 At first thought, 1t might that would not be necessary to spend sXgure to mankind the basic emotion of fear The erae world knows enough about the bomb be frightened of it. The possi- btes of Unparalleled catastrophe have been expounded endlessly.
 And yet the history the past 10 months makes it seem likely that Dr. Einstein and his distinguished colleagues who make the Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists would have difficulty in changing our modes of thinking even with 10 times $200,000.
 Men fear the atomic bomb to be sure But they do not fear 1t as present peril Face to face with danger men act 1nstlncvey to protect themselves. But though the aomlc bomb with and capable of being day as 1t 10 months it has summoned up wide spread and instructive demand for immediate defense
 Rather, most men to fear atomic power as they fear deathand that the moment is all atomic power means It means simultaneous death for thousands perhaps millions perhaps for most of the human But it also means Individual destruction And that is probably how the majority think of it. Twill it kill us?"
 Many of us-perhaps most of us-sufer from the for tunae lack of logic that permits imagine that we can postpone death by postponng thinking about it. By that very lack of logic strive enjoy more perhaps and avoid adding great deal of morbid anxiety this already anxious world
 But that lack of logic is why it has taken mankind such long and painful time to learn to protect it. self from danger and death which potential but mlnen The healthy, vigorous human need for a medical checkup The motorst and the industrial worker know that danger turks the highway and in the machine but the feeling that It can't happen to me- strong Thus needless pain and death spite of the increasing effort and accommodating wisdom of science and engineering.
 Dr. Elnsten and his colleagues plan nationwide paign ito let people know that type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive That indeed is demo- cratic approach But it also may involve longer process than the situation permits
 Might it not be better for the scientists concentrate their efforts this and other and upon the still uniformed United Nations group which is control atomic energy It is at these high levels that the steps must be taken to the world from the which sci responsibility To change the mode of thinking among at tNese high levels will be a hard enough task.

 This is simply example out of hundreds that could be cited where soeazed business the unwy taxpayer plenty Every time the properties of private taxpayng enterprise removed from the rolls to be- monopoly; the taxes of everyone else up.

 My husband was told by our Den tist that he has pus in his gums and should have all his teeth pulled (WriteS another). I made him con- suit our physician and he said he would let no dentist pull them all at once, and now my husband is more confused. (Mrs. C.B)
 l am under the care of Dentist (WrlteS another reader) who has taken Xrays of my teeth and ad- vlses that they should all come out, and be replaced with upper and lower plates (C.H.H)
 In these letters and hundreds more like them I discern a deplor- able tendency on the part of even intelligent or well educated people to accept handicaps which they should ocercome or correct or at least try to overcome
 Mrs. WILD. does not say Wheth- CT her husband lost most of his teeth on OkinaWa from decay of the teeth or from a wound. However it happened he is unwise to try to get along on Okinawa from decay of the teeth or from a wound. How ever it happened he is unWise to try to get along without new teeth, on the pretext that his gums are too tender His loss of weight is probably just one sign of the mal- nutrition that inevitable results from loss of many teeth, if the defect is not promptly remedied by installation of suitable dentures.
 Occasionally fairly healthy per son may limp along for months or even years minus several teeth, be- fore his or her health shows serious impairment.
 Mrs J. E. does not say whether her soldier sons teeth which were perfect ? 1-2 years ago are in bad condition now from decay or from some other cause It is conceivable that the boys teeth may have de- cayed beyond repair in l-2 years, thought I doubt it-not in the arm- ed forces of the U. $.

 The boxes which Willie May supplied GenerS Tire may be the clue to one mystery unsolved by t Mead Committee-what became of the lumber ord duced by the phantom Cumberland Lumber Cond pany which Congressman May organized with Fri Basin money, and then hastily returned last Apri when he found the Mead Committee was on hS trail. Perhaps some of this lumber went to nepheJ Willie May for his General Tire boxes?
