Joel came in with a tray upon

coffee and a glass of Aunt Sallie's

They begin to calcify (harden) about

They begin to calcify (harden) about
the time the child is born. Conse-
quently, every item of the child's
diet and every factor in his health
during his first years of life have a
direct bearing on the growth of these
all-important teeth.
During the nursing period, the
mothers diet should include green,
leafy vegetables, fruit, whole-grain
bread, meat, eggs and milk and other
dairy products. AS the child grows
older, his diet should include these
tooth-building foods and also cod liv-
er oil, and he should receive plenty of
sunshine. The family physician
should be frequently consulted con-
cerning the child's diet and care.
"It is important that the child be
taken to the dentist as soon as the
sixth-year molars appear, to have the
new teeth examined. It may be that
they are improperly formed. If they
are defenctive, it is essential that the
flaws be corrected and, if necessary,
substantial Filings be inserted. This
will prevent serious decay and, indi-
rectly, will help maintain the contour
of the dental arches and thus aid in
normal development of the jaws"

MISS BETTY WARD
WINS GOLD MEDAL

Miss Betty Ward, a member of the
Junior Class of Pocomoke High
School, won Gold Medal as the first
prize in an English Composition
Contest held at Beacon College. This
contest was held in connection with
the Annual Open House Day, April
26.
Miss Wards essay is given below:
VALUE OF GOOD ENGLISH IN
BUSINESS
English is an extremely important
factor in business as we'll as in every
day life. In order to get a job of
any kind in the business world it is
necessary to know English-not just
know few things about it, but know
how to use correct English in your
speaking and writing. No. employer
wants a stenographer who does not
speak good English and who does not
use correct sentence structure and
punctuation in her work.
AS Blaise Pascal said, "Rivers are
highways that move on and bear us
whittier we wish to CO." The same
may be said about the English Ian
guage. Good English is a highway,
and if we use correct English in all
our transactions, we will get farther
in the business world-we will please
ourselves and our employers.
y When you are hunting for a job,
one Of the first questions the employ
er asks you is, "Can you speak and
write correct English?" IF your
answer is, "Yes", and the other ques-
tions meet with his approval, you
may be given the job. But if your
employer finds that you are making
too many mistakes in the use of Eng
lish, you will be fired without fur
ther notice. Hence, in order to hold
a job and do your work accurately
and exact, you must learn correct
English in school. If you do not
learn the right forms of English when
you are young, it is oftentimes hard
for a person to change his mind when
he is older and is being taught the
correct usage of English in the busi-
ness world.
You cannot have a successful busi-
ness unless you have a good English
background. Thus, we draw the con-
clusion that good English and busi-
ness go hand in hand in the business
world as well as in everyday life.

And despise your brand of patriotism

9Th YEAR MOLARS
TO Be PROTECTED
and PRESERVED
Oral Hygiene Of State Health
Department Explains Why
This Emphasis

DR.. Richard C. Leonard, Chief of
the Division of Oral Hygiene of the
Maryland State Department of Health
calls attention to the accompanying
explanation as to why so much en-
phasis is laid on protecting and pre-
serving the sixth year molars. The
account comes from the American
Dental Association. Here it is:
"Good looks, good health and good
speech-priceless possessions-are de
pendent on well-formed jaws. Per-
feet jaws cannot be purchased as
needed; they can be developed only
through proper care in childhood.
"The key to normal jaw develop
ment lies largely in the first perman-
ent molars, known as the sixth-year
molars because they first appear a.
bout the sixth year of life. If these
teeth are lost, unpleasant facial con-
tours, inadequate mastication of food
and even speech defects can result.
"The sixth-year molars, four in
number, develop and erupt directly
behind the last baby teeth in the up
per and lower jaws. They are the
most important teeth in the mouth,
acting as guideposts for the perman-
ent teeth which come in on each side
of them. If the first permanent mol
ars grow out of line or are extracted,
the remaining teeth are shifted out of
position and the jaw may become de-
formed.
"Care is indeed necessary long be-
fore the sixth-year molars appear.

LII any OL your naTanSueS over Cne all
Or in any printed word
Of ruthless act of barbarism,-
The total absence in anything you
have said
Of any appeal to patriotism, loyalty
to ideals,
Resistance to tyranny,
Willingness to fight to preserve
The freedom won by our fathers,
Any attempt to enlighten your fell
low-citizens
On the professed designs of aggres-
sOrs
To dominate the earth
And enslave all peoples
Not of German blood
Only the theme of fawning, cringing
and yielding,
Making what terms we can
With tyrants, liars and murderers,-
Peace at any price,
Betraying Lexington, forgetting
Gettysburg,
Eraslng the Arg0nne,
Spurning the traditions of pioneer
days
And all the glorious history
That has made America what it is,-
This is your theme, Charles Angus
tus,-
This is your sole text and message.
Truckle, fawn, crouch, and bow
Make the best deal we can
With brutal might and monstrous
tyranny.
This is what high school youth
In thousands of classrooms
Are learning day by day
Of one who once was set high on a
pedestal of honor
But who now elicits only scorn and
bitter contempt.
So gable on, Mr.. Lindbergh,
Continue to vomit forth your craven
song
Of defeatism and appeasement.
Continue to aid, comfort and delight
Hitler
And his gang of pirates and mur-
derers.
Continue to attract crowds of Com
munists,
Nazi lovers, enemies of democracy,
To hear your silly, futile, white-liver-
ed words.
Continue to divide and disunite your
country
In this day of dire peril
To all that true Americans hold dear.
This is still a land of free speech
And this is still your right.
But the school teachers of the coun-
try, "
Mr.. Charles Augustus Lindbergh,
Il can no longer call you Colonel),
Have the right of free speech, too,
And they also have duty to perform.
You have long since been deflated
and debunked
With the future citizens of America
Who despise your counsel and spurn
your advice.
From the eminence of cringing pol
troonery
On which they have placed you
Not even Adolph Hitler
Will ever be able to pull you down.
