Our friend was furious and called
an executive of the airline when
she landed. He was also upset and
he said there was an organization
called Pilots for Goldwater which
was probably behind it.
The thought occurred to us that
if the Pilots for Goldwater really
wanted to help their candidate,
they could do away with the litera-
The Record
When does a person act against
his will? Hazel Hotcha was in ar
automobile crash while riding in
Fred Fast’s car. Hazel met Fred at
a club dance. Both had severs’
drinks. Fred bought a bottle of
whiskey, and Hazel with two other
couples piled into Fred’s car to gc
to another party.
As they drove away Fred didn’t
seem drunk. But when Fred drove
faster and faster, Hazel asked him
to slow down; in alarm she asked
him to stop and let her out.
Fred said, ‘‘Don’t worry, Hazel
all is safe.” Soon afterward Fred
struck a parked car injuring all blf
passengers, Hazel badly.
Hazel sued Fred. Since she was
riding with Fred as a guest for her
own pleasure, she could not recover
damages from Fred unless she
could show that Fred was drunk,
and that she did not know it. Other-
wise she would have “assumed the
risk” of riding with him, and would
have no claim to damages.
Hazel did show that she was not
in Fred’s car willingly, and that,
therefore, she had not legally as-
sumed the risk of his speed and
drunken driving. A person can be
an unwilling occupant, and as such,
neither a guest nor a paying pass-
enger.
How does a person show that he
is riding against his will? By pro-
testing and doing what he reason-
ably can do to get out. This Hazel
had done.
Nobody expects a person to
jump out of the moving car. nor
to get out in the middle of the
road. So what is reasonable? That
depends—on the time, the place,
the driver, the choices open to the
occupant and other such things.
The rider has no claim if he
knows the risks he assumes, and
that the driver is drunk.
But sometimes a person takes
risks though he knows nothing
about them: He may accept a free
ride in a car with defects, which
even the driver knows nothing
about. The driver and he may take
the same chances.
Everyone is expected to know a
little bit about some activities, such
as common sporting events, which
involve a certain element of risk.
For example a spectator at a base-
ball game is expected to be aware
of the danger of being hit by a
ball and to take precautions.
To assume a risk legally, the per-
son has to have a free choice. Thus
if the way to a town is over a de-
fective dangerous highway, the
driver has no free choice. In one
case a driver caused a crash. In it
the husband, thrown free of the
wreckage, saw the car burning. He
ran into the fire to save his wife.
Though he was hurt by the entry
into the fire the court found the
husband had no other real choice,
since he could not let his wife
bum, there is no assumption of
The 1965 Ford is the most-changed in the 15-year history of Ford Division. The tra-
ditional, round Ford taillight is replaced by a modernistic hexagonal shape in keep-
ing with the crisp, elegant look of the new Ford. Luxury styling is combined with a lux-
ury car ride described as so smooth and so quiet the heater and air conditioner fans had
to be moved into the engine compartment because their low-toned whirr was distract-
ing. A luxurious new Ford Galaxie 500 LTD series (above) features an interior of
quality and style previously obtainable only in higher-priced cars. Five separate roof
lines are offered with interior and exterior trim features to give greater distinctive-
ness to each of the 17 models than ever before.
The gay music of Meredith Willson, a delightful story about

The “magical pill” can be both a
bane and a boon.
If we depend on our modern
drugs to the extent that we neglect
good hygiene and proper first air,
we are in effect making the pill—
or wonder drugs—our bane.
There are several reasons why
the prevention of infection, through
good personal hygiene and proper
first aid, is important. Many kinds
of germs and most viruses are not
controlled by chemical agents.
The germs of whooping cough,
brucellosis, and certain other bac-
terial diseases respond rather un-
satisfactorily to our weapons. Chem-
ical agents other than antitoxins,
which we had long ago, do not
neutralize the toxins or poisons
produced by germs. Therefore, te-
tanus and botulism, which are as-
sociated with toxins, are still dread
diseases.
The story is told about a mother
of several children who thought
she was “building up” her child-
ren’s resistance against winter
colds and infections by giving
them regular doses of antibiotics.
How mistaken she was.
The increasing resistance of
many germs to antibiotics is caus-
ing more and more concern. Ac-
cordingly, it is advisable to prevent
infection and to obtain proper care
early, if infection appears.
In case of wounds and burns,
however minor they may seem,
make sure of proper first aid pre-
liminary to medical care. Wounds
and burns usually require sterile
dressings after application of other
indicated first aid.
If infection develops in a wound,
evidenced by local redness, swell-
ing, and tenderness, obtain imme-
diate medical care.
Follow hygienic habits to pre-
vent respiratory infection. Pneu-
monia caused by a resistant germ
is the dread disease it always was.
Adhere to an immunisation
schedule advised by your physician.
Secure medical care early for
infections, but do not insist that
your doctor prescribe an antibiotic,
because promiscuous use of anti-
biotics favors development of
germs resistant to them.
Modern medical drags may save
your life someday, but why not
postpone that day as long as you
can by practicing good hygiene and
proper first aid.
