Milford Leads State Schools
In Its Dental Excellence
CONTINUED from First Page,

Grades 1 and 2 in Greenwood
School have earned the coveted GER
tificates of award-the first time
any school in Sussex county has
ever reported even one room where
all the children who needed it had
been to the dentist. Miss Ruth NJ
Kurtz, dental hygienist who works
out of the Sussex County Health
Unit in Georgetown, has been in
charge of these activities in the
Greenwood Schools, assisted by
Miss Ethel B. Gibson, the princi-
pal, and the teaching staff.
The home demonstration club,
with Mrs. Iva Edgell, president, and
Mrs. Ray Judy as health chairman,
originally sponsored the dental
health program and it was through
this group that the Greenwood Civic
Association was formed with Mrs.
Judy as chairman and Richard o.
Mai as treasurer.
Families who could were asked
to assume responsibility for their
own children's dental care but
money was raised to help INDECENT
cases. A committee of women Wis
tied homes to acquaint the parents
with the program and others fur
nished transportation. This COM
mittee included Mrs. Anne Wright, |
Mrs. Myrtle Warrington and Mrs.
Mildred Meredith. Working with |
them were Miss Elsie M. Wiley, |
teacher of grade one, and Miss Sa-
die J. B. Hill, teacher of grade two.
Mrs. Clarence Ocheltree is the pres
ident of the Greenwood Association
for the coming year.
Miss Jeffreys, the director of the
dental hygiene program for the
state in commenting on the sue
cess of the dental work accom-
plished in these five winning grades
Of the Milford and Greenwood |
schools, says:
Undoubtedly it is a program of |
This type, one that necessitates the
of the community as a
whole, that is conducive of the /
greatest good. Next year we hope
% see even greater advances for
,ur program of better dental
health for every child"
