At least that is what Aristotle, great lover of truth, insisted. His theory stood un-challenged for about 19 centuries before it was finally established that male or female the adult set of teeth totalled 32! Until fairly modern times, sci-entific knowledge on the subject of teeth could fit on the head of a dentist's drill. Man's basic in-terest in his teeth and their care is centuries old. Even the cave man knew the advantages of a good set of choppers. His version of the toothpick was one of the oldest relics unearthed from pre-historic ruins in Australia. The earliest form of dental care was nothing more than re-moving food lodged between the teeth. The Neanderthal gourmet simply reached for a pointed piece of wood. Eventually he was whittling away at ivory, bone or wood to shape himself a per-sonal portable toothpick. Thus, about 3,000 years ago dental hy-giene was born. As time passed, toothpicks grew fancier and fancier. The ancient Romans fashioned them from silver and gold, while the Chinese busily molded them out of bronze. By time of the 16th century an ornate jewel encrust-ed toothpick was the very height of fashion, a far cry from the stigma of bad manners that now marks the pick. Almost as old as the once re-vered toothpick, the toothbrush has survived changing time and taste much better than its cousin. Beginning as a bundle of twigs bound together, it later compet-ed with the sponge and cloth as a means of polishing the teeth. By the 18th century the bristle brush was introduced. Soon after the first primitive toothbrush was devised, along came dentifrices. Records of them, dating back to ancient Greece, prescribed everything from charcoal, talcum and honey to powdered stones and cremat-ed mice. Dentrifices were here to stay. They were kept in anything handy around the house boxes, bottles or cans, until 1892, when the tooth paste tube was invent-ed. It quickly became the most common dispenser for dentifrices but left a lot to be desired. We have proved that our great-est home weapon against decay is brushing after every meal. Scientific evidence has shown the greatest damage accurs with-in twenty minutes after eating. Immediate brushing removes the food particles before they can be converted into decay acids. Johann Gutenberg First Man to Use Movable Type If Johann Gutenberg were to walk through our printing plant today he would be overwhelmed by the complexity of our equip-ment. Gutenberg lived 500 years ago and if you walked through his shop in Strasbourg, Germany, in the year 1445 you would be amazed to see him struggle to print a leaf of paper with mov-able type, for the first time in history. Through his development of movable type fully 47 years be-fore Columbus' frail ships dis-covered the West Indies, Johann Gutenberg started the heritage of printing as we know it today. Printing then, as today, played a vital role in helping men to communicate with man. The printed word produced on our presses conveys information and moves readers to action. In short, it helps one person talk to many for the good of all.

Play in moderation and rest when you are tired." 1. Swim only as far as you know you can. 2. Look where you are diving. Before you dive, find out about underwater obstacles and the water's depth. 3.
