AS A MATTER OF FACT

New York State will have many miles Of new parkways after the war according to Commissioner Robert Moses. The re- suits of the first parkway system dreams, you might say, began to materiallze some time after World War ], The Hutchinson River Parkway. the Lincoln Highway. and other glOrified highways in the east extending towards the west excited the curiosity of motor travellers. Now the parkways zigzag on the out skirts of cities and towns One no longer has the pleasure tor displeasure) of driv- ing through such places as Newark, P0mpt0n Lakes, Port Jeryis, P0rtchester, and the like. They are given the go bye since the pathways go to one side Of them. Travel has been speeded up by them. And now we are to look forward to more and more of them, after the war when traffic once again becomes a problem. And the road additions and Improvements that come to New York state will be duplicated in our own state. no doubt.

 IMMEDIATE DENTURE SERVICE
 It vas formerly the practice of dentists to extract teeth and then walt perhaps several months for the gums to heal and become firm and shrink to e more or less permanent form and size, before making een- lures or plates.
 Competent dentists today install plates, not just temporary oneB but the plates the patient win wear permanently, immediately after ex- traction of teeth, before the patient leaves the offlce.
 This is called 'immedlate denture service"
 Tn most instances the plates or other dentures so installed win re- quire minor adjustments or partial remaking. in all instances the pa- tient win require further care and instruction by the dentist, and in some instances the patient contln- ues wearing the new dentures with out interruption or too much dis- comfort from the hour of extraction.
 There is a more cogent reason for immediate denture service than mere personal appearance. although that may be important. particularly for those whose livelihood is at stake. It is a serious handicap to one personally engaged in business. profession or as an artist Co have to go wothout teeth for weeks and months.

The atrophy. uFl- fortunately. involves not only the muscles but also the other strue- lures, tissues. glands or organs whose functions happen to be re- lated.
 This atrophy begins early. within a week or less. and progresses grad ually. once the muscles are no long CT used regularly. It progresses in- sidiously, too. so that, if you gre in- clined to try to ignore your own de- cline or delinquency. you may re- main unaware of the sad whitening or degeneration that has overtaken you. You may deceive yourself that you are suffering so serious harm from going toothleSs, but after all you must acknowledge that tt isnt just because they don't look pretty that the government rejects Iner from military service when they haven't enough teeth to masticats food.
 More or less atrophy or degenera- ton inevitably occurs whenever an individual goes for any length Of time minus one or more teeth or dentures to take the place of the missing teeth. The inevitable ef- fleets of such crippling are O) im- pairment of digestion and conse- quent malnutrition and early de- cline of health oy vite. which is tantamount to premature old age; and l2) a sad sag in facial Hines and loss Of whatever youthful sym- metry or good looks the stupe may have had in his or her prime.

Vandenberg said Aldrich "does

as Wall Street banker"

bloc of the Paris press protested
today as liberated Frances first
big censorship rumpus boiled up
around the governments ban on
publication of a proposal OF the
semi-official national council Of re-
sistance.
It was unofficially learned that
the council criticized the sloWness
of supplying allied military equip
ment to the French army. Appar-
emily the ban stemmed from
French military quarters out Of a
desire to avoid friction among the
Allies.
The Socialist party's paper, LIE
Populaire, and the Communist pa
per, Humanite, barred from using
the pre-war device of running
black space to emphasize censor
ship, peppered their stories on the
forbidden pronouncement with the
word censored"
lie Populaire, in a prominent
front page editorial plastered with
repeated censored" slugs, related
that the censor had first asked
that publication of the questioned
material be ''postponed", then
banned it entirely.
LIE Populaire ran the text of the
governments May 6 ordinance on
military security and censorship
which is supposed to be the only
censorship existing in France now
and said the national council of
