Teenage Driver
Courses Stressed
For Montana

helena Capt. Alex B.. Steph-
enson, Montana Highway Patrol
safety director, said yesterday
that n way to curb the states
hazardous traffic problem and
rising fatality toll is teenage
driver education courses in Mon
tana high schools.
Too many teenagers are re-
ceiving no help at all in their
early driving years, and the pres
ent record of our adult drivers
indicates that our teenagers are
not receiving proper guidance and
help in behind-the-wheel train
ing" Stephenson said.
In a recent survey of teen
ayers who were taught to drive
by their parents, Amos E. Ney-
hart, Americas foremost author
lty on safety behind the wheel,
discovered that the majority of
the teenagers regarded their early
driving instructions unpleasant"
Favoring driver education in
Montana, Stephenson said that SO
per cent of the Montana high
schools r offering driver edu-
cation courses but that only IL
per cent of the students r ben
citing from this instruction.
Stephenson said that Is driver
training courses will be started
within the next year.
Our problem right now is too
few certified instructors" Steph-
enson said.
Last summer 35 Montana teach
ers attended a three-week session
at Montana State University for
training certification.
Schools that are cooperating
with driver training classes are
overcrowded. Many of the states
high schools do not in
driver training in the cur
riculum.

Korea Veterans May Resume
Interrupted GIL Training

Veterans who interrupt their
Korean CT Bill training to PC
back into military service will
be permitted to resume their
courses after discharge, even
though their starting cutoff date
has passed, Veterans Administra-
ton said today.
Ordinarily, a veteran who sus-
pends CT training after his cut
off date for more than IL con-
secutive months must prove to
VA that the suspension over
and above the 12-month period
was due to reasons beyond his
control. Also, he must get VAS
prior approval before he NAV
continue his training.
VA has ruled that A training
suspension of longer than 10
months, caused by a veterans
return to active military duty
will be considered to have been
caused by a reason beyond his
control"
aIIer ne finally is
released from service, he will be
allowed to resume his elected
program of CT training so
as he does so within a rea-
sonable period following his dis
charge or release.
VA explained that conditions
are different for veteran-trainees
who suspend their courses for
periods Of II months or less. after
their cutoff date. Under the law.
they do not need to justify their
suspension, nor do they need VA
approval in order to get back in
training. 1t is only suspensions
Of longer than IL months that
require Justification and APPROX
al.
Deadlines for completing Kor-
can CT Bill training have not
oeen changed by VAS ruling.
Even though a veteran suspends
raining to re-enter the armed
forces, he still has to complete
us course within the original
line limits set by law.
The deadline for veterans sep
lrated from active service before
January 81, 1855, is eight years
rom the date Of separation. For
hose separated after January 81.
955, the deadline is eight years
rom separation or January 81.

FluOridation
Panel HeIdAt
Court House


DR.. Hyde, Richland county, dor
tor, called together a moderator
and a panel of six who discussed
and answered many questions
about putting fluorides into the
Sidney drinking water. The mem
oerS OF the panel, held in the
court room of the county court
house Nov. II, were:
Or. j. S. Pennepacker. DR. 7
Petersen, Stanley Levno. DR. Ger
Kovnlk' DR.. A. Sanford. Mrs
Maxine Homer, State Dept of
Health, Helena, Mont, and MI. K
HoVerSten, moderator.
AFTER a short talk from each
Of the panel members thew
invited questions from the audi
1t was brought out that no one
factor is the sole cause of tooth
decay. Neither can tooth decay
De stopped by only~one remedy.
therefore the wisest plan is to
use all the possible remedies in
order to decrease tooth decay.
one member of the panel stressed
that a proper diet will help the
growing teeth to become strong
and hard and so better able to
resist tooth decay.
1t was not only the conviction
OF several members of the panel
but an actual observation bv
man that in many communities
which have fluorides occurring
naturally in the water there are
very noticeably fewer decayed
teeth. The recommended quantity
OF fluorides to be put into our
drinking water is l part per mil
hon. There are many commune
ties IN the u. S. that have flour
Ldes occurring naturally in their
drinking water in concentration
high as 8 parts per million.
there are fewer decayed
.eeth but they are apt to be both
notified (white spots) and dis
;olored. However, if the fluoride
concentration is kept at the prop
r level of l part per million this
nothing and diScoloration is
nearly all eliminated.
1t was also brought out that
ne cost of installing and main
aiming a drinking water fluori-
tatlon program need not cost
more than a few cents per capita
)er year.
Moreover it was pointed out
hat fluorides are poisonous COM
POUNDS. And if taken in large
nough doses will cause death.
'ut so are many compounds of (,
0dIne, bronze, and chlorine which
very closely related to fluor-
ne and yet necessary to health. ]
We all know that if we don't get
ne RIGHT amount of iodine into :
ur bodies we will suffer from !
disease called goiter. That is l
ne reason why you have been $
armed many times to see your
octor before you start Teasing 6

The panel pointed out that

Use literature circulating about :

It is the duty of the people Of

leck both the source and the
nth of all information that Won s.

At the coffee and cookie hour Z
which the Richland County =

and various civic and fraternal
organizations sponsor a well
rounded program during the

tions Of Sidney have assumed a
great deal of financial RESPONSE

archery, a city archery shoot
and a city horseshoe tournament

Eisenhower May
 Get Standby Power In Vaccine Control

WASHINGTON, R-A nov e was gaining momentum in Con- gress yesterday to give President Eisenhower sweeping standby powers to clamp controls over dis tribution and prices of Salk polio vaccine.
 Rep. Wolcott R-Mich) said the proposal seems to be a happy compromise" between contradic- tory demands for only voluntary guides and for drastic, compulsory and immediate controls.
 He added he thought standby powers should be satisfactory to the Eisenhower Administration, which has opposed federal con- trols so far.
 WoIcott, usually a foe of fed eral controls, is senior Republican on the House Banking Committee, which is considering wide vari- ety of vaccine control bills.
 Committee Chairman Spence D-Ky) said standby controls might well be the best solution" but he was not ready to commit himself until he explores the tick fish matter further.
 These comments came yeSter- day while:
 l. The Public Health Service continued an On-the-spot recheck of vaccine manufacturing at the Parke-Davis and Co. laboratories in Detroit, the first of five manu- lecturers to be inspected. Surgeon General Leonard Scheele has called for halt in the nationwide vaccination of school children pending these plant-by-plant re- checks.
 2. Scheele agreed to go before the committee today to explain the situation further. Both he and Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, secretary of health, education and welfare, had declined invitations to testify Wednesday.
