I agree with the disc jockey's wife's views on the subject, but disagree with the lady who in her defense of rock and roll, used the phrase, "let's don sup press our children," or words to that effect. I thought that "don't suppress your children, or it will make them frustrated" idea was going out of style as I notice of late it has become the subject of meny comedians jokes, and the child guidance experts are begin ning to agree that some of the old child training methods weren't so bad after all. After 20 years of the "not sun- pressinf our children" school of thought handed to us by the child psycholog'sts we are now reaping the fruits tf that nolicv thp crime rate, juvenile delinquency ana rne discipline problem in the schools.

I read In an article that more teachers wei quitting the profession because of the discinline problem than any other reason, including low pay.

In some cities they are being "suppressed" by the banning of filthy literature from the book stands, and I believe they should be further "suppressed" by the banning of trashy and objec tionable music.

Manager Hits PRAISES WNVY MUSIC There was a letter in the News-Journal a day or two ago, February 23, to be exact, about tha music that radio station WNVY played. Some one seemed to think it wasn't very good. He said onions to station WNVY and orchids to station WBSR. Well I think someone was a little mixed up about the onions and orchids deal because it should be tha other way around and I am pretty sure that the majority of the people who listen to the radio agree with me. Anyone that likes music of any kind likes to listen to WNVY because I think they play very good music that everyone enjoys.

They have a variety of different kinds of styles of music. They play the new popular songs as well as the old favorites that everyone loves. For the short time that WNVY has been on the eir I think they have become very popular with tha people in the Pensacola area. Anyone that describes the musio that WNVY plays as screaming, groaning and grunting should listen a little closer because they haven't been listening very close. Personally I keep my radio dial on WNVY and everyone in my family enioys the wonderful musio that WNVY plays.

I think that if more stations would try playing a variety of songs as WNVY does then it would make radio listening more enjoyable. I hope that WNVY continuet to play the wonderful songs that they have played in, the past. STEVE PROFFITT Rt. 5 Box 654 LETTER NAUSEOUS It disgustingly seems that radio station WBSR has a successful (to some people) advertisement program launched. Their notice in tha News-Journal pertaining to their stand on absurb music to me is no better than a mere advertisement instead of a change to the better.

It is obvious that this notice was not only for their listeners' good but also themselves. Mr. Haire stated in last Sunday'i paper that he got a nauseous feeling in his stomach when listening to radio station WNVY. I got tha same feeling when I read his let-ter. I wonder why he doesn't get himself a job with WBSR.

He mentioned that there was a lot of screaming and grunting in the music played on WNVY. I think that he has mistaken this happy and gay music. After all it isn't played for people that alwaya go around with a long face. WILLIE BILLINGSBY Rt. 1, Box 128 Cantonment Profiles iiiu ne attenaeci Kenyoo Since going on the eir Januarvi 1st of this year, WNVY and it's1 staff have been the target of the most vicious, dishonest smear campaign ever perpertrated on any radio station.

Your newspaper, un wittingly or otherwise, has been the voice of a few nious. narrow minded individuals and a radio station whose competitive efforts have been conducted on a lever far below that of businesses of in tegrity. We have recpivpd thousands nf letters and phone calls from Pen- sacoiians Dorn young and mature applauding our efforts; therefore, we are forced to believe that mrwt of the malicious rumors and letters have been instigated by competition. The music format we hsp in. eludes an equal number of top nines and standards identical to that of leadine stations in mnst imapr cities, it does not include smutty" records and only twelve percent of our broadcast day is aimed at teenagers.

A few of the ridiculous letters you have printed have definitely stated that adults and vounErstprs I who like rock and roll are stupid and immoral. As the only daily! newspaper in this citv von rfmnW certainly be above printing such utter trash. Other absurd rumors that havp been circulated about our station is that we are peddling dope that we are owned and operated by the NAACP. One minister in Brent (his religion forbids such things as dancine and th has declared irrevocably that anyone who like rock and roll is a dope addict. This will come as quite a shock to mv si nw daughter who adores Elvis sne thinks anyone who doesn't is a aope.

RON TUTEN, WNVY Manager Pensacola TIIEO Tinvwnnv ha idc Scenic Highway To Help Negroes As a born and reared Ksr-amhia Countian, a registered voter, and taxpayer, I am making a plea and suggestion in behalf of the Negro property owners and citizens that will be affected by the four-lane highway coming into the city. To the city manager, mavor. commissioners, and Chamber of Commerce, whom I think are the right authorities to make nlanc for our city's advancement or im provements, for a citizen to make their plea to: I want to say that I am one hundred per cent for any improvements or advancement that we can make for our citv. I feel sinrp history has proven that Pensacola is the oldest city in the United States.

It should be New York City, with Washington, D. and all of its government powers. Since we haven't been so prosperous as to have it be the largest city we can boast of being the best city managing authorities when it comes to the welfare of your citizens. As we all know that Negroes cannot buy a home, or select a site for a business anywhere he may desire, and for that reason it is much harder for him. Then he being the lowest salaried man keeps him from owning a home even if he desired one.

I just read where some of the land in Brent was trying to be bought for a Neero housing rf. sion, and it was protested by the wnne people. Out there was where I was born and reared till my late teen aee. and white, nnrt Ttfeirrne lived in the same neighborhood logetner. we had two judges to live out there, and mv Int.

My suggestion would he. our beautiful Scenic highway. I nave traveled it so often and find on the water front side we could make a four lane highway without destroying any homes.

I also think our tourists would enjoy and appreciate the sight of the water ramer man the woods and houses along the planned route. I think when we think nf sll nf our material advancement could not have been made without the human touch, we will agree that human welfare should come first. (MRS.) ROXIE CALL. 524 W. Belmont St.

Not since the days of prohibition have Americans been so concerned about what they drink, though today's contro versy is not about liquor but about water more specifically, about aaaitives to ma, such as fluorides. Fluorine is a gaseous element in the chemical family with bromide, Iodine and chlorine, all nntentiallv poisonous, but the first and second usea wiaeiy as meaicine and the third running through all of our water pipes daily. Trace elements of fluorides are found in sea water, in some mineral springs, and in a variety of iooqs. Average ingestion by humans in food and water is 1 to 2 thousandth of a teaspoonful a day. Blood does not tend to accumulate fulorides but it may be deposited in bones in a reversible manner.

A lethal dose of fluoride would be to 10 tcaspoonsful. One would have to drink approximately 2500 quarts of properly fluoridated water dally to develop serious complications. Crippling fluoride poisoning occurs when persons ingest or Inhale the equivalent of 50 quarts of fluoridated water dally for 10 to 20 years. There is no evidence that small amounts of fluoride affect the heart, blood vessels or kidneys. Contrary to the rather widespread belief, fluorides are never found in kidney stones nor is there any evidence that the cancer death rate is affected by fluoride.

The most common symptom of excessive fluoride intake (2 to 5 parts per million or more) is mottled tooth enamel. This is only produced during the first eight years of life when the enamel-forming cells function. The dental detective story of fluoride began 50 years ago. At Gloom Spreader Ignoring Facts; Future Bright Micro hat Wn much talk of late that our nation is headed toward a great depression. I do not believe this.

In fact, I believe that we are on the threshold of a new and more stable period of prosperity. I feel that there is a definite need on the part of each and every citizen to evaluate the current economic situation in light of his own individual position. Each of us has his own special problems and is under various kinds of presides. The one thing that we have in common is the need for confidence in the future and optimism to cope with the present and mild recession. The smog of the rumor spreaders is becoming more pronounced each day and if we permit the whispering campaign to continue it could engulf us.

We would find ourselves in the midst of an era of long-faces. The majority of us are so equipped that looking the facts straight in the face does not frighten us, but rather gives us more determination. The small group who become panicky at the slightest sign of a mild recession and throw up their hands are the persons we must watch. These people tend to become rumor spreaders and, more often than not exaggerate the facts beyond recognition. For example, I was informed just the other day by one of these so-called gloom spreaders that the Chemstrand Corp.

planned to lay off between 1,500 and 2,000 employes. Nothing could be farther from the truth. (I understand from reliable sources that only 500 employees will be furloughed and that company officials feel confident that this will be only a temporary lull.) This is just one example of what can happen if one small note of a slipping economy falls into the hands of a devout pessimist. I feel sure that most of you have heard many other similar tales. Looking very briefly at some of the facts it is very easy to become confident of our future prosperity.

The Econometric Institute predicted recently that the present mild recession will play out in mid-year and will be followed by a ten-year period of prosperity. This is the same organization that predicted the 1953 recession and recovery right on the nose. According to a recent survey published in Newsweek Magazine, January retail sales were the biggest ever, being 4 per cent above January of last year. This means that most people are confident and are still spending on a prosperity level. The National Home Builders Association reported recently that even one million new housing starts in 1958 would be totally inadequate.

This organization states that at least 1.5 million new homes will be needed and sought by home buyers in the current year. These are but a few of the bright spots in the economy. It has been said that discouragement is the leprosy of life. I agree. crpd at times and all looks gloomy, it is im portant to dispel tnese ieenngs as soon as possible.

Think how much better off we are than our friends across the ocean who must day by day bow down before the re-lontioco hWc nf the hammer and sickle. It is well to remember that the Russian Communist would line nnthinir hptipr thnn to have a de spondent and discouraged America served to her on a platter, Deaien crprt and helD- less. I vote in favor of throwing off this cloak of discouragement and pessimism and in its place attire ourselves in an armour of Scientist Gaye Refprrin? to vmir "sripntifip facts" in the editorial, "There Just Aren't Anv Martians in Mnnriav Feb. 24 Journal, I am of the opin ion that vou have made ouite a few mistakes. No, 1 of your "facts" states, "There is no life on any of the nearest planets, That is a scien tific fact." Scientists have not proven yet the the moon is un populated, Venus is so thickly cov ered by its atmosphere that we haven even seen its surface! Mars, the red planet, the planet of canals, has shown signs of at least a form of vegetation.

(Vegetation is a lorm of Me, is it not?) Fact No. 2 states, "The nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is some 30 light years away under the most favorable circumstances and, if it has a populated planet in its sys tem, its scientists face the same problems as our own in the matter of the velocity of light. I will now quote National Geographic's A Map of the Heavens" Brightest Stars of the Southern Hemisphere (No. 3 in a table) Rigil Kentaurus (ALPHA). NEAREST STAR: I will further quote the Encyclopaedia Britannica under "Alpha Centauri" "Alpha Centauri is the third brightest star in the sky and is found to be our nearest neighbor; the distance is 44 light years."

(ED NOTE: The comments re garding human life on the nearest planets-the point of the editorial were quoted from an Associated Press Washington dispatch of Feb. 10, 1958. (In the dispatch it was nointed out that the Martian atmosphere was unbreathable, being mainly carbon dioxide, and there was a summer night-day temperature variation of nearly 200 degrees.

Since the editorial dealt with human life, whether there is vegetation on Mars is immaterial vegetation is not likely to make war on us. As far Venus, the AP said the atmosphere was poisonous. Similar statements were quoted by AP in an interview with Dr. Earl C. Slipher, director of Lowell Observatory, printed in the News Thursday.

So toe scientist was wrong,) Vote for School Bonds Held Help To State Rights On April 8 we will go to the polls to cast our vote either for or against the school bond issue. Before making our decision we should thoroughly analyze this is sue. We have the choice of select ing one of two courses that we mav follow in the not distant future.

Our public school system is the fundamental, mud-sill foundation of this democracy of ours. It was designed to give every child of school age an opportunity to secure a good, fundamental education, in preparation for higher education many instances, or be prepared to start out upon his chosen vocation in life if higher education is not desired. In order to fulfill the functions of our public schools we must maintain our public schools on the highest level and standards possible, both from faculty requirements and facilities placed at their disposal for thi; purpose. If we fail in our efforts to main tain our public schools on a high plane then it is just a question of time before our public schools now operated on city, county and state levels will be brought under federal control through further federal support. If we wish to maintain states' rights throughout these 48 United States, as our forefathers who designed our federal Constitution planned, it is about time we were applying our efforts in the direction necessary to perpetuate these states' rights.

Those of us who are paying the taxes to support our institutions are paying our full share now. but if a few dollars more taxes are required to maintain our schools properly as they should be, then I am sure that most of us would be willing to pay those small additions to our tax bills. Personally this writer has no children, hence, the only axe I have to grind is that interest and civic pride that I may have as a native Pensacolian and resident of Florida and my desire to perpet uate our states' rights without fed eral interference. These rights are worth more to all of us than a few dollars more in taxes, if that becomes necessary, regardless of our color, creed or race. Further encroachment, of our national creeping paralysis and the trend toward communism had bet ter be taken seriously by those of us called upon to either hold the une or sit idly by and watch our ultimate liquidation.

Please analyze this bond issue carefully and exactly how far reaching it may be before we cast that vote on April 8. Upgrading, regardless of what the project may be, is what builds modern cities, not downgrading. A. B. Avmard, 208 W.

By 1918 Dr. McKay, a dentist, became firmly Convinced that the cans nf mnnt- linging was drinking water but in terior methods of analysis at that time could not detect the fluoride.

The "hre-l in tl, o. in a roundabout way. In 1928 mot tling was found in Bauxite, an Arkansas town beloneins to the ALCOA Comnanv. At that time, odd persons were lecturing throughout the United States on the alleged toxic effects of aluminum cookine ware. If the story of Bauxite's mottling came out, alivjua wouia De in a dim-cult position.

The company's chemists, runnine snecial tests, discov ered that Bauxite water contained over 13 parts per million of fluoride. By 1931, further tests showed that all waters suspected of causing mottled enamel contained from 2 to 13 parts to the million of fluoride. The mystery was solved. During the next few vears sev eral researchers noticed the con nection between mottled enamel and less tooth decav. This was rnn.

In 1945 the first hatnh nf fluoride was added to drinking water in Grand Rapids, and a controlled mass experiment was begun in two New York tnwns Newberg received fluoride and Kingston received none, to act as the control. The battle was on.

Newberg children between the ages 6-10 showed 60 per cent less tooth decay than their non-fluoridated Kingston counterparts; not a single Newberg 10-year-old has lost a permanent molar from a decay, whereas 8 per cent of the Kingstonlans of the same age have lost a permanent molar. Prc-fluoridation forces include a string of scientific organizations which have either recommended fluoridation or proved it as a rea sonable prophylactic measure. These include most of the out standing dental, medical and basic science organizations throughout the United States and 17 other countries. Most recently the World Health Organization reported that the additive was safe, harmless and practical. The main objection to fluorida tion by the anti-fluoridationists are: (1) it is too early to evaluate the long range effect, which most likely will be harmful; (2) fluorides, in low concentrations are poisonous and their effect is ac cumulative; (3) the proposal in fringes the personal and religious liberties of many citizens; (4) it also violates the constitutional freedom of all because it is a form of compulsory medication; (5) claims of reduced tooth decay result, from badly executed or poorly interpreted experiments.

As of this year 1506 commun ities, including most of the larger cities, have adopted fluoridation. About 75 have tried fluoridation and then abandoned it. The con troversy rages on. A possible tran-quilizing effect for all could be obtained by adding to water fluorine's cousin, bromide, a very ef fective sedative. ARTHUR J.

The reports claim that Russia's first atomic sub will be launched this fall, followed by five more next year. The Soviet schedule could put Russia ahead of us in atomic submarines in five years. The Defense Department has re ported secretly to Congress that several airplanes carrying H-bombs or A-bombs have crashed or dumped the weapons overboard in the last few years. One Navy bomber dropped an atomic weapon into Chesapeake Bay less than 40 miles from Washington, D. C.

Because of careful safety precautions none of the bombs exploded or pro duced any poisonous fallout. The Army has reported to Con gress that it cost only $2,500,000 to launch the Explorer satellite. (This figure doesn include the cost of the missiles which the Army already had on hand and would have fired anyway.) The Navy has spent $110,000,000 on the un touched Vanguard. HERE IS AN incident which oc curred in the capital of the United States, not Moscow, which congressmen seeking to nullify the Mallory decision might examine. When a waitress was punched during a restaurant holdup at 1302 11th Street in Washington not long ago, she described her assailant as a "stocky" Negro.

Thereafter, 90 stocky Negroes in that area were arrested and 63 kept in jail over night. No charges were placed against them. There was no evi dence against them. Eventually every one of them was released. Suspects who complained they would be late for work the next day were told: "That's just too bad."

Foreign aid can be classified into three groups: (1) military aid; economic aid; and (3) technical assistance. To completely stop all foreign aid would mean the dis continuing of all three types of am to au loreign countries. Does anyone believe we should withdraw into a shell and expect to survive? To isolate ourselves would be suicide. We need allies and we need to equip them with the things they lack. Certainly we find faults in nur foreign aid policy, but does that mean we should discontinue it? Of course not.

There were faults to be found in the Marshall Plan but Robert R. Bowie said that "the Marshall Plan was decisive in checking economic deterioration and setting in motion the forces of economic expansion in Western Europe, u. s. Dept. of state Bulletin 34:129, July 23, 1956.

Beatty's remarks of the risky business of adopting a child: There is no mother, who is more Deserving of our praise, Than she who takes another's child To comfort and to raise.

Who has the blessing of the court io Keep ana call her own The baby somehow selfishly Allowed to live alone. Her name is foster mother, but it should be angel-queen, Fore she is all the nobleness That motherhood can mean. She is a bit of heaven on A cold and cruel earth, Where all too often human life Is deemed of little worth. Her child belongs to her not By the grace of nature's art, But by the choice made freely from The goodness of her heart. This beautiful tribute was written by an adopted 16-year-old boy to his foster mother.

What a shining example of young manhood this boy is, and who wouldn't be proud and so extremely fortunate in being his foster parents. One does not condemn or discard a barrel full of delicioius apples because one has a blemish. No child is born with a written guarantee of future righteousness. I hope Mr. Beatty's remarks will not deny a deserving couple knowing the joys of fulfillment of an adopted child, and a precious baby of knowing the love and devotion of foster parents.

What greater gift could a little risk bring, than having an adopted son like this one, and countless boys and girls like him, all over the world. A FOSTER MOTHER.
