NO. 2 of a Sfftlfi
. , ! // ,
What would this old world
be like after total Atom
Bomb warfare; or do you
prefer not to wonder about it
at all? The picture of the
future is clear, however,
much clearer than most peo
ple think.
We cannot be certain that The
Bomb will destroy life on this
earth. We do know that it is
’apable of doing so! But this
much can be stated as a certainty:
Life on this earth, as we know it,
will be completely wiped out!
Calamity howling? Not at all.
On the contrary, it is supreme
optimism! This seaming paradox
is made clear by the remarkable
promises of God that destruction
of the chaotic life of this world is
only preparatory to the creation
of what the Bible calls “new
heavens and a new earth, wherein
dwelleth righteousness.” II Peter
3:13.
So the future is bright indeed,
jven in view of these prophetic
words: “Lo, the Eternal [God]
More
Than
Chaos
soon snau lay tne
earth bare and
wild, rendering it
shapeless and scat
tering its inhabi
tants: . . ..such is
the sentence oi tne
Eternal.” And these words also:
“1 beheld, and, lo, there was no
man, and all the birds of the
heavens were fled. I beheld, and,
lo, the fruitful place was a wil
derness, and all the cities thereof
were broken down at the presence
of the Lord, and by his fierce
anger.”
These startling words are in the
Bible. The first, Isaiah 24 (Mof
fett); the second, Jeremiah 4.
Bible prophecy has never, in a
single instance, failed!
When can you expect the end
of this world? Note that this
cleansing is brought about “at the
presence of the Lord.” hen
Christ Himself returns to this
earth!—as we read elsewhere also.
This is fundamental to an un
derstanding of the future: the
coming of Jesus Christ (to re
move the righteous from this
earth), and the desolation of the
earth itself “at the presence of
the Lord.” It is revealed by Je
sus Himself: Luke 17:2G-30.
But even more fundamental
to an understanding of the fu
ture is the fact of a re-creation
of this world following a period
of desolation. This may sound
strange to modern ears, but it
is gloriously certain.
Here, then, is a capsule por
trayal of the next desolat* world;
and the “world after next”—
new, re-craated:
“But the day of the
Lord will come like
a thief, on which
the heavens will
pass away with a
rush and a roar,
the elements be destroyed in the
fierce heat, and the earth and all
its works will vanish. . . . But in
accordance with His promise we
expect new heavens and a new
earth, in which righteousness
dwells.” II Peter 3:10-13 (Wey
mouth).
Tired of the perplexities of the
world today? All of us ought to
be expecting and preparing for a
new and better world. It* is the
only outcome of affairs that makes
any sense at all. It will be the
only outcome!
“And I saw a new heaven and
a new' earth: . .. and there shall
be no more death, neither sor
row, nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain: for
the former things are passed
away. And he that sat upon
the throne said, Behold, I make
all things new.. ..” Rev. 21:1-5.
And the best part of the story
is that, if you choose, you can be
there, in that new creation!

Senators Differ on
Filing Report on
MatArthur Hearings
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 — /PI —
Senators who -spent almost two
months investigating the dismissal
of Gen. Douglas MacArthur have
apparently come to an abrupt part
ing of the way over the need of a
report on their findings.
Yesterday Senator Cain (R-Washt
said flatly that he and seven other
members of the- two inquiry com
mittees, armed services and foreign
relations, have alrea ly signed a re
port.
But on Saturday Senator Russell
(D-Ga>, who ran the 2.000,000-word
hearings, replated what he said be
fore—that he thinks no report is
; needed.
I However, Russell told a reporter
! lie would call a meeting of the joint
committee soon to make a final
1 decision.
Cain, appearing on an NBC telc
; vision show, did not identify the
Senators who he said he joined in
his report.
It was learned early last month
that Cain was working on a prelim
inary report blasting President Tru
man for firing the Far East com
mander and declaring that Mnc
Arthrr's Korean war program was
"the only positive program” for win
ning the war.
He’s Uruter Cora!

Juneau Health
(enter Needs Told
By Mrs. Bogue
Money, and a place in the plan
ning of a city program are the
needs of the Juneau Health Cen
ter, and every member of the Bus
iness and Professional Women's
Club who heard Mrs. Manihild
Bogue talk at the meeting of the
club Monday noon at the Baran
of, was ready to support a city
health program.
Mrs. Bogue, supervisor of the
local health center, told the club
of the accomplishments of the
health center with its limited
funds and explained the need of
more money to cover costs of
maintaining a Juneau health pro
gram.
Minimum need for maintenance
of the center is $23,000 a year,
Mrs. Bogue said.
“The Alaska Department ot
Health last year spent $20,98.') for
the services provided by the Jun
eau Health Center,” Mrs. Bague
explained.
“But we need more money, and
due to the emergency of building
a new city hall and our temporary
move into new quarters, the city
has no funds to meet some of our
urgent needs,” Mrs. Bogue told the
club.
The center provides the city, the
supervisor said, with communic
able disease, tuberculosis and ve
nereal disease controls; maternity
service, infant pre-school service,
school care of sick, crippled child
ren's service and health education.
Cases handled during the year
rotaled 1,834. Of this number there
were 1,219 home visits, she said.
The immunization and tubercu
losis programs accounted for the
largest number of cases handled.
She gave the following figures:
Immunizations provided: small
pox, 510; diphtheria, 358; whoop
ing cough, 254 and tctar^is, 254.
Services given in the control of
tuberculosis included 226 home
nursing visits; 147 office nursing
visits; 573 chest X-rays taken;
maternity nursing visits, 174, of
fice nursing, 16.
Needs or Center
Needs of the Health Center? In
answer, Mrs. Bogue said “money”
first of all. Just now, with funds
depleted by the temporary move
of the Health Center, money for
payments of a $700 plumbing and
carpentry bill is needed and sup
plies are required.
“The Kiwanis Club painted our
rooms for us—and that was a tre
mendous help,” she said. Money
is also needed for payment of a
weekly cleaning woman — “the
nurses are doing the cleaning, and
we are already over-worked with
our duties as nurses," Mrs. Bogue
said.
Community help has been pro
vided for the Juneau Health Cen
ter in the immunization programs
and the TB mass x-ray program
and “without volunteer aid, the
Health Center could not possibly
have taken care of th% hundreds
that went through our offices for
immunization and x-rays,” Mrs.
Bogue explained.
She also urged the clubwomen
to partake in the mass x-ray TB
programs, and assured them of
her appreciation of the volunteer
assistance that any may have
given.
Mrs. Mavcra Morgan, vice pres
ident of the Business and Profes
sional Women presided at the
meeting and the program was ar
ranged by Miss Ruth Lingley.
Guests at luncheon were Mrs.
Walter Scott, Mrs. Lyon, Mrs.
Helen Keenan, Mrs. Kitty Gare
and Miss Amity Porter.

Face Needn't Sag
When You've Got 'Store
Teeth/ Explains Dentist
Dr. Churles S. Ballard of Seattle,
one of the outstanding authorities
n the country on artificial dent
ures, gave a clinical demonstration
and lecture at the office of Dr.
Joyce D. Smith here yesterday as
part of the Alaska Dental Society
convention.
In order to preserve an individ
ual's faciei contour for the wear
ing of false teeth, Doctor Ballard
makes records of the profile and
natural teeth before extraction.
Through these records it is always
possible to build back the face to
.Is original contour, he explained.
Jaw Movement
He stressed the correct relation
ship of the upper and lower den
tal plates ■ in connection with jaw
movement to produce proper oc
clusion. His demonstration was
made on J. W. Moeller of Juneau
during the course of illustrating
the various steps.
Doctor Ballard, who has' spent
20 years in research on denture
base materials, said today:
“The perfect denture base has
not yet been found, but research
is going forward constantly;
however, plastics now being used
are satisfactory when properly
cured,
"It is my conclusion that por
celain teeth for dentures are bet
ter than plastic teeth.’’
Partial Plates
This afternoon Doctor Ballard
demonstrated the application of
various types of partial plates
which preserve t h e remaining
teeth.
He said that it was “most
gratifying” to demonstrate and
lecture to the Alaskan group be
cause of their deep interest and
perfect attention throughout
the long sessions.
Selective Grinding
Dr. Arthur B. MacWhinnie of
Seattle discussed occlusion, which
is regarded as a great step to
ward preventing pyorrhea. Occlu
sion is selective grinding of teeth
in a manner as to distribute the
chewing load more evenly, he ex
plained.
“Seventy per cent of the people
need this,” MacWhinnie said. "Ev
en distribution preserves the bony
structure of the jaws supporting
the teeth and deters softening
which causes teeth to loosen. It
is like the meshing of mechanical
gears in a sense, and is important
ior both natural and artificial
teeth.”
Dr. Robert E. Wheatley of Sitka,
held a clinic this morning on the
use of elastic materials ih making
impressions of teeth for the prep
aration of dental inlays and
bridgework.
“This technique has been per
fected during the past few years
by Dr. Morris Thompson of Los
Angeles. I feel that it is more
accurate and makes for less time
in the chair by the patient,” he
said.
Doctor Wheatley is one of the
few dentists in Alaska who use
the technique.
