A city crew, engaged In currying the aoftball diamond Monday packed up their tools and quit, leaving, the diamond surface littered with debris and piles of weeds.' When members of the Army team arrived for warm-up practice, they had to beg rakes, eto., from neighbors and spend over half an hour In raking the weeds and carting them from the diamond. ? Not a kick wus registered. No one grumbled. That is why, we like those boys from the Southern. They ure good sports. On the other hand, J. M.

Sport Potpourri K BY THE SKIPPER Whenever you see the Army, Instructors or Maintenance teams in action in the Softball League games, you'll see a group of lads who play the game for the sport that is in It.

Buy War Bonds and Stamps ' YOUR DENTAL L Q. <0 Anmican D?ut?l Auu?i?tto?, V Q. Is it advisable to use an anes thetic for drilling out the average dental cavity?? N. M. P. A, The use of a local anesthetic to prevent the pain or discomfort caused by most cavity preparations is advisable. As pointed out by Drs. M. L. Tainter and S. M. Moose, "local anesthesia (an-es-the'ze-uh) has a particularly important place in dentistry, since almost all dental procedures can be. carried out under its influence. If patients are to accept a, program of regular dental supervision, when minor pathologic processes are corrected before they progress to major defects, they must be assured that their dental visits will be pleasant and painless. Otherwise they will postpone the visit until it becomes unavoidable and the disease process has made serious inroads. For this reason, therefore, successful local anesthesia, in assuring freedom from pain, undoubtedly may be one of the most potent forces in bringing about the public health ideal of regular dental care," The normal action of the tongue, ! lip and oheek muscles helps to guide the teeth Into proper position. Any habit that interferes with the normal action of these muscles may result in irregularity of the teeth and Jaws. The slight pressure resulting from prolonged thumb or finger sucking may cause malposition of the teeth.
