Letters to editor
EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW

Dear "Everybody Knows":
Your experience with the patent leather shoes and
glass jars that cracked without sui ficient reason is
not unusual. Consumers today conti nua ly ntaen
for ride" wi tn one thing another. You why?
Because goods today produced for the sake Of
profit, and not for the benefit of the consumer.
The need of the consumer is not included in the
scheme of things Except where consumers have been
wise enough to 90 into production for tei use)
therefore the resulting commodities are not tones
money's WORTH.
Recognize Of TINS fact has resulted n what is
known as the movement in the Uni ted State S.
the purpose of which is ~ to di scover these m1-
Sc1'upllous practices the part Of the producers
and manufacturers, and (2) to attempt to thing
about it through legislation and protest.

Christ is truly present in the Holy Eucharist, but
only at the Council of Trent, in the sixteenth cen

sent In the Sacrament. This definition, crystallized
in the word "transubstantia tion", is neither

SWIMMING RATES DEFENDED

To the Editor:
There has been cons iderable discussion, npro and
con," these past few weeks regarding the rules and
rates governing admi sion to the swimming pool.
One group Of citizens, for whom Allan S. Arness
acted spokesman, rendered valuable service in
laying before the Council certain proposals designed
to enable us to swim oftener for given amount of
expenditure than
However, there published in the COOPERANOR
August 3, letter from Mr.. Arness, with certain
parts Of wfi Oh disagree the ground that it
conveys the erroneous impression that Mr.. Rraden
and other offc ials desirous Of limi ting our use
Of the pool, and that to this end they have estab
1ished rate schedules which di scriuiat against us.
Ne particularly challenge Mr.. Aness' statement that
at the Council meeting Of July II, na remark in
point made by Mr.. Braden, after questining, to
the effect that he knew Of people who went Swimming
every day and he Just didn't think it right.n
We attended this meeting of the Town Council, and
heard remark which logically could have been
strued to that privilege Of using the pool
much possible is being begrrdged US. Mr.. Bra
den did state that although pool swimming in most
communities is regarded luxury, grea many
persons in Greenbelt able, because Of the Low
rates charged to 60 swimming daily. This statement
made in refutation of the contention that the
rates charged high that they prevent many
Greenbelt citizens from using tn he pool.
We agree with Mr.. Arness that there is a real
need among families who wish to indulge in swimming
to any great extent for unlimited season pass,
and hope that next the commit tee may find it
feasible to provide for this. At the tt me. we
feel that the rates being char ged are indeed
moderate, especially in view Of the fact that this
is the POOLS first land the Of income
and outgo in connec with its operation was pro-
blematical at the time the rates estabH Hshed.

 So at %, with four years of col- lcge behind them, they find them- selves out-classed by the girls who graduated from high school and spent the next four years, or some of them, at work-no matter how unimportant the job.
 But, there is more reason for go- ing to college than to try to in- crease employment opportunities Education is also for personal en- joyment and enrichment.

 4 really worthwhile permanent wave leaves the hair as soft and glossy as 1t was before the winding --and even easier to manage, If you are willing to pay q fair-not neces. sarily eXorbitant-price for wave and think it worthwhile to make doubly sure that the operator is thoroughly experienced, there's no renson in the world why your new permanent won't De joy from the day you get 1t until it is pretty well grown out.
 When all is said and done. on the operator depends the success of your wave. If he is really expert at winding, making test curl and then deciding just how much heat your hair requires, you can put yourself in hiB hands and just for- get to worry about the type of pads or the heating method. In q repu- table shop and for reasonable amount Of money, you may be sure that equipment will be modern, pads and lotions turned out by a company as reputable as the shop itself.
 BE SURE YOU
 GET A TEST CURL
 Your hair will be washed, rInsed thoroughly and then dried by hand right after it has been cut and im- mcdiately preceding the winding, After it has been parted in sections and each section wound on q rod, the operator will put a pad of To- ton on one of the curls, then turn on the heat. Only by doing one curl and examining 1t carefully will he be able to tell how much heat your hair will stand and still remain soft and healthy looking.

THE PEORRHEA PROBLEM

THE PFORRHEA PROBLEM
 I sincerely believe that an inc feriority complex, due largely to the mere fact that they still main- tain separate schools Instead of closing their anachronous and un- warrantably expensive separate schools and returning to, the medi- cal school where they belong, Is now 6 serious bar to progress In American dentistry.
 It would be ridiculous, if it did not concern the health of millions of people, the way the dentors shy of or pipe down in e study or dis- cussion of the pyorrhea problem as soon as they realize they are get- ting over Into the province of the physician. /
 Pyorrhea is not merely local disease of the mouth, gums, tooth sockets, but in the composite opin- ion of nearly all autohrities 1t is primarily Q general systematic or constitutional condition, and the consensus today favors the view that 1t Is mainly nutritional de- hciency, with supperation and sep- tic infection as secondary conse- quences or manifesto ations.
 Tn earlier allusions to pyorrhea I have given such suggestions as I have been able to glean from the available scientific literature and by word of mouth from practicing dentors, especially relating to adequate daily intake of vitamins 0, A. D. and B-complex, and the particular fods which are rich in calcium and phosphorus. Of course these factors are more important In prophylaxis or prevention of pyorrhea, altohugh they are of prime importance in treatment too.
 Being as ignorant as the next person of the technical side os den. tistry, I leave the technical treat- ment of pyorrhea to your own den- tors skill and judgment have said ell . mere health advisor can say about 1t.
 Eugene Talbot, MD, DDS, dis. tinguished oral surgeon advised dentists dt was before my time) to apply to the gums and teeth be- fore and after every dental opera ton or treatment c strong solution of zinc iodid and iodine in elycerine and water. He, and many others who followed his suggestion, found this treatment especially valuable, applied by the dentist once c month for preventing or diminishing tooth decay in school children. and ap" piled ofterler. by the patient as instructed by the dentist, as Q help in the general treatment Of py- orrhea in the early stage (when the condition Is called "gingivitis"). |.

Gloritying Yourself
By ALICIA HART

your new curls will be washed and rinSed again or given Q vinegar rinse, followed by several rinsings
 with plain water. Under no cir- cumstances should 1t be rinsed half-heartedly, haphazardly.
 If your hair has been bleached or dyed, by oil means tell the opera tor before he begins winding. He'll probably know anyway, but it's Q good idea to tell him, and with what. Don't mutter something about the sun having turned your light brown locks quite yellow when yoli know very well that some kind Of rinse did the trick. This is Q time for honesty. Otherwise, the expert no matter how expert he is-will be coping with an unknown factor and can't be expected to do his best.

of note. The, fact that he had to present c poor report card every month to his dad did not prevent him from making good in the end.
 School provides the roughage children need. By this mean that each day they have to make Q real effort. Without 1t they might find 1t hard to conform to responsibil- ity. Mothers cannot do it all, in- deed very little, for their interest is personal. School is typical of life, more or less impersonal when 1t comes to obedience. Obedience to rule, to effort and to social law 1t demands them all
 The school of today Is not the tyrant 1t used to be. !, Children are taught by teachers who know the intricacies of human nature. Call 1t psychology or what you will, 1t is part of todays training for teach Ing. The problem-child Is recog- nized as such and handled wisely. Then, too, pupils are not marked entirely on their work credits, but also upon effort, promptness, atti- tude and the like.

 "FREE-FOR.ALL" SPIRIT
 have followed the work of pro- gressive and experimental schools that accent the interest" motive and teach largely through that. I approve up to Q certain point, and only that far. But they are doing what I predicted they would do, long ago.
 Gradually the free-for-all spirit is being tanned a little. They, too, see the necessity of some regimentation and are now adopting more formal methods, They, too. know that the word MUST has to be written large in every child's life.
 School Is good for children, I re- peat. Regular hours, tasks that com- pei attention, c bit of rivalry, gen. eral mixing, all these are the back. bone of real life.
