DAWN OF MAN’

Visitors to the New York World’s Fair are peering into man-

kind’s distant past.

At The Travelers Insurance Companies’ Red Umbrella Pavilion, the first scene in a diorama series shows early man on his way to conquering a hostile world. . Special lighting — suggesting

WANT TO TALK Tl KKLY—Mi Ruth Crissman, 20, elands by her automobile in Pittsburgh, Pa., waiting for someone to take her up on an offer to trade it for a round-trip ticket to Turkey. She wants to be with her Navy husband in in Istanbul when their baby is born.

that of an earlier, eons-past sun — makes visitors feel a part of the scene themselves as they watch their naked ancestors hunt giant wdld boar in a struggle for survival. The backdrop for this hunting scene suggests this primitive fight for sustenance. The landscape is dominated by jutting rocks, with scrubby vegetation poking through — a twisted tree can also be seen. Early man has already learned the value of teamwork in killing animals larger and fiercer than himself, with the aid of crude

spears.

His developing brain helped him produce better tools, and from his mind evolved a spirit of social behavior. 4 ‘Dawn of Man” is the begin-

ning sequence in an 18-minuta tour of past ages presented by The Travelers in diorama form. Visitors take the tour via a special walkway which gives them the impression of being out-of-doors on a starry night. New visitors to the Fair will find the exhibit building is a huge red umbrella - itself a triumph of modern man’s tools and engi-

neering know-how.

Engineers discovered that to provide the umbrella’s foundation in Flushing Meadows, it was necessary to sink 440 90-foot poles deep into the rock and soiL Donald Deskey Associates designed the spherical structure to symbolize the protection of insurance in celebration of The Travelers’ first century of serv-

ice to Americans.

MILLIONS OF VOTER! MUST RE-ASSESS VIEW!

•extremists” at of both factions

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer Wi / AST TINT. TON—There has been a sharp polarization ol W voter opinion on Barry Goldwater since his nomination for president on the Republican ticket. Until a few weeks before that event, many people did not take his candidacy seri«rasly and the tendency was to cla . ify him as a political curicsity—the leader and spokesman of a large splinter group within thq GOP. But Goldwater is now a principal factor in the national political arena. His presence is causing millions of voters to re-assess their views, to re-think the road down which they want the country to travel and the kind of political leadership they want to represent

them.

This is no easy matter. For many, it requires a kind of soul-searching self-examina-tion that is painful and. at this stage, at least, is lacking in factual material and public discussion that provide the basis for sound de-

cisions.

Unfortunately, the -typing” of Goldwater through his years of association with the socalled “right-wing” of the party, plus the sharp conflict between the “moderates” and the San Francisco Cow Palace, pushes voters to quick and hardened decisions. It is human,

once a voter has made up his mind, to fight for his convictions

«nd to become more firm in them as he does so.

This very polarization of sentiment, primarily among Republicans at this stage, works against Goldwater’s chances on balance. If he is to have a chance for election, it is in his own interest that he keep public opinion as fluid as possible, to keep as many people as possible uncommitted until they can weigh the principles and policies of the candidates in the campaign. For this reason, if for no other, the Goldwater forces must strive to remove ambiguties from his speeches and statements. He has enough going against him without being tripped up by

national confusion over semantics.

• CLARITY—Dwight D. Eisenhower’s White House years were marked by recurring misunderstandings with the press corps. They stemmed mainly from the general’s conversational style-run-on sentences, incompleted thoughts, and a sort of stream-«f-Consciousness flow of words in answer to reporters’ press

conference questions.

Newsmen found that they were placed in the role of “interpreting.” rather than reporting the expressions of the president. There is a marked parallel in the present Goldwater situation. He, too, speaks in a ramWing unclear way; is prone to express himself tn a manner sometimes obtuse and sometimes atartlin" to reporters who feel duty-bound to Ike? relay what he said to their readers. To newsmen who have been assigned to both men, there Is Irony in the post-convention Eisenhower request that Goldwater •’clarify” his acceptance speech statements in defense of political extremism.” That Goldwater succeeded in doing so to Ike’s jatisfaction can be recorded as an achievement for both men. Perhaps the incident, happening as it did in the earliest days of Goldwater’s run for the White House, will work to his ultimate benefit. At least, he has had ample u a ruing that he must say he meana <uid mean what he taya.

TRYING TO SAVE OLDEST TREE—The Endicott pear tree, planted in 1631 and believed to be the oldest planted fruit tree in America, is in danger in Danvers, Mass., after being hacked up by vandals. Francis Cashman, groundskeeper at Sylvania Electric, where the tree is located, checks burlapwrapped grafts made in effort to save it.

SAVOUR HEALTH.

By LESTER L. COLEMAN, M.D. Readers Are Asking o

IS TELEVISION harmful to the eyes? Normal, healthy eyes have their own built-in protection against fatigue. But, like other muscles of the body, eye mus cles feel the strain o£ overexer

lion.

Television cannot actually damage .normal eyes, but mod eration is reci ommended b y i eye specialists, p to avoid strain. 1 For children, especially, educators join in If this suggestion for moderate TV viewing. Dr. Coleman • * • What Is a goiter? Is there really a “goiter belt”? A goiter is a visible and characteristic enlargement of the thyroid gland in the neck. It is often caused by an inadequate amount of iodine in the tlrinking water. Certain inland areas, where the water supply is very low in iodine content, are known as “goiter belts.” These areas must compensate for the deficiency by artificially supplementing the water supply or the diet with additional iodine. • * * Why do people yawn? The standard joking reply Js •boredom.” Actually, a yawn is a deep inspiration of air which is nature’s mechanism for increasing the oxygen supply, CbpeUtiiiy in warm, stuffy

rooms. Fatigue and drowsiness can also make one yawn. Fortunately, yawning is "contagious.” This minimizes embarrassment! • • • What kind of climate is recommended for sufferers of asthma? Cold weather puts added stress on persons who suffer from asthma, bronchitis and other lung conditions. These patients will usually be most comfortable in a warm, dry climate. However, climate is not the only answer to the cause or cure of asthma. Before making any permanent moves to a special climate, asthmatics should have a trial period in the area where they expect to live. • • • Are leeches still used la medicine? Tho leech is an outstanding example of how ancient tribal customs and medical folklore tenaciously survive even in this modem scientific age. In certain cultures, the leech is still occasionally used to treat inflammation of the veins of the legs. Actually, the leech does have certain healing powers. Scientists discovered that it contains heparin, a vital anti-coagulant. While Dr. Coleman cannot undertake to answer individual letters, he will use readers? questions in his column whenever possible and when they are of general interest.
