score on a one-yard run with just
1:50 remaining. His kick put it
out of reach at 29-13 and the
smell of stale championship was
building along the Tiger bench
and most assuredly among some
7,000 Big Red Mobsters on the
Tiger side of lhe field.

USE OF SNUFF
The promotion of “smokeless” tobacco products in recent years has
really increased its use. Especially by the young people, who are not in style
unless they have a worn round spot at the hip pocket.
Professional athletes have found these television commercials a good
source of additional income. These outstanding athletes are looked up to by
the young and they take the attitude that “if it’s OK for them to use it - then
it’s OK for me.” The Federal government has not as yet forced the labeling
of the product, but that does not mean that it is not harmful.
Snuff has been associated with cancer of the jaw, teeth, tongue, and other
parts of the mouth. It also has been associated with chronic peridontal
disease and loose teeth. A few years ago “they” called it a bad habit, but
now we know that it is not a “bad habit” • it becomes a true addiction.
Recently one of my teenage patients came in because he was having “gum
trouble". I could understand why. The area where he constantly kept the
tobacco • between the lip and the lower front teeth - was white and looked
like cauliflower. The gum and bone had been destroyed all across the front
of the teeth nearly to the root tips. So far as I know he hasn’t quit yet. It’s a
shame he has a terrible price to pay that will last the rest of his life.
Prepared iri the interest of better dental health. Dr. Richard Carver, Iowa

A |e are thinking of you today
Because its Christmas
. And we wish you joy,
And tomorrow
Because it's the day after Christmas .
We shall wish you joy.
Perhaps we can't tell you about it
From day to day
For you may be for away
Or we may be entangled
With the things of life
But it makes no difference.
Our thoughts and our wishes
Will be with you.
Whatever joy or success comes to you,
We shall be glad clear through the year.
