Of cargo ships including a large number
of Liberty ships and Victory ships.
The value of the years work was
equivalent to over 1000 Liberty ships
and in terms of man-hours the company
estimates the 1943 program was equiva-
lent to the construction of % battle
ships. approximately 1000 of the ships
built were fighting craft and 5000 cargo
vessels.
In addition to the amazing production
record of new ships, Bethlehem yards
also repaired, converted and serviced
over 1000 vessels, thus playing a major
role in keeping our fighting fleets in
trim.
approximately 100000 men and women
were employed by Bethlehem in it's ship
yards, steel mills and other divisions
to accomplish this program. But be-
cause the company has set its sights
still higher for 1914 it will be necessary
to add still more to it's present army of
employees.

the shortage of labor would prevent any

be afforded by synthetic fibers. Mr..

Preventive Dental
Care Of Children
Is Necessary

Reduced dental costs and the aviod.
ance Of complications were cited by Miss
Gladys Eyrich, State Supervisor Of
Mouth Health, Mississippi State Board
of Health, as two good reasons for in.
GLIDING preventive dental care in health
resolutions of the coming year.
"Early dental care for the child cuts
down the time needed for repair work.
said she, "and lessons the possibility Of
losing teeth. Preventive service also
locates defects in the permanent teeth
and corrects them in time. Thus parents
pay a smaller fee than would be required
for correction of larger defects, and
children are able to retain teeth which
might otherwise become seriously de-
fective."
Pointing out that it takes a dentist
less time to repair small defects thar
large ones. Miss Eyrich deplored the
defeatist attitude of parents who say
they are unable to get an appointment
with their dentist due to present war
~cnnditions.
81 make the bold assertion that in
towns having local DENTISTS" said she,
"any parent determined to get dental
work done for a child can do SO. Fur
Their any PTA or school setting a con-
sisten objective Of 100 per cent dental
corrections for a goal year after year,
will eventually reach that goal, and will
save teeth for many children along the
way.
Although public health dental workers
are also scarce in the state, Miss Eyrich
said that any school, sufficiently in
terested to ask their county health de-
partment or the State Board of Health
for assistance in a dental health pro-
gram, will get it.
