Newswben recently ran a fea-
ture article on foreign travel by
American citizens. This year all
than any other foreign com-
modity.
The big jet aircraft, by estab-
lishing new standards of speed
and comfort, have captured the
records are being broken, and , travelers’ immagination, and are
there's every liklihood that new
record after new record will be
set in the years immediately
ahead. As of now, we actually

the primary reason for the dra-
matic rise in tourism. And these
jets are doing more than just
moving masses of people. An of-
ficial of the U. S. Bureau of
Foreign Commerce observes that
there is a trend to travel off
the beaten path, facilitated by
the jets, and that this “indi-
cates a new sophistication of
American tourists.” An a spokes-
man for a travel association has
touched On an extremely im-
portant point. In his words,
“Until recently the principal
draw has been to see new
places. But I think now the
trend is to meet new faces as
people try for a better under-
standing of their neighbors.”

Care For Your
Children’s
Teeth
There’s a one to five chance
your youngster needs a major
teeth straightening job, since an
estimated one-fifth of the na-
tion’s children suffer from
“malocclusion,” or improper
alignment of teeth.
A generation ago, parents of
young children with teeth which
did not meet properly were gen-
erally advised to “let them alone
and nature will correct the sit-
uation.”
Today we know better. Mal-
occlusion is ai condition to he
corrected by a dental specialist
known as an “orthodontist.” Na-
ture by herself is a very poor
straightener of crooked teeth.
Although the public is just
now becoming aware of the
health significance of maloc-
clusion, experience has taught
dentists that crooked teeth con-
tribute to decay, faulty speech
and malnutrition. Ono of the
worst results of malocclusion is
the psychological stress borne
by a child* singled out for ridi-
cule by his friends because of
“buck teeth.”
A child with facial deformities
such as those caused by mis-
shapen teeth may develop traits
of indecision and begin to doubt
his ability to cope with problems
in his enviroment, psycholo-
gists say.
What causes teeth to erupt ir-
regularly? Dentists agree that
heredity is probably one im-
portant cause. Another is persis-
tent thumbsucking and abnor-
mal pressures against the jaw.
Living bone, contrary to popular
thought, is not always hard and
unyielding. The entire jaw
structure can be molded by gen-
tle, persistent pressure.
In the case of thumbsucking,
dentists believe that if the habit
can be broken before age 5,
there is a good chance the teeth
may return to normal position
without harmful effects.
Another cause of malocclusion
is prolonged retention of baby
teeth. Permanent teeth which
follow are then prevented from
arranging themselves properly.
On the other hand, when pri-
mary teeth are lost too early,
adjoining teeth may tend to tip
anfa “migrate,” crowding into
spaces where permanent teeth
should erupt.
There are different methods of
bringing teeth into proper align-
ment. Sometimes it may be nec-
essary to extract teeth to make
room, In some casts a plastic or
wire appliance may be fitted to
the teeth-to guide them into po-
sition by pressure.
Whatever the method, it is
calculated to help the young-
ster avoid the fate ol a “buck
tooth.”
Farmers Reminded
Of Child
Labor Law
Farmers who hire workers for
harvesting fall crops were re-
minded that the Federal Fair
Labor Standards Act sets a 16-
year age minimum for the em-
ployment of children in agricul-
ture during school hours.
Tlie reminder came from Re-
gional Director William J. Rog-
ers of the U. S. Department of
Labor’s Wage and Hour and
Public Contracts Division here,
the agency which administers
this la,w.
“Today and in the foreseeable
future, the need for youngsters
to meet even higher educational
standards is beyond question,”
he said. “The' children’s chance
for success in later years can
depend on whether he enrolls in
school this fail.”
Mr. Rogers pointed out that
children may lawfully work on
farms before and after school
hours or on weekends, but that
their place is in the classroom
when school is in session in the
school district where the child
is currently living.
“The law protects the chil-
dren of migratory workers as
well as local children,” he said.
“The only exception to the lav/
is the child working exclusively
for his parents or guardian.”
An age certificate showing
that the youngster is at least
16 is the best protection the
farmer can have against inad-
vertent violation. In Texas, these
certificates are available, as a
public service, from local Texas
Employment Commission offi-
cers.
He added that the Federal
child labor law applies to farm-
ers who engage in interstate
commerce or ship their products
in interstate commerce, either
directly or to firms who ship
them across State lines in their
original form or as an ingredient
of another product.

Rural Traffic
Accidents Total
22 During July
Waco — Sergeant Howard
Smith, Texas Highway Patrol
supervisor for McLennan Coun-
ty, released this county’s rural
traffic accident summary for
the month of July, 1960.
The Highway Patrol in this
county investigated a total of
22 rural accidents, 6 of these
rural crashes resulting in per-
sonal injury and 16 resulting in
scions property damage. There
were no rural fatal accidents in
McLennan County in July, and
there had not been one since
April, 1860.
As a result of the 22 crashes in
iJuly, lu persons were injured
(A weekly feature of the Heal- • ,ind t;h, combincd pl.opcrty
th Education Division, State. damage amounted to $26.233.00.
Health Department.) For the {irsj. 7 months of 1960,
McLennan County has record-
ed a total of 208 rural crashes
that took the lives of 3 persons,
injured 102 more and amounted
to $144,653.00 worth of property
damage.
For tire same period of 1959,
wo recorded a total of 252
crashes that took the lives of
9 persons, injured 132, and the
total property damage amount-
ing to $156,541.00.
Sgt. Smith pointed out that
we have a healthy decrease in
in all areas of our rural traffic
problem. “Our total number of
accidents are down, number of
fatal accidents are down, less
people were injured and even
the property damage shows a
decrease,” the Patrol Sergeant
said.
A decrease like this just does
not happen, Sgt. Smith contin-
ued Wp think we can safely at-
tribute the: saving of 6 human
lives so far this year to more
and better rural police traffic
supervision, continuing support
from the Traffic Courts, and a
better awareness of traffic haz-
ards on the part of the motoring
public.
“We in thei Department of
Public Safety urge you to as-
sist us in all of these areas so
that we may continue to save
the most precious thing in the
world — HUMAN LIFE,” Sgt.
Smith concluded.
One of the smallest state is
Delaware, but it’s doing big
things for driver safety. Dela-
ware now issues a “safety” li-
cense plate to drivers. The plates
use a material to make them
visible in headlights from as for
as 2000 feet away. They are the
driver’s insurance against the
rear-end1 collision. . . which has
been increasingly common in
recent years.
Four of our 50 states are of-
ficially classed as common-
wealths — Mass., Penna., Vir-
ginia and Kentucky.

As she skips back to

college days seem
far. far in the future.
But the years will
slip by fast between
now and then, and
before you know it,
she will be ready to
pack up and go!
The important question
(to face NOW) is: “When
she is ready for college,
will you be ready with
adequate funds to pay the
cost?” By looking ahead,
planning ahead and sav-
ing ahead, you can make
the answer a great big
“YES!” Let us show you
how a modest amount
deposited regularly in your

do it.
