Civic Society met last Thursday
evening with a good attendance
This body is a group of teachers
and citizens of the community who
are cooperating in an effort tc
raise funds to care for the teeth
of local school children.
The need for this work was
pointed out to the members after q
survey made by Miss Kurtz, public
health worker. 1t was decided to
take immediate action toward get
ting the children's teeth fixed. The
organization agreed to have a
standing sum in the treasury that
could be drawn on for necessary
cases. Mrs. Roy Judy, president
of the organization, pointed out
the necessity of carrying on an ex-
tensive food program in the com
munity, so that, while these bad
teeth conditions are being correct
ed through dental care and clean
liness, the children may also be
eating the foods that go to build
stronger teeth. She stated that in
many cases these food facts were
not getting into the homes, and
each member was given an individ-
ual responsibility to impart this
knowledge at every opportunity.
Several persons were placed in
charge of obtaining extra literature
on growing vegetables for home
use, and methods of canning the
surplus, to be put into the hands
of investigating committees.
Mrs. Judy also mentioned that
the members should be thinking of
a plan whereby it could be made
possible for each child to get a
quart of milk daily.

urer, gave an account Of the last
meeting, and donations from the
various community organizations
