Prosthetic Lab
Renovation Is
0 Now Complete
In keeping with the continued
policy of constant improvement of
the post dental facilities the
Prosthetic Laboratory was recent
ly renovated.
Located in Building 3317 the
laboratory is now equipped with
the latest equipment and facilities
to make the work easier for the
dentists the dental technicians
and the patients according to Col.
Walter H. Becker Dental Chief.
The prosthetic laboratory treats
military personnel who need den
tures and also makes and in
stalls the new dentures.
Col. Becker said that work
on the laboratory renovation
took about three months. The
work was done by volunteer
labor with an assist by two
men of the 17th Engineer Ba-
talion 2d Armored Division.
The work was supervised by
the post engineers who ^ilso fur
nished the materials he added.
Col. Becker said renovation
work in the laboratory consisted
of painting the walls cover
ing pipes the laying of a new
floor and the installation of air
conditioning and lights.
The only outside labor was
iA| done in laying the new floor
VP and the installation of the air-
conditioning and lights he
commented.
A reception room was also
built he said. He explained that
before the work was started the
laboratory and reception room
were all combined.
In talking of the laboratory'
work Col. Becker said that the
dentists treat approximately 330
patients a month.
He said that past exper
ience has shown that approx
imately 20 per cent of the
military personnel need to
have new dentures before they
can qualify for their new as
signments especially when
they are being sent overseas.
During a working day dentists
treat about 20 patients and also
make about the same number of
dentures.
Often the dentists are required
to "rebuild" a person's mouth
so that his dentures will fit prop
erly.
All of the work in making
the new dentures is done here
except for the metal forms
in which the new teeth are
placed. That work is done at
Fort Sam Houston Central
Dental laboratory.
Lt. Col. Harold L. Naegelic is
in charge of the prosthetic lab
oratory and SFC L. J. Ponder is
NCO-in-charge. There are also two
officers 13 enlisted men and four
civilians.
Col. Becker said that all of the
people working in the laboratory
have been
school-trained
The certificates were for their
participation in an Honest John
rocket demonstration in Waco
Aug. 13-17 and were presented
at a battery formation by Lt.
Col. Andrew C. Anderson bat

Cats Curses Cures
Brew Friday Fright
To the superstitious the black
est of all days is Friday the
13th—and here it comes again in
November.
It is absolutely fatal to do cer
tain things on that day of days
including eating drinking walk
ing riding sitting standing and
talking. Other than that you may
safely go about your business
as usual.
interesting phenomena and
many times downright amus
ing. Even more so are the
counter-actions for the super
stitions. Every curse has at
tached to it some action one
may fulfill which offsets the
fatal and bad omens.
For instance if you put a
shoe the wrong foot in the
morning you're in for more than
cramped toes—unless you know
the proper antidote. Just wear
your shoes in this reversed fash
ion all day. Then when you pre
pare to retire at night bite off
both shoe laces with your teeth
(people with false choppers are
allowed to use a dull razor blade.
Boil these pieces of string into
soup adding only onions and
salt for body eat this concoc
tion and bury the pan in which
it was cooked behind a crumbl
ing outhouse. The curse is then
broken.
Never sing when you are
eating. If you do you must
immediately turn your plate
upside down no matter what
it contains. The only repercus
sion from this action Is that
someone may demand pay
ment for the mess..
No matter bad luck has been
averted.
Many people have shuddered
with righteous fear when a black
cat ambled across their path.
However had they known the
cure they wouldn't have wasted
a single goose pimple. All they
had to do is catch the cat mate
it with a white feline producing
grey kittens. These kittens must
be given to the first person en
countered driving a team of oxen.
Perhaps this cure should be more
thoroughly studied as it appears
to be a little out-dated.

Double-Twins
Cadre of Company C 51st In
fantry 2d Armored Division are
seeing double now.
The cause of this sight problem
is Edwin and Elwood McDilda
identical twins who are now tak
ing Advanced Individual Training
with the unit.
The twins have their problems
also. They have been accused of
going through the chow line twice
in the same meal and trying to
draw double pay among other
mixups. However being twins
does have its advantages. When
someone asks one of the twins
which one did something they in
nocently point at the other and
who can tell which one is telling
the truth?
