Bleeding Gums
MAY MEAN
Loss of Teeth

If your gums are sore. spongy,
inflamed-if they are receding and
full OF pus--do. something about it
right away. For these are syinp-
toms of awful Pyorrhea-and if
neglected may mean loss OF teeth.
Here's an effective way to get
after Pyorrhea symptoms--get
bottle OF Py-Ro and use as directed.
You'll be amazed how Py-Ro
soothes and heals the inflamma-
tion-reduces the bleeding and re
tards gum recession. Your teeth
feel tighter in your mouth-using
them will be a pleasure again.
Try Py-Ro. You can't lose. II.
at the end OF 2 weeks you are not

A good deal OF publicity has been
given TO power grids" in various

to insure continuity OF operation
and interchange of power. Such a
grid has been in existence here
for years. The Detroit Edison sys-

plants belonging TO the City OF

into a network or grid OF power

Despite talk OF power shortages

PINTER TO MEET
TOUGH OPPONENT
Cyclone" Reed, USING,
Has Proven To Be For
midable Ring Man

Gene Pinter, the ight-heavy-
weight who closely resembles
screen star Jimmy Cagney in ap-
pearance, is matched with an ex-
tlemely tough fellow in Cyclone
Tommy Reed for the semi-final
ring match here next Monday
night at Legion stadium.
Reed, now a member OF the U.
S. Marine Corps, has tangled with
some of the hardest hitting nit
men in the west in his short ca
reer in professional boxing and
he is noted for his ability to take
it along with dishing out goodly
portion Of punishment.
In his first appearance here,
Pinter made big hit with the
fans as he can also sling a wick
ed piece of leather. He got his
early tutelage under the great
Micky Walker, the top bulldog Of
fistiana. When he meets Reed, the
two will square off for the first
time against each other, so nc
predictions on the outcome are to
be heard at this time.
This bout, scheduled to run for
ten rounds, will be the curtain
raiser to the Big Bill Wilson-Eddie
Nader affair, a return bout which
has been arranged by popular de-
mand. In their first fight, Wilson
and Nader slugged it out to a
draw in six rounds. but with the

frames, one of the boys may &C

and has cut his weight from I'll

The trotting and pacing races
scheduled at Legion Stadium this
afternoon will bring to Whining

in North Carolina. The races are
slated to start at 2:30 p. M, and
will consist of four frames, three
heats each.
The horses entered will represent
the noted Symbol bloodlines, the
Hanover line and many others.
Their owners will drive them for
the most part and the affair is ex-
pected to provide much excite

swing at rapid clip around the
dirt track
Several local entries have been
made and many cities in North
Carolina are represented. This race
is the second on a series which
has been scheduled for Whining
ton and all indications point to a
better show than the first.
The race. will last throughout
the afternoon and the shipyard
