Children’s Teeth
The best way to help children
have good sound teeth is to serve
a well-balanced diet of foods which
provide body building materials.
These foods are milk and milk
products, green and yellow vegeta
bles, potatoes and other vegetables
and fruit, meat, poultry, fish and
i eggs, tomatoes, oranges, grape
| fruit, bread, flour, and cereals, ei
ther whole grain or enriched, and
butter or fortified margarine. These
are called the “basic seven” food
groups. The mother's diet before
the child is bom has much to do
with the quality of teeth. The child's
1 food habits will affect them also.
I Teach children to be careful to use
1 but not abuse their teeth. In addi
tion to eating the tooth-building
foods, keeping the teeth clean is im
portant. Careful brushing of the
teeth and gums and removal of all
j food particles is very important,
i Regular inspection by a good den
tist, once or twice a year, will re
j suit in detection of conditions which
need to be improved and the dis
covery of small cavities which need
! repair. Good food and health hab
, its with the aid of a good dentist
will enable many to keep their
teeth throughout a long life.

Visual Purple
I About 80 years ago a remarkable
i purple substance was found in the
i rods of a frog's retina. A similar
( substance has been found in the hu
man eye and it may be bleached
and regenerated as rapidly as 8 or
I 10 times a second. This is called
the visual purple. Later investiga
, tors found that this substance is
bleached when exposed to light, and
that it is regenerated when kept in
the dark, but only if the retina was
;kept in contact with the still living
' cells of the retinal pigment epi
I thelium. Following the discovery
,of vitamins only 25 years ago it has
jfound that a deficiency of vitamin A
apparently retards the regeneration
of the visual purple and reduces the
.ability of the eye to adapt itself to
varying light intensities. This has
led investigators to conclude that
(the vitamins, especially vitamin A,
may bear an important relation to
the visual process. Night blindness,
when not congenital, is thought to re
; suit from the excessive bleaching of
tne visual purple, in the human eye.

65 Degrees Below Zero!
CLEVELAND, OHIO—“Better be outside than in,” comments Bea
Gay as she peers into a “cold-box” which reduces temperature to 65
degrees below zero and which makes various types of scientific test
ing possible. Miss Gay and hundreds of employees visited these labo
ratories for the first time since the start of the war. The pumps or
accessories of Pesco Products Co., Borg-Warner division here, equip
nearly every American military plane and therefore the operations of
the “cold-box” have been kept secret. These experiments will reflect
their value also in the quality of peacetime products when the war
is ended.

CAN BE BEAUTIFUL!
By BILLY (Ink Spots) KENNY
Kenny
WHILE relaxing between shows j
I glanced thru the Negro pa
pers and suddenly realized what
profound respect I hold for certain
colored newspaper men. Men like
Abe Hill and Tommy Watkins of
the AMSTERDAM NEWS. Ralph
Matthews and Levi Jolly of the
AFRO-AMERICAN. These men do a
service for the Negro people that
would take too long to explain in
this column. A service that seldom
knows just appreciation. Men such
as those I’ve just mentioned use
the great power of the press to
help better conditions for all peo
ples and not for their own selfish
motives.
The remarkable progress of the
colored American throughout the
past quarter of the century has
been stimulated primarily by his
Press. This Press has made it pos
sible for Negroes in different parts
of America to know something of
the living conditions of each other.
I firmly believe that the colored
Press has always been in some
■form, and still is, the nucleus from
which the many important Negro
organizations (that we have today)
have come to be. In my humble
opinion the Negro press is the most
powerful weapon the dark Ameri
can has or ever shall have to fight
the many evils that confront him.
And is also a means of reaching
th£ hard to reach individual who
cause us as a race untold anxiety
in our strive to better our living
conditions. Thank God for our
Negro Press!
During my last tour thru the
South I had the opportunity to visit
the lovely home of a man who held
a respected position in his com
munity, and found that something
struck me as being wrong with that
setup. I suddenly realized that the
shacks surrounding his beautiful
home afforded him no protection
whatsoever, but rather showed how
weak was his foundation of suc
cess. And I knew then more than
ever that the Negro of America’s
complete success in regard to liv
ing would come to be only when
we realize that only in numbers
can we be strong and keep preju
dice, discrimination and the many
other cowardly vices of man from
touching us. I want no castle on a
hill that I may gaze down on the
slums of the town. Rather let me
have a castle among castles so that
when the wind blows strong I may
be selfishly protected. Or when the
enemy of men and women of
tanned skin may come we in our
numbers may repel them and the
strength of our houses keep them
out.

Farm Employment
Total farm employment in the
United States in 1944 was about 7
per cent less than the average of
the period 1935-39, according to esti
mates of the Bureau of Agricul
tural Economics. During 1943 the
farms of the nation were operated
with a total farm employment 5 per
cent below the five prewar years.
This means, therefore, that the total
employment was reduced in 1944
about 2 per cent below the average
employed during 1943. In the 1935
39 period about 10,700,000 people
were engaged in farm employment
on the average. Roughly three
fourths of these were family work
ers, and about one-fourth was hired
labor. In Illinois, Indiana, Michi
gan, Ohio and ¥/isconsin about
1,475,000 were employed on the aver
age during the same period, of
whom 77 per cent were family la
borers. For 1944 the proportion of
family labor was unchanged for
the nation, but for the foregoing
states the proportion represented by
family labor had increased to 83
per cent.
