The wetter it was the more they
piped, and by the light of a hur-
ricane lantern I watched their
impassioned choruses issuirtg
from low and glistening leaf en

cate little things with gold-rim-
med eyes, their bodies of vaei-
ous shades of ocher and brown,
and some with camouflaging
lighter stripes resembling the
mid-ribs of dead leaves travers-
ing the center of their backs,
All had that delighted wide-
aW'ake exteression which only
-.wet and emitting frogs can have.

CALCIUM PHOSPHATE — tooth decay preventive?
for individuals and too difficult
to control in wells. However, re-
search is underway to develop
a low cost fluoride processing
device that can be adapted to
deep wells,
Some communities decline to
use fluoride-treated water. Al-
though it has proven safe, it
hasn't been available long enough
to be completely accepted, NIH
scientists explained.
Also, water supplies in some
areas once contained too much
fluoride, But a special process
has been. developed to reduce it
to the proper percentage, they
added.
So far, 36 million persons in
some 1,900 communities receive
fluoride-treated water. Another
seven million persons in another
1,900 communities drink water
which has a sufficient amount of
fluoride naturally. So only about
25 per cent of the U.S. nation's
population receives the benefits
of fluoridation.
While testing calcium phos-
phate, NTH also is trying to de-
termine how fluoride Works and
why its, best results are found
among children.
It has been determined that
persons who always drank a
proper amount of fluoride in
their water had 60 per cent
fewer cavities than those who
did not, or tsetse who started.
after they had all their adult
teeth.
'Scientists theorize that the
chemical rearranges the mole-
rules in the teeth, making them
stronger. They emphasize, how-
ever, that fluoride alone will not
stop all cavities. Regular brush-
ing, proper diet and dental
check-ups are still necessary.

to food is being tested,
The chemical is calcium phos-
phate which appears naturally
in small doses in many foods.
Scientists at the National Insti-
tutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.,
have found that increased am-
ounts prevent cavities in labora-
tory animals,
They now are trying to de-
termine if the chemical will have
the same effect on humans. The
testing ground is several board-
ing schools in North and South
Dakota. The names of the schools
are not being made public.
Half of the students are fed
phosphated bread; the other half
eat the store-bought kind. For
several years they will receive
annual dental dheck-ups to deter-
mine which group has fewer
cavities.
Should the phosphate - eating
group have consistently fewer
cavities, the chemical may sur-
pass soli= fluoride as the top
cavity preventative.
Phosphated bread, cakes and
pies could be available to all.
That would be a boon to mil-
lions now drinking unfluoridat-
ed water who are deprived of
this type of cavity prevention.
Dr. F. A. Arnold Jr., Chief of
NIH's Institute of Dental Re-
search, says that more than One-
third of the nation's population
may never receive the benefits
of fluoride-treated water.
These are the people who get
their drinking water from pri-
vate wells rather than commun-
ity water supplies. Fluoride pro-
cessing machinery is too costly
"Batts" don't necessarily live

collar of a woman's coat or strips

These terms can be baffling to
the uninitiated, but every home
owner or buyer should be fa-
Millar with them.
These are terms used by build-
ers, remodeling experts, and al-
most everyone who can hammer•
a nail to complete a 'do it your-
self' project.
Experts explain that "bates'
are rectangular sections of rock
wool enveloped in heavy-duty
paper or aluminum foil for use.
in insulating a house.
A "square" is an, area 10 feet
by 10 feet (400 square feet), a
unit of measurement used to de-
termine the amount of materials
and labor required to cover a
roof. The roof on an average
house measures approximately
20 to 25 squares and a builder
or roofer uses this yardstick to
estimate, his costs.
Mink may interest the lady
In the household but "furring"
may be much more interesting
—and a great deal less expen-
sive—to the family handy man.
"Furring" refers to the strips of
wood or metal that are applied
to walls, ceilings, or roofs to
provide even surfaces for instal-
ation of wall board, acoustical
tile, or shingles.
' These are only a few of the
more common building terms
that should be included in the
vocabulary of the handy man.
Some of the meanings of a few
commonly used building terms
follow;
Sheathing—Fibreboard or gyp-
sum, often impregnated with
asphalt, which covers the exter-
ior frame of a house.
Siding—The exterior finish of
a house, generally wood, brick,
aluminum, asphalt, or asbestos
shingling.
Framing — The wooden sup-
ports, such as studs, joists, sills,
and lintels that make up the
frameWork of a house or its
parts, such as doors, windows,
and the like.
A stud is usually a vertical
piece of wood, two by four
inches thick; joists are horizontal
beams used to support ceilings .
or floors; sills are large hori-
zontal beams upon which rest
the studs of the framework, and.
a lintel doesn't float in soup. It
is a horizontal beam over a door-
way or a window.
Dry wall—The covering over
an interior part of the framing
with wallboard, usually gypsum
board, to ensure an even finish.
Damp proofing—The applica-
tion of a water-resistant pitch
or asphalt base coating to the
outside wall of a house's founda-
tion to prevent penetration of
moisture,
The professional builder's vo-
cabulary ranges all the way from.
A (as in acrylic resins) to Z (as
zoning where local ordinances
specify certain building regula-
tions). Although the average
homeowner isn't expected to un-
derstand all the terms, he should
familiarize himself with those
that are used most cominonly.
