In quieter but just as heroic
vein, Lockheed officials and air

dollars at stake are portrayed
dealing with a grim crisis with
only the safety of the flying pub
lic their main concern.
Emerging from Serling's 154-
page book is a salient fact: in
every segment of the aviation in
dustryfrom the mechanic on the
runway to the executive in his
walnut-paneled office is a fanat
ical dedication to air safety and
a haunting sense of personal
tragedy when it fails.
In a forward to the book. FAA
administrator Najoeb E. Halaby
writes: "Our goal is swift, safe
passage for all who fly anywhere.
;any time, year in. year out. We
are indebted to Mr. Serling for
helping us all to understand the
perils as well as the great prog
ress and prospects of aviation."
Halaby also writes: "Mr. Ser
ling's sense of the dramatic and
his ability to translate the most
technical subjects into the King's
English should assure this book
wide readership outside the avia
tion community as well as in."

that three-fourths of all divorced
persons remarry within live
years.
Subject Of Debate
Thus, most American marri
ages endure, happily or other
wise. The happiness percentage
has been a subject of debate
down through the centuries.

Christopher said he would
quickly appoint a citizens com
mittee to make plans for hous
ing, feeding and entertaining the
14,500 delegates, newsmen and
others directly connected with the
convention who are expected to
pour into the city.
It will be San Francisco's third
major political convention. In
1920 the Democrats met here to
nominate James M. Cox and
Franklin D. Roosevelt, who sub
sequently lost to Warren Harding
and Calvin Coolidge. And in 1956
the Republicans gathered in the
same Cow Palace to re-nominate
President Eisenhower and vice
president Richard M. Nixon.
The Cow Palace, which rcsem
bles a huge quonsot hut, lies near
the southern San Francisco boun
dary. 12-15 minutes from down
town San Francisco.
Since its completion in 1941. it
has been the site of championship
prize fights, hockey matches,
midget auto races and perfor
mances by such entertainers as
Liberacc and Chubby Checker.
TIk building could swallow New
York's Madison Square Garden
or engulf a 10-story hotel. It is
400 feet long. 300 feet wide. 105
feet high, with half-circles round
ing off eitlier end.
.'o pillars block the view of
spectators. Tile massive roof is
built in three sections on rollers
to permit expansion end contrac
tion during temperature changes.
Parking for more than 4.000 ve

Popular it is. In t h e United
States 9 of every 10 persons mar
ry before the age of 32. The av
erage age for marriage is around
20 for women and 22 for men i
somewhat too soon according to
many authorities. The most popu
lar age l o r marriage among
women is 23 and among men 26-
27.
If you are an unmarried wom
an between the ages of 22 and
24 there is one chance in five you
! will marry before the year ends.

sia il'PP N'yasaland may soon
be out of bounds for witches.
The territory's famed witch-
hunter. Chikanga, has staged a
marathon exorcism aimed at lift-
curses, banishing evil spirits
and robbing witches of their ma
gic powers.
Chikanga, known throughout the
continent as a sure-fire curer of
illness caused by wicked spirits,
has dedicated himself to the task
of freeing Nyasaland of witches.
Chikanga, 43, arrived in Blan-
tyre nattily decked out in a dark
blue suit, white shirt, black shoes
and brandishing a fly switch. He
looked hurt when .someone called
him a witch doctor.
We are like European doc
tors," he said. "The only differ
ence is that our medicine comes
from our forefathers' spirits."
Sitting regally in the center of
circle of devoted student "doc
tors," Chikanga unpacked the as
sortment of boxes, bottles, gourds
and bones with which he treats
his patients. He carefully ex-
the unfortunately possessed souls
who came flocking to him for
treatment during his witch-walloping
Blantyre visit.
"1 make two cuts between the
thumb and the index finger on
each hand. Then I put a magic
potion called 'dekani' on the cuts
and the witch's magic goes away.
But if he dales to practice ma
gic again he will die." added the
'doctor' darkly.
Africans are coming in by the
hundreds to see the celebrated
'doctor' rout out witches and dis
possess them of their magic and
free tormented souls of the evil
spirits that make them sick the
bottles and boxes arc there to
trap the spirits.
Chikanga is confident he will
chalk up quite a few cx-wilches
lo add to the thousands he claims
he already has dealt with.

you will marry within the next 12
months.
But if you arc a bachelor aged
30 there aro less than three
chances in four you will ever
marry. A 30-ycar-old spinster has
only slightly more than one
chance in two of ever marry
ing. An unmarried woman who is
40 has only one chance in five of
finding a husband, but an unmar
ried man the same age has a one
in three chance.
"Two Parly System"
in American Medical Associa
tion writer, Dr. Stanley R. Dean.
described marriage as "probably
the first two-party system of gov
ernment ever devised."
An ideal partnor in this two-
party system, Dr. James H. Pe
terson, University of Southen
California sociologist and marri
age counselor said, is "a person
who meets one's emotional needs,
is within the boundary of one's
tcmpermental pattern, who is
physically attractive, and who
maintains interests that are stim
ulating one who has a well de
veloped sense of values on which
one can depend, and one who
has fairly similar cultural-refer
ence groups la sociological term
meaning similar background)."
As for what makes marriages
go wrong. Peterson warned:
As the age of the individual
goes down from 21, the divorce
rate goes up. The lower the age,
the higher the rate of failure.
The higlier the educational
level, the lower the rate of di
vorce," he adds. "T h e more
