Clunked up with graphite
residue from the tapes you've
played, dirty cartridge player
heads can set up effective
sound barriers to your listening

manufacturers recommend that
they be cleaned regularly to
insure continuous fidelity and

gal) with two left hands go
about doing this'.'
On those machines that have
easily accessible player heads,
all you need is a Q-lip and a
safe chemical cleaner to swab
away the brownish accumula

use a special head-cleaning car
tridge to do the job the easy
way, by just nipping it through
your machine. And, while it

The usual effect of an entry
to a home is quite an imperson
al one, consisting as it does of a
narrow table or chest, and a
mirror. There is a vase or a
figurine and a plate for calling
cards in front of the mirror;
chairs on either side of the
table, chest or console are op
tional. If this describes your
entrance hall it badly neeids a
striking, all-over pattern on the
walls; a home, like a show,
ought to "come on strong."
A second kind of impression
an entry can give is impersonal J
to the point of being majestic.
In hails which can be described
as "foyers," either a scenic
wallpaper or separate panels
seem to be indicated. Low
benches between tall lighting
fixtures usually complete this
type of entrance.
A third type of impression is
leas standardized. We might call
it the ultra-personal approach.

Takes Over Small Pox Anti-Serum Distribution
WASHINGTON, D. C. -
The diatrtbution of Vaccinia
Immune Globulin (VIG), a
rare blood product used to
combat severe reactions bom
smallpox vaccinations, has
been turned over to U. S.
Public Health Service by the
American National Red Cross
which began the distribution
program in 1953.
In announcing the change,
Dr. Tibor J. Greenwalt, medi
cal director of the ARC Blood
Program, said over 18,000
five-milliliter vials of VIG have
been provided without charge
to physicians in this country
and throughout the world dur
ing the past 17 years.
Many of the rush calls for
the precious serum were for
children who had infected
their eyes or other parts of
their bodies after scratching
or touching their vaccina
tions, Dr. Greenwalt said.
Some of these infections were
so massive that loss of sight
and even death would have re
sulted had the serum not been
available in time.
Because of the scarcity of
VIG and the fact that it must
be given very soon after the
infection starts, the Red Cross
HOW TO GOARD AGAINST PYORRHEA
Beyond the age of 35, the
average American loses over
twice as many teeth to gum
disease as to decay.
To this jolting statistic of the
American Dental Association,
the World Health Organization
adds that in the United States,
"almost the entire adult popu
lation" is affected in some de
gree by periodontal (gum) dis
ease —comm on I y called
"pyorrhea."
One of the insidious things
about such disorders is that
they are seldom painful in the
early stages and are therefore
easily overlooked or neglected.
The first hint of pyorrhea is
usually inflamed or bleeding
gums. Later, the teeth may
become loose in their sockets,
making normal chewing almost
impossible. Finally, even with
out any defect in the teeth
themselves, they may fall out
one by one.
The causes of periodontal
disease are complicated and
not fully understood even to
day. Most recently, research
workers have discovered that
certain types of gum disease
can be transmitted from one
hamster to another. This sug
gests that pyorrhea may be
spread by an external micro
organism—possibly through
contaminated silverware or
dishes!
One sensible precaution is to
guard your family against
germs the way any safe restau
rant protects its patrons: by
washing dishes (preferably in
an automatic machine) in very
hot water spiked with a high
phosphate detergent. A high
concentration of phosphate is
important. The phosphate
component, found in brand
name detergents, contributes
materially to cutting down
germ levels, thus reducing the
possibility of cross-infection.
For the same reason, if your
date's gums look suspiciously
red, it might be best to settle
for a good-night handshake.
It's better to miss a kiss than
risk a loose tooth.
In general, regular visits to
your family doctor or dentist
will help to head off pyorrhea
or at least to reduce the dam
age. For instance, one estab
lished contributing factoi —a vi
tamin C deficiency—can be cor
rected by having your physi
cian recommend a vitamin sup
plement or a vitamin-rich diet.
Your dentist is the man to
see about rectifying other con
ditions known to be linked to
gum disease. One of these is
the formation of tartar, which
appears to provide a haven for
bacteria injurious to the gums.
Similarly,' irritations which can
blossom into pyorrhea may be
caused by teeth that do not
meet properly, are' badly

handled distribution from its
blood centers in 14 cities
throughout the United States,
with a volunteer physician
consultant In each city being
responsible for approving all
requests and advising on the
dosage.
Some 800 vials of the pro
duct also were sent to ten
foreign countries in response
to urgent requests from physi
cians, Dr. Greenwalt noted.
Since Vaccinia Immune
Globulin can only be taken
from the blood of a person re
cently vaccinated for smallpox,
the Red Gross for many years
obtained most of its supply
from young men newly re
cruited into military service, a
source considerable diminished
during the past few years by
the military's urgent need for
blood for the wounded in
Vietnam.
"For this reason, and be
cause a commercial laboratory
has now been licensed to pro
duce VIG," Dr. Greenwalt
said, "the Red Cross is relin
quishing its role in the program
and will devote its funds and
energies to increased research
aimed toward the development
of new blood products and
placed or bite against the gums.
A faulty filling also can be a
culprit. All of these conditions
can be remedied by time well
spent in the dentist's chair.
However, one of the most
effective and simplest preven
tives is proper, do-it-yourself
tooth-brushing. That's because
pyorrhea can be triggered or
aggravated by food particles
lodged between the teeth or
around the gum line. For the
best results, the World Health
Organization lists these
pointers:
• Brush regularly with a
motion that reaches into as
many crevices as possible and
stimulates the gums without
damaging them.
• Use a simple toothbrush
instead of a fancy one.
• Massage the gums with a
rubber stimulator to help keep
them healthy.
• Brush for at least three
minutes.
• Rinse the mouth after
brushing to wash out loose
food particles that might other
wise settle back into tooth
crevices.
A study of English school
children in their early teens
showed that there was 50 per
cent less gum disease among
those who brushed their teeth
regularly than among the irreg
ular brushers.
And here's a tip for the
sweet-toothed: Munching an
apple at the end of a meal will
help to clean the teeth, exer
cise the gums and control most
forms of gum disease before it
get* out of hand.

U. S. Public Health Service
Center for Disease Control in
Atlanta, Ga., which will handle
the distribution through its
quarantine offices in Miami,
Chicago, Los Angeles, New Or
leans, Jamaica, N. Y. (Kennedy
Airport), and Seattle, Wash.
Red' Cross blood centers al
ready have given more than
525 vials of VIG to those
offices, and the 14 physician
consultants awho assisted the
Red Cross in the program have
volunteered to help Public
Health Service in the same

Mrs. Dußois to
Attend Sept.

Congressman John Conyers,
Jr. (D-Mich) announced today
that the Justice Department
has reversed its policy and Is
going to allow Mrs. Shirley
G. Dußois to enter the coun
try. She will attend the dedi
cation services of the Black
Hall of Fame, September 20
in New York City. Mrs. Du-
Bois, the widow of the late
distinguished scholar Dr.
W.E.B. Dußois, was denied
permission to come to the
U. S. earlier this year to
speak at Fisk University in
Nashville, Tennessee because
the Justice Department said it
"would not be in the best
interests of the country."
Conyers stated that "justice
has been served by this rever
say in the decision. Her entry
should never have been
barred."
Although a native of Indian
apolis, Indiana, Mrs. Dußois
