'Valeniine Queen'
Planning Wedding
To Polio Victim
South Bend, Ind.' U.R)
'Valentine Queen" Phyllis Dil
lon, who proved her love by
sticking by her paralyzed sweet
heart, reigned over South Bend
today.
Her hour of triumph was a
prelude to an even happier day
the wedding which was inter
rupted by infantile paralysis
seven years ago.
The pretty 23-year-old secre
tary was chosen as South Bend s
Valentine Queen by the Associa
tion of Commerce in recognition
of her years of devotion to
stricken Anthony Lies.
On June 30, the couple's cour
age and patience will be reward
ed In the church ceremony
which will finally make them
man and wife.
Phyllis and Lies, now 30,
were to have been married on
Sept. 4, 1948. On Sept. 1, he be
came a polio victim.
Two Year In Iron Lung
At first, neither realized the
jjeriousness of his condition. But
then he was transferred to the
Hines Veterans hospital in Illi
nois where he spent two years
in an iron lung. Another year
In the hospital followed, while
Lies' faithful fiancee visited him
every time she could.
Lies has been back at his par
ents' home for four years, but
Phyllis said "he just assumes
now that he will be completely
paralyzed the rest of his life."
Phyllis said . Lies is "very
happy" over her decision to go
ahead with their long-deiayea
wedding despite his paralysis.
And, like any other prospec
tive bride, she is thrilled about
it." .

Back Stairs: FBI Executive
By MERRIMAN SMITH
United Press White House Writer
Washington U,R) Backstairs
at the White House:
Louis B. Nichols, the big FBI
executive, had an embarrassing
moment in the White House the
other day.
Nichols lost his hat right in
the middle of the President's
lobby. The genial assistant to
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover,
hunted for several minutes for
his skimmer but to no avail.
' One of the messengers at the
reception desk finally and ac
curately pulled Nichol's hat from
a pile on the lobby table, ex
actly where Nichols had been
hunting minutes before without
turning up a single clue.
No group is more anxious for
President Eisenhower to say
.what he plans to do about re
election than the White House
staff members who must handle
telephone and telegraph com
munications.
Once he announces definitely,
it will cut down on some of the
screwy messages that pour in,
often for no apparent reason.
One such flurry was started re
cently in the Canadian North
west when a radio listener call
ed a newspaper that he had
just heard the announcement of
Mr. Eisenhower's resignation. .
This inquiry spread rapidly to
Washington and the White House
was hit by a flurry of calls con
cerning the-report. It turned out
after some checking that the best

guess was a listener or listeners
in the Northwest heard the
broadcast of Mr. Eisenhower's
acceptance of the resignation of
Trevor Gardner as assistant sec
retary of the Air Force.
Determining the truth did not
keep the story from spreading,
however. The next morning, a
cab driver taking a White House
staff member to work inquired,
"What about the story on Ike
resigning?"
Told that this was- most un
likely, the driver was asked for
the source of his information.
"Fellow in the cab earlier this
morning heard it on the early
morning news."
A casual check among radio
newsmen produced no evidence
of any resignation story except
the Gardner case.
Whether Sherman Adams, the
assistant to the President, wants
the job is doubtful. But he has

Dental Health Improving

been made White House corre-
spendonet for Roll Call, a week
ly newspaper specializing in
news of Congress.
Roll Call's editor, Sidney Yu-
dain, in presenting Adams with
his "press card," said:
"You have been .chosen for
this important assignment be
cause of your New England back
ground and your succinctness "of
expression. Your first big. story
may well be told in one word
Yes, or no, as the' case may be."
Sample quotes from two men
who have talked directly with
the President in the past 10 days
on the subject of his reelection
decision:
First man: "He didn't say, but
don't worry hell run." ...
Second man: "He talked over
both sides of the question and I
frankly can't figure it out. On
the basis of what I heard, I
haven't the first idea . of .what
he will do."
of extensive investigations, the
first controlled fluoridation pro
ject was started in Grand Rapids,
Mich. In 1955, at ceremonies
marking the 10th anniversary
of the program, the results were
enthusiastically called "almost
too marvelous to describe."
No 111 Effects ' . '.-
In Grand Rapids, in New
burgh, N. Y., and in Brantford,
Ontario, all of which have
passed the 10-year mark in flu
oridation, the reports have been
the same: children who drink
fluoridated water while their
teeth are forming have only
about one-third as much tooth
decay as children who drink fluoride-deficient
.water.
And there are no ill effects.
At Newburgh, extensive phy
sical examinations of the chil
dren were made : by pediatric
ians. In addition . to the usual
pediatric examinations, there
were x-ray studies of the hands,
forearms and knees, and blood
and urine analyses. Eye and ear
tests were also given to groups
of the children.
The results of drinking fluor
idated mater were found to be
wholly beneficial.
Prevents Decay .
An interesting sidelight on the
Newburgh report was the find
ing that fluoridation was espec
ially effective in preventing den
tal decay on the side surfaces
of the teeth where it is particu
larly difficult to detect and cor
rect. '
Since 1945, more than 1,100
cities and towns have adopted
fluoridation as a necessary pub
lic health measure. From Anch
orage, Alaska, to Miami, and
from Philadelphia to San Fran
cisco, it has become a routine
water department operation.
In every instance where re
sults have been measured, it has
been pronounced effective and
in no case has any harmful ef
fect been reported.
In a review of the entire pro
gram, Dr. A.' P. Black; of Gaines
ville, Fla., head of the depart
ment of chemistry at the Univer
sity of Florida, commented:
"Fluoridation has now reached
full stature as a recognized
health procedure, and another
great landmark in man's long
fight against disease has been
passed."
Remains of Lion Found
In Portland West Hills
Portland (U.R) Two amateur
archers "bagged" a lion in Port
land's west hills Sunday but
it had been dead a long time;
The skeleton was found by
Frank Larson and James Potts
in a rain-washed gully in Wash
ington park. James Mullins, an
Oswego biology teacher, said he
was convinced the remains were
of an African lion. .
How did the skeleton get
there? Zoo Director Jack Marks
said it was possible it was one
of the zoo's animals buried many
years ago.
