FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1951 THE NEWBERRY SUN The officials of the County of Newberry, together with its employees wish to commend the Kendall com pany upon completion of its new plant. The Kendall organization is a decided asset to our county. The taxes it pays helps to run the county. The employment it provides for hundreds of people creates other taxpayers. Thus the county is double beneficiary from the Kendall company. We pledge our co-operation and extend good wishes to the company management, the overseers and the employees. County of Newberry “WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED” \ The expanded Oakland mill is just “what the doctor ordered” to give new life to our economic body. Many additional workers are already earning good wages and buying the things they need and want. NEWBERRY will turn out in large numbers Tues day and Wednesday for the big open house event Their attendance will be in appreciation of the new mill, but they will also profit by seeing a complex manufactur ing process from raw cotton to the finished product All of us here at Gilder & Weeks extend best wishes. GILDER & WEEKS “The Rexall Stores” New Program for Alcoholic* Based on Use of Vitamins Alcoholism Is like many other diseases, unwanted but as yet un checked. But for the alcoholics who are psychologically ready to re turn to normal living habits, a new development announced today holds the brightest hope offeree perhaps in a generation Vitamins, one of the most in tricate and challenging of the bn chemists* nutritional discoveries are the basis of the new progran for alcoholics. In a book, “Nutritioi and Alcoholism,” Roger J. Wil liams, director of the University oi Texas Biochemical Institute, re ports on the use of nutritional sup plements—certain combinations oi vitamins—which have been used successfully in the treatment of people suffering from an uncon trollable desire for alcohol. Concerning Dr. Williams' dis covery, A. J. Carlson, physiologist of tile University of Chicago and recently president of Research Council on Alcoholism, says, in an introduction, “In my opinion, he has opened a new and important gate to tiie solution of one of the serious problems of mankind." Dr. Williams provides in his book, which is published by the University of Oklahoma Press, the vitamins and the respective quan tities of them needed as a daily specific diet against alcoholic ad- diction. The results achieved in ex periments with both animals and ‘men may, with further clinical study, prove the basic cause of al coholism. He says of his results that they have been "successful in many oases and complete cures in some instances.*' The method is simple but should be administered only by a physician, since each in dividual case requires separate diagnosis. ■ .. Il * Study of Bacteria \i Held Important to Future Agoe Bacteriological advances in the next fifty years can play as im portant a role as atomic energy in helping to aolve some of the world's most pressing problems, a Univer sity of Michigan doctor predicts. Future developments in the study of bacteria may even discover a method for utilizing the sun’a en ergy, Dr. Walter J. Nungester of the University’s Medical School Department of Bacteriology told a meeting of fellow scientists. Dr. Nungester outlined some of the distinguished findings of past research and admitted that he was doing some *'crystal ball gazing" regarding the future. "Greater knowledge of bacterial activity will lead to methods for in creasing the world’s food supply," the U-M scientist forecast. He explained that research by soil microbiologists will help to teach the world how to increaae the fertility of the soil and how to get more food from animals. In the prevention and treatment i of disease, Dr. Nungester proph esied that continuing efforts will develop a safe and effective chem ical agent for conquering tuber culosis. Research will also reveal the causes and suitable forms of treatment for many present little understood infectious diseases such as the "common cold," he added. Some of the other problems that Dr. Nungester indicated further re search might find answers to are: 1) ways to more effectively store and preserve food; 2) prevention of rust due to bacterial causes; t) control of fungi that rot wood; 4) treatment of molds that destroy fabrics; and 5) a method for deal ing with microbes that play a part in barnacle formation on ships' hulls. Survey of Dental Manpower Reeommended by Editorial A reexamination of the tradition al manpower ratio of two dentists for each 1,000 men in the armed forces in order to protect the dental health of the nation has been rec ommended in The Journal of the American Dental Association Citing anticipated increased de mands on dental manpower to meet military, civil defense -and civilian population requirements, a Journal editorial quoted a report of the Healfh Resources Advisory Com mittee of the National Security Re sources Board which warned of a serious threat to the health and welfare of our people." Hie report also questioned the ratio at two dentists for each 1,000 military personnel as "a perma nent minimum necessity" and fur ther questioned "that there are sufficient dentists available to sup ply these needs without serious 'disruption of other essential cate- gorles." "Whether this is an equitable ratio no one, Including experienced military officials, now knows," the editorial said. "Perhaps an unbiased study will disclose that, by limiting dental officers' assignments to profession al duties, curtailing their service to military dependents and relieving them of administrative responsibili ties not connected with their pro fessional calling, the dental man power requirements of the military services could be reduced without lowering the quality or quantity of service." The editorial added: "Certainly the dental needs of the military must be thoroughly met. So, too, must the dental needs of those on the home front. To accomplish this dual purpose with the limited dental manpower avail able will require the closest co operation between federal authori- ties and Association leaders." Guard Men Gather At Myrtle Beach The National Guard Associa- vides a means of working to gether on details where the views of many officers will be bene ficial. The Association also pro vides a liaison with the National Guard Association of the United States and in such capacity has been an aid many times in get ting legislation before the Con gress that is needed to strength en or to add benefits to the Na tional Guard. Entering into the discussion of the busines session will be mat ters that are. expected to be pre sented at the National Associa tion meeting which wil be held at the Mayflower Hotel. Wash ington, D. C., October 22-24. This state will send 11 delegates head ed by General Border, Henagan, and Godfrey. The meeting will adjourn at 12:30 P. M. Sunday. Finish Given Osrefel Because of the important part the finish on an automobile plays in its sales appeal, special em phasis is placed on the quality of that finish and on the actual fin ishing operation. Production fin ishing is carried out with a high order of efficiency in automobile plants. In one large organisation, one tenth of tiie employees are en gaged in the processes. First comet the prefinishing cleaning, when all rust, grease and dirt must be com pletely removed. Next, eomee a treatment to prevent the spreading of rust in the event that the paint finish is damaged in service. Be fore the final finishing operations are begun, there is a “blow-off" operation. In this, compressed air is used to drive off any remaining moisture that is trapped in seams and screw holes. The work is th«p completely dried, either by an in direct gas-fired oven or by infra red lamps. Then it is ready for finishing. f lnvlslbl« Hotfoot’ Plague Aetlvo During Summertime "Oh, my aching feet" is a com mon year-round cry, but with the onset of hot summer weather it becomes a national lament. A re cent health survey revealed that four out of every five persons are footsore during this time of the year, with "invisible hotfoot" lead ing the list. Millions of people know how it feels: At its mildest an annoying irritation; at worst, a burning pain that makes work and play equally agonizing, and often blossoms forth into a rip-roaring case of athlete’s foot or an even worse infection. According to medical authorities, heat and humidity are only con tributing factors to "invisible hot foot". The main reason it blossoms in summer is that many people are especially careless about their foot wear during this time of the year. For play and sports activities, they often wear shoes whose soles do not permit their feet to breathe; and then they make the mistake of wearing the same type at footwear for walking, working, shopping, etc. Feet thus do not get their re quired quota of cooling air, and cannot pass off heat and perspira tion, as they would through the tiny interlaced fibers of leather soles. As a result, a "slow bum” sets in—easiest thing in the world to spread from feet to dlposition and good looks. What's good for our health isn't always pleasant to take, but in footwear there is no bad-tasting medicine. Doctors recommend leather soles to keep foot health up to par. Here is one health meas ure that's easy to take, because it means having a pair of feet that enjoy the utmost in coolness and comfort through the doggiest dog- days of summer. Our Busy Teachers The average classroom teacher in the nation’s schools works a 43-hour week, according to a study re leased by the National Education Association. The report, entitled "Teaching Load In 1950," is a breakdown on how the classroom teacher uses his time and how he thinks the teaching load situation can be improved. The study, con ducted by the NEA Research Di vision^ shows that a teacher’s work day is not over when the dismissal bell rings at the end of the school day. The average teacher spends a little more than half of his work ing time in actual class instruc tion of pupils. Correcting papers, class preparation, supervising study halls, monitoring, making out rec ords and sponsoring school activi ties take up the remainder of his working hours. tion of South Carolina will con vene at the Ocean Forest Hotel, Myrtle eBach, S.

The association has long been the medium through which all South Carolina Guard Officers get together. It has been the custom to have some outstanding military leader to bring the fea ture address, and in General Pax ton, a treat is in store. The business part of the session con sists of discussing and voting on matters brought before the association that will benefit the Guard. A resolutions committee will bring before the officers mat ters of study during the past year in which action has been recom mended. The association pro- MR8. CARPENTER SPENDS WEEK IN N. Y. ON BUYING TRIP Mrs. E. A. Carpenter returned to her home on Calhoun street over the weekend after spending a week in New York, buying fall and winter merchandise for Car penter’s store.

Fossils found at home can tell you a great deal about the earth some hun dreds of millions of years ago. These fossils probably aren’t the remains of dinosaurs or of large mammals, but they are just as useful in telling what the earth was like in this region 200 million years ago, and also in telling what is be neath the surface now. Some of these fossils may be only a tenth of an inch in diameter but when placed under the microscope will tell their story.. And since these fossils may be a clue to the strata that lie beneath the surface, they may also be a clue to the location of deposits of coal or oil Besting the Borer European corn borer, the peat that has been costing Middleweet- ern corn growers millions of dollars annually, may meet its match in a new organic phosphorus insecticide tested this past year by Illinois Na tural History Survey, working in cooperation with Illinois c a oners. The new weapon against the borers, EPN-300 Insecticide, developed through Du Pont research work, was tested during 1950 and showed considerable promise over other new insecticides. It was reported, for example, to give an average of twice the residual protection at one of the newer organic phosphates in use for controlling the oo* borer during the pact two j' The Hundreds Of Legionnaire* The County Over V Extend # Through Post 24 Very Best Wishes To The Kendall Organization And Its Employees AMERICAN LEGION POST 24 Newberry El
