WHAT A
* For more years than, you
* know, various national or-
* ganizations and institutions
" have stressed the nationwide
* need for safer driving Their
4 influence is far-reaching; it is
* not considered smart to hot-
* rod it over the roads, and
° youngsters who persist in. this
* only show how adolescent
* they are, Stiff jail sentences
* are being imposed,, as they
* should be; offenders are
* scorned and their licenses re-
* yoked, which to a young man
is the ultimate disgrace,
Drinking while driving in-
creases the Chance of tragedy.
* It gives the youth a false
* sense `of power and an in-
* satiable determination to pass
* the car ahead; normal reac-
* times are upset, judgment is
* impaired and he becomes a
* menace to every other driver.
* There is no escape from. the
* consequences; he is tested for
• drunkeness and the punish-
*, meat is severe and sure.
* Knowing these facts, how
* can a young- man deliberately
• invite'euch consequences, par-
* ticularly .when his passenger
* is the girl he hopes to marry?
* Such irresponsibility is in-
* forgivable.. I do not wonder
* she worries. Apart from the
". danger both are exposed to,
4` what of other cars he may
* smash? The young man may
be all of 22, but he is acting
* like a 16-year-old — surely
* not the mature, protective
* male she would choose to
* spend her life with.

Modern Crusoe
Refused To Quit
A Twentieth century Robin-
son Crusoe has just returned
home after spending twenty
months as king of a small
"paradise isle" in the Pacific.
He is a twenty-five-year-old
student ,of philosophy, Nikita
Astafieff, a native of the Leban-
on. He was "king" by virtue of
being the only human on the
island.
Nikita had always wanted to
spend a holiday on some remote
Pacific Island, where he could
enjoy peace and quiet. When
the opportunity presented itself,
he travelled with a group of
New Zealanders, in a modern
luxury yacht, the Philante II, on
a Pacific cruise.
The voyage was to take the
party past Palmyra, a small
group of coral atolls, nearly a
thousand miles north of Hawaii.
Nikita got in touch with film
actor Leslie Vincent, who owns
Palmyra, and got permission to
stay on the islands — by him-
self. He remained for twenty
months, and found Palmyra a
real paradise.
It was always warm there but
never too hot. The largest island
in the group was about 200
yards square, and the smallest
about the size, of a doormat,
There was an abundance of
coconuts and bananas, and this
modern Crusoe was able to catch
a wide variety of fish.
Every three months Palmyra
was visited by tuna fishing
boats, but for nearly two years
Nikita rejected all offers to take
him off his island hermitage. '
Did he enjoy his stay in
Palmyra? Well — he intends re-
turning there later.
Not so anxious to repeat his
own Crusoe-like experiences is
Gilbert Sheldon, thirty-year-old
fisherman of Springcliff, in
Queensland, Australia,
He was rescued after being
cast away on a tiny island off
the Barrier Reef for eighteen
days, during which time he lived
on oysters, crabs and coconuts.
Sheldon was fishing off the
Reef when his twenty-five-foot
boat was swamped by heavy
seas. He held on to the capsized
craft for an hour before it sank.
For the next eight hours lie
clung to the upturned dinghy
which had broken away from
the boat,
The dinghy drifted to within
four miles of Scawfell Island,
which is about Sixty miles off
the Australian coast. Sheldon
decided to swim for land. It was
dark when, battered and bruis-
ed by the pounding waves he
flopped down on the island.
Although utterly exhausted,
he dared not fall asleep on the
beach, in case a rising tide
should sweep him out to sea
again. He climbed to a tiny cave,
fifty feet up the side of a cliff
and there slept until morning.
When he awoke, he found the
beach strewn with timber which
had drifted ashore from his boat.
He used this to line the Walls
of a foxhole which he dug in
the sand. For a roof, he used

alert for frost and rescued what-
