Career and a Hobby
CHICAGO—According to Doris
Helfenberger, careers and hobbies
mix very well — and she should
know. Before Doris was out of
high school she had become an ex
pert silversmith and her talent
was in commercial demand.
Then came the war and Doris
started out to “capture caps” Her
first was an army cap which she
donned at 19 and became a pilot
in the Civilian Air Patrol, flying
regularly with her squadron over
Illinois and Indiana.
At 22 she has just won a brand
new cap, starched and white. She
has entered first year duty as a
student nurse at Cook County Hos
pital here. Doris considers this
the first step in her serious life
work and medicine was her first
love. She plans to specialize in
anesthesiology.
There is a course for summer
credits opening at the school on
June 21st, and Edna S. Newman,
director, also announces that sev
eral scholarships are available for
students planning to enter the
September classes. Men as well as
women are welcomed in the train
ing course for nurses, and many
opportunities are open to them in
the nursing profession, especially j
at Cook County, said to be the
largest institution of its kind in
the world.
Dental Health
Prophylaxis is the medical term j
for preventive measures against i
disease. The most common forms
of dental prophylaxis are frequent j
and careful cleaning of the teeth, j
the removal of tartar, repair of
cavities to stop further decay, the
polishing of the teeth and gum
massage.
Frequent visits to a dentist are
necessary to keep the teeth and
gums healthy. Those whose teeth
are especially liable to decay need
the services of a dentist very of
ten; in some insances every two
or three months. The same is true|
of persons with soft, spongy and
diseased gums.
Periodic dental care is the only
certain safeguard against dental
disease. Decay can be checked and
pyorrhea prevented and the need
for extraction be averted, if the
small defects which bring on these
ills are treated and corrected as
they occur. Such repair usually in
volves little pain and little ex
pense. Neglect can mean much
pain and inconvenience and great
expense.
Another prophylactic den t a 1
measure which can and should be
performed as a regular routine
daily program consists of brush
ing the teeth and gums with a
good toothbrush at least twice
daily, following this procedure by
a thorough flushing of the mouth
with warm water. If the dentist
advises, dental floss may be used
to supplement the work of the
toothbrush.
The mouth should be thoroughly
rinsed after the teeth have been
brushed, particularly at bedtime,
‘PARASITE' FIGHTER PLANE
Mounted on a special dolly, the U. S. Air
Force's new "Parasite" jet-powered fighter
plane, the XF-85 (above), is ready for ground
and wind tunnel tests. Plane has no landing
gear and is designed to fit into bomb bay of
a B-36 from which all landings and take-offs
are made by means of hooking mechanism.
Craft has wing spread of 21 feet and is 15 feet
long. Wings are folded back within the bomb
bay. Odd tail assembly gives maximum flight
stability and still permits plane to fit within
the B-36 bomb bay. (AP Wirephoto)
as this will help to wash away bits
of food loosened by the brushing.
Plain warm water afford a good
rinse.
Safeguarding the general health
also has its effect on the health of
the teeth. Common sense in the
use of prophylaxis, with the ad
vice and care of a dentist, will
help insure sound teeth and a
healthy mouth.
The Territorial department of
health or your local dentist will
be glad to answer any questions
relating to this article.
