mouth infection, crooked teeth,
faulty "bite", bruxism (night
grinding). poorly contoured fil-
lings, poorly fitting bridges and
partial dentures.
Each of these may be fur-
ther aggravated by old age, in-
herited tendency, poor general
health and poor mouth hygiene.
Treatment consists of scrap-
ing and planing root surfaces
and cutting away diseased gum
tissue, thus eliminating the
pocket. Sounds horrible doesn’t
it? It isn't though. Modern tech-
niques and knowhow have sim-
plified the procedure and pain
killers give exellent relief.
Best treatment, of course, is
prevention. Early diagnosis and
treatment of periodontal disease
can prevent formation of gum
pockets and associated ills.
Gumboils are not uncommon
in children, but they mostly
come from infection that begins
inside teeth, Le., deep decay or
damage from a fall, etc. Since
infected baby teeth will be re-
placed by secondary teeth, in-
fection is best eliminated by re-
moving the tooth.
Antibiotics are sometimes us-
ed to control infection around
teeth and gums while treatment
is in progress. But unless the
condition is treated and the
cause removed, they give only
temporary relief.

-V- (AP) — Diamonds are a
girl’s best friend, the saying
goes, but diamonds have also
done a lot for all of Arkansas
— men included.
North America’s only dia-
mond mines, located about
two miles southeast of here,
are thriving tourist attrac-
tions. The “diamond-hunting”
season gets warm with the
weather.
The mines aren’t actually
mines anymore They once
were, briefly, but now they’re
operated purely as tourist at-
tractions. where the traveler
— for a 81 50 fee — can scrab-
ble through acres of plowed
kimberlite in search of dia-
monds.
He can also picnic or just
rest, knowing that the soil be-
nath him — the kimberlite
— bears diamonds for the de-
termined and lucky plucker.
Diamonds have been found
In isolated instances elsewhere
in North America, but only
near here have they been
been found in such quantities
as to be considered a mine.
Last year about 100.060 visi-
tors came into the area to
seek the gems.
Undoubtedly, they were hop-
ing to find stones like the Un-
de Sam Diamond or the Star
of Arkansas.
In 1925, the Unde Sam Dia-
mond was found at the Ar-
kansas Diamond Mine Inc.,
and weighed 42 carats and 23
points in the rough. The em-
erald-cut stone was trimmed
to about 15 carats. It recently
sold for 8100,000.
The star of Arkansas was
found in 1956 at the Crater of

Diamonds. In the rough it
weighed 15.31 carats. Mrs. Ar-
thur Lee Parker of Dallas,
found it, recently had it ap-
praised again. Value: 8100,000.
But there is one difference
between the finds — the Un-
cle Sam was discovered in a
minng operation. The Star of
Arkansas was picked up off
the ground by a tourist.
The Arkansas Diamond
Mine, now operated by James
R. Johnston, occupies 828
acres, of which Johnston said
49 acres are diamond-bearing
soil.
The Crater is operated by
Mr. and Mrs. Howard Millar,
who have handled it since it
was founded in 1914. The Cra-
ter has 40 acres, with about
18 bearing diamonds, Millar
said.
The Crater has been solely
a tourist attraction for the
past 12 years. The Arkansas
Diamond Mine has been a
tourist attraction onlly for the
past three years.
Commmercial mining ven-
tures failed.
“It takes about 815 million
to get a diamond mining op-
eration going right,” Johnston
said.
A mining operation attempt-
ed at the Crater met with fail-
ure after two mining plants
mysteriously burned to the
ground and a number of suits
were filed against the group
attempting the operation, Mil-
lar said.
But both sites flourish as
tourist attractions.
And there’s not much
chance that they’ll exhaust
their supply of diamonds any-
time soon
In 1944, the federal govern-
ment made four core drillings
in the area. The kimber-
lite belt extended downward
1,000 feet. At the 600 foot
level the drillers found a dia-
mond.

Dear Dr. Lawrence: Could
you in your column discuss
gumboils? I think I have one.
It comes and goes and doesn’t
give me much trouble, but I’d
like to know what caused it
and what I should be doing
about K —Mrs. Edith W.
A “gumboil” or parulis, is
a by-product of periodontal di-
sease (pyorrhea). It appears on
the gums as a slightly raised,
small red “boil” with a tiny
opening in the center. This
opening communicates with an
Infected gum pocket next to the
tooth. Accumulated waste pro-
ducts of infection (pus) fill the
pocket and then drain out
through this opening. Drainage
is nature's attempt to get rid
of infection. When the pocket is
drained empty, it heals; when
it fills up again, the boil re-
curs.
Disease which produces bone
loss and pocket formation
around teeth is called periodon-
tal disease. Its causes are not
fully understood but are thought
to be mostly local in origin.
Some common, contributing
catiaeo are: prolonged trench

The Kentucky Fried Chicken
Restaurant at 512 S. 23rd was
robbed of an estimated 870 last
night by a lone gunman who
fled into a dark alley.
According to Detective Deloy
Misel, the southwest Lawton
robbery was the fifth armed
robbery in the past 80 days
here in which lone gunmen
have taken a total of 8650.
Charles Beller, operator of
the establishment said he was
alone in the front of the build-
ing at 9:20 p.m. when the man
walked in. pulling a cowboy
hat over his face as he enter-
ed. Beller said the man held a
.22 caliber pistol in his hand.
“Need Money”
"I need some money. Give
me all of your bills.” Beller
quoted the hijacker
Raymond J. Adams, an em-
ploye of the restaurant, said he
was at the rear of the building
and did not realize what had
token place until the man was
leaving the building.
Three customers seated in an
automobile in front of the build-
ing said they became aware of
what was happening as the man
fled in front at their automobile,
carrying a pearl handled pistol
in his back pocket. The witness-
es told Detective Misel that the
man “broke into a run” when
he reached the side of the build-
ing, running east in an alley
until he was out of sight.
Beller said he was certain the
man turned north after running
in the alley for a short dis-
tance.
He described the hijacker as
a white mala, about 23 years
old, five feet, ten inches tall,
weighing about 165 pounds, with
{ a dark complexion.
\ Wears Cowboy Hat
_ He said the man was wear-
ing a black, straw cowboy hat,
a blue shirt, and blue jeans. An
immediate search of the area
by several officers failed to pro-
duce a suspect.
As in the previous armed rob-
beries. witnesses were unable to
spot an automobile which might
have been used by the hijack-
er.
Detective Misel and Detective
Carl Lindgren said the man in
last night’s robbery did not
match the description of any of
the previous robberies.
Other hijackings have occur-
red as follows: March 2, Jiffy
Food store, 11th and H, 873
taken; March 17, J A J Pawn
shop, 920 South Second, 8110
taken; April 25, Nito and Day
Food store. Second and I, about
8100 token; and April 26. Soon-
er Food store. 23rd and Gore,
about 8300 taken.
The pawn shop robbery is the
only one in which the robber
wore a mask, according to pol-
ice reports.
