According to the calendar, winter
Is rapidly fading into the back
ground, and before we know it,
spring will be here with all its fas-
cinating possibilities Parent-teacher
people welcome the spring season,
for it brings with it a renewed op-
portunity for service to the children
of our city. There are school gar
denS to be planted, and, in many
instances, members of local parent
teacher associations have a very vital
part in thu success of these gardens.
There are health programs which
become alive during the spring
months, and, of course, leading these
is the summer roundup of pre-
school children.
1 have already talked about the
1941 campaign in a previous article,
but the subject is ineXhauStible and
there is always something new. Mrs.
r. M. Graham, chairman of the
Summer Roundup Committee, will
hold an important meeting next
Wednesday in the N. E. A. Building
for local summer roundup chair
men. All necessary supplies for the
conduct of the roundup will be dis
tributed at that time, all informa-
ton given out and any puZzling
questions answered.
Particular stress will be laid this
year on dental health, and by dental
health We mean corrections of
dental defects and proper oral hy-
giene. This campaign will be car
ried to the pre-school child, par
ticularly, because figures available
from the roundup of last year show
some startling facts.
In the children examined in the
school clinics checkup it was found
that of the 40 per cent needing
corrections only SGT per cent
actually visited the dentist, which
means that almost half of the little
folks needing dental care were de-
MED it.
Many people harbor the false
ideas that so-called baby teeth"

The largest number of spectators
since the 1882 Olympics climbed
into the perpendicular stands and
gathered at points of vantage along
| the Mount Van Hoevenberg bob
run, the only one in America, to
watch the four-man holiday races.
At stake was the National A. A.
U. championship, which this year
| carried with it the Billy Fiske Me-
mortal Trophy. Fiske, who joined
the Royal Air Force, was killed in
action over the English Channel
last August.
Among the watchers at the start

line, was a bobsledder who had

for racing, even to the heavy foot

was not to go. His face, Splotched
with strips of tape, was bruised

walked with a limp and had been
ruled out of the race.

So the report of Thompson's bro

petition, took heart.

Among the tales Of passenger
bobbing one hears at Lake Placid
is that of the man who, with the
| 480-pound bob hurtling down the
icy channel at about go miles an
hour, found the sensation too ter
rifying and threw himself from the
sled. So first-time bobbers watch
the races with an eye toward their
own fears. Whether the rider can
take it" is decided by the COM
missions policy of prescribing first
the half-mile route. Then he goes
up the mountain again for the
doubled thrill of a mile ride. But
neither ride is granted until the
passenger has signed in duplicate
a bob run waiver which says, backed
by other legal phraseology: "(a)
That I know the risks inherent in
such use; Cb> that fully and freely
assume any injury or damage which
may result to me from such use'
So, watching the racing bobs flash
by with roar of metal on ice, see
ing it mount and cling to the wal
of ice as it takes a curve, the un-
initiated decide whether or not tC
ride.
Through a public address system
the spectators hear most of the
race they go to see. Observers sta
toned at the curves report to the
control room, where an announcer
relays the progress of the racing
sled through the loudspeakers.

voice. The team moves its sled into

fall out anyway; therefore why
bother having them fixed when they
become defective?
But there is more behind the
proper dental care for children than
the mere filling of cavity or the
periodical prophylaxis, important
as they are. There is the condi-
tioning of the child for all his
life to proper dental care. There
is the habit-forming process where
by it becomes routine for child
to have his teeth inspected by a
dentist and the necessary repairs
and corrections made. There is
provided by this method, the early
detection of dental defects and the
possibility of correction before the
condition has become chronic or
irreparable.
Therefore, summer roundup
chairmen this spring will be in
structed to stress particularly the
correction of discovered defects
and to urge upon parents the twice
yearly inspection of the teeth of
their children, after their first
teeth have been cut, and before
the warning tWingeS of painful
toothache presage trouble.
l sincerely hope that all parents
of young children will make every
effort to cooperate with this
health program and when defects
are discovered will have them cor
rected. either by private dentists
or at the clinics available in the
city.
