you don't want to pay for another new

You and you alone pay the price of

ineffective cleansing brushing of your

You just cannot brush your plate or

expect to keep yourself free from Dentmre

tragedies-when you unknowingly offend
the people closest to you.
Another hard fact about dentures is this:
The plate material isn't as hard as it

THE BOY SCOUT 18TH
THE BOY SCOUTS Of America completed the ceIebra-
ton Of their 18th Anniversary. Congratulations, and may the
Boy Scouts enjoy many, many more years Of useful, produc-
ton and effective life.
DURING THE past months people everywhere have
been most concerned over the problem Of juvenile delin-
quency. Federal and state officials have released figures
showing the increase in this menace, with but little progress
in combating it.
MANY SOUND proposals have come up from those
whose speciality it is to see to the solution of these problems.
Better homes, more cooperation from parents, more and bet
ter schools, and the like, are among the proposals advanced
These officials, however, understand and give full credence
to the great value Of such organizations as the Boy Scouts of
America, with its character building program for the future
Of America, and the world.
BOYS IN THEIR formative years must learn to know
and respect their fellows Of the same age group. They must.
learn the value Of life and property, the significance of a
daily good deed, and respect for law and order. All this,
coupled with sound loyalty and patriotism can be the main
spring for an unsuitable citizenry of tomorrow.
H VIRGIN IsLAND have their Scout troops, but
somehow there has not been the extent of development that
many citizens hoped there would be. Every boy in these Is
lands should be in a Scout troop, learning practical little
things, knowing more about his home and country, develop
ing character and the attributes Of good citizenship
IT MAY BE an excellent objective to have more and big
ger troops, to enlist every boy, and win the cooperation of
parents, guardians and Others to the fullest possible support
WE KNOW OF nothing better for boys than member
ship in the Boy Scouts Of America. By the time the 18th
anniversary rolls around may the number increase sharply
The time to start is now.
