Recent data suggest that pregnant women store more fluoride during pregnSncy and shortly thereafter than non - pregnant adult fe males and males, a review article in Nutrition Reviews points out. Scientists do not know, however, just where this abundant supply goes, nor how it is distributed. It is suggested that it might nour ish the maternal skelton, the placenta and embroyonic membranes and fetus. Studied in Jerusalem The data on fluoride reten tion among pregnant women were obtained by studying a total of 196 healthy pregnant women in Jerusalem. . Thy excreted lesser amounts of fluoride in their urine until they reached a plateau in the eighth month. This was fol lowed by a slow increase dur ing the ninth month. The fluoride concentration did not return to the pre-pregnancy level until two or three months after delivery. The concentration is not poison ous, the findings show. The studies indicate there Is a greater retention of fluo ride at pregnancy and short ly thereafter than there is in the non-pregnant adult wom an or the adult male. One of five Australian resi dents is either in Sydney or Melbourne. Girl Finds Lessons in Ditching Over Ocean Not Simple Matter By JESSYCA R. GAVER (Written for UP1) Tachikawa Air Force Base, Japan - (UPD - For those who worry about what may happen to them on a flight over the very long and very wet Pacific Ocean, there is a special "wet- ditching1! survival course giv en here three times weekly that could well be adapted for civilians. To find out whether a per son who had never been ex posed to survival methods could learn anything from this course, I accepted an invita tion to try it out from Capt. John F. Barmon, Chief . of Training for the Military Air Transport's 1503rd Air Trans port Wing (H). Four-Hour Experience It was a four-hour experi ence I shall never forget. It's also one I hope never to have to duplicate in actual ditching circumstances. Taking the course along with me in the NCO pool were all types of military brass and enlisted men. This is one place in the service where all ranks mix freely, since the perils of ditching are truly democratic. I can swim, but among those 30 men taking the course with me at least half a dozen couldn't. There was one in ab solute terror of anything con nected with swimming or sink ing. Nevertheless, he had to take the course and conducted himself as becomes a military man. I wish I could say the same for myself. Fortunately, 25 - year - old SSgt. Thomas Conway of South Hadley, Mass., the in structor, has an enthusiasm and understanding that are in fectious. He makes everything seem so simple that somehow I even found myself on a 30-1 foot high platform looking down on the water below be fore I remembered to be paralyzed by fright. Swam Easily I climbed down to a diving board which 'was at a more reasonable altitude, jumped into the water in my survival suit and swam ashore easily. Conway even forgave me for giving up on the 30-foot board. The next lesson involved wearing an old-style Mae West plus a parachute canopy rig to simulate the conditions of an actual bail-out. With our feet touching the water we had to unhitch the "parachute," fall into the wa ter, come up to n overturned one-man raft, turn it rightside up, get into it, turn our backs and lie down, then paddle with our hands to "shore." I did it, too! ' ' Next we were taught how to make life-preservers out of our pants, shirts, etc. Since I was wearing a bathing suit, this was impossible, although Conway said that females can make temporary water wings Experiments in Measurmenfs Given Washington -(Science Service)- The basic principles of measurement are explained and demonstrated in a new THINGS of science experi mental kit just issued by Sci ence Service. Materials are furnished that allow a dozen experiments in measuring weight, length and volume. Experimenters can make a spring balance and a beam balance, and compare English and metric scales of length and volume. out of brassieres if and when necessary. Then there was a lecture on ditching and the use of both daytime and nighttime flares and a demonstration of the new type of signal mirror for summoning help from a plane overhead. Flunked Badly To watch Conway handling a six-man life raft as though it was the simplest thing in the world, I couldn't believe that I would flunk this part of the iesson as badly as I did. Lucky it was such a hot day, or I might not have appre ciated all the dunkings I got. It was the one part of the course that a lot of the men flunked, too, so I didn't feel quite so bad. The last part, was the most fun, although it wouldn't be fun if you had to do it in real life. Pretending he was an air craft commander getting his crew to ditch, Major Ivan Glasscock got 19 of us to board a 20-man raft with him. These have something new, too: a boarding ramp. The old style rafts had non - inflated edges, so that an injured man would .have to be bent over the edge to board it. Had To Plug Leak During this test, we had to find and plug a. leak in the raft; we had to set up a canopy to pretend we were protecting ourselves from a hot sun or a rainstorm, we had to set off a flare, use the signal mirror and bail out the water that always gets into a raft, especially when there are a lot of people sprawling around. It took nearly four hours for these lessons, although the course usually takes three. All I can say is that more courses like this one should be given to civilians. v '- "rW- SS- p ALL DECKED OUT-Donnine an old-style Mae West, plus a parachute canopy rig.

(UPI Telephoto) High-Priced Pup Quickly Traded Marshfield, Mass - (DPD-Win Brooks spotted a sign posted by a neighborhood boy that read, "PUP FOR SALE-$1." Brooks told the' boy he thought the dog would sell better with a higher price tag. So the boy changed the sign to read,, "PUP FOR SALE $10,000." Next day Brooks was amaz ed to discover that the boy had put up a sign that read, "SOLD." "Hey, , there," Brooks told the boy.: "You're flimflam ming the public." ''Oh; no, I'm not," protested the boy "I swapped him for two $5,000 cats."
