left untouched by the

of guiding wisely the .youth of the nation, are the
lesser, but important tasks of ration-buvine and

have been stepped at a cost of 20,000 liv es. In the

have been stopped with the loss of 200,000 lives. So

I reckon every tooth Is worth
a thousand dollars. My advice,
Ma'am, is that you should have
the treatment carried out as the
orthodontist outlined for you.
At the same time I take this
opportunity to ask a rhetorical
question, to wit, why shouldn't
your regular family dentist
carry out the treatment, with the
periodic counsel of the. ortho
dontist? .
Perhaps I credit the dentist
with more knowledge, skill and
technical ability than he really
has, and the orthodontist (an
orthodontist is a dentist who
limits his practice to straighten
ing irregularities of the teeth
and correcting deformities of the
jaws) with less.
For .some reason most dentists
are unwilling to undertake such
treatment, and in my opinion
this is not for want of sufficient
skill to do the work but because
they are intimidated by the noise
the specialists make about the
difficulties involved and the vast
amount of special training one

PASS IN REVIEW
Camp White, Oct. 9. (Spl.V-
Hundreds of civilians and mill
tary personnel witnessed the
formal review of service troops
of camp White Friday by their
commander, Brig. Gen. Amos
Thomas. - Against an Inspiring
backdrop of distant mountains
and wispy clouds, under the
warm blue of an Indian sum
mer sky, the soldiers began ar
riving on the review field west
of Post Headquarters at 4:45 p,
m., marching briskly to their
positions on the north side of
the field.
Long before they started to
march preparations had been
made for the event. The mo
bile amplifications system and
microphones had been set up,
five jeeps were, waiting to carry
the reviewing officers, 'the train
ing division had worked out
plans carefully, the photograph
er had set up his camera on the
balcony of the WAC barracks to
get a wide panorama of the en
tire ceremony.
When the troops arrived, 1st
Lt Claude E. Davis quickly
stepped forward and addressed
his commander. "Sir, the par
ade is formed."
Retreat was sounded, after
which, the officers left the re
viewing stand and climbed Into
the five waiting jeeps. Half
way across the field the first
vehicle, flying the one-star flag
of the general, paused to permit
MaJ. Eugene P. Walters to
enter. ,
Then the procession turned
westward and, at the end of the
line of 13 companies, swung
back for inspection. After com
pletely encircling- the parade
line, the official party returned
to the reviewing stand. .
The general quickly revealed
his impression of the soldiers
whom he had just reviewed.
Turning to the microphone, he
said to the assemblage, "It was
a . very creditable ' performance
in every - way. I am quite
pleased and I know the com
manders of each unit are pleased
too."
He turned to where the motor
of Camp White's new "elephant
train" could be heard starting.
"While this is' somewhat unor
thodox, we're using this occasion
to show a major portion of the
command the new elephant
train which was provided by
the Post Engineers for the per
sonnel of the camp.'.' The ve
hicle wiU be used as. a free
shuttle bus for the post.
The elephant train slowly
moved forward until it reached
the line of troops where at three
positions groups of specially-selected
honor soldiers climbed
aboard and rode to the review
ing stand.
To the marching tempo of the
SCU band, music, the 13 units
marched in parade past the gen
eral and his officers.
This was the first formal re
view held by the SCU and at
tached units to which the pub
lic was invited.- Regulations on
passes to the post were waived
to permit civilians to view the
ceremony.
