LETTERS TO THE EDITORS
TRUCK COMPANY 26
Sirs:
Having served in both ladder and engine companies I believe I am in a position to say that "Truck Company 26" (LIFE, March 19) is one of the most authentic articles ever written on the fire fighting profession as it is today.
GENE S. WEAVER
Birmingham, Ala.
Sirs: As a fire captain I can say that this article dealt accurately with fire fighting evolutions and a fireman's habits while in the station.
WILLIAM T. BEDWELL JR.
Pemberton, N.J.
Sirs:
Grand reading. I felt as if I had actually ridden "The Truck" and served as "first man on the nozzle" up on the sixth floor of that tenement blaze.

OUTRANKED WIFE
Sirs:
My wife and I were happy to learn there are other people besides ourselves who were able or determined enough to get married despite differences in service rank ("Outranked Wife," LIFE, March 19). In a way Betty and Mick Sluis are luckier than we were. In our family the lady wears the bar of a first lieutenant. I was a second class petty officer.
Our "mixed" marriage has never caused us any trouble. Like Seaman Sluis, so long as I wore civilian clothes I was accepted at all the social functions officers seem to like so well.
The one distasteful incident I can recall happened at a general's reception. His lady, quite a wit, greeted me with: "So, you're the dependent in the family!"
ROBERT McGUIRK
Fort Worth, Texas
Sirs:
Your article brought back pleasant memories although ours was the story of an "outranked husband." He was a chief petty officer and I was a lieutenant (j.g.) Wave.
On many occasions we encountered the obstacles of Navy regulations, but we weathered all with ease.
Congratulations, Betty, on that breakfast in bed and keep up the good work. All the stripes I could earn still haven't entitled me to that luxury.

I WEAR FALSE TEETH yet my mouth feels fresh, dean and cool No"DENlURE BREAlH" _" for me*
*"I keep my false teeth clean and odor-free with Polident. When my plate feels clean and fresh and cool from a Polident bath, I'm safe from Denture Breath." Mr. A. G. R., New Milford, Pa.
You know what Mr. R. means- it's a wonderful feeling to know that you're not offending- friends with Denture Breath. And it's great when your plates feel clean and cool and fresh-from their Polident bath.
Remember, dental plates need the special care of a special denture cleanser. Don't brush, soak them in Polident (only about a cent a day) to keep them sparkling clean, free from Denture Breath. Get Polident tomorrow.
NO BRUSHING
Soak plate or bridge daily-fifteen minutes or more-in a fresh, cleansing solution of Polident and water.
POLIDENT
RECOMMENDED BY MORE DENTISTS THAN ANY OTHER DENTURE CLEANSER

BEFORE
It’s so hard to eat with loose plates!
AFTER
