Value of Healthy
Teeth Far-Reaching

The primary purpose Of caring for
ones teeth is, of course, the mainten-
ance of health. But there are other
reasons for exercising this care.
Some of these are discussed in a bull
letin issued by the American Dental
Association and quoted here by Dr.
Richard c, Leonard, Chief of the Di-
vision Of Oral Hygiene, Maryland
State Department Of Health.
"The immediate value of healthy
teeth is quite obvious. Any one who
has suffered from bad teeth can
testify to the discomfort, pain and
distress that they can bring.
"Physicians are unanimous in be
lieving that healthy dental condi-
ton is Of the utmost importance to
the general health. People who have
good teeth know that the effort to
keep them in good condition is more
than worthwhile
But there are other values Of
healthy teeth which are not often
enough considered. These values
should be kept in mind, especially by
the parents Of small children Parents
can protect their offspring from Ger
tain sources Of unhappiness in later
years by providing them with early
and regular dental care
"Of primary Importance perhaps is
the value OF good teeth to the appear
ance No single asset TO facial good
looks transcends strong, clean, even
teeth. The contours Of the Jaws are
largely determined by the structure
and position Of the teeth.
Loss of teeth impairs the facial
appearance, sometimes seriously, caus-
ING untold humiliation. The person
with poor dental equipment may be
bashful. scIf-conscious and without
confidence.
"The person who, on the other hand,
can smile with the knowledge that his
teeth are in excellent condition is
more likely to be self-confident, and
sure Of himself He need not fear that
his smile will reveal the unsightly
evidence Of neglect.
"The economic value Of healthy
teeth is considerable. If the teeth are
kept in good condition from earliest
childhood, expensive repairs will rare
ly be required. In any case, the sooner
defects are cared for, the less the eX-
pense will be in the long run.
"The appearance of the teeth can
also have an economic effect. Success
in business life often depends on a
pleasing personality in which healthy
teeth play a prominent part"

\ Suggestion Is Made That Political
Committees of Garrett County
Arrange Jointly For The Trans
pOrtation of Voters To The Polls
And That Union Meetings With
Speakers OF Both Parties Present
Be Held At The Same Time And
Place.
To the Chairmen Of the Democratic
and Republican State Central Com

Gentlemen
1t is our duty to save tires and gas
oline to help win this great war.
therefore | suggest that the Repub-
lican and Democratic State Central
Committees combine to hire busses or
other transportation to carry voters
to the polls November Bird. BY careful
planning tires and gasoline may be
saved and expenses reduced Surely,
while our young men are marching to
war, we Democrats and Republicans
at home can ride to the polls to-
gether.
Further; If political meetings are
held this year, as they should be,
please hold them at the same time and

OUR DUTY

Duty is an old-fashioned word. We
moderns may talk glibly of rights, but
it was the word duty" that founded
this country, that animated those who
built it from the wilderness, that
made from people drawn from all
nations and all walks of life a united
nation.
Duty has a simple meaning -merely
to do what we ought to do. Not until
we began to hedge it around with
self-will, did our people turn from
the path of duty to the pleasanter
road of rights" And therein came
our period of weakness, the slacken-
ing Of moral fibre. the days Of self
interest that found US unprepared as
a nation when the crisis came.
There is no privileged group in this
country-no one who has the right to
shirk his duty There is no class above
the power Of this simple word. Meth
er worker nor employer is beyond it.
Meter rich nor poor can avoid it's
tasks. Neither youth nor age deserves
special consideration. Neither black
nor white can shrink from its com
mands Protestant, Jew and Catholic
are alike bound by the call Of duty.
We are in the midst of d world war
between the forces Of those who want
rights for themselves and for those
who want rights for all men who ac-
cept their duty toward others. Hitler
has stated the Axis case-the master
race Of Germans are to rule the world
with all other peoples working for
them. He has declared that there is
to be no religion but the worship Of
the Nazi state Our Secretary Of
State has stated our case when he
said, 1--WE have always believed-and
we believe today-that all peoples,
without distinction Of race, color or
religion. who are prepared and willing
to accept the responsibilities Of lib
erty, are entitled to its enjoyment"
Now we must retrace our steps and
follow once more the path of duty
We must do what we ought to do. We
must live up to what we know to be
right, not stand on our rights.
What that duty is, we know. We are
free people, with a heritage of
thinking for ourselves, not of serv-
ilely following the commands Of a
dictator. We know what is right and
what is wrong. No matter what the
religion to which we owe allegiance,
we have learned as children from
those in spiritual authority over us,
what our duty is. We must put into
practice what we know.
We have duty to perform-let us
use that duty as our budapest in all
our acts. If we do, the victory will be
ours. He that followeth after right
eousness and mercy tindeth life, right
eousness and honour"

Since they chose that party for

no logical reason to split my ticket

In its report the newsletter points
out that the committee, unlike other
Board of Trade committees, is
elected and has long waiting list.
Only those who appear likely to
maintain committee standards are
named to it.
"Once elected" the newsletter con-
tinues, 1.-The committeeman service

the required six new members a
year; conversely, he terminates his
membership on the committee when
he fails to do So"

associate members, the latter being
men who have served for many
years and wish to withdraw from

the committee sponsors spring and
fall contests by teams among the
committee members with prizes for
those obtaining the most members.
For the past 10 years an annual
average of 633 new members has
been maintained and this year Gil
are already in the fold Of a 1000

BY CAMBRIDGE CRIST.

The paramount need Of the Dis
trict today Is national representa-
ton, in the opinion of John s.
Gorrell, delegate from Burleith to
the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions.
Mr.. Gorrell said he was not so
strong" for local suffrage, but that
he felt national representation
would help the District Government.
Mr.. Gorrel first entered civic work
when he moved to the Burleith
area In 1925 as a homeowner-at
least potential homeowner, as he
put it.
I'm one of those guys" he said,
that when I get connected with a
group I am not content to be passive
about it. But it sometimes gets
you into trouble"
Apparently appreciating his ac-
tive interest, the Burleith Citizens
Association elected him president
three years after he joined its ranks,
and kept him in that position for
seven or eight years. He has been a
delegate to the federation for a
similar period.
Birthplace Is Problem.
Where Mr.. Gorrell was born Is
story in itself and one that
causes him a certain amount of
trouble in filling out any form that
requires the name of his birthplace.
He was born in Winchester, Cecil
County, Md, which makes it sound
simple But the trouble is that
what was once Winchester is now
nothing but two houses and is
known only to old-timers Of the
section.
He manages to get around the
difficulty by listing Akin, Md, a
town on the railroad tracks. Or,
if it comes up in a conversation, he
