which would have been overlooked Is years ago.
Dr. Fishbein makes highly interesting comparison
between the physical standards of our Army ana tne
much-vaunted Germany army Back in 1885, Cen
eral Won Blomberg established the physical require
ments for Htlers legions. In the German army men
are taken service who cannot meet the la stand
ard the U. S. army demands The German army VIII
draft for military duty any man who is physically ana
mentally able to perform any kind OF service What-
soever. The U. S. Army wants and will accept only
men with high physical and mental qualifications
The American medical fraternity must be given
much the credit for the physical and mental health
of our youth No people earth has medical care
of so high a standard. We have more doctors per
thousand of population than any other country.
No man, rich poor who requires and wants medlcal
attention, suffer for the lack of it. The thou
of doctors who giving their services, without
charge to the Selective Service Boards, are making
certain that the Army gets only the cream OF the
crop. And the thousands of other doctors VINO nave
been called into the Army making certain that
they stay physically and mentally we'll. The rumors
to the effect that physically weak people are
completely untrue and should be scotched.

NATIONS DENTAL
PROBLEM SERIOUS
Largest Single Cause Of
Reflections in Army EN-
phasized in Broadcast

Solution of the nations dental
health problem. the severity of
which has been emphasized recent
ly by findings that dental disease is
the largest single cause Of physical
reflections in the Army, will require
an about face ON public compla-
cency regarding diet and dental
care, Franklin M. Erlenbach, d. M
| D., Chief, Division of Dental Hy-
giene, said in the weekly broadcast
Of the State Department of health
To prevent recurrence of the de-
plorable conditions found among
draftees and to build up dental
health there is a remedy SO COM
paratively simple that 1t probably
blinds us to its Importance, accord
ing TO Doctor Erlenbacll. This calls
for regular semiannual trips to the
dentist beginning at an early age
with more thought given to home
care of the mouth and to the foods
selected to feed the body.
Although the cause OF tooth decay
Is unknown, it can be controlled by
replacing diseased parts with plas-
tic Filings, Doctor Erlenbach point
ed out. Hand in hand with this must
60 changes in food habits, particu-
larly sugars, cakes and pastries
which are prime factors in dental
disease. Choose your food wisely;
satisfy the needs of your body first
and then indulge your appetite. Get
your teeth and those of your chill
dren repaired regularly each year
When this is done America will have
advanced toward better dental
health.
Dental disease starts to increase
at about the sixth year Of life, or
when the sixth molars appear, ex-
planned Doctor Erlenbach. Each sue
ceeding year small number of ad-
ditional teeth are attacked so that
by the nineteenth year diseased
teeth may far outnumber healthy
ones if regular dental care Is not
carried out. BY filling these addi-
tional teeth each year as they be-
come diseased, the problem is one
of correcting few yearly dental
defects rather than a large number
accumulated because Of negligence
over period Of years.
Repeated surveys have shown thai
over 80 per cent Of elementary
school children have dental defects
according to Doctor Erlenbach. Ir
the age group 8 to II years oyel
one-half have dental decay in perm.
anent teeth Prior to the examina-
ton only 81 per cent of these hac
ever received dental treatment. II
fact, only 20 pr cent Of our popu.
lation seeks and gets regular denta
care. Out Of the Army's first AGO.

DEFENSE HOMES
CALLED UNFIT
Congressman DOwnes to
Take Part in Probe Of
Charges in Bridgeport

A conference will be held by
Bridgeport's housing authority Sat-

into the 300 FWA defense homes will
be considered Harold C. Poole, exc
cutive director for the housing au-
thority earlier in the week decried
the deplorable condition of the de-
Tense units, stating they were unfit
for habitation." Mr.. Poole has COM

officials and also with Mayor Jasper

Mr.. Poole contended that the
properties are being allowed to be
occupied by the defense workers of
Bridgeport with as much as four

He declared that the cellars are

Speaking for the entire police
board, Chairman Verriker said, I'VE
want to make 1t possible for every
one to comply with this regula-
ton which will be strictly enforced"
Police Superintendent Roach told
the board he expected to complete
the survey by early next week.
Arrangements will be made with
the school commissioners and the
park board to obtain permission for
parking of cars in school yards and
on park property and other city land
in sections of the city where off,
the-street parking spaces are un-
available.
Commissioner Verriker's state
ment follows:
"At this time would like to take
notice of the newspaper comments
in regard to- the regulation on all
night parking; in that know a
great many people have been led to
believe that the regulation will be
rescinded or not enforced, and this
has given them the wrong impress
sion.
1--WE are still making a study of
the recommendations we will make
to the board of education and the
park department, asking them to
allow overnight parking in school
yards and on other city property
in such sections where the public
has had difficulty in finding park
ing accommodations With this in
mind, Supt. Roach and his depart
ment are making survey of the
city in regard to the number of
cars that are still on the streets at
night and such places as could be
thrown open to overnight parking
and will make report to the board
at an early date"
No opponents to the ban appeared
at the meeting. Commenting on the
petitions which have been received
requesting that the regulation be
rescinded or its effective date post
poned, one commissioner comment
ed, eve have received about 1000
complaints. There are about 10000
automobiles registered in Water
bury. Certainly the DIRECTORS are
in the minority"
The board received and referred
to the traffic committee a letter
from David. F.. German of IS Alder
street, asking that automobiles
parked in front of his home nightly
be removed.
