When we look at the awful
crime wave that is sweeping
over America today, don’t you
as a Christian feel that we need
to pray that America might be
saved? Not that America might
join the church, and be faithful
to the church program. But pray
that America might be saved,
and carry out the commission
that Jesus Christ commands us
to carry out. I have not found
in the Bible where Christ took
from the old and poor in order
that he might raise the salary of
his ministers, have you?

After six days of bloody riots
in Los Angeles by thousands of
young Negro hodlums, in a so-
called freedom march, 33 were
killed and 600 wounded. These
hoodlums threw rocks through
show windows and the merchan-
dise was loaded on trucks and
hauled off in broad daylight.
Then the buildings were set on
fire and more than $175 million
loss was caused by fire alone.
Rocks were thrown through
cars going down the streets and
a number of cars were turned
over and burned in the streets.
This happened in America by
Martin Luther King's non-vio-
lent Freedom Marchers. Presi-
dent Johnson says these things
will not be tolerated in this
country. Yet they are happen-
ing. It will be interesting td
see what President Johnson does
to see that it does not happen
again.
When law and order cannot
be maintained by Government
forces it is commonplace to be
told that we are living in an
irreligious, even a notoriously
sacrilegious age. A good case
can readily be made for this
contention. Of course we have
those who will point to the in-
crease in church membership
and argue that we are more re-
ligious than in any other age.
However, we must remember
that belonging to a church does
not make us Christians. Christ
alone can do this.

AUSTIN,—The teeth of Amer-
icans contain at least one billion
cavities, each a potential source
of toothache, dental authorities
now estimate. They say tooth
decay is so widespread that it in-
volves 95 of every 100 persons
and is still increasing.
A virtually incurable chronic
disease which must be prevented
if it is to be conquered at all,
tooth decay is a particular neme-
sis of elementary school-age
youngsters although all ages are
vulnerable to its ravaging pain.
Children are said to develop
cavities at about the same ratio
as do adults—approximately one
per child per year. But scholarly
surveys show that whereas one-

Prof. Marvin C. Renfroe has
accepted a position in the Fagen
School and will leave next week,
for his new job. He will live 30
miles from El Paso.
third of the adult need for fillings
is being met, only one-fifth of
the cavities in children's teeth are
being repaired.
The reason, Texas Health De-
partment dental officials specu-
late, is that so many parents cling
to the totally false notion that
so-called “baby teeth" are unim-
portant because they are tempo-
rary. The frequent result is that
good dental health for children is
still a relatively scarce commod-
ity.
In an attempt to reverse the
trend toward almost universally
poor dental health among young-
sters—particularly in underpriv-
ileged homes—the dental division
of the Texas State Department of
Health gives financial and edu-
cational support to dental clinics
in selected local health depart-
ments around the State.
The addition of fluoride in
carefully controlled amounts to
public water supplies is known
by dental researchers to be an
efficient deterrent to dental de
cay. The State Board of Health
has reaffirmed i t s belief that
fluoridation is safe and effective,
and recommended that local
communities consider the prac
tice wherever applicable and
practicable.
There is one positive step all
parents can take to avoid the fate
of toothlessness among their
children, dental scientists agree.
It's a simple step, requiring only
that youngsters be taken to a
dentist for tooth and gum in-
spection before being enrolled in
school each fall.
Before the visit is over, the
dentist will have tutored the
youngster in good dental hy-
giene at home, hoping the habits
will take hold and last into adult-
hood.
When enough children have
received such instruction, and
make it a part of their daily
lives, the blight of tooth decay
nay slowly fade from the Amer-
ican scene.

Game Wardens
Have Full Lives
This Time of Year
By W. R. LONG
State Parks & Wildlife Dept.
A Texas game warden, the law
enforcement gears of the Parks
& Wildlife Department, begins
peak activity during this time of
year. Last year’s!' hunting li-
censes expire on August 31, and
the new ones due on September
I usher in the north zone* mourn-
ing dove season, followed close-
ly by the experimental teal duck
shoot beginning on September
4. The south zone dove season
opens September 25, and the Rio
Grande Valley - West Texas
whitewing dove season has the
first two of the 4-day open sea-
son on September 4 and 5, with
the last two days on September
II and 12.
Dove and quail census lines
are being run this time of year,
and results for programs from
outdoor-minded groups begin to
accelerate.
'Hiere is no set working hours,
but “can to can’t” is the rule,
and night work is the accepted
ritual. Quail hunters are perk-
ing up their ears and shining
up their dogs; deer hunters are
sighting rifles and buying acces-
sories and asking questions.
This is the time when hunters’
wives begin to look at husbands
with raised eyebrows, and hunt-
ers begin using soft soap until
.their wives can’t see for the suds.
It’s a busy time of year, the
prelude to many long days and
cold nights in the woods, but a
warming time, too, because
friendships are made or renewed,
and because 95% of the hunters
are sportsmen in every sense of
the word.
