Indianapolis Speedway Man Royal Family Observes Fighter Squadrcn
To Give Safety Lecture Here! Wedding Anniversary fijp, in canrU
An educational highway safe
ty program will be brought to
Medford high school tomorrow
by an Indianapolis speedway
driver, it was announced today.
Fred Agabashian, who began
his career on California tracks
when 17 years old and has raced
in the famed Indianapolis speed
way classic 11 times, will con
duct the lecture-demonstration
here. Agabashian will illustrate
his talk with a racing film, a
flannel-board demonstration and
with anecdotes from his own rac
ing experience. He will com
pare, race track situations to
highway driving. Upon request,
he will give student cars a safety
inspection, explaining how to de
tect functional defects that could
lead to traffic accidents.
Lecture teams of interna
tionally known track veterans
are in their third year of per
sonally giving teen-agers expert
instruction on safety from ex
periences on the race track and
on the highways. The visit here
has been arranged by Littrell
Parts.
The National Safety Council
Public Interest Award of Excep
tional Service to Safety was re
cently presented to the Cham
pion Spark Plug Company of
Toledo, Ohio, for developing
and maintaining this highway
safety program in public schools.
The program was developed
to supplement the work of sec
ondary school educators in em
phasizing the safe driving theme
The nation's top race drivers
Indianapolis Speedway veterans
were selected in order to gain
and hold the attention and re
spect of students, many of whom
1 are familiar with their names
Fred Agabashian is one of the
worlds few drivers who have
qualified for membership' in the
exclusive Champion 100-Mile-an-Hour
Club, a feat attainable by
driving the 500-mile Indianapo
lis race without relief at an
average speed in excess of 100
mph.
More than any motorist on the
highway, he points out, profes
sional race drivers know the cru
cial necessity of driving with a
mind constantly alert, with
sound judgment at all times,
and with a constant spirit of
courtesy. They know the im
portance of having cars in sound
mechanical condition. These race
drivers travel from 35,000 to 50,
000 accident-free miles per year,
on public highways, going from
race to race and school to school.

London 1P Queen Eliza
beth and Prince Philip observed
their 10th wedding anniver
sary today and enjoyed the lux
ury of staying home for a
change.
The royal couple, usually on a
hectic whirl of social, civic or
diplomatic functions, reserved
today just for themselves and
possibly the family and a few
friends.
There was no prearranged re
ception, no official salute or flag
flying. Just a day at home in
Buckingham palace.
Palace sources said Princess
Margaret and the Queen Mother
might join the royal couple and
Princess Anne for a family din
ner party.
Prince Charles, away at
Cheam Boarding school, was not
brought home for the occasion.
Is That So?
By EUGENE BURNS
Ranger-Naturalist
For a change let's talk about
the most fascinating creature in
the world. You, yourself.
Ever look at a stranger across
the aisle on a streetcar and say
to yourself: "He looks mighty
sad to me." Don't bank on it. Re
searchers at the University of
Colorado Medical center have
found that two people looking
m
at the face of a third person are
likely to interpret the expression
differently. .The reason is that
we tend to read our own emo
tions into other people. Too often
apparently we look into other
people's faces and see our own
feelings mirrored.
Don't be surprised the next
time you take a physical check
up and your doctor says: "Now
please weep into this container.
We need a tear sample."
According to Dr. Olive F.
Erickson of the Stanford Medi
cal school in a recent issue of
Coronet, the ratio of the three
chemical elements in tears
changes with the patient's health
and emotions. Tears from an un
dernourished person differ from
one ill from rheumatic fever.
Dr. Erickson thinks tear analy
sis may become a routine diag
nostic tool.
Don't Blame Age
If you've slowed down in ath
letics in middle age, don't blame
your age. Blame your sheer lazi
ness. Anyway, that's the word I
get from Dr. Laurence E. More
house of the University of Cali
fornia, based on the studies of
men wljo continued an active
physical life into their 80's.
Even in the 80's, he says, men
can perform physical feats as
well as fellows in their late 20's.
He adds: "If you make sports a
balanced part of your life,
there's only a slight deteriora
tion through the years in both
strength and speed and it's so
slight it only shows up in cham
pionship performances.
"A man forty today can look
forward to forty more years of
active participation in athletics,"
he states.
Worried about losing your
hair? Dr. M. Wharton Young of
Howard University has found
that muscle is found under the
hairy area of the scalp and none
under the bald zone. How do you
develop muscles under your
scalp under the balding spot?
Unfortunately, the doctor left
thi3 one unanswered.

der of the 312th Fighter-bomber
Wing from Cannon AFB, New
