—9HB CABQUNA TQGBS SATUMQAY, LIUIM U, UM 4B The Physician An Campesinos Though urbanlntton is every where upon their lands, over 100 million Latin Americans today still are no part of the big, bloating city. They are campesinos, coun try folk, jnuch like the mem bers of the family here, in the Guatemalan village of Santa Maria Cauque. And their home is usually a settlement of less than 2.000 Inhabitants, one of many dotting the topography of 20 Latin American nations. But no matter the country of the campesinos, theirs Is a com mon lot of malnourishment. and poor education, and low income They are beset by high mortality rates for the age group 15 to 45. in some cuses, their rate is three times higher than the urbanites'. An esti mated 40 miliion.of them need potable water now. In short, they are generally the last group to benefit from national programs for im proved health and welfare. Yet. the campesinos count for a sizeable chunk of Latin America's total population. In fart, for about one half of it Because of such compelling facts. Dr Abraham Horwitz director of the Pan American Sanitary Bureau, regional of lice for the World Health Or ganization. rates the improve ment of the rural Latin Ameri cans' life and livelihood as the foremost challenge to hemi sphere public health. He speaks with impressive credentials as recently re elected director, to his third four-year term beginning Feb ruary 1. of a continent wide health program, and as a 1966 winner of a ranking U.S. honor, the Bronfman prize. Awarded to him by the American Public Health As Soviet Soldiers Remaining In Czechoslovakian Capital PRAGI'E Soviet sol diers were much in evidence here on (he first Sunday after Czechoslovaks learned officially that their country would remain occupied for a while longer. The Russians were sight seeing or driving around in trucks from or to their camps ringing the Czechoslovak capi tal There were no signs that anv were withdrawing. Defense Minister Gen Martin Dzur said Saturday night he was convinced the "overwhelm ing majoritv'' of the foreign troops would leave by Oct. 28. 50th anniversary of the Czecho slovak republic. For one thing, the treaty would have to be signed which was mentioned Friday in Oie comm4nioue oh the gjgoliatiSra Only You Gin Stem The Tide Rising Traffic Accidents Who is responsible for the majority of auto accidents in this community and on our highways? Is it the auto mobile manufacturer in Detroit? Is it the police, local or state, who are lax in enforcing safety laws? Is it our large bfood of young drivers whose motoring manners are as fresh as their licenses? Shockingly, we, you, the man next door, and every one who pulled a car away from a curb today in every local community in every city and town in the country are the ones who are largely responsible for "the rising tide of blood" on our roads. We are the ones who liter ally must stem the tide. This was brought vividly to our editorial attention by a current study on automobile safety in a booklet which crossed our desk today. Originally written for a publication of Employers Insurance of Wausau, Wau sau. Wis., the article has been reprinted at popular de mand by the company for fre* distribution to inter ested parties. A hard-hitting, in-depth piece, which uses words as an automatic power hammer handles nails, it surveys the field of automobile safety from manu facturer to motorist. From its beginning, which talks startlingly of how American soldiers are statistically safer in Viet Nam than on American highways, the pamphlet spares few delicate sensibilities to make harsh sense. The booklet points out that auto accidents are mul tiplying in number and that their severity is increasing. It emphasizes that "the guilt-edge remedy" of financial compensation, to salve our collective public conscience for injuries and fatalities suffered in highway acci dents, is far from a solution and distracts attention from the need for a few ounces of prevention. "You can't fix a leak with a mop," states the author, Digby Whitman, editor of the Employers Insurance of Wausau publication. "The pay-'em-off-and-forget-it policy cost this country almost twelve billion dollars a year, nearly two per cent of the gross national product." Improved safety features in the manufacture of auto mobiles, partially inspired by the recent Ralph Nader controversy, are to be applauded, he says, but then makes the point that no machine injures by itself only by human error. We shuddered but were impressed by the author's question: "When the car climbs the sidewalk and but ters an old lady along the side of a building, will she be comforted by the reflection that the driver and his passengers are insulated from all harm?" Summarizing the article's principal message, two methods are open to change human behavior behind the wheel of a car. They are persuasion and compul sion, or in plainer words, education and law enforcement. Of the two, education is the more valuable "ounce of prevention." Soaring statistics show urgent need for driver education in every state public high school sys tem. Today, young drivers under 25 years old make up approximately one-flfth of the nation's drivers but are responsible for one-third of our auto accidents and one-third of all fatalities caused by auto accidents. Yet, only 1« states include driver education for teen-agers in high school curriculums. Rather than laying all the blame for death and injury on intentional economy by auto manufac turers, we shoulti clip human error in the bud with driver education In the schools. And rather than mak ing more laws, we should enforce the ones that al ready are on the books with greater zeal. We can't detour the conclusion. Safety on our city streets and highway* Is everyone's responsibility. What are you doing about it? in rural (iu»tr mala. alone with ■ viptruus point, is Dr. Abraham HorwlU of Chile. ill lHbti a lop newsmaker in international public health, and. with the New Year, an advocate or health as an agenda item for a projected inter-American summit conference. sociation. the prize is for "adroit and diplomatic leader ship that has resulted in un precedented advances in the improvement of health services in the hemisphere." The Chilean physician opens the New Year immersed in exactly such a role as a chief advocate for health top ics, and prime among them, rural health, as agenda items for a projected Western Hemi sphere heads of state summit scheduled for April. The idea of an inter-Ameri can summit has gained steady support for over a year, with chiefs of state of Chile, Colom- of a Czechoslovak delegation un der party chief Alexander Dub cek with the Soviets in Moscow. The treaty would provide for "temporary stationing" oi for eign troops in this country. Also, th«; Czechoslovaks would have to show progress in "raising the leading role of the Communist party" and "intensifying the struggle against the antisoci alist forces." And they would have to "reinforce the party and state organs with men firmly adhering to positions of Marx ism-Leninism," apparently meaning Communists from the orthodox wing of the party. There were conflicting reports on how many foreign,troops are i in Czechoslovakia. Earlier esti mates said they numbered 700,000 to 600.000. but Austrian bia, Ecuador. Peru, the United States, and Venezuela among those coming out for it. Though a summit agenda is still in the making, as are the place and the exact days for the parley to be decided, often mentioned as presidential-cali bre items are agriculture, arms control, and the eco nomic integration of Latin America. But, thus far at least, not so health. The presidential talks. Dr. Horwitz holds, can mean a "powerful inducement" to stepping-up programs for the well-being of the largest single segment in Latin America. military sources in Vienna said they estimated 330,000 to 350,000. The number remaining after the gradual pullout was forecast to be about 100,000.

Some light shore batteries and radar equipment that China has sent its lone outpost in Europe are already reported to be in position. More military materiel including rockets and possibly some advisory personnel art expected to arrive soon from China. This stepped up military aid to Albania is believed to have been discussed in detail by Beqir Balluku, Albania's vice premier and defense minister in talks with military leaders in Peking during the last few days.

They are are eligible to be considered for eventual canoni zation, the church's formal rec ognition of sainthood. Attending the Beatification Mass were more than 200 Ko reans and several thousand pil grims from France. The Ko reans, many in national cos tums, included 15 priests and a number of descendants of the martyrs. Among the French pil grims were more than 200 mem bers of the missionaries' fami lies. -Civil Rights Continued from front page blocked by South Carolina laws that prohibited Negroes and white* from working in the rbom without segregated equipment and facilities.

Balluku headed an Albanian delegation to the celebrations marling the 19th anniversary of Communist China. The Communist regime announced officially that the Chinese Albanian alliance was solemnly reconfirmed 00 that occasion. Before his departure for Peking, Balluku, wbo a e influence in the tight circle of Albania's Stalinist leadership is seen as growing, inspected various army and "volunteer" formations. The Tirana government has distributed official photos of these inspections to its embassies abroad as evidence of the small country's military preparedness. Since then Radio Tirana and spokesmen for the Albanian regime have almost daily charged that the Soviet Union and Bulgaria, described as a "satellite" of Moscow, were preparing aggression against Albania.

" "V • ■ | Everyone Votes For These Election Cakes In New England a hundred or so yean ago, Election Day was a big event Which called ior specially prepared foods. The women, who couldn't vote in thoee days, stayed home and , baked cakes while the men trekked to the polls some dis tance away. But these weren't ordinary cakes; they were spe cial Election Cakes made of spicy yeast dough filled with fruits and nuts. The cakes, still warm from the oven, were then served with punch or eggnog at get-togethers when the hungry voters returned. An early evening supper was another tradition on Election Day, with homemade sausage, fried green apples, whipped potatoes and gravy the usual menu. There was home-baked bread and preserves, too. And for dessert in addition to Elec tion Cakes —apple, cranberry and blackberry pies were of fered. A variety of different Election Cakes are still baked annually in many Yankee kitchens. An intriguing adaptation are these Individual Election Day Cakes baked in muffin cups. They are prepared by the new Rapidmix Method which l adds the undis solved yeast to the dry ingredi ents rather than dissolving it first in warm water.

Add softened Fleischmann's Margarine. Gradually add very hot tap water to dry ingredients and beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs and Vi cup flour, or enough flour to make a thick batter. Beat at high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Add raisins. Planters or Southern Belle Pecans, citron and enough flour to make a stiff batter. Stir until well combined. Turn into 24 greased muffin cups or greased 5-ounce custard cups, using about Vi cup batter for each one. Let rise uncovered in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about IVi hours. Bake in a moderate oven (375°) about 25 minutes, or until done. Remove from muffin cups or custard cups and cool on wire rack.
