Students interested in stron g
healthy teeth need not put much
stress on a nutritional diet, ac-
cording to Dr. Philip Jay of the
dental caries research laboratory
of the dental school.
Dr. Jay's theory is that the be..-
teriological aspect of tooth decay
is more pertinent in present day
research than the past emphasis
on nutritional requirements. Thi
theory is substantiated by studies
showing a low caries rate among
Europeans on st:rvation diets.
Sugar is an essential to tooth decay
that these people were not able
to get, Dr. Jay said.
Influence of Diet
Dr. Jay emphasized the fact
that the cause of dental caries
(tooth decay) is not fully estab-
Army ROT
Plans Display
For April 18
Radar Unit Will Spot
Selfridge Field Flight
Five branches of the Army
ROTC unit have planned extensive
displays for the Open House to be
held April 18 by the engineering
college.
Plans for a ground radar unit
that will demonstrate for visitors
by spotting fighter groups flown
over the area from Selfridge Field
have been made by the Air Forces,.
In addition. the air branch will
sponsor displays at Willow Run
of a turbo-jet engine in operation,
an AT-6 advanced training plane.
and a King Cobra pursuit ship.
The Air Forces has also arranged
to fly in a load of cut-away engine
training aids that might be of
interest to engineering students.
Teletypes, walkie-talkie radios,
and the combined receiver trans-
mitter SCR 193, will be operated
by Signal Corps members during
the Open House.
The Engineer Lorps will dosplay
a model of a Japanese mine, and

There is still no information
available on exactly when or how
Michigan is $270,000,000 veterans
bonus will be paid, Karl Karsian,
chief of the Ann Arbor Veterans
Counseling Center, said yesterday.
He said that veterans are get-
ting ."premature information", and
emphasized that full details will
be announced as soon as they are
known.
Karsian reported that his of-
fice has received hundreds of tel-
ephone calls from veterans ask-
ing where they can obtain "the
papers for the bonus".
The Fletcher bill, which would
establish the bonus payment sys-
tem, has passed both houses of
the State Legislature and now
awaits the governor's signature to
become law.

Water Supply
The U. S. health department,
Michigan health department and
.he University are studying the
ffect on tooth decay of domestic
water supplies. This work is being
lone in Grand Rapids where small
amounts of sodium flouride are
idded to the water supply.
The University of Illinois, Dr.
Lay said, is trying to do the same
-ort of thing we are with a mouth
wash containing ammonia, thus
changing the bacteria so that the
growth of lactobacilli is arrested.
Northwestern is using vitamin K
as it was discovered that it in-
hibits the enzyme and prevents
degradation of sugar to acid which
causes tooth decay.

Be Exhibited
Oil and water color paintings
by Ben-Zion, Russian-born ex-
pressionistic artist will be exhib-
ited from Tuesday through April
2 at the Museum of Art.
This exhibit will replace the
scheduled showing of work by Paul
Klee which has been cancelled
because of difficulty in assembling
the paintings.
Born in the Ukraine in 1897,
Ben -Zion studied Hebrew letters,
and wrote poetry and children's
fables for a time.
He began to paint seriously in
1932 and became a United States
citizen in 1936. One of the found-
ers of a group of expressionistic
painters known as "The Ten", he
achieved special fame because of
his skilled use of bold colors and
distinctive design.
Ben-Zion has works in the per-
manent collections of the New
York Museum of Modern Art and
the U.S. State Department. The
exhibit to be shown here is circu-
lated by the Bertha Schafer Gal-
lery of New York.

RED
FUND
r I .
gin March 24, the groups will
pledge funds for the purchase of
a heifer. By this plan of construc-
tive relief, two-year-old heifers
are purchased from farmers at a
cost of approximately $160. These
heifers are shipped through a rep-
utable relief agency to any area
or person in Europe designated by I
the donor.
Milk for Children
The European farmers who re-
ceive the heifers promise to give
the dairy products, especially milk.
to children and the calves to other
needy farmers. This provides them
with the opportunity of restocking
their farms.
The campus drive is part of a
national movement sponsored by
the Brethren Service Committee.
Approximately 1,440 heifers have
already been shipped out by the
national organization, and have
been received by farmers in Czech-
oslavakia, France, Greece, Bel-
guim and Poland.
French Rations Short
In stressing the importance of
the drive, Goldstein said that in-
formation about conditions in
France show that rations are very
short. Each person is allowed 10
ounces of bread a day, 5 ounces of
fat a month, 3.3 ounces of meat a
week and only one pound of sugar
a month. Milk is available only
to children under 13 years of age,
and that in small quantities.
Pledge cards were enclosed with
the letters and should be returned
to the Famine Committee with
the amount of the pledge on them.
Goldstein said.
