“GEORGE KIRBY PRESENTS KING HEROlN”—George Kirby
(right), comedian and impressionist, talks about his battle with drugs
and prison life in a candid and provocative interview on Tony Brown's
Journal. “In this entire country and over the world, think three or
four times before you do anything wrong. Because they made an
example out of me, because of my name, they let everybody know,
‘We don’t care who you are,’ ” Kirby confides to Host Tony Brown
(left). As a result of his experiences, Kirby introduces on the program
a new character to his litany of impressions: “King Heroin,” a chilling
dramatization of the destructive impact of drugs.

Notice of Public Hearing On Navy Draft Environment
Impact Statement On Permanent Disposal of
Decommissioned, Defueled Naval Submarine Reactor
Plants
The Navy is currently examining me question of what to do with
decommissioned, nuclear submarines after all the nuclear fuel has been removed
from them. The Navy has no immediate plans to dispose of any nuclear-powered
ship. No decision has been made on how disposal would be carried out when
eventually required. However, with over 100 nuclear-powered submarines in
operation, the Navy is faced with eventual decommissioning of these ships at a
future rate of possibly 3 or 4 per year over the next 30 years and a permanent
means of disposal must be developed that is environmentally acceptable. Since it
is clear that at some time in the future these ships must be properly disposed of,
the Navy has begun the process of identifying practical alternatives and
developing information for use in weighing the environmental considerations
associated with the alternatives. This process has been started well in advance of
any anticipated need to actually dispose of any ships to provide time for a
thorough evaluation of all factors.
On December 22, 1982 the Navy published a notice in the Federal Register
(Vol. 47, No. 246 pages 57085-57087), which announced that a Navy draft en
vironmental impact statement (DEIS) to assess the environmental implications
of alternatives that could be used to permanently dispose of decommissioned,
defueled Naval submarine reactor plants, was available for public review and
comment. The Draft EIS evaluates the environmental impacts of both land and
sea disposal alternatives. Studies were conducted of the feasibility of burying
the defueled reactor plants in Department of Energy land burial sites in South
Carolina (Savannah River Plant) and Washington State (Hanford Site) or
placing them on the deep ocean bottom. The purpose of the EIS is to provide
Navy decision makers, as well as people in other federal agencies, states and the
public with the technical, environmental and economic information necessary to
facilitate rational comment and decision making.
The Navy is holding public hearings during February 1983 to provide
information and to afford members of the public an opportunity to present
their views. These hearings are being held in the following state capitals:
Columbia, South Carolina; Raleigh, North Carolina; Olympia, Washington;
and Sacramento, California.
On February 17, 1983 the Navy will hold a public hearing in Columbia, South
Carolina at the University of South Carolina Wade Hampton Conference
Center, Main and Gervais Streets. The public may present their views at one of
three sessions commencing at 9:00 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
The hearing will be conducted by a Navy Hearing Officer. The hearing will be
informal and is to be neither evidentiary nor judicial in nature. All persons who
give testimony or ask questions are requested to address themselves to the
Hearing Officer. Individual speakers are requested to limit their testimony to five
minutes each to summarize and present their views. Organizations desiring to
make a formal presentation in excess of ten minutes may do so if specific
arrangements have been made in advance with Captain Wagner (as noted
below). All testimony will be recorded.
Individuals and organizations wishing to submit written statements to be
included in the hearing record may either present such statements at the hearing,
or mail the statements to: Captain Edward F. Wagner, U.S. Navy, Office of the
Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV-22), Department of the Navy,
Washington, D.C. 20350. Telephone (202) 697-1961.
Single copies of the Draft EIS may be obtained by writing to Captain Wagner
at the above address. The Federal Register notice on December 22, 1982 also
lists a number of locations where the Draft EIS is available for review.

terrific lesson behind
that, and that lesson is to
think three or four times
before you do anything
that is unlawful.

Dentistry and you
Those
television
ads
by Dr. WJ. Walker Jr.
If you watch
television, you’ve
probably seen the com
mercials selling fluoride
toothpaste (“Mommy,
Mommy, My group had
fewer cavities!”).
The best part about
these commercials is
that, hopefully, they
may induce children to
brush their teeth. It’s the
brushing and flossing af
ter eating that is the most
effective preventer of
tooth decay and gum
disease. Fluoride mouth
rinses, too, have proven
to be beneficial. Tooth
paste can help, but it’s
only part of effective
oral hygiene.
The mere presence of
fluoride in a toothpaste
does not give it
therapeutic qualities.
There are, however,
several brands of tooth
paste on the market
which contain floride in
an effective combination
with other ingredie
They definitely pos
therapeutic value
have been recommer
by The National De
Association and
American Der
Association’s Counc
Dental Therapeutics.
It should be
phasized, so that the

are not a substitute
the combination
fluoridation of c
munity drinking v
and professional flu<
treatment, which

as 65 percent.
