The abundance ratios of the elements found in the extremely metal-poor stars (EMP) are a test of the yields predicted by the models of supernovae. For precise comparisons, it is of course preferable to avoid the approximation of LTE. The difference of LTE and NLTE profiles is displayed for three strong lines. The NLTE abundances of Ca are derived from the profiles of about 15 Ca I lines in the EMP giants and about 10 lines in the turnoff stars. The improved abundance trends are consistent with a [Ca/Fe] ratio constant vs. [Fe/H], and with a [Ca/Mg] ratio slightly declining when [Mg/H] increases. Also [Ca/Mg] presents a scatter larger than [Ca/Fe]. As far as the comparison with sulfur (another alpha elment) is concerned we find that [S/Ca] presents a scatter smaller than [S/Mg].
