Based on what physicians re port to the American Medical As sedation, the questions can be summed up under two catagor : ies--general day to day informa j tkm on how to lead a more health | ful life, and the individual's eras i cent about his place in relatior (to the rest of the universe and his fellow men.

(10 cents) “Allergies from the Air”-Con Farm Workers In Demand B; Peace Corps Seven countries have asked the Peace Corps for Volunteers who know bow to operate and repair farm machinery. County Exten I sion Chairman H. R. Clapp said this week. Especially needed are agricul tural mechanics who can offer I ingenuity ami common sense a long with their knowledge, he ex plained. Many developing nations are trying to increase thefr farm pro duction by using more machinery, he pointed out, but machinery a lone cannot do the job. “Much of this machinery has limited use and a short life be cause the countries lack the train ed manpower to teach farmers how to operate and repair it," 'Mr. Clapp said. Training will begin early this summer for Peace Corps projects in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Guin ea, Malaya, Pakistan and Sene gal.

They will be working not only with the students in these schools, but also with farmers in neigh boring communities. Similarly, in the other countries, the Volun teers will teach machinery opera tion and maintenance to their co workers at experimental stations and to local farmers through the extension service. Experience in a number of countries where Volunteers are at work has shown that ingenui ty is a “must” for Peace Corps mechanics. In most places there is a variety of machinery, and parts are difficult or impossible I to obtain. Rather than face the | long delay of ordering parts that must be imported, Volunteers have found it helpful to be able to be able to make them on the spot. Two Volunteers in Pakis tan have introduced regular sche | dules few lubricating and inspect ■ ing machinery to catch small de fects early as part of their ef ] fonts to teach preventive main tenance. General qualifications for Peace Corps projects include a minimum age of 18, U. S. Citizen ship, sound health, maturity, ini tiative and - above all - a desire to serve. Married couples are eli gible in some projects if both qualify and they have no depen dent children. Volunteers serve for two years, including training. They receive allowances to cover ciothine. food, housing, medic?*' Easter Holiday j May Be Maned, j Statistic Says While Easter is a glorious time i of the year for most families, it ] will be a tragic weekend for at least 23 persons whom the N.
