DENTAL HEALTH

Perhaps the most tragic mis- conception concerning teeth is the belief prevalent among so many mothers that baby teeth need no attention because they will be lost anyway. Carelessness about chil- dren's first teeth, arising from this widespread transformation, often has serious results.
 Baby, teeth should be given the same careful attention as the per manent teeth. Small cavities should be filled as soon as they are discovered. Each baby tooth should be preserved for the whole period of its usefulness; that IS, until it is naturally replaced by permanent tooth.
 Premature loss of the baby teeth can prevent the jaws from developing normally. The general health of the child may also be impaired if the baby teeth are los, too soon.
 Usually, all the baby teeth are in position by the time the child is 212 years old. Sometime during the sixth year, swelling occurs behind each of the last baby mo- lar teeth. These swellings indicate that the first permanent molar teeth-the sixth-year molars as they are called-are about to push their way through the gums.
 Because these teeth do not re- place any of the first teeth, many parents regard them as baby teeth and show them the same lack of attention which they accord the baby teeth.
 The first permanent molar teeth are the first of the permanent set. Their arrival in the dental arch does not mean the loss of baby tooth. They erupt, usually unno- ticely, behind the baby molars.
 The first permanent molar teeth are the most important teeth of the adult set. Their loss usually causes the other permanent teeth to come in crooked and prevents the jaws from developing proper ly. It also reduces chewing eff ciency and is the first link in a chain of dental destruction.

THE C. 0. P. PLATFORM

Acutey aware of the growing consciousness among
Negro Americans of their decisive strength in seventeen
pivotal states of which the delegates reminded by
the ncessant pickeng in the vicinity of Convention Hall
in the City of Broherly Love. the Republican National
Convention formally ratified the electoral platform which
the resolutions committee had drafted under the leader
ship of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts,
Planks pertinent the interests of the Negro people,
according to the text of the published draft,
follows:

the prompt enactment of legislation to end this nfamy
Zone of the basic principles of this republic is the
equality of all individuals in their right to life, liberty

Constitution the United States it indicated the

eral legislation may be necessary to maintain this
right at all times in every part of this republic
1--WE favor the abolition of the poll tax a requisite

"We opposed to the idea of racial segregation IN
the armed services of the United States"
Since all the foregoing planks could have been easily
realized by the Republican Party majority during the
8Oth Congress before its adjournment and not

Americans expected to be credulous to hope
for their fufment by candidates for the nomination

WHITES SPLIT
(Continuel from Page L


This convention activity brought
a storm of protest from the six
upland counties which included
one fourth of the states popula-
ton. In this area whites pre-
dominate. In the lowlands, where
the law is opposed, Negroes pre-
dominate.
Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens,
Pickens, Richland and Spartan
burg Counties, therefore, have
opened their party enrolment
books on the same terms to Ne
groes and whites. Some of these
counties did not even apply the
anti-civil rights oath to registrants.
Registration of Negroes in the
South Carolina primary came as
result of U. s. Supreme Court
decision in 1914 that Negroes
must be allowed to register in the
Democratic primary. The state
had dropped all primary voting
laws in order to get around this
ruling.
The uplanders said that the con-
vention rules would bring about
court tests which might even in
validate election results. They
added that they may as well
realize that the courts will sup
port the Negroes voting rights.

this fall. This is the stuff we have
got to watch.
The most important thing in
the lives of a free people is the
protection of their Civil Rights.
And, the most important question
to be answered in the coming
election this fall, is: will Civil
Rights so long promised be at
last extended to minority groups ?
In a greet measure the answer is
up to ourselves.
If we take no interest In regis
tering and voting for the things
we want, we will simply remain
creatures of circumstance If we
register, organize and vote for the
things we want, we largely create
our own circumstances. 1t is need
less to expect fate or John or God
Almighty to do things for us that
we can easily do for ourselves.
AS the best materials and fab
|rics are not found on the bar
gain counter of clothing store,
neither are the best things found
on the bargain counte. of life.
Things simply do not happen that
way. To the contrary, there is
a constant and regular demand for
the best there is in life, the best
there Is in citizenship-the best
there is in manhood and woman
hood that keeps these things COM
ing to us only when we are will
ing to pay the highest price in in

today as they have never been

recognize the conflict between this
nations professed ideals and Its
everyday practices. Moreover. "the
sharper the focus in which In
ternational idealism is placed, the
greater the clash between this
idealism and the double standard
of citizenship by which these stu
dents are compelled to live. Such
a state of mind on the part of
students indicates clearly that the
first great task of education for
Negro youth is the reaction OF
a new formula of interracial
achievement that will recognize
that the ideals Of democracy can
not be realized In a racial vac
uum." Increasingly, he said, these

education of the races may be-
come a common practice In south

ing.
In presenting the medal, Mr..
Embree cited half-a-dozen recent
|triumphs of democracy in Amer
lea ito renew our faith in the
ultimate and inevitable success of
the crusade so brilliantly led for
many years by the National AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People," These triumphs
were, he said, ~ the Supreme
Court decision on restrictive cove
nants. (2) continued action against
discrimination in southern and
border states, (3) the report of
the Presidents Committee on Civil
Rights, "a the creation of official
commissions in some 80 cities to
give substance to the constitu-
tional rights of all Americans"
90 recognition Of Negroes and
members of other minority groups
to major realms of American fife
such as sports, theater, and edu-
cation and (6) the increasing CO.
ordination of minority groups in
a common fight for common
democracy.

abandon our march OF throw away
our birthright. I say deliberately
that anyone who would destroy
Americas heritage of health and
wealth and education of steady
progress towards individual free
dom and opportunity of the open
door to continued orderly progress
within the democratic framework
anyone who urges the over
throw Of this American heritage
is either a fool or a traitor, per-
haps both. We are torn at the
moment by cries to the right and
cries to the left. Let us not be
distracted by these sidewise move
ments. Let us not worry too much
about moving to the right or NOV

pressed profound hope that he
would duplicate his record on a
national scale when in the White
House.
Saturday and Sunday, prior to
the official opening of the con-
vention, were filled with fireworks
and campaign strategy. The Shell
don and Howard factions from
Mississippi fought tooth and claw
from the credentials committee to
the federal courts here to get
recognition as the Legitimate"
delegation from the state. After
much ado, the Howard faction
was seated while the Sheldon
group kept on fighting.
In another corner the William
r. Tucker faction of Georgia and
the Roy G. Foster group, also of
Georgia. had another battle for the
delegates seats. Mrs. Beatrice
Wallace, of Savannah, scored
point after point to champion the
rights of the Foster faction, but
equally dynamic John Wesley
Dobbs of Atlanta won out with his
group for the seats.
South Carolina had its diff
culties as Bishop Frank Madison
Reid asked for seats on behalf of
the B. L. Hendrix organization of
his state.
On to Convention hall and the
fight was mainly narrowed to the
nominations of Taft and Dewey, as
far as most Negro delegates were
concerned. Vandenburg, Stassen,
Baldwin, and Macarthur were not
noticeably represented in their re-
repctive demonstration by Ne
Igroes. However, the fight was
still a vigorous one between Taft
and Dewey followers until the
senator from Ohio yielded to the
governor of New York.
Particularly obvious at the con-
vention was the determination of
the Negro delegates regardless of
