Thursday, August 19, 1954 By Bill Spillman All this yapping about fluoride is getting sort of old. You would think that the good old fashioned method of preventing eavities, by a sound brushing of the teeth after meals, was falling by the wayside. The fluoride subject has made friends between people who have been at each others throats for years—it has also made enemies. I heard of one case of near-fisti- cuffs over the subject. Instead of saying hello to your Neighbor, it is now common to start the day off with, “How do you feel aboot the fluoride situa- tion?” The Junior Chamber of Com- merce boys took a step in the right direction. They decided that they would hear both sides of the story. Last Wednesday nigh tat their reg- ular meeting, Dr. Delio Cobo, a dentist, was invited to give his views on the subject. Since he is one of the sponsors of fluoride, it is pretty obvious how he talked. Recent Events B THE KEY WEST CITIZEN A friend of mine gave me a re- port that was written about the experiments of a western univer- sity in which rats were given fluoridated water where the mix- ture was five parts of fluoride to one million parts water. The re- sults showed the rats that took the selution as a steady diet, lost weight and had other degenerative defects. There is no doubt that the test were honest and are fully controll- ed. However, it is recommended that one part of fluoride be put with one million parts of water for the proper amount of mixture —not five times that much as was used by the western university in their experiments. Fluoride—smaride, don’t let all this keep your children from be- ing old fashioned and being taught to brush their teeth at a very ear- ly age. Don’t wait until their teeth begin to fall out of their mouth, then say, “I wish we had fluoride in the water.” A good brushing is better than fluoride ever was. ring Back Old | “Curse Of Pharaohs” Question By RELMAN MORIN (For Hal Boyle) NEW YORK #—Remember the famous story of ‘‘the curse of the Pharaohs?” It came from the dim recesses of the tomb of Tutankhamen, a king who ruled Egypt and died at an early age about 3000 years ago. The tomb was discovered and opened in 1922. There the archae- ologists came upon a staggering profusion of gold and jewelry, fugniture, chariots, household ar- ticles, and the mummy of the young sovereign, encased in nearly a ton of solid gold. They also noted a warning en- graved on the wall—‘‘Cursed be he who touches me.” Such méssages were not unusual in thé royal tombs. They probably were put there to frighten away gtave robbers. If so, they failed, for virtually every tomb—royal, noble or common—was rifled thou- sands of years before the modern Egyptologist ever began probing into the tombs. However, less than a year after the opening of Tutankhamen’s tomb, the man who financed the expedition, Lord Carnarvon, died suddenly. The cause of death—cu- rious combination!—was recorded as pneumonia and the effects of a mosquito bite. This started the story of “the ¢urse of the Pharaohs.” It merely amuses the profession- al Egyptologist. He reminds you that the other members of the Car- Desire For Music Leads To Arrest Of “Money-Maker” TRONDHEIM, Norway (#—A crackpot counterfeiter who made more than five billion kroner in fake Norwegian currency was be- hind bars today because he wanted to make music too. Police refused to name him, say- ing he was mentally deranged and they would ask a court to commit him to a mental institution. The money-maker was arrested yesterday in the nearby village of Selbu after he mailed an order for a harmonica to an Oslo dealer in musical instruments. He en- closed a 50-kroner note from his own press. The sheriff at Selbu rounded up the culprit and also his printin, production.

And algo, that thousands of people have been “exposed” to the dire warnings, engrav2d on the walls of the tombs. Yet, a strange and tragic mis- fortune has overtaken one of the scientists connected with the dis- covery of the “solar boat,” found a few months ago beside the Grand Pyramid of Cheops. His two daughters died suddenly, within a few months of each other, while the work was in progress. Zaky Nour is keeper of antiqui- ties for the region where the boat has been found. He was one of the directors of the excavation of it. In Cairo a few weeks ago, he told me this story: “Leila, the oldest girl, went to school as usyal that day. She was nine years old and apparently in good health. During the afternoon, she suddenly developed a nose- bleed. They couldn't stop the flow. She died before sundown.” Doctors diagnosed it as a heart attack, he said. Three months later, his younger daughter, Wafaa collapsed and fell dead at play. She was six. Zaky Nour said the cause of her death is not known. She died the day before the open- ing of the cnamber holding the “solar boat.’ He said, “as a scientist, of course, I can’t believe this is any- thing but a coincidence. But there are many things we don’t know.” “Young Bess” Is Slated To Open At The Monroe “Young Bess,” one of M-G-M’s Major Technicolor productions of the year, will be shown Sunday at the Monroe Theatre, with a dis- tinguished cast of stars headed by Jean Simmons, Stewart Granger, Deborah Kerr and Charles Laugh- ton. Based on the novel by Margaret Irwin, ‘Young Bess” unfolds a dra- matic narrative of the life and love of the girl who becamé England's | Queen at the age of twenty-five. Against spectacular and colorful backgrounds of Tudor England, the story traces the childhood of the unwanted Princess whose mother had been beheaded by her father, Henry VIII, shows her as she grows up to become the foil of un- scrupulous political plotters, de- picts her impassioned love affair with handsome Thomas Seymour, Britian’s great naval hero, and concludes with the triumphant de- | feat of her enemies and her emer- gence as the young Queen who was to become one of the greatest | monarchs in English history.
