Simple Final
 Rites Held for Sam Rayburn

BOWMAN, Tex. H = Simple final rites were held Saturday for House Speaker Sam Rayburn. They were attended by the humble and the great, including President Kennedy and former Presi- dents Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower.
 Supreme Court, Cabinet and Congress members joined thou sands of Bcnham residents in pay ing honors to the legislator who was Speaker twice as long as any other man in history. Rayburn, 79, died Thursday of cancer.
 The services were carried on national television.
 Sitting in the second pew of the First Baptist Church was Presi- dent Kennedy.
 Along side of him in the same pew in the left-hand section were former Presidents Eisenhower and Truman and Vice President Lyn- don Johnson.
 The close-knit Rayburn family sat in the center section.
 Rayburn's simple casket of gray with silver trimmings rested in front of the altar. A spray of red carnations lay on the foot of the coffin. The top remained closed.
 The minister quoted from John IA to the family, slet not your heart be troubled I go to prepare a place for you and whither I go. 7
 Then for the second service, at the Rayburn family burying place, he selected a passage from the fourth book of First Thessalon- ians: 'For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the arch- angel, and with the triumph of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first"
 The Rev Bernard Braskamp, Chaplain of the House of Rrepre- sentatives in which Rayburn served for more than 48 years, gave the opening prayer.
 Solemn, l1ushed crowds gather ed at the church and yn street corners, hours before the church service.

Two Indians Deserve Credit for
 First Thanksgiving

The first deed of Indian land to an English colonist is believed to have been made by Samoset, a chief of the Pemaquids. Ac- cording to World Book Encyclo- pedia, he transferred 12,000 acres of his tribes land to the Plymouth co1onist John Brown in 1925. Two Indians with an English accent deserve much of the credit for the first Thanksgiving in America
 They taught the Plymouth col
 onists how to make home in the new world and helped them establish a peace that lasted for more than 50 years.
 The first to approach the colon
 ists, reports World Book Encyclo-
 pedia, was Samoset, a chief of
 the Pemaquid Indians. He walk ed into the colony one day in
 March, 1921, and unsettled the
 settlers by addressing them ir
 English. Samoset, it turned out, had earlier met some English fish ermer along the coast of Maine and learned some of the language from them.
 Two weeks later Sarnoset drop ped in with his friend Squanto, a well-traveled brave of the Paw tuxet tribe. Squanto had been to England twice, once after having been Kidnapped and sold as slave in Spain by an English sea cap tain. He had returned to Ameri- ca in 1619.
 Samoset introduced the colon | ists to Massasoit, chief of the Ply
 mouth area. With Squanto acting as interpreter, the chief and the Pilgrims concluded a treaty Of friendship that lasted until Mas
 sasoit died in 1861.
 Meanwhile Squanto went tc live with the colonists, teachins
 them how to plant corn, pump.
 kins and beans and showing then
 where to fish.
 That year the Pilgrims had ;
 bountiful harvest and Gov Wm Bradford declared the celebration
 that became the first Thanks giving.

Frobably everyone experiences the painful condition at one time or another, and a great many persons suffer chronically from it. For them tender teeth are . constant, painful problem. Dr. Irwin D. Mandel, associate clin- ical professor, Columbia Univer- sity, whose speciality is the mouth and it's diseases, estimates that they number IS million in the US. He considers that dental hypersensitivity is most common in adults, particularly after age 35, and in growing children.
 Are tender teeth normal con- dition?
 Dental hypersensitivity is so common that it may almost be called a normal disease state" Virtually everyone experiences it after the dentist has cleaned the teeth, or when injury or surgery have exposed sensitive areas of : tooth or teeth.
 Why are adults after age 35 and growing children particu- larly susceptible?
 The answer lies in an explana- tion of why tender teeth hurt when exposed to certain outside stimuli which, in severe cases, include the pressures set up by chewing.
 Let us take the over-35 group: As they age the gums of many persons may recede exposing those portions of the tooth which, in youth and health, are nor mally covered and insulated by these tissues. Without this pro tective covering, teeth react t stimuli that formerly were noi felt or were pleasant rather thar painful.
 As for children, Dr. Mande
The Nome nugget., 1961-11-20

explains that their teeth are Representative because complete calcification and hardening of the enamel have not yet taken place. Immature teeth are high in or ganic substances, he explains, which provide many pathways for transmission of sensations.
 What can be done about tender teeth?
 Until recently, the only feasi- ble treatment has been limited to temporary remedies which the dentist can employ in his office. Today, however, there is avail- able remedy which is as simple as normal dental hygiene-brush- ing the teeth with 8 toothpaste containing an element naturally found in teeth (and bones) and which blocks the stimuli that cause the pain of tender teeth.
 The new toothpaste has been named Sensodyne. Investigators have reported in scientific jour- nals that it eliminates or reduces the pain of tender teeth in 9 out of 10 cases.

Injured Construction Boss Being Tended to In Three Languages

SEATTLE M Lawrence Younger, a construction boss from Ketchikan, has been in Swedish Hospital the past 10 days. He will be there about two weeks more.
 A falling rock on construction job near Ketchikan crushed his foot 12 or 13 days ago. Hospital ization and treatment here was ordered.
 Yesterday, he was being tended to in three languages by four young women, al registered nurses.
 Exchange students from many lands and many professional fields are common in the United States today. Nursing is no ex- ception.
 And that is the reason that Younger's nurses were Fusayo keno of Japan, Miriam Lofgren of Sweden, and Marilyn Peter son and Maria L. Bowling, both from Melbourne, Australia.
