Your Dental Health
By DR. JOSEPH G. CHUDZINSKI, Dentll Officer
Fluoridation has been cal·
led safe and effective by the
nation's leading health agen·
cies. Yet many communities
have failed to adopt the mea·
sure. Why?
Peter C. Goulding, Director
of Public Information for the
American Dental Association,
Hid recently:
"Fluoridation loses at the
ballot box becuase of two
reasons. First, if you scream
the word 'poison' loud enough
and long enough, you will
finally plant a doubt in the
voting public's mind. Second,
no one has ever died of dental
decay.
"When voters are in doubt,
and it is not a life and death
matter, they will vote on the
side of caution. They will for·
get the fact that there are
250,000 physicians and 100,000
dentists in this nation who
support fluoridation."
Goulding said that the main
opposition to fluoridation has
come from some religious
groups, health food faddists,
certain medical practitioners
and political extremists groups.
He emphasized that some of
the opponents of the measure
are quite sincere in their op·
position and that "not all of
the opponents are food fad·
dists or in the ultra·right
political wing-but most of
them are."
Some have gone so far as
to charge that fluoridation is
a communist plot to poison the
water supply.
Robert F. Kennedy, when
serving as Attorney General,
commented:
"Such charges not only ig·
nore the facts and respected
medical opinion, but they do
great harm. Such irrational and
emotional protests poi son
people's minds against the
facts and against an important
safeguard to public healtb."
Some charge that not enough
is known of the safety of
fluoridation, but Dr. Albart
Sabin, discover of the Sabin
polio vaccine, convnents:
"In some parts of tbe United
States, people bave been drink·
ing water which naturally con·
tains one to two parts of
fluoride per million all their
lives without any harmful
effect, but with definite evi·
dence of decreased prevalence
of dental caries (decay)."
Some charge that it is social·
bed medicine, yet the Ameri-
can Dental Association and the
American Medical Association
strongly support it.
Joining in this support are
the American Association for
the Advancement of Science,
the American Federation of
Labor, the American Academy
of Pediatrics, and such men as
former President Eisenhower,
the late President Kennedy,
and the scientific community
throughout the nation.
In spite of such support,
there are 18,000 communities
which have failed to fluoridate,
and 40 million American child·
ren are denied tbe benefits of
this proven public bealth
measure.
TO RECEIVE KENNEDY PLAQUE-In preparation for
ceremonies Monday, Nov. 22, the big rock wal lowered into
place at Mich Lab's main entrance last Monday, Nov. 1S.
Capt. John I. Hardy, ComNOTS and Dr. W.B. McLean,
Tech. Oir., will officiate as bronze plaque commemorating
the late President John F. KennedY'1 visit here on June 7,
1963, is dedicated on the second anniversary of his death.
Plaque was prepared by Charles Nardone, formerly head
of Tech. Information Div.'s Graphic Arts Br., now at Naval
Electronics lab. All those interested are invited to attend
dedication It 11:15 a.m. MondlY.
Retirees Annuity
Deadline Extended
Until December 30
The deadline for federal
employees to retire and receive
a 6.1 percent increase in their
retirement annuities has been
extended until Dec. 30.

Performs in Pool
The President's action ex·
tends from Nov. 30 to Dec. 30
the deadline for qualifying for
the 6.1 percent retirement in·
crease carried in a bill signed
into law in September. Actual·
ly federal employees whose
retirements are effective be·
fore the end of the year will
receive an 8.1 percent boost
in their retirement pay~.l
percent under the annuity bill
enacted this year and 2 per·
cent under a law enacted in
1962.
Vol. XX, No. 46 Naval Ordnlnce T..t Stltion, Chinl Like, Cllifomil Fri., Nov. 19, 1965
In the form of a one-quar·
ter size remote controlled mo-
del, tbe two-man submarine
performed in the Station swim·
ming pool on Wednesday, Oct.
6, under the eyes of Captain
John I. Hardy, ComNOTS, Dr.
W. B. McLean, Technical Di·
rector; Frank Knemeyer, As-
sistant Technical Director for
Development (Weapons Sys·
tems); Dr. Gilbert Plain, Assoc.
Head of Research Department
and Dr. Pierre St. Amand, Head
of Earth and Planetary Sci·
ences Division.
The deadline extension for
the annuity hike was sought by
the Post Office Department,
which feared that under the
old deadline many experienced
employees would retire by Nov.
36 and the handling of the
Christmas mail rush would be
adversely affected.
Employees who wait until
December to retire not only
will receive the annuity hike,
but they also probably will
fare better on their income
taxes.
Employees who retire in
November will receive their
lump·sum payment for unused
annual leave in December,
thus making it taxable as in·
come for this year. Employees
who retire in December will
receive their pay men t in
January, making it part of
their 1966 earnings.
Most Facilities
Will Close Doors
On Thanksgiving
All Navy Exchange fa·
cilities will be closed on
Thanksgiving Day, Thurs·
day, November 25, with tho
exception of the Snack Ba...
Other facilities which will
be closed are the Commis·
sary Store, the Station Res·
taurant, the Station Library,
and the Bank of America.
This miniature submarine is
the invention of Leonard See·
ley, bydrodynamicist with As·
trometrics Division of Weap-
ons Development Department.
The two principles he com·
bined in it are its bean·pod
shape (oblate spheroid) and
its propeller-control mechan·
ism - the cycioidal propeller.
Why NOTS Is Interested
Not the model submarine it·
self, nor even its arresting con·
figuration, but its extraordina·
ry propeller held most of the
interest tbat drew tbe group
of spectators to the S tat ion
Pool demonstration.
"We at Astrometrics Divi·
sion are very much interest·
ed in Leonard Seeley's work
with the cycloidal propeller,"
sl>ys Don Moore, division head.
"It's a unique and highly use·
ful device which we hope to
use in a full·scale submersible
under development in the De-
partment sometime d uri n g
this fiscal year."
The China Lake Bowl will
ba open on Thanksgiving

venter Leonard Seeley of Code 40's Astr...

teristics of hil miniature subm.rine with its

Frank Knemeyer, depart-

est in the device. "It could
have important applications in

comments.

.Bean-Shaped Sub
Performs in Pool
The President's action ex·
tends from Nov. 30 to Dec. 30
the deadline for qualifying for
the 6.1 percent retirement in·
crease carried in a bill signed
into law in September. Actual·
ly federal employees whose
retirements are effective be·
fore the end of the year will
receive an 8.1 percent boost
in their retirement pay~.l
percent under the annuity bill
enacted this year and 2 per·
cent under a law enacted in
1962.
Vol. XX, No. 46 Naval Ordnlnce T..t Stltion, Chinl Like, Cllifomil Fri., Nov. 19, 1965
In the form of a one-quar·
ter size remote controlled mo-
del, tbe two-man submarine
performed in the Station swim·
ming pool on Wednesday, Oct.
6, under the eyes of Captain
John I. Hardy, ComNOTS, Dr.
W. B. McLean, Technical Di·
rector; Frank Knemeyer, As-
sistant Technical Director for
Development (Weapons Sys·
tems); Dr. Gilbert Plain, Assoc.
Head of Research Department
and Dr. Pierre St. Amand, Head
of Earth and Planetary Sci·
ences Division.
The deadline extension for
the annuity hike was sought by
the Post Office Department,
which feared that under the
old deadline many experienced
employees would retire by Nov.
36 and the handling of the
Christmas mail rush would be
adversely affected.
Employees who wait until
December to retire not only
will receive the annuity hike,
but they also probably will
fare better on their income
taxes.
Employees who retire in
November will receive their
lump·sum payment for unused
annual leave in December,
thus making it taxable as in·
come for this year. Employees
who retire in December will
receive their pay men t in
January, making it part of
their 1966 earnings.

This miniature submarine is
the invention of Leonard See·
ley, bydrodynamicist with As·
trometrics Division of Weap-
ons Development Department.
The two principles he com·
bined in it are its bean·pod
shape (oblate spheroid) and
its propeller-control mechan·
ism - the cycioidal propeller.
Why NOTS Is Interested
Not the model submarine it·
self, nor even its arresting con·
figuration, but its extraordina·
ry propeller held most of the
interest tbat drew tbe group
of spectators to the S tat ion
Pool demonstration.
"We at Astrometrics Divi·
sion are very much interest·
ed in Leonard Seeley's work
with the cycloidal propeller,"
sl>ys Don Moore, division head.
"It's a unique and highly use·
ful device which we hope to
use in a full·scale submersible
under development in the De-
partment sometime d uri n g
this fiscal year."
The China Lake Bowl will
ba open on Thanksgiving
