But in the daytime,
passengers often notice engine
failure. In that case we merely
explain that It will only mean
losing some speed."

Tinwheel' Craft
In Demonstration
' Van Nuys, Calif. KU.R) Bu
reau of Aeronautics has wit
nessed a flight demonstration of
the "pinwheel" . strap - on - the -
back rocket-powered helicopter
which enables its pilot to fly
like a grasshopper.
In a demonstration Monday
by the Rotor-Craft Corp., pilot
Dick Whitehead put the one-
man aircraft, first of its kind,
into the air with a hop and then
came down, literally landing on
his feet which dangled beneath
the pinwheel blades, twirling
over his head.
The tiny 'copter, powered by
two rocket engines weighing
ress than a pound each, can be
folded to fit a hangar "the size
of a telephone booth," Rotor-
Craft President Gilbert Magill
said. Magill explained that the
purpose of the little craft is "to
fly an infantryman and his
equipment about the battlefield
and over terrain inaccessible to
other helicopters."
The "pinwheel" was develop
ed under a Navy contract and
will be sent to the Naval Air
Test Center at Patuxent River,
Md., for further performance
demonstrations.
Ike To Make Fight

axe, his chief economic adviser
reveals.
Gabriel Hauge, administrative
assistant to the president for
economic matters, said Eisen
hower has "spoken out several
times already" on the subject
of his aid program for foreign
nations. "I think the President is going
to make a very forthright at
tempt to lay the facts before the
people on this very important
subject," Hauge said.
Hauge discussed the aid pro
gram Sunday in an interview on

rity and beauty; His soul re
turned to take up its abode again
in that body; and Jesus Christ
came forth from the grave, glor
ious and immortal, in perfect
fulfillment of His prophecy.
Convincing Proof
This is the great event that
Christians commemorate o n
Easter Sunday; and it is an event
o f far-reaching significance.
Above all, it was the most con
vincing proof that His teachings
were the message of God to
mankind. In the course of His
lifetime He had wrought many
miracles. He had restored sight
to the blind; He had cured lepers
of their loathsome malady; He
had even raised dead persons to
life. Such wonders could be per
formed only with the direct
and extraordinary aid of God;
and the God of truth would not
work miracles in favor of false
hood. The culminating argu
ment for the divine approval of
His doctrine was His own re
turn to life on the third day
after His agonizing death on the
cross. Hence, on the first Easter
SundayJesus Christ established
for all time the truth of His
teachings. The proof that He
spoke to men in the name of God
is just a valid today as it was
nineteen, centuries ago. The res
urrection of Jesus Christ is an
historical fact which can be es
tablished with the same certain
ty .that we have of the historical
fact that Pontius Pilate was the
Roman governor of Palestine at
the time of the Crucifixion. Ac-'
cordingly, the doctrines preach
ed by Jesus Christ bear the seal
of divine truth. And among
those doctrines is His assertion
that He himself is the true son
of God, the second person of
the blessed trinity.
Pledge To All
The resurrection of Jesus
Christ is also a pledge to us
that we shall be granted the
privilege of a bodily resurrec
tion at the end of time. Me said:
"The hour is coming in which
all who are in the tombs shall
hear the voice of the son of God.
And they who have done good
shall come forth unto resurrec
tion of life; but they who have
done evil unto resurrection of
judgement" (John, 5:28). This
means that those who have serv
ed God faithfully in the brief
span of mortal life will rise
from the grave at some future
date and be admitted, in body
and soul, to everlasting happi
ness with God.
' Such is the consoling message
of Easter Sunday. At times it is
not easy to obey God's law, at
times we must endure great suf
ferings with courage if we would
be faithful to our duty. But, as
the glory of resurrection was
granted Jesus Christ in compen
sation for His patience and His
bravery in bearing the suffering
of Good Friday, so to those who
accept the crosses of life in full
conformity to God's will there
be granted peace and happiness
eternal.
Chewing Gum Theft
Sends Youth to Prison
Corvallis W.R) Robert
Dixon, 18, Monroe, was serving
a one-year sentence in the Ore
gon state prison today because
he stole a 5-cent package of
chewing gum.
Dixon waS on probation for his
part in an assault on a Eugene
millworker when he stole the
package of gum from a store in
Junction City on April 8. He
pleaded guilty to the charge and
was fined $10 and costs by a
Lane county justice of the
peace.
When Benton County District
Attorney John B. Fenner heard
of the incident, he had Dixon
brought before Circuit Judge
Fred McHenry who had put the
youth on probation. After a
stinging reprimand, Judge Mc
Henry revoked the probation
and ordered Dixon sent to the
penitentiary.

Congress Advised
To Heed Wishes of
Potato Industry
Washington (U.R) The ag
riculture Department has ad
vised Congress to heed the wish
es of the potato industry in de
ciding whether to impose na
tionwide controls to keep culls
off consumer markets and re
quire labeling by grade and or
igin. Department officials told a
House Agriculture Subcommit
tee they favored the "far reach
ing" proposal, provided the in
dustry wants it. But they warn
ed it would be ineffective and
unworkable" if the industry fail
ed to support it.
The subcommittee quickly dis
covered that the industry is
split in a sectional fight.
Would Help Prices
Colorado and North Carolina
producers testified that controls
would help bolster producer
prices. But Florida producers
voiced strong opposition.
Spokesmen for Ohio producers,
who also are opposed, were to
testify today.
The subcommittee, headed by
Rep. George M. Grant (D-Ala.),
is considering a dozen bills un
der which the nationwide con
trols would be invoked, if en
dorsed by two-thirds of the pro
ducers voting in a nationwide
referendum.
The controls would bar from
consumer markets so-called
"cull" potatoes which fail to
grade U. S. No. 2, the lowest
federal grade. Department offi
cials said that about 9 per cent
of a normal harvest are culls,
but could not say what percent
age of those actually sold in
fresh markets fall in that cate
gory.

Mr. B. G. ly wife and I are
very much concerned about our
oldest boy, 18-year-old Jimmy.
He is a bright boy and very
good in some respects, but we
feel he is headed for a lot of
trouble.
In the past year, Jimmy has
taken up with a boy who shares
his active intellectual interests.
They are both great readers and
talkers, and spend days on end
discussing the things they" read.
What worries us is that, they
have taken a very cynical atti
tude toward religion, family and
their teachers and schoolmates.
They seem to Consider everyone
beneath them and have isolated
themselves from all their form
er friends.
The two boys have been ac
cepted at the same college, but
we feel they should not con
tinue this relationship. They
don't seem to need other friends
as long as they have one an
other to talk to.

Until I met Gary I thought I

Gary and I are both skeptics and
there don't seem to be many

the same ideas and we get a lot

to resent our "isolation" because
they don't like to feel left out.
If you don't question things

will and I feel that Gary and

lege together, we can be sure
of having someone to share

Jimmy seems ready to question

By his own admission he and
Gary want to go away to college
together to "be sure of having
someone to share with," and he
and Gary have "the same ideas."
Jimmy should recognize that
"skepticism" for its own sake
can be as narrow as acceptance

Some Jokes Considered Funny
Indiscernible to Schizophrenics
By DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
'New York U.R) Some jokes
which most people consider
quite funny are indistinguisha
ble from the disturbed thinking
of schizophrenia, according to
Dr. Max Levin, a "psychiatrist.
But he said that for healthy peo
ple the jokes serve a healthy
and useful purpose.
To show what he meant, he
cited a schizophrenic woman
who thought a former employer
whose name was Smith, was her
brother. She was reminded that
her maiden name was Jones.
Her reaction was to remark that
one of her forefathers had
changed his name.
Dr. Levin's premise was that
many a professional gag writer
does no better than that while
working with the same struc
ture which represents a confu
sion of . "form" with "sub
stance." That is one ef the flaws
of schizophrenic thinking.
Blind to Inconsistency
Schizoprhenic thinking along
with that of many healthy peo
ple is also blind to inconsist
ency, and in that connection Dr.
Levin cited the following joke
as typical of a family of jokes:
"I can't see why people think
it so hard to give up smoking.
I've done it many times."
The schizophrenic in thinking
"distorts context," and so does
many a very funny joke, such
as: A man said to the doctor
who had set his broken finger,
"When this heals, will I be able
to play the piano?" When the
doctor said, "Yes," he exclaim
ed: "How marvelous! And I've
-never had a lesson in my life!"
And schizophrenic thinking
dotes on the negative. He cited
Council
that have been dealt with by responsible
Jimmy appears to be afraid of
the very thing of which he ac
cuses his parents the fear that
the answers "may shake set be
liefs." If he is not afraid of this,
why does he worry about not
finding college friends who will
share his ideas?
Questioning is certainly an im
portant aspect of everyone's life
and Jimmy should realize that
this is true of adults as well as
adolescents. If he were not
afraid to expose himself to op
position, Jimmy would be will
ing to. put his questions and his
objections to those who would
give him answers he may not
like. It is only by understanding
opposing views that one- can
strengthen his own intellectual
position. (
Jimmy and Gary may have
given one another a lot of friend
ly comfort and stimulation, but
they would make a big mistake
by going' away io college to
gether with the idea of forming
a closed corporation. If they
must go to the same school, they
should do so with the idea of.
seeking out new friendships and
exploring new ideas. Otherwise1
college will give them very
little.

Child Plays With Ideas
People have to learn to think
if they're to survive. "The child
learns by 'playing' with ideas,
putting them together in vari

and seeing from trial and error
what makes sense and what
doesn't."
Nature has made this pleasur
able for a kitten, in both cases
for a purpose. The kitten grows
up and catches mice and birds
with unfailing efficiency, and
the child grows up and distin

the true from the absurd, with
more or less complete accuracy.
But the early trials and errors
in learning to think are remem
bered and become the basis for
all sorts of jokes which are con
sidered to be funny. The schizo
