MAIL TRIBUNE, Meaforo", Or. Friday, DecTiS, 1959 Oyer $1 Billion Spent Annually On Teeth Care Cambridge, Mass. - (UPJ -Americana spend more than a billion dollars caring for their teeth, but only a frac tion of that in research to pre vent tooth decay and mouth ailments, a Harvard profes sor said recently. Dr. Reidmar T. Sognnaes, writing In the current issue of Science magazine on the first 100 years of dentistry as a profession, said, "We have seen as much progress as one could ask for in return for our limited investment in dental science." Dr. Sognnaes, in his article, "Dentistry at the Crossroads," reported Americans spend SI .6 billion annually on den tal care about one sixth of the nation's total expenditure on health. . Small Percentage But, he said, only a small percentage of the money is invested in basic dental re search. - He said most of the nation's 47 dental schools were in a position to conduct research but were financially limited. Dr. Sognnaes, acting dean of the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, said the total en dowment of the 27 privately supported dental schools was less than ten million dollars. Program Outlined Looking ahead to the next century. Dr. Sognnaes out lined a three pronged attack against dental diseases which included federal support for training dental researchers; long-term research for dental scientists, and collaboration with research scientists in other fields. "Ultimately," Dr. Sognnaes aid, "this three pronged ap proach will elevate the whole trend of teaching, research and service for dental health." Leukemia Virus in Mice Isolated London -(Science Service) A virus has been isolated from m mouse with leukemia that will produce different tumors in mice and hamsters. - When young mice, rats and hamsters were inoculated, the virus produced heart, lung and kidney sarcomas, and mammary tumors as well as lesions, a team of British sci entists reports here in the British'Medical Journal. The virus, which is . now being studied by electron mi croscopy, is similar to one isolated earlier by other re searchers, roport Drs. G. Ne groni, R. Dourmashkin and F. C. Chesterman of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund. , Although cell-free extracts of hamster tumors are appar ently not infective for new born or adult hamsters, some virus must be present in these tumors. The researchers ex plain that these extracts in jure mouse embryo cells, and cell-free cultures from these embryo cells will again pro duce bloody lesions and tu mors in hamsters. The researchers are at tempting to relate infectivity of the cultures with the num ber and type of particles seen in an electron microscope. U.S. Cows Content, But Also Hungry Ithaca, N.Y. -(Science Service)- America's cows may be contented, but they are also hungry, researchers at the New York State College of Engineering, Cornell univer sity here, believe. Profs. J. K. Loosli and R. G. Warner have found that the raw&fA will mrw4iifa tin to five pounds more milk a day if her daily menu includes 20 pounds of good grain. Most daiimen give their cows less than 15 pounds a day. Many cows brought to the university in average condi tion, the scientists report, give 1,000 to 3,000 pounds more milk a year when their feed is increased. Bum Check Artist Was Good Painter Keene, NJI.-The hot check artist who clipped a merchant here was really an artist. A Keene grocer sold cold cuts to a man who handed him a check which had appar ently been stamped with a check protector machine. A closer and too late look showed the red and black printing of the firm's name, and the stamped amount of the check, were drawn in by an artistic hand. . The artist also painstaking ly produced, with a pin, the tiny holes with which a check protector machine pierces a check, - rm&iiam m vm mm mm w m mmrn PRICES EFFECTIVE Dee. 26-27-28-29 Limit Rights Reserved limit Rights Reserved 1 I Ke9 V 17.95 GENERAL ELECTRIC STEAM OR DRY IRON NOW ONLY 17.95 Value Si 1 Hp I W 111 TROPIC AIRE ELECTRIC Prices.
