evidence that it is any lack or ex-
cess of food elements operating from
within the body that influences the
state of the teeth.
Rather, it must be assumed that
the excessive ingestion of carbo-
hydrates (and this includes not only
candy and soda-fountain drinks,
but other things such as derived
from cereals and fruit and veget-
able9 may affect the bacterial
growth within the mouth in a
fashion that leads to the increase
and growth of acidforming organ
isms, which, in turn, chemically at
tack the teeth from the outside.
The use of codliver oil and CAL
cium does no good and tends to
make this difficult problem seem so
simple that it de-emphasizes our
lack of specific knowledge as we'll

OPA PENALTIES
NEW HAVEN MAN
Shoe Shine ParlOr Failed
to Declare $50 Worth of
RatiOned Food

Albert S. Smith, 34-year- old New
Haven shoe shine parlor proprietor,
described by the State OPA as the
first Connecticut consumer to be
prosecuted for violating the food
rationing regulations" was enjoin-
ed today from buying or receiving
any coffee, sugar, proceSsed foods,
meats or fats for a two month
period.
The order, issued by an OPA
hearing Commissioner, and effec-
tive June /, finds Smith guilty of
failing to declare $50 worth of ra-
toned foods, and directs him to
turn his ration books over to his To-
cal War Price and Rationing Board.
Smith was stopped by a State Po-
liceman in Milford on April Is. for
an alleged traffic violation. While
he was being questioned, the police
man noticed that the back of
Smiths car was piled high with
cases Of canned goods, and large
stock of coffee, butter and sugar,
and inquired how the driver man
aged to obtain so much food under
rationing regulations. Smith said he
bought the food before rationing,
and later signed statement to this
effect at State Police Barracks,
while waiting to be examined by
OPA investigators.
He told the investigators that Il
don't remember where I bought the
food, and all know is that I
bought it before rationing," the
the OPA alleges. However, he adj
mltted that he had failed to de-
clare the rationed commodities
when he registered for his ration
ing books.
He explained possession of the
large stock of foods by claiming he
bought them Ito help out a friend
who runs a restaurant" OPA in
vestigators, checking with the friend
whose name they obtained from
Smith, were met with a denial that
she knew anything about Smith.
The suspension order followed
hearing in Hartford before an OPA
hearing commissioner.
Smith will be able to eat the food
which was found in his car, an OPA
spokesman said, as the State Police
have been authorized to return it to
him.

height in PARTICULAR show that nu-
triton is generally improved.
The matter has until recently
been considered one related to the
inadequate availability of calcium
in the body, and most of the means
Of correcting this evil begin after
a recognition of the trouble, when,
as matter of fact, the formation
of the tooth begins before birth.
The formation of the enamel by
the teeth is accomplished by a
layer Of cells surrounding the
teeth and, as the enamel is de-
posted, this layer of cells gradu-
ally disappears. BY the time the
tooth has erupted, the enamel
forming organ is completely gone.
No new enamel can be formed
or altered after the teeth have de-
veloped. The loss of calcium from
the enamel does not occur from
within the tooth because the tooth
is without blood supply. Any loss
that may occur must be from the
outside and carried away in the
! saliva
Furthermore, during the devel-
opmental period of teeth before
! birth, the child draws freely on
its mother for calcium. and as long
as there is any calcium in the
mother, irrespective of her diet, the
child will take what it needs. In
so doing, the calcium is drawn from
sources other than the teeth for tho
reasons given above-that is, no
blood supply in teeth The calcium
in the mothers teeth is not avail
able to the child, although that in
the bone is.
PROBLEM OF DECAY
Large-scale efforts in feeding cal
cium and vitamin D to make it
available have been carried out for
some time, with no significant in
fluence on dental decay. At pres
ent, while it is desirable for the
sake of the teeth as we'll as for 9TH
er reasons that the diet is adequate
in all respects, there is not very good

Good Evening.
MY MOTHER SANG

MY MOTHER SANG
reprint from the Christian Science MonltorO
I always loved to hear my mother sing;
She threaded all her work with MELODY,
At household tasks her song would come 10 me
Pitched sometimes in plaintive minor key,
And then again with JOY her tones would ring
AS she raised praises to her Lord and King.
I never catch the warm and odorous scent
OF fresh baked bread, but that there comes to me
The whisper of some bit OF hymnody,
For mothers spirit wandered far and free
Though feet and hands o. homely duties went,
And all her skill upon her home was spent,
Above the fevered turmoil of my way
MY mothers songs sing in my memory,
And when l need it most there comes to me
strain of music, like a jubilee,
From memories that often backward stray
Then peace falls on me from long-gone day.

CARTRIDGES EXPLODED

Then I worked out a routine. I'd
work on the fire. I'd go to one waist
gun and take a crack at the Focke-
WulfS. I'd give aid to the gunner
I'd go back to the fire. Then I'd go
to the other waist gun and take an
other crack at the Germans.
A couple of times the fire near
ly won. Our ammunition boxes
started smouldering. I chucked
one out the rear escape door. Two
others started to explode. How
they missed us III never know.
Then I noticed that half of the
control cables in teh radio room
had burned through. If the rest
went Well, put an extin-
guisher on them until there was
no more fluid in it. Frantically 1
looked around for another. There
wasn't one. I grabbed a drinking
water bottle.

Just when everything seemed
under control, saw we were fly

everything - guns, clothes, equip
ment - that hadn't burned.
From then on it just was a ques-
ton whether we could get home be-
fore the red hot embers cooled COM
pletely and teh ship buckled up.
We did. Our pilot really knew his
stuff. Even though he had less than
half the controls to maneuver with,
he set us down like a feather.
1t was just as well he did. Five
minutes after we got onto the
lovely ground the ordeal by fire
proved too much. Our ship just
buckled up in the middle and
died.

sides by fighters. Fortunately
there was too much to do to

the future-if any.
1 grabbed the fire extinguisher
from the rear of the ship, wrap
ped a sweater around my face so

tried to put out the fire where it

too much fire and too little ex-
