Mrs。 Jones was very fond of singing. She had a very good voice, except that some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate which someone had forgotten to oil。 Mrs. Jones was very conscious of this weakness， and took every opportunity she conld find o practice these high notes。 As she lived in a small house， where she could not practice without disturbing the rest of the family， she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time， and practiced her high notes there。 Whenever she heard a car or a person coming along the road, she stopped and waited until she conld no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a shy person and because she was sensitive about those high notes. One afternoon, however, a fast open car came behind her so silently that she did not hear it until it was only a few yards away from her。 She was singing some of her highest and most difficult notes at the time。 As the car passed by, she saw an anxious expression suddenly come over its driver’s face. He put his brakes on violently， and as soon as the car stopped, jumped out and began to examine all his tyres carefully. Mrs。 Jones dared not tell him what the noise he had heard had really been, so he got back into his car， and drove off, as puzzled as he had been when he stopped.

Professors from Yale University agreed in a panel discussion tonight that the automobile was what one of them called “Public Health Enemy No。 1 in This Country". Besides polluting the air and overcrowding the cities, automobiles could cause heart disease “because we don’t walk anywhere any more,” said Dr。 H. P. Richard Weinerman, professor of medicine and piblic health。 Dr。 Weinerman's sharp accusation against the automobile came in a discussion of human environment on Yale Reports, a radio program broadcast by Station WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut。 The program opened a three—part series on “Staying Alive”。 “For the first time in human history, the problem of man’s survival has to do with his control of man-made hazards，” Dr. Weinerman said。 “Before this, the problem had been the control of natural hazards。”

Unlike most of the other holidays， the history of April Fool's Day is not totally clear. The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this traditin was in 1582， in France。 Before that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days， beginning on March 25 and lasting until April 1. With the reform of the calander under Charles IX, a new calander was introduced， and New Year’s Day was moved to January 1. However, many people did not receive the news or refused to accept the new calander and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1。 These backward folks were labeled as “fools” by the general public. They were often sent on “fool's errends” or were made the target of other practical jokes。 This evolved, over time， into a tradition of joke—playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the 18th century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. Jokes performed on April Fool's Day range from the simple (such as saying, “Your shoe’s untied!”） to the elaborate。 Setting a roommate's alarm clock back an hour is a common trick. Whatever the joke, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, “April Fool！” Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fool’s Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance， a British short film once shown on April Fool’s Day was a fairly detailed documentary about “noodle farmers” and how they harvest their crop from the noodle trees。 April Fool's Day is a “for-fun—only" celebration. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their “significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant。 Nobody gets off work or school. It’s simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever alert， for he may be the next April Fool！
