Fluoride Treatment
Starts tomorrow for
Pre-SchooI Children

Two dental teams will begin top
ical fiuoride applications to pre-
school children tomorrow morn
ing and will continue five days a
week until September 8, DIR. A.
Harry Ostrow. director Of the bur-
eau of dental service of the Health
Department announced today.
The applications will be given
for white children at the Ban
croft School, Eighteenth and New
ton streets NV. and for colored
at the Grimke School, Vermont
avenue and T street NV. Pre-
school children of both public and
parochiaY schools are eligible for
the treatment free of charge. All
children must request appoint
ments before going to the clinic
This can be done through the
chairmen of the summer round
up committees of the parent
teacher associations.
= In areas where there is no PTA,
parents may telephone the clinics
for an appointment.
DR.. Ostrow said in all cases
will be given children
entering school for the first time
next September. Appointments for
other children will be made later
in the summer. if time permits.
Four visits to the clinic will be
necessary for each child.
The clinics are stated by per-
sonnel from the United States
Public Health Service and the Dis
trict Health Department. No other
dental work other than applying
f1uoride will be done. DR.. Ostrow
said that one of the values of the
f1uoride program is the reminder
and encouragement given to par
ents to take their children 70 the
family dentist for any necessary
filings or other dental work.
Research has proved that So
dium f1uoride. properly applied to
children'S teeth, will reduce den
tai decay by 40 per cent" DR.. Os-
trow said. This summers fluoride
program for pre-school children is
part of Nationwide demonStra-
tion to encourage people to or
ganize topical fluoride programs.
Only through community effort
will every child be assured of re-
ceiving the complete series of
fiuoride applications every three or
four years. Only in this way will
every child receive the maximum
benefits of this decay preventa-
tive"
Mrs. Leo Raywid, acting presi-
dent OF the District of Columbia
Congress of Parents and Teachers,
said the program has the COM
plete support of her organiza-
ton.

The Mississippian is revising his
bill to provide that either the wife
or husband must be dismissed
from their jobs before another
career employe could be fired. 1t
would apply to husband-and-wife
combinations in Government who
earn a total of $500 or more a
year. or if either Of them earned
more than $4,000 a year. In those
circumstances, either the wife or
husband would have to give up
their job.
There are many cases in Gov
ernment where husbands and
wives earn total of $4,000 to
$4,000 a year or even more" Mr..
Williams said. yet in the cut
back in Government employment
that seems imminent, many hus-
bands who are the sole support of
their families would lose their
jobs. while these husband and
wife teams would remain. That's
why I'm pressing for action on my

Editorial
TRIBUTE TO FORMER GOVERNOR HAYWOOD
NEWS OF THE

NEWS OF passing of Charles Harwood, former
Governor OF these Islands, earlier this week undoubtedly was
received with sadness in many quarters. While there were diff
ferences between the former governor and the legislature,
yet no one can deny that his efforts in behalf of these Islands
were sincere and extensive. 1t was he who forged ahead in
securing the great public works program through which en-
ployment, construction, and the development Of public pro-
jects would help raise and maintain a higher standard Of hy-
ing. That the program did get off to a slow start, and has
moved at a snairs pace since 1914 was no fault Of his.
PERHAPS UNLIKE in any other political entity, the de-
gree OF intimacy between the people and their chief executive
is greatest and most pronounced in the Virgin Islands. Not
only is the place small, but a deepseated, long-standing sense
OF the truest democratic principles makes this possible. The
chief executive is therefore in a position to know the needs of
the people, and their thinking. It is for this reason that people
in these islands seem to know their governors more than any
other group. The passing of any chief executive, whether in
Office or out, is bound to leave 4 sense Of deep regret. We
therefore join in expressing our sympathy to the family Of for
mer governor Charles HARDWOOD.
LONG A FRIEND Of the late President Roosevelt, the
former governor started his professional and political career
in Brooklyn. He attended Hamilton College, after which he
studied law at New York University. He practiced law in New
York until about 1885. In that year he was appointed a Special
assistant to the United States Attorney General Between 1887
and 1888 he was US. District Court Judge in the Canal Zone.
Mr.. HARDWOOD was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and
held membership in Delta Kappa Epsilon and the leading bar
associations. He was also a thirty-second degree Mason.

YES SIR, THAT'S
MY BABY COMEDY
BILL AT CAPITOL

Yves, Sir That's My Baby" the
Funniest at the Capitol Theatre for
the last times tonight. is one of the
best comedies of the year, according
ing to the Sunday and holiday audi
ences.
Filmed in Technicolor and CO.
starring Donald O'Connor, Charles
Coburn and Gloria De Haven, the
film concerns the troubles OF a
young war veteran and his wife who
live with their baby on college
campus while completing their edu-
cation.
Everyone can look back on post
war headaches that have a chuckle
in retrospect. O'Connor and Miss De
Haven, as the young couple, stumble
on just about every trial and tribu-
lation in the book before bringing
the picture to happy ending.
AS the mighty but modest war
hero, Donald occupies a quonset
hut with his wife, Gloria, and their
baby, Boopkins, on the campus of
Granger College where Donald wants
to play football with his four vet
pals under Charles Coburn's tute-
lage.
However, Gloria and the other
players wives stage revolt.
Fate smiles at last, and with Don
aid and his pals playing, Granger
College manages to come through,
thus quelling the wives rebellion
and making a happy ending for
everyone.
Besides the laugh-provoking stu
atoms offered by the film, there
also are three new song hits.
