STATE TO AUGMENT
 HYCIENIST STAFF
Extension of Work Heinz Planned By State Health
 Department

Extension of work by its division of mouth Hygiene is reported by the state department of health. Expan- sion of the program has increased the personnel of the division from one dental hygienists under the di- rection of a part-time chief to four hygienists under the direction of a full time, chief.
 Activities are centered as in the past around well child conferences and summer rourd-ups, but new feature has been added in the form of dental program for school chil- dren. Eighty-two towns have al- ready requested this service. With the opening of school, the program was put into execution in an ex- perimental area comprising eleven towns. The work has been complet- ed in the first three grades in four of these schools, fifth is nearly completed, and two more are under way.
 The service includes classroom talks, group instruction, and in- dividual examinations and prophy- laxes. The points emphasized in the talks are D East green vegetables, fruit and milk daily, @ Brush your teeth twice a day, (3) Get plenty of sleep, fresh air and sunshine (4 See your dentist twice a year. The results of this teaching have been satisfactorily demonstrated by the children themselves in making pos ters exemplifying the principles taught. Following the work done by the dental hygienists in the schools in the first three grades, health talks and films suitable for the older age groups are planned.
 In addition to the school pro- gram, talks have been given before various parent-teacher groups, pulp lie health associations, and student nurses. Contacts with the medical and dental professions will be made through meetings of these groups and through the special material and child hygiene program now be- ing conducted in Windham county. Rural groups are being reached through the State College extension service, All Clubs and Oranges.

 MEETS SATURDAY
Mid-Winter Program Un- der Discussion; Annual
 Banquet in Spring

Plans for a mid-winter activity will be discussed at the luncheon meeting of the Naugatuck Valley club of Holy Cross college, which will be held Saturday. Dec. 12, at the Hotel Elton. Dr. M. J. Lawlor, president of the group will preside and urges that every member be present for this meeting, as it will be one of the most important of the winer months.
 In additions to discussing plans for a contemplated activity initial plans are also expected to be launched for the annual banquet and get-together, which is sponsored by the local alumni in May. For the past two years these banquets have been outstanding in Holy Cross cir- cles in Connecticut. The list of speakers at both the previous ones is impressive.
 Fresh impetus is also expected to be given the Holy Cross scholarship fund, which the local club is spo1- soring at the Worcester college. HIS IS Cne IlrSt SUCH SCuOidTSIllp raised by a section club of Holy Cross college and many other sirni- lar groups are interested in its prog reSs and outcome. While no public drive for funds has even been con- ducted by the local alumni, more than one-quarter of the total amount necessary for an annual scholarship has been raised by var ious members in private solicitation. As an added attraction for the meeting and luncheon this Satur- day the committee in charge is en- deavoring to procure moving pie lures of some of the more important football games in which Holy Cross played this fall. It is hoped to se- cure two or three reels showing scenes from several contests.
 The committee in charge for the luncheon consists of John P. Kin ney, chairman, George Grady, Tim- othy Sullivan, Edward Bergin, Wal ter Monogan, Jr., William B. Hem messy, Neil Maloney, Maurice P. Wrenn.

ALONG The ROAD
BY DAVE HOVEY

The past two weeks Sheridan County
residents have been lodging a new
traffic menace-La Cucaracha. YOU We
probably forgotten both the tune La
Cucaracha, La C~ucaracha" and the
Wallace Beery movie of the same name
but if you do remember ii you'll urI-
derstand where the old bus got its
name. The car was in its heyday when
the tune was in its, but while the radio
killed of the tune in a hurry-through
playing it too much-nothing has yet
succeeded in stopping La Cucaracha.
The old gal continues to bounce and
skitter over the roads in a manner
so reminiscent of a cockroach seeking
a hole that you'll know her in a min
ute. And, you'll probably find her
parked in your yard Just when you'd
rather not.

ing the first snowfall of the season, In

women had piled a full-sized load on
