SPACE CAPSULE
A temporary Science Advisory Committee t©
advise the National Aeronautical and snace
Administration on the conduct of future space
projects has been established.
The new Committee, headed by Dr. Norman F.
Ramsey, is being formed because in the next
generation of space projects, NASA, will need
new policies and procedures and possibly new
onjfcizational arrangements to enable scient-
to participate.
Members of the committee will be distingu-
ished astronomers, biologists, physisists, and
geologists from eight universities. (AFNB Fea-
ture).
to school hi is likely t© have two er more
cavities. Thus, a pattern of decay-and-fill
-andextract is established, and before to®
many years have passed the child is a man,
and the man has joined the one in five Amer-
icans who have full dentures by a;ge 35’
Good dental health habits must begin
when your child is born-—attention to prop-
er diet, to good oral hygiene at home, to
regular dental care as soon as all the first
teeth have erupted.
Early care: not only prevents deacy but
helps to avoid those conditions which lead
to crooked teeth, faulty bite and the major
dental disorders that mean expensive and
extensive dental treatment in later life.
As your child approaches six, geod
dental habits become more important than
ever; the second set of teeth that begins
to erupt at this time is the last natural
set your child will ever have. They should,
and can, last as long as he lives.
