TWELVE DECADES OF BOOKS

What is the oldest book in Nor
gan county? The oldest one which
the Kate Love Simpson library owns
was published in 1929. The library
is displaying, in connection with
the Northwest Territory celebration,
one book from each decade, from
1929 to 1898. These books show
the changes from the early sheep
skin bindings with their quaint in
scriptions and now yellowed paper,
through the overly-decOrated cloth
binding of the 70's and SOS with
the black end papers and fine print,
to the present day books with their
modern photographs.
If anyone who has any books
earlier than 1929 would care to
loan them to the library, we would
be glad to add them to the display.

DENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM

The week of April II to Is the
state department of health is co.
operating with our local health de-
partment and school officials in
bringing to this county dental
health educational program. This
program will be presented by a
trained dental hygienist, who will
appear in the school rooms and pre-
sent to the elementary pupils lee
lures on care of the mouth and
teeth. These lectures will be H..
lustrated with models, charts, and
motion pictures. It is the desire
to have as many parents, as pos
sible, visit the schools during the
time this program is being present.
ed. 1t has long been felt that den-
tai conditions lead to many systemic
conditions and through this pro-
gram 1t is our hope to thoroughly
impress upon the minds of both
children and parents the Importance
and necessity of having proper dem
tai care. School officials are in ac-
cord that absentees from school are
due, in great many instances, tc
neglected teeth. Therefore, we urge
all who can to take advantage of
this program.
