Tuesday July 1, 19)1 years for so long that they have come ta think it it a "proven facf Neither Dr. Sheffrey nor any other dentist tellt who proved that sugar favors decay of the teeth, or how he or the proved It la the booklet Save Your Teeth (35 centi and stamped, telf-tddretsed envelope) I cita the statement of Russell W. Bunting. D.D.Sc, professor of oral pathology in the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, pertaining to tooth decay: "Except when carried to an extreme and impractical degree, these measuret" (tooth brushing etc.) "Have failed to give any high degree of protection against the disease" (dental caries, cavity formation, tooth decay). "Clinical observations clearly Indicate that the activity and extent of dental cariet may be quite unrelated to tht degree of mouth cleanliness.

Relatively clean teeth may be extremely carious and filthy mouthi may be wholly free from defect." Let no reader infer that I would giva children all the sugar, candy, or tweets they want. I don't, and in a piece to follow I'll tell you why. From Pennsylvania some one aendi two clippings of letters signed by Stephen Sheffrey, D.D one of them giving also a street address, 249 S. Williams Lake but not the name of the town where S. Williams Lake Road is.

One of Dr. Sheffrey's letters to the paper begins: "Dr. Brady is at teeth again, blasting den-lists with a little of the sarcasm he usually reserves (or working members of hi own profession. He is, as usual, half right. Dr.

Sheffrey generously concedai that I am at usual half right. Tne trick specialists of St. Paul, Minn, or maybe it as New ark, N.J. or both places, defending the tonsillectomy atrocity against the truth I told about it, conceded I was hail right. But tuch let's-eall-lt-qultt argument doesn't make me pull my punches, whether we're fighting about tonsils or teeth.

Here's what you do. You stretch out on the sand and put a pack of cigarettes and a pitcher of martinis before you.

You say. "I'm not going to take a smoke or a drink for one full minute." Each day you add another minute of waiting before you indulge yourself. At the end of a two-week vacation you will be able to go a full 14 minutes. SLOW PROGRESS This may not seem like a major achievement, but look at It this way: if you continue this reform program on every vacation for 40 years you will windup being able to gt I hourt and 20 minutes without giving way to thirst or the desire for a pep-up puff. It's the little triumphs that add up In lift.

Suppost you've yearned all your Ufa ta play a musical Instrument, but never had tht time to learn. You ean do it on your vacation. I heard of one man who mastered ttit zither In this fashion. During each vacation he secretly learned all the notes that eould be played on ttrings. After 25 yean ht took hit zither to the office Chrlstmai party, and surprised everyone by playing "The Moonlight Sonata" In a way that left even the boss In tears.

Actually, if a fellow just doesn't rush It, there's no vice ht ctn't glvt up or art ha can't learn on a vacation and return a bet-ter man for it. One final virtue of this tystem. Nothing weariet one tinner more than seeing another in the throes of repentance. Your friends will be grateful whether you tuccted or fail that you spared them the boredom of watching your one-man reform wavt. If you must bt finer fellow, learn how out of town.

NEW YORK OR Curbstone comments of a pavement Plato: Are you puzzled over what to do on your vacation? Many men are. They know that if they go to the montains they will have to help the children pick wild flowers to paste in their memory books. They know that if they to the seashore, they will have to help the children collect seashells. And they know If they stay home their wife will keep them busy 16 hours a day doing odd jobs around the house, such at repairing the vacuum cleaner, hanging wallpaper or picking green worms of! the tomato plants chores any strong, able-bodied woman ought to attend to herself. If your'rt In thJs plight, here's an Idea.

Why not use our vacation to reform and Improve yourself? NEW YEAR BAD TIME Most men start their telf-reform campaigns on New Year's Day. This is a bad time. A man's resistance is so low in winter that he barely has the strength to continue his vices let alone summon up the extra strength required to abandon them. There is another factor. Vacation is the only time when a man can reform while lying down.

Any other period of the year ht will be standing up or moving about. Reform under this added atresi and strain is almost impossible. Still another advantage to giving up bad habits while on vacation is that there is no sudden wrench about It. You are in no hurry and can Improve yourself slowly and leisurely. But perhaps it might be better to give a construcUve example.

Let us suppose you have gone to the tea- are non-nuclear units. NO WONDER EISENHOWER AND DULLES ARE SKEPTICAL It la these factors, recognized and appreciated only belatedly, which make President Eisenhower and Secretary Dulles more and more skeptical of the value or desirability of talks at the top. If Mao Is Khrushchev's coequal, and his basic Communist policy is fixed at Peiping as well as at Moscow, no pledges or guarantee! at Geneva can be trusted. consent to such an arrangement. In fact, this consideration may explain why Mao has made no effort to be included in a "summit" get-together.

He does not want to be bound, although he has shown no hesitancy in breaking pledges. For the same reason, Khrushchev has made no demands that China be invited to Geneva. He has selected Poland and Czechoslovakia as the other Communist participating nations. Besides being under his control, they Readers' Letters Dorothy Kilgallen Spelling and the Schools A story appearing in the Asbury Park Sunday Press discussed the poor spelling ability of recent high school graduates who had applied for positions with this newspaper. Another story in the preceding issue of Th Press told of 39,340 pupils in the New York City schools who failed to be promoted because of below-standard work.

Interviews with a number of shore teachers and principals demonstrated considerable unanimity of opinion. Explanations for the poor spelling indicated that, in the judgment of the educators, the youngsters making this dismal record were the poorer students. The interviewer was told that students are graduated on the basic of the total credits earned and not on the basis of subjects. Another explanation was the mandatory requirement for boys and girls to remain in school until they are sixteen resulting in more and more poor students staying in school until graduation day. Each explanation is valid.

But each also overlooks the pertinent question: How did the student who spelled so poorly that she missed 25 out of 27 words ever get a diploma? Girls who desire to be secretaries and stenographers must, of necessity, be able to spell if they expect to hold such jobs. Therefore, one wonders how they completed the business course and received a diploma if they weren't proficient in an indispensable tool of their trade spelling. As mentioned above, more than 39,000 New York City pupils who did poor work were made to pay the penalty for it: they were not promoted, or graduated, as the case might be. We have a feeling that if this philosophy spread there would be a pickup in the quality of our young spellers. OTHER EDITORS RECOURSE TO COWARDICE The Senate Agriculture Committee has reported a bill which reflects the slavish aubservlence of Its members to the packing Interests and which, if enacted, will be a disgrace to Congress.

It provides for cowardly escape from a humane responsibility. The bill calls for a two-year study of less brutal methods of slaughter in American packing houses. Currently, these methods are the most heartless to be found anywhere. But they are cheap and for this reason tht meat packers would like to continue them. Humanity is not a characteristic of this business.

A bill passed by the House of Represen-latives would have restrained United States government purchase of products from slaughter houses employing Inhumane techniques. It was a reasonable bill and was deserving of Senate approval. Instead, the Agriculture Committee chose to throw a roadblock in Its path. The course followed reflects the Senate at its worst. It makes possible a continuance of practices that cause agony to helpless animals before death mercifully ends their suffering, all because the packers are unwilling to invest a little money In humane methods of slaughter.

There is no need of a study of this matter. The existing conditlona are known in all of their horrible details. Humane techniques are employed in many countries. They are based on the simple principle that an animal should be made unconscious before it is slaughtered. While we refuse to compel such a practice, our claims upon being an enlightened and humane people will be seriously Impaired TRENTON TIMES THEY TRUSTED, NOW THEY ABE DEAD The expressions of shock over the execution of former Hungarian Premier Imre Nsgy and Gen.

Paul Maleter for their roles in the October 1956 revolt have an air of unreality. Did anyone really expect the Communists to do otherwise with men who were, in Communist eyes, hateful counter-revolutionaries? Did anyone with knowledge of the Communist approval of treachery when it serves the ends of Communism expect tht Reds to behave honorably toward Nagy and General Maleter? What the Communists did in this instance was completely normal for them. Both Nagy and Maleter were seized by what we would look upon as treachery of the most reprehensible kind. Premier Nagy fell into Russian hands after he had been guaranteed safety by them In order to get him out of his refuge in the Yugoslav legation at Budapest. There is an irony about this.

He and the Yugoslavs were Communists and should have known better but they obviously believed the Russian promise. General Male-ter was "arrested" after he had been persuaded to confer with Soviet officers on ending the shooting. The official Hungarian version of the subsequent events leaves much to the imagination. Ia keeping with Communist notions of Justice, an elaborate case was built up against Nagy and his "accomplices." Some of the "conspirators" saw the error of their ways. The official version says they "showed repentance and pleaded guilty." Nagy and Maleter, however, were made of tougherstuff.

They "denied guilt" and only "partial confessions concerning the facts of their crimes" could be obtained from them. This spoiled the chance to hold an open trial. It is easy to guess the methods of persuasion used on the prisoners. The executions shoulfMie a lesson to us. In particular, the well-meaning persons who seem to think the agreements with the Soviet Union based on trust would be worthwhile ought to ponder the story of Nagy and Maleter, They Now they art dead.

PASSAIC HERALD-NEWS SAGE SAGE li word coined by the Air Force to define a mijor itep in the ir defense the United States. To the Air Force it means cmi-automatic ground environment, but to the layman it can be best described as an electronic high-speed computing system that enables the U.S. Air Force to attack an invading air force long before the enemy reaches the target. As General Curtis Lemay puts it, the ultimate defense against air attack would be to destroy the enemy forces before they get off the ground. This is highly Improbable so the next best air defense is that which attacks the- enemy as far from the target area i possible.

SAGE is now in operation. The first of 36 such computing stations has been built at McGuire Air Force Base. It is a significant step in the defense of the United States because it ties togther all of the many networks established on land, at sea, and closa to the North Pole, which are de-signed to warn the North American continent that a hostile attack is underway. Moreover, SAGE provides semiautomatic methods for directing the air battle against the invader, whether he launches manned air craft or air-breathing missiles. It does not provide for counter measures against ballistic missiles but holds promise of such use.

By opening its first SAGE computing center at McGuire the Air Force recognizes the strategic importance of 4he New York area. This center cost many millions to build, required the efforts of the nation's top scientists, and while it can be made obsolete by developments of the space age it is important to remember that this is not a defense on blueprints but something that is in actual operation to meet today's needs. The cost of the cold war with Russia is brought home by SAGE. This defensive step will cost nearly $3 billions when installed throughout the United States, enough to operate the government of New Jersey from now until 1965. The annual operating cost of $400,000,000 for 36 SAGES would operate all state services and provide for New Jersey's capital improvements for a year.

Despite this huge cost it's reassuring to know that SAGE is operating and that the nation's air defense has been strengthened. When SAGE is seen in operation it is apparent that the scientists at Lincoln Laboratory at M.I.T. and the 69 nidustries which produced SAGE are contributing mightily to the defense of America. Why Scrap Inspections? The New Jersey Law Enforcement Council has recommended that automobile inspections be suspended from three to five years with the funds saved thereby diverted to other media to promote highway safety. Specifically the Council suggests that the money now spent In inspections be used for driver re-examinations, "particularly of older and accident prone drivers; for driver education at the high school and adult level; and for research into accident causes and driver testing procedures." The Council's recommendations are supported by the announcement that "experience indicates that 95 per cent of accidents result from driver failure rather than vehicle malfunction." This observation invites the response, of course, that without the inspection of vehicles the percentage of accidents resulting from mechanical failures might be far higher.

Even when it is assumed that training and examining drivers may be more important in promoting safety than Inspecting automobiles there will be justified opposition to a move to suspend the inspection program. Over the years it has been generally recognized as successful in keeping dangerous vehicles off the roads and in forcing the correction of deficiencies in thousands of automobiles. Scrapping or even suspending a program that is held to have considerable value would hardly be advisable. Rather should it be continued and additional funds provided for the training and examination of drivers to prevent incompetent drivers from operating an automobile. Highway safety is too vital to permit of substituting what may be a more pressing program for a program that is regarded as helpful.

Saving lives and preventing suffering on the highways calls for the adoption of tvery devict that will contribute to the cause. WASHINGTON Mao Tse-tung't rise (o a place of power almost equaling Nikita Khrushchev's in Moscow represents a threat to the United States that matches the Red menace in Central Europe and the Middle East. It has sharpened international tensions beyond previous breaking points throughout the world. Mao helped to provoke the execution of Imre Nagy and his Hungarian colleagues with the deliberate intent to shock Western civilization and to affront Marshal Tito in particular, according to State Department data. He contributed to the resumed feud between Russia and Yugoslavia.

He is largely responsible for Soviet signs that Moscow is reneging on the "summit" meeting it had previously proposed. REDS' POLICY DICTATED IN PEIPING The fact is, in Western opinion, that the Communists' broad foreign policy is now dictated in Peiping as much as it is in the Kremlin. And, although it would be difficult to conceive of a more callous creature than Khrushchev, Mao is considered to be even more fiendish. In the few years that he has oe-ei'pied supreme power over Chinese, Mao has murdered as many innocent people, and broken as many promises, as Stalin and Khrushchev combined. Marshal Tito, Indeed, credits Mao with the statement that could afford to lose 300,000 Chinese In a war, and still remain a major power invulnerable to defeat.

MAO TSE-TUNG'S INFLUENCE ON KHRUSHCHEV In analyzing the effect of Mao's Influence on Khrushchev, it is both significant and frightening that Mao does not want peace, disarmament or any relaxation of tensions between East and West. Thus, he seeks to block a "summit" conference, especially as he has not been Invited. Mao eventually would like to conquer or control South Korea, Formosa, the Indonesian Islands, the weak Southeast Asia nations, and possibly Japan. His successes in Korea and Vietnam against tht United Nations and the French, respectively, convince him that this would not be too difficult a task for an Industrialized and militarized China. CHINESE DICTATOR WANTS NO TLEDGES WITH WEST In view of these ambitions, he wants no agreement on conventional or nuclear disarmament.

So far as our intelligence services can learn, China has not yet reached the starting stage for the manufacture of any nuclear weapons, and they have not been supplied by Russia. Unfortunately, this "wicked and evil creature," to use Churchill's apt characterization of Hitler, has it in his power to prevent any suspension of nuclear tests or the manufacture of A-H shells and bombs. Seismologists generally agree that there can be no foolproof inspection system unless the vast expanses of China can be placed under constant surveillance. In his present mood. Mao would never are encouraged to use this jorum for the discussion of public questions.

TAKE BROAD OUTLOOK EDITOR, PRESS: As Americans we nave come to feel that everything we do and profess is the best. I think we are right. However, while the over-all aspect is good the Individual behavior of the individuals who compose America could slowly and gradually deter-iate to the point where our nation could lose those very qualities which has justified our feeling that our nation is best.

In our relations with other countries, In politics, in industry, and in all fields there is room to feel that each of us has in mind what is best for us individually rather than what is best for America. This is a reverse order of thinking because as individuals we can never function if we lost the heritage of which we are a part. As a nation, each strike by a labor union hurts America as a whole by weakening our economy to some degree. Our corporations build products with the competitive Incentive uppermost rather that what is best for America "as a whole. Our business people too often connive to avoid taxes without giving much weight to the fact that by so doing they are under-mining the structure that is us, our government.

On our highways, wt drive as Individuals who havt lawful rights and too many of us are Intolerant of the Imperfections of others. By doing this we forget that as Americans, for the good of our country, we saould share the highway commodity with safety so that our country can have and enjoy the best in transportation facilities. Let us each stop and consider; Is it right to act to our own personal advantage within our country if what we do has an aspect which can weaken or cause de-teriation of our nation as a whole' As individuals, it is right that we strive to stay alive, but it can never be right if in so doing we damage our chances to continue to exist as a nation.

May I make two suggestions 1. As they do at Coney Island, New York, use a barge out in the water making It possible for everyone to see them: 2. Construct catwalks on the beach so that the display could be raised level with or higher than the boardwalk. This would give everyone a chance to see theh wonderful ihow, wherever they art on the boardwalk.

JOHN MOGGS 17 South Main Neptune Emily Post Dear Mrs. Post: The daughter of a neighbor of ours was married recently. Several out-of-town relatives attended the wedding. As their house is quite small, I offered to put some of the guests up at my house. A cousin and her husband stayed in our spare room.

When they left, I discovered some of my things were missing. I was shocked as the couple who stayed with us seemed like such well-bred people. I can hardly believe that they would do such a thing and can only think that these things got mixed up in some way with theirs and were taken by mistake. Is there anything I can possibly do about this without seming to accuse them ef being dishonest? Answer: Write to them and ask if by any chance a blue slip, or a hair brush, or whatevr is missing, was packed by mistake with their things. ANNIVERSARY DINNER Dear Mrs.

Post: At my partnts' golden wedding anniversary dinner being given for them by all the children, how are they seated at the table and who Is seated in places nearest to them?

Otherwise, seat the oldest children especially if they are not living In the same house next to them. Or if all the children are living at home and are seated with them at every meal, every day, give these honor places to their best friends ACKNOWLEDGING COURTESY Dear Mrs. Post: When a strange man steps tilde to let me enter an elevator, or a bus, before him, is it proper to say "thank you" or is this courtesy taken for granted? A friend of mine insists that this is overdoing politeness.

Answer: "Thank you" briefly said it never overdoing politeness. DINING WITH STRANGER Dear Mrs. Post: On a long train tip, if a woman happens to get into a conversation with a man and later he asks her to join him in the dining ear, may she accept? If you say "yes" to this, should she ask to have her own check? I travel a good deal and so often it would be pleasant to go to dinner with a companion this way it it were not the fact that it is not always pleasing to feel under obligation to a atranger. Answer: If in your own judgment he is a perfectly proper person for you to have dinner with, you may dine with him but you should insist on separata checks.
