WYNNE Now that I've acquired a power lawn mower I'm forced to look on the more serious side of this crea tion. A recent article turned out by the National Safety Council served to point out to mc this Jekyl and Hyde complex of the power mow er. One of the first power mower accidents of record, they report, involved an Army private who came home late in World War II to recuperate from wounds received in three invasions and was wounded by a spoon! The spoon, hurled by a power lawn mower in his front lawn, pen etrated the soldier's leg and had to be removed by an operation They also report that a study of injuries reported from power mowers indicates I that one in jury in seven results in some permanent disability, 12) toes unci lect arc most often injured, and (31 that seven out of 10 persons Injured in mower mishaps come in direct contact with the mower, The other three are hurt by ob jects thrown by tho mower. Among some of the accidents re ported was that of a Florida wom an who was killed by a blade that sailed 50 feet from a power mower and through a windowpane before striking her. A little girl was killed when her jugular vein was severed by a piece ol metal hurled by a power mower. All this sounds pretty grim, but actually, according to the National Safety Council, power lawn mow ers are no more dangerous than any other gadget used around the yard ... if a few basic rules are observed. For example, they list the basic rules as these: 1. Unless you have good artifi cial light, mow, only during day light. 2. Don't use an electric mower when the grass is wet and slip pery. 3. Never allow youngsters or pets near a power mower. Nor should youngsters be allowed to operate one. 4. When starting the engine, stand with your feet planted in a safe spot. Always be sure of your footing and balance . . . especial ly when mowing on an incline. On hills and banks, cut sideways, not up and down. 5. Don't refuel the mower while It's running or still hot from use. Always refuel out of doors. Don't forget, cither, to store the gaso line in an approved container. 6. Shut ' off the mower before moving It from one level to an other,, or when you want to work the mower unattended while it's running. 7. Make sure the area to he mowed is free of sticks, stones, wire or other obstacles. 8. Know how to disengage the clutch and stop the engine quickly. Those are the recommendations of the National Safely Council. I think I broke them all the first day I had my power lawn mower, but believe mc, I'm mend ing my ways. Their advice sounds pretty good, and I've always been a sound believer in the old adage "belter safe than sorry." actually did become a magician and ventriloquist but wound up a career funny man. Here is his theory of why any one ever became a comedian "Somewhere along the way he did something different, and somebody laughed. Then he learned that he could defend him self in a situation by being funny instead of having to fight his way out. Once he discovered this. he knew what his life work had to be." After a number of years in ra dio, Johnny went to the West Coast and wrote comedy material for Red Skclton. He got his first big network break when he sub stituted for Skelton after the lat ter injured himself during a re hearsal scene. oince then Carson has had a couple of network shows of his own, starred in night clubs and a Broadway production, "Tunnel of Love." His next goal: The mo vies. Comedians are notoriously jeal ous of another, but Johnny never knocks other performers. He'd rather study them. 'This business is so tough," he remarked, "you have to admire anybody who can survive in it, His own favorites arc Jack Ben ny, W. C. Fields, Laurel and Har dy, and Sid Caesar. "The big problem in TV com edy is over-exposure going on week after week, trying to do something new and fresh, when people already know all your tricks, Carson said. "But it does no good to tell your personal problems to your audi ence. They have their own wor ries. A guy making $!I0 a week isn't going to flood his living room with tears over the come dian's problems. He knows (he comedian gets well paid for his sorrows." Sens' of Humor By HAL BOYLK NEW YOItK AP - "When times are tough in this country. prople learn to laugh at them selves." said Johnny Carson. "It's an American trait and It's a good one." An improvement in the national sense of humor, he cols may he one of the few welcome byproducts of the current recession or is it already past? Like most professional ennu-di ans (and historians. Carson be lives individuals and nations tend to become study and a bit pomp ous during prosperity. "When people take themselves ton seriously it's hard to kid thrm, he said. "ou run into taboos. "If you put a Will Rogers on television today, it would tie hard for him to get by. He joked about too many things that were polit ical and controversial. He'd find restrictions put on him " Johnny, currently emcee ol the network show, "Do You Trust Your Wife,'" is in the front rank ol a new crop of young comics springlm.iidi-d to na'.ion.il atten tion by TV. Mis trigger-fast mas tery of liaht palter made him something of a "comedian's co median" before he caught on with the public. As hrrcy as his native Mid west, Carson was horn in Coin ing. In., and brought up in Nor folk, Neb. As did most Midwest kids of his day, he answered cor respondence ads on how to learn to be a m.iguian and ventrilo quist by mail The difference is that Johnn l,iil.y Soldier By ROBERT SEIILING United Press International A pretty, brown-eyed girl named Janet Marshall has just made a bit of Air Force history. Janet graduated from George Washington University in Wash ington, D C. last week and be came a second lieutenant. The 21-year-old gal thus became the first woman to be commissioned under a new 1IOTC program. Now. she officially is an officer in the Wom an's Air Force. The women's corps is known as WAF. Since the WAFS arc an inte grated part of Uncle Sam's rcgu. lar he-man air force, Janet may (ind herself in some interesting situations. For instance, the custom of men saluting women. Miss Marshall says: "I know that men don't particularly care to salute women, hut giving orders is just in the line of duly, and I intend to give them." But there might be a touchier situation when the trim lieuten- :int returns to her home in Hono lulu. Janet's father is a warrant ollicer in the Marine Corps. This means his second lieutenant daugh ter out ranks him. But Janet says she is ready for a little insubordination when both she and her dad are in their Hawaiian home. She'll outrank her fattier technically, but not in the family. Janet is hoping the Air Force assigns her to Europe. Although she's never visitied tho continent she has been around a little. She was born In Shanghai, attended grade school in Washington state and high school in California. Her advanced education-in col lege was split between Hawaii and George Washington-U in the na tion's capital. Janet has spent a good deal of time up in the air. But her flying experience is strictly civilian. She has been in an Air Force plane only once, and that was a publici ty stunt, when she joined t h e KOTC program. Except for the one Air Force flight, her time aloft has been logged aboard commer cial airliners, as a passenger. Janet recommends the military program to the rest of the girls. She believes there's a good future in the Air Force. But she emphatically denies that she's in the Air Force to shop around for a husband. A glance at this Hawaiian-bred girl is ample evidence that she doesn't need the military to help her get a man. A yearbook princess in college, Janet's looks are not diminished by her snappy silver tan uniform. Is she concerned about her history-making role in the military world? She certainly is. Janet says: "I'll feel a bit conspicu ous, I know everyone wril be watching to see whether I am a good officer." I'rHciid Clod lies By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor NEW YORK, (UPI)-I knew something had been missing Irom my generally happy childhood. It was my own set of "let's pre tend" clothes. I had to settle for my mother's discarded high heels and last year's hat when rainy- day play among my set featured the fascinating game .of pretend ing to be grown up. Today's generation is luckier, and also is creating a whole new sideline for the novelty manufac turers. "Play-like" clothes, aping mamma's right to the chemise and "mink" stole have come to market and are selling like Cadil lacs in Texas. It all started a few months ago when one enterprising manufac turer began making high-heeled pumps, according to a spokesman for one of the many stores stock ing the make-believe items. From Ihe plastic shoes, stockings just like mom's were a natural follow- up. Now, the well-dressed make- hcliever can have a fringed che mise right out of the 1920 s, with bag to match, long ropes of heads, fake fur stole, breton hat with tulle trim, even headbands. I won't be surprised if the small fry start demanding wigs like their mother's," said the buy er for one New York department store. "And of course by fall, let's-prctend will have adopted the trapeze." Women's Wear Daily, the trade publication, said several manu facturers have climbed on the bandwagon. And the clothes are such a hit one toy buyer is hav ing some "cxclusivcs" made for her department, including a white bridal dress and veil to capitalize on the summer marry ing season. Evening clothes also are fav orites. "Now I'm a famous movie star, in my glittering strapless gown and tiara", reads Hie newspaper advertisement of a New York store. The dress is full-length. made of rayon taffeta, with elas- ticized "slay-up" bodice. Shown with the dress arc jewel led clutch bag. evening sandals, rhincslone trimmed evening mitts and rhinestonc tiara yet. Tho lake fur stoles are of rayon plush and simulate either the nat ural, the greyed, or white mink. Bit cheaper, though. Some sell for as little as $2. Shoes which started out as fair ly conservative get fancier each day. Some now are of transpar ent plastic with floral trim, some are gold mesh, others silver with blue trim. The "let's pretend clothes come in three size ranges small, medium and large. So far the girls have the corner on the clothes. Any plans for boys who want to dress up like pop? "I doubt it," said one buyer "I think they'd rather be out playing baseball." Pogo l n,ttWt.ft.O.eot.THATf fa6SHETOPMONy.r. TUaJ OVX.3 MAN'S AID Y INMHyOUTM. UCCOfl IN Ct-0 A6.

C' jwS Vl'-v Segregation By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPI) - Around Manhattan: Observant male in our office loosed a bitter tirade against us girls and fashions the other day. "Why do they have to try everything new at once?" he complained. "I saw a girl on Fifth Avenue today, dressed in one of those exaggerated chemises. . . you know the kind I mean, the ones that hobble the derriere." "She had her hair in one ol those new sheep-dog cuts," said our man, warming to the subject. "She was wearing a headache band and I've yet to see anybody besides a model look good in one of those. "She wore stockings to match her dress. The whole costume was corpse green. "And she was dumpy. I thought great scott, she looks as though she is on her way to a costume party. "Honest now. Why does a wo man put all that's new in fash ion on at once?" Maybe our man has something there. Maybe a basic rule of the well - dressed woman needs re peating: Try the new, only when it becomes you. Be not the first by whom the new is tried, "Nor yet the last to lay the old aside." It'll be interesting to see jusl how women cotton to a "segrega tion" idea advanced this week by Herman T. Stichman, of the Hudson-Manhattan railroad. Stichman plans to install "for ladies only" cars, in soft shades of pink and grey, on the com muter trains running between Newark, N. J., and New York City. Some of the railroads have the men's club cars," said Stich man. "One airline has special flights for mole executives only. I think it's high time somebody gave a little attention to the com fort of the ladies. I think some of the wives will be happy to be away from hus bands for a while." I asked him if he realized that feminine nature being what it is. he might be heading for trouble; that some of the claws might come un sheathed. "Not worried at all." said Stich man. I have a higher opinion ol the feminine sex than you do." The special cars will . be in stalled July 1. he said, and all I be air-conditioned. "But," said Stichman, "the women don't have to ride the special cars. They can ride with the men, it they want." (liiole.s By United Press International CHICOPEE FALLS, Mass.

A 4FL4SHMVFLASH- , S Editor Describes Little Fishing Community One Year After Storm Raged Editor's Note Kenneth L. Dix on, managing editor of the Lake Charles (La.) American Press, worked tirelessly in the Cameron area when Hurricane Audrey smashed against the Louisiana coast June 27, 1957. and took more than 500 lives. Dixon, a for mer Associated Press columnist and war correspondent, describes the little fishing community on a visit one year after the storm. By KENNETH L. DIXON CAMERON, La. (API "Finally they found that they were not alone that neighbors still are neighbors all over America. It was then. I think, they changed their minds and came back home to Cameron.'' The speaker was white-haired Sheriff O. .B. Carter of Cameron Parish (County). The occasion was the first an niversary of Hurricane Audrey which ravaged this parish and took hundreds of lives a year ago today. He was explaining why an esti mated 98 per cent of Ihe survivors have returned although most had sworn. "I'll never go back there again." "They meant it then." says Car ter. "It was partly shock, partly bitterness, partly sorrow but mostly a great loneliness. And then they finally lound that they were not alone, that help had come from everywhere. It gave them heart. They came home and started over. You can see what they have done." You can. Ninety per cent of the homes and other buildings in Cameron Parish are new. But let's go back a year, to the hurricane itself. . . . One year ago yesterday the hur ricane tortured the seas of the Gulf of Mexico due south of Cam eron. It was aimed due north, but it only inched along. A pilot of a passing plane ra dioed back to his base: "This one is a killer." It was. But some 500 (the esti mates still vary) Cameron Parish people who were to die next day were not yet worried. Even if she held her course which hurricanes seldom do Audrey's timetable wouldn't get her to the coast until late this lollowing night. They forgot or never knew that a hurricane can suddenly un coil and multiply Hs speed by many times, once it decides to strike. That's what happened. Audrey swiftly picked up speed, jumping to 22 miles an hour. Shortly alter midnight, her twin fangs of wind and water struck the still sleeping people of Cam eron, and neighboring communi ties. She was 12 to 18 hours ahead of schedule. Winds of more than 100 miles an hour hurled huge, crushing waves inland, destroying almost everything in their path. Mammoth trees were uprooted and tossed like toothpicks. Con crete burial vaults were flung along for miles. Buildings of brick and stone and lumber were smashed, the ground beneath them swept clear. Audrey swept the debris northward, out over the carpet of marshland, and left it there. All the while people were dying. They died in their homes as 90 per cent of the houses crumbled like cardboard. They died in the Ireetops. still clinging to their young. We buried some still locked together, for rigor mortis had con tinued in death the protecting em brace of life. They died on floating beams and rooftops. They died in cars trying to escape along roads which were mere causeways at first, and soon became nothing at all. They continued dying after dawn. Weak from fatigue, expo sure, shock, sunburn and hunger, one by one they slipped from the floating debris into the cluttered waters, miles and miles inland, Finally Audrey passed by and the rescue work began. Y'ou know the rest of that story . . . How they brought in the dead by the hundreds, first to the ice house at Cameron, then to the docks at Lake Charles . . . how they brought out survivors by tnousands, and led them and shel tered and clothed them. . . . How they started to plan immediately to rcDuiid Cameron Parish. It was then so many survivors said: "I'll never go back there again." But they did and here's why "Help started pouring in Irom all over the country, in money, clothing, in food and in labor," says Carter. "It came from the American people through the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the AFL-C10 unions, the civil defense, the churches, the schools, the civic organizations, big com panies and single individuals. Y'ou cotildn t possibly list all the groups and individuals who helped. Carter pauses, polishes his steaming glasses, reflects. "At first it didn't seem to change the survivors' minds," he says, "They still were in a slate of shocked and stunned defeat. 01 course, many of them came back right away. But the tide didn't turn for the big majority for two to tour months. "But when they did come back it was mostly for the same rea son. I hey realized they weren t forgotten, they weren't alone. And so they sort of shook them selves, rolled up their sleeves and went at it. . . . Now Cameron is rebuilt. It's newer and stronger than ever. It has a hurricane warning system mat s as near lootprool as men can devise. Would the people evacuate now if the warning came? "They would," says Sheriff Car ler. "Once you'te been shot you're gunshy whenever you look down a barrel again." But they'd come back again, and they wouldn't feel alone.
