School Fluoride Program To Begin Monday

Starting Monday morning and continuing through the week of Nov. 4 to Nov. 8, Dr. Packard in forms us that he, his dental assist ant, and a team of local mothers, will be at the grade school apply ing fluoride solution to the pu- pills teeth in an effort to reduce future decay. The lower grades will be done first and the higher grades later in the week.
 Each day will begin with an educational film for those children who will receive the fluoride for the day. Each child will receive new toothbrush and be shown by the mothers just how to brush their teeth properly. Other mothers will instruct the children concerning foods that are good for both the body and the teeth, plus foods that are harmful to the teeth. Each child will have his or her teeth cleaned, after which the fluoride solution will be applied.
 Dr. Packard states that scientific evidence indicates that approxi- matey 30 per cent of all future decay is eliminated on children who receive the fluoride treat ment. No harmful effects have ever been found. This treatment is recommended for children of ages 3 to 13 years.

Pilots Should be Brave -. And Not Get Airsick'!

The bush carriers in Alaska move many thousands of people from hither to you each year, and in order that these travellers should be more aware of the reasons for the high cost of transport, we have reprinted one small boys opinion of what it means to be a pilot, as reported by United Airlines publi- cation, Shield.
 The story was written by third grader in a California school, writ ing an essay in response to a teach CTS query "What do you want to be when you grow up?"::
 q want to be a pilot when grow up because it's fun and easy to do. That's why there are so many pilots flying around today.
 "Pilots don't need much school; they just have to learn to read numbers so they can read instru- ments. I guess they should be able to read road maps so they can find their way if they get lost.
 "Pilots should be brave so they won't be scared if it's foggy and they can't see, or if a wing or motor falls off they should stay calm so they'll know what to do. Pilots have to have good eyes to see through clouds and they can't be afraid of Tightening or thunder because they're closer to them than we are.
 "The salary pilots make is an- other thing I like. They make more money than they can spend. This is because most people think air plane flying is dangerous except pilots don't because they know how easy it is.
 'There isn't much I don't like except girls like pilots and all stewardesses want to marry pilots so they always have to chase them away so they won't bother them.
 q hope I don't get airsick be- cause I get carsick and if I get airsick I couldn't be a pilot and then I'd have to go to work"

Diem regime is facing it's strong est challenge since it came to power
 Details of the revolt are con- fused and sketchy, but this much appears clear. The rebels are in control of Radio Saigon in the Vietnamese capital. They may hold other areas as well. A broad cast indicated the revolt was led by 14 Marine and Army generals and colonels. One rebel broadcast said President Diem and his brother had been given an ulti- matum to surrender or be killed.
 The United States has ordered military forces to move in the di- rection of South Viet Nam - to protect American lives, if neces- sary. The Pentagon said this is a precautionary move - and does not mean that American forces are taking any part in the situation in South Viet Nam.
 President Kennedy was awak- ened early this morning with first reports of the revolt. Several hours later, he met in urgent conference with top military and diplomatic advisers
 In Boston, Mrs. Nhu's father - the former Vietnamese Ambassa- dor to the United States - said if the report is true that Mrs. Nhu's husband has been killed he will try to see his daughter. Sev- eral times during her visit to this country, Mrs. Nhu has tried to see her father - but he has re- fused.
 On Capitol Hill. the Senate Dem ocratic Leader. Mike Mansfield, said the uprising against the Diem government calls for re-assessment and re-appraial of American poli- cy in South Viet Nam and in all of Southeast Asia.
 In Los Angeles, Mrs. Nhu said if the news is true about the mili- tary coup in her country it would be a great shame" for many Americans. Mrs. Nhu said: We all know that many Americans had waited for this for a long time"
