College Students
Picket White House
WASHINGTON iff) — A* band
of college students, picketing and
fasting since Thursday to “show
our concern and demonstrate our
willingness to work for peace,”
has called at the White House at
President Kennedy’s invitation.
They got a long conference with
a top administration official —
and an offer of orange juice, -
The students passed up the
juice. It would have broken their
72-hour, water-only fast.
They used the 75-minute con
ference with McGeorge Bundy,
Kennedy’s special assistant for
National Security Affairs, to pro
pose that the President convene
a national student conference on
issues of peace and war. They
were assured that the President
would toe told of their suggestion.
The White House visit Friday
night was unusual — perhaps un
precedented. The broad sidewalk
outside the executive mansion is
a favorite spot for pickets sup
porting a variety of causes. But
veteran White House guards said
seldom — if ever Trave pickets
been invited inside.
They carried placards that read
“Iowa students fasting for peace,”
and “we’re behind Kennedy's
peace race.”
Kennedy read the student de
monstration while traveling from
Seattle, Wn., to Phoeniz, Ariz. He
told White House press secretary
Pierre Salinger to call Washing
ton and. have officials at the White
House invite them in.

Two Indians
Deserve Credit for
First Thanksgiving
The first deed of Indian land
to an English colonist is believed
to have been made by Samoset,
a chief of the Pemaquids. Ac
cording to World Book Encyclo
pedia, he transferred 12,000 acres
of his tribe’s land to the Plymouth
colonist John Brown in 1625.
Two Indians with an English
accent deserve much of the credit
for the first Thanksgiving in
America.
They taught the Plymouth col
onists how to make a home in
the new world and helped them
establish a peace that lasted for
more than 50 years.
The first to approach the colon
ists, reports World Book Encyclo
pedia, was Samoset, a chief of
the Pemaquid Indians. He walk
ed into the colony one day in
March, 1621, and unsettled the
settlers by addressing them ir
English. Samoset, it turned out,
had earlier met some English fish
ermen along the coast of Maine
and learned some of the language
from them.
Two weeks later Samoset drop
ped in with his friend Squanto,
a well-traveled brave of the Paw
tuxet tribe. Squanto had been to
England twice, once after having
been kidnaped and sold as a slave
in Spain by an English sea cap
tain. He had returned to Ameri
ca in 1610.
Samoset introduced the colon
ists to Massasoit, chief of the Ply
mouth area. With Squanto acting
as interpreter, the chief and the
Pilgrims concluded a treaty of
friendship that lasted until Mas
sasoit died in 1661.
Meanwhile Squanto went to
live with the colonists, teaching
them how to plant com, pump
kins and beans and showing them
where to fish.
That year the Pilgrims had a
'bountiful harvest and Gov. Wm.
Bradford declared the celebration
that became the first Thanks
giving.

Dental Hypersensitivity, What It Is, and
What Can Be Done About It
Teeth that are set to aching by cold water or an icy wind, by hot
liquids, sweets or acids or even tooth brushing-this is what the den
tist means when he speaks of dental hypersensitivity. Call them
“tender teeth” if you like—for that is just what they are.
Who has such teeth?
Probably everyone experiences i
the painful condition at one time
or another, and a great many
persons suffer chronically from
it. For them tender teeth are a
constant, painful problem. Dr.
Irwin D. Mandel, associate clin
ical professor, Columbia Univer
sity, whose specialty is the month
and its diseases, estimates that
they number 18 million in the
U.S. He considers that dental
hypersensitivity is most common
in adults, particularly after age
35, and in growing children.
Are tender teeth a normal con
dition?
Dental hypersensitivity is so
common that it may almost be
called a "normal disease state.”
Virtually everyone experiences it
after the dentist has cleaned the
teeth, or when injury or surgery
have exposed sensitive areas of
a tooth or teeth.
Why are adults after age 35
and growing children particu
larly susceptible?
The answer lies in an explana
tion of why tender teeth hurt
when exposed to certain outside
stimuli which, in severe cases,
include the pressures set up by
chewing.
Let us take the over-35 group:
As they age the gums of many
persons may recede exposing
those portions of the tooth which,
in youth and health, are nor
mally covered and insulated by
these tissues. Without this pro
tective covering, teeth react to
stimuli that formerly were not
felt or were pleasant rather than
painful.
As for children, Dr. Mandel
!|JI Hi ii If' Vi nil rn
explains that their teeth are
hypersensitive because complete
calcification and hardening of the
enamel have not yet taken place.
Immature teeth are high in or
ganic substances, he explains,
which provide many pathways
for transmission of sensations.
What can be done about tender
teeth?
Until recently, the only feasi
ble treatment has been limited to
temporary remedies which the
dentist can employ in his office.
Today, however, there is avail
able a remedy which is as simple
as normal dental hygiene—brush
ing the teeth with a toothpaste
containing an element naturally
found in teeth (and bones), and
which blocks the stimuli that
cause the pain of tender teeth.
The new toothpaste has been
named Sensodyne. Investigators
have reported in scientific jour
nals that it eliminates or reduces
the pain of tender teeth in 9 out
of 10 cases.
