“Hi-d* Hi!” Over the prostrate form of Miss Skillon (Nancy Slaughter) who lies completely knocked out from a . blow on the chin, vaults one-third of the cast of the next Putnam County Playhouse production, 4 ‘See How They Run.” Corporal Clive Winton, right, (Jim Elrod) leads the pack
with Reverend Toop (Samuel Kirk) and the Bishop of Lax, left. (Ray Mizer) running close behind. The play will be presented Friday and Saturday, July 1 and 2, and the following weekend of July 8 and 9.

CAPE KENNEDY TTPI
S. scientists, keeping close
watch o n the weather that) the foot pedals with a pool
thwarted them Thursday, were cue *
set to try again today to rocket I
a radiation monitoring satellite
into orbit around the moon. The new attempt to launch
the 206-pound spacecraft on its sleek Delta rocket was scheduled for a two-minute period starting at 12:02 p. m. EDT. Wind driven rain halted the
first try.
Weather from a widespread tropical disturbance off Florida’s Gulf Coast was the doubtful factor. But project officials were hopeful that conditions would improve enough to pro-
ceed with the shot.
It was America's first attempt to match Russia's Luna 10 moon satellite, and National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA! officials gave j the Delta and its payload nine chances out of 10 to succeed. The idea of the shot was to use the moon as an anchor in i
space for the $6 million satellite 1 stitution which will open > tA. firQf rlaccpc in Sonfrorr

The Nerve Center Of The Body TWELVE nerves in the head • ing of the nose and mouth and
control the senses of sight, hearing, smell and taste. In addition to this tremendous responsibility, they also control movements of the eyes, swallowing, breathing and the rate
of the heart.
The first, the olfactory nerve,
originates high in the noee and
I transmits odors
to a specialized
* area of the if brain where IHI they are then ' recognized and
recorded for future identifica-
Dr. Coleman tions.
To test the
sense of smell, a few odors like peppermint, cloves and coffee
are used.
The second, the optic nerve, in a remarkable and complex way transmits vision and color from the back of the eye (retina) to the brain. Precise Study This nerve is tested by precise study of the vision, including tests for color blindness, and by testing the visual fields. The back of the eye, or the fundus, can be minutely studied with microscopes and special instruments. The third, the oculomotor nerve, partially controls the opening of the iris, the lens of the eye, the upper eyelid and four of the six muscles of the eyes. These muscles control every directional movement of
the eyeball.
The fourth nerve, the trochlear, and the sixth nerves, the abducens, control the remaining two muscles not affected by the
third nerve.
Controls Downward Vision The fourth nerve is responsible for the ability to see in a lownward position. Patients who have such a disturbance somplain of difficulty in seeing vhile walking downstairs. The fifth or trigeminal nerve, vith three branches, Is affected >y the sensations from the lin-
the covering of the eyes. The fifth nerve also controls the major muscles for chewing. This is the nerve affected by the painful spasms known as tic douloureux.
New Drug
There is now a new anticonvulsant drug. Carbamazepine, which is being enthusiastically tried for this exceedingly distressing condition. The sixth, the abducens nerve, was noted in connection with the third and fourth nerves as they combine to all eye movements. The seventh or facial nerve controls the muscles of the •yes, forehead, face and tongue. Two Branches The eighth has two branches. The auditory is responsible for hearing. The vestibular is related to the sense of balance. The ninth, the glossophargyngeal, affects swallowing and may be responsible for radiating pain in the neck. The 10th, the vagus nerve, is involved with almost every major function of the body. The heart, lungs, stomach and intestines, larynx, and esophagus are in some way affected by the vagus. The 11th. or accessory nerve, controls the neck and shoulder
muscles.
The 12th, the hypoglossal nerve, affects a part of the motion of the tongue. Twelve thin strands of tissue are the major part of the nerv e center that affects the whole body in sickness and in health.
