STARS by LYN CONNELLY G ALE STORM, who plays the zany Susanna Pomeroy in the ABC-TV “The Gale Storm Show,” was born Josephine Owa- issa Cottle in Bloomington, Tex. (Owaissa is an Indian word for bluebird) . . . Gale attended ele mentary and high school in Hous ton . . . She was interested in act ing but actually didn’t have any professional ambitions until she entered Jesse Lasky’s “The Gate way to Hollywood” contest in Houston . . She was the local winner and went on to Hollywood where she won the national con test and a motion picture contract . . . Since her motion picture de but, Gale has been a steady box office draw in movies, playing musicals, dramas, horror pictures and—as she says—“dabbing at my eyes regularly as the cowboy rode off into the sunset.” Then she switched to TV, co- starring with Charles Farrell in “My Little Margie”. . . For three years and 126 performances it brought its sparkling feminine stdr to the attention of millions of fans and as a radio show it upset stalwarts that had been on the air for 20 years . . . Meanwhile, Gale was elected honorary may or of Sherman Oaks, Calif, and served for two terms . . . When she didn’t run a third time, she was succeeded by Liberace . . . Eight years ago Gale started singing lessons, displaying a beautiful lyric-soprano voice and she still wants a singing ce.reer. “If I didn’t have the intense de sire to sing well I don’t suppose I could sing a note,” she declares . . . “But I want it very badly . . . I think opera is the maximum of self-expression. What I wouldn’t give to be able to give a good per formance in ‘La Boheme’ and “Madame Butterfly”... Her voice for “pop” music is low and her real voice is lyric soprano ... “I just can’t get the two of them to gether, but I was genuinely thrilled vo sing the role of Letitia in the Gian-Carlo Menotti Opera The Old Maid and the Thief at the Los Angeles Conservatory of music last year.” (Today over 34 million peo ple in 2600 communities drink fluoridated water. A great many more places are con sidering whether or not to fluoridate. Because of this general interest, the Newber ry Mothers Clubs have ar ranged to bring a series of articles on fluoridation pre pared by Henry Helmholz, M. D., in cooperation with the South Carolina State Board of Health. Dr. Helmholz is Health Chairman of the Na tional Congress of Parents and Teachers (National PTA) and Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics, Mayo Foundation, a part of the graduate school of the University of Minne sota.—Ed.) More than half of the usual cav ities that develop in the teeth of children can be prevented. This can be done by adjusting the amount of fluoride naturally present in water supplies to the proper level. The procedure, call ed fluoridation, is relatively sim ple and inexpensive. If the children of Newberry are like youngsters in other communi ties, they receive only about a third of the fillings they need. In areas with very little fluoride in the water, the average child, by the time he reaches forty, will have lost half his teeth. There just aren’t enough dent ists to take care of all dental needs. It is estimated that the number of dentists in the United States could fill only a sixth of the cavities that form. However, fluoridation is sharp ly reducing the number of cavities in the teeth of children in 1400 communities. In addition, the same benefits are enjoyed by the chil dren in 1600 communities where close to or more than the right amount of fluoride is present nat urally in the drinking water. About 35 million people drink water containing about the right amount of fluoride. The towns pro vided with this water vary in size from 50 families to more than 4 million people. Thousands of children in com munities where the drinking water contains fluoride and in other communities where the water is lacking in fluoride have been care fully examined by physicians and dentists. Always dentists find a distinct difference in the number of cavities. The children who have been drinking fluoridated water for a number of years have less tooth decay than youngsters whose drinking water has not contained fluoride. Those whose drinking water contains fluoride have few er toothaches and fewer extrac tions and the family dental bill is lower. The benefits of drinking fluori dated water continue through middle age. In one study, men and women between the ages of 40 and 44 who had used fluoridated water from childhood had an av erage of 11 decayed, missing or filled teeth. In a city with fluor- idee-lacking water, people of the same age had more than twice as many decayed, missing or filled teeth. The number of missing teeth per person was 3 in the city which had fluoridated water, and 14 in the city where the water was lacking in fluoride. Fluoridation also brings about an important secondary benefit. By virtue of this reduction in tooth decay and lost teeth, fluor idation prevents many complica tions such as abscesses of the jaw, pain and discomfort and infections of the heart and blood stream.
