Molher-To-Be
Stores Fluoride
In Large Amounts
New York, (Science Serv-lce)-Whether
or not she be
lieves that fluoridation of wa
ter is beneficial, a pregnant
woman is certain to store up
an amazing amount of fluor
ide during nine months.
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.

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.

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

''Oh; no, I'm not," protested
the boy "I swapped him for
two $5,000 cats."

of Fords for l9A-
A new world of style I A new wprld of savings 1
A new world of performance I
A new world of biiilt-for-people comfort I
A new world of station wagon living I .
This is the great automotive news of our
'generation: on October 8, for the first time,
there will be not one, not two, but three com
pletely new kinds of Ford cars designed and
. priced for nine out of ten Americans. And here
they are! ' ; ; .
.The 1960 Fords The Finest Fords of a .
r-- Lifetime, beautiful from any Point of View, "
worth more from eyery Point of Value! sv
The 1960 Falcon The New-size Ford,
the world's most experienced new car,
and the easiest car in the world to own!
The 1960 Thunder bird The
Most Wanted Car!
World's
FORD Th Finest Forcs
of a Lfftffmt
Here axe 15 new Fords like no Fords you
have ever seen before! Economy-minded Fair
lanes. Big-vglue Fairlane 500's. Elegant Gal
axies. Five beautifully husky new station
wagons that go as smart as they look.' A sleek
new Sunliner convertible and a brand-new .
. hardtop model, the flashing Starliner.
A wonderful new world of style. Ford's beauti
ful new proportions flow smoothly through an
eleggnt Thunderbird-inspired roof to swift
rear-quarter lines. This is fine-car elegance.
A wonderful new world of performance. The
action-packed Thunderbird 292 V-8 and 352
V-8 deliver blazing acceleration with kid-glove
smoothness. And like the famous Mileage
Maker Six, they thrive on regular gas!
A wonderful new world of ride. With Ford's
new Wide-Tread Design, front and rear wheels
are spread farther apart for a full 5-foot tread
like the Thunderbird. New leaf springs, now
5 feet long, have been designed into Ford's new
anti-dip, anti-squat rear suspension. Result:
a car that handles like the Thunderbird, corners
like the Thunderbird, rides like the Thunder
bird at low Ford prices!
A wonderful new world of economy. Lowest
priced of the 15 glittering new 1960 Fords is
the Fairlane, most beautiful economy buy of
- all cars in the field. Next in line is the Fairlane
'W0, the absolute Value Leader, dollar for
dollar. Every Ford in every size and model is
designed to cut costs every mile. And Ford's
, Mileage Maker Six and Thunderbird 292 V-8
:and 352 V-8 all travel beautifully on regular
igas at savings up to a dollar a tankful. Full-
FlowOil Filters mean you can run 4,000 miles
without an oil change. Maintenance costs are
cut by Ford's aluminized mufflers that last up
to twice as long as the ordinary kind. Ford's
Diamond Lustre Finish never needs waxing.
And Ford's powerful 66-plate battery at no
extra cost gives you surer starts. " .
A wonderful new world of built-for-people
comfort. Six big people including the man-in-the-middle
ride in greater comfort than
ever. The new Fords give you as much as 4
inches more shoulder room, more knee room,
more hip room. You relax on chair-high seats.
A wonderful new world of safety. Ford's big
safety news for 1960 includes new Truck-Size
Brakes with brake linings 25 bigger. And
Ford's new Safety-Girder Frame is 25 stronger
than ever before. You get better visibility, too.
FALCON Th Nw-Siz9 Ford
Here is the welcome news Americans have
been waiting for . . . the Falcon, a product of
Dearborn, Michigan, automotive capital of the
world, was expressly designed for American
needs on the American road. It's the one
economy car without the economy-car look.
The 1960 Falcon is a truly experienced car.
As a climax to 3 years and 3 million miles of
research, a fleet of Ford Falcons has just
completed EXPERIENCE RUN, U.S A., over
every mile of numbered U. S. highway.
Averages up to 30 miles per gallon. Experience
Run, U.S.A., proved it! Oil savings? Ford's
standard Full-Flow . Oil Filter stretched oil :
changes 4,000 miles apart. ' '
The engine's np front for greater safety and
stability. Built brand-new for the Falcon, the
modern, short-stroke Falcon Six was developed,
and mounted up front, according to long-proved,
thoroughly accepted engineering principles.
I960 Falcon seats six with ease. Six fit com- :
fortably into the New-size Ford, the Falcon
and it swallows luggage for six in the big rear
trunk that holds over 23 cu. ft.
Easiest car in the world to own. The new Ford
Falcon is so easy on the wallet ... so easy to
drive . . . and so easy to look at. Now, it's
easier than ever to be a 2-Ford family!
THUNDERBIRD
wBm Thm M-V' UnttWrnntrnM far
For 1960, the Ford Thunderbird is crisply
and distinctively new without basically dis
turbing the famous profile that has made it
America's new fine-car favorite. Performance
has been honed to a new razor sharpness. And
there's a new, optional sliding sun roof, and
a new fully automatic convertible top!
No matter who you are ... or what your
tastes and needs . . . there's an exciting 1960
Ford styled, sized and priced just right for you.
