The are of this six year molar
Is very important for two reasons
-ilrst 1t is a pillar of the law
structure and regulates the posi-
tlon and straiehtncss of the rest
Of the teeth. And, second, because
1t Is somewhat soft and chuiky at
first and very subject to decay and
If 1t does decay the parent are apt
to say-"Oh, that is just a tempo
rary tooth"-and let it 90. when
as a matter Of fact it needs the
very earliest attention. But for
the sake of the jaw regularity the
temporary teeth should be re-
paired if they decay, even if they
are temporary.
The tonsil question is one that
requires wisdom to settle. The
tonsils guard the portals of the
respiratory system from infection
and IN dong 50 very often get bad
~ infected themselves. If so thew
should be removed. But to take
tonsils Of all children out without
any indication is a medical fad of
the past, which no longer Is popu-
lar.
The child's weight is also 81 mat
ter that requires Judgment as to
just what to do about it. | do not
believe i'll %badgering a child just
because it is underweight Cor over
weight. However if under weight
is accompanied by excessive ia
tigue and especially if there is a
little afternoon fever a vigorous
search to eliminate the cause-tu-
b%erculosis especially or focal IN
fection or dietary insntfciency--
should be instituted.

Years ago, 81 years ago. even %
years ago. | have been indicating
in the articles this week one phase
Of that a~dvance-the prevention of
those contagious diseases which
once killed their hundreds of thou
sands of children Of school age.
There M other factors which |
shall consider today. | decidedly
believe in regular medical exam
nations for children (although |
have some reservations about an
nual health audits for adults over
forty, which | expressed in an ar
ticle last week.. And certainly just
before entering school for the first
time q child is entitled to the bene-
mt OF a review Of the bodily eff
cheney with an idea Of making such
corrections as are possible in order
to prepare for the very radical
change and demands on the body
and mind that school discipline
entails.
Examination for Child
For the child we need not stress
the examination of heart, kidneys
and blood pressure, which we
stress for the adult, although the
condition Of these systems NAV be
noted, and very occasionally a case
OF, let us say, unsupported juve-
nile diabetes, which can be radi-
cally improved may be picked up.
The examination of the begin
ming school child should stress
however, the condition of the eyes,
teeth, tonsils, weight and history
Of fatigue.
At the age Of six the permanent
teeth are beginning to come in.
The first permanent tooth to come
in is not like the temporary teeth
in front. but is the first molar

which comes in behind all the tenn
porary teeth. 1t comes in behind
the first and second temporary
molars and Is very, very often
thought by the parents to be one
OF the temporary set. The parents
think that because they have three
molars tthe grinders at the back
of the jaw the child should also
have them, but the temporary set
OF teeth numbers only two muiars.

FAIRBANKS E NOW PLANNING
 WAFER SYSTEM

The citizens of Fairbanks will determine whether the city will issue bonds to construct the pro- posed water system project, and a new sewage pumping station, at a special election to be held soon, according to Richard s. Green, Sanitary Engineer, Director of the Division of Public Health Engin- eering, Territorial Department of Health. Green returned to his Ju- Ineau headquarters Saturday from an official trip to Fairbanks where he conferred with Army and City engineers and city officials and Icitizens interested in the project.
 The sum of $l,403,267 has been allocated to the city of Fairbanks by the Federal Works Agency as it's share in the cost of the con- struction of the water system and improvements to the existing sew erage system.
 Supply Inadequate
 The present water supply of Fair banks is very inadequate, according to modern standards, MT. Green said, and growth of the city in the past few years has greatly over taxed the existing sewerage system.
 Preliminary test wells to deter mine the volume and quality of the water supply are now being put in and the results will be known with in a few weeks, Green said. This work is being carried out by the city under the direction of Fred Wann, well known engineer. A fairly good idea of the quantity and quality of water which can be supplied the city of Fairbanks has already been ascertained from exploratory test wells put in last February, but more extensive survey to establish accurate infor- nation was decided necessary be- fore final designs may be prepared and other steps taken to begin the project.
 Proposed Wells
 Site of the proposed wells is in an area about three miles to the south of Fairbanks and is considered to be a good location for an adequate water supply. Preliminary work is being done at this time so that if the project is accepted by the city, the engineers may proceed imme- diately with the completion of the detailed drawings and final speci- fications. Equipment and materials would have to be brought into the area during the winter months in order that the actual work might be undertaken as early as possible next spring, Mir. Green stated.
 The Federal Works Agency will be in charge of the project under the direction of Earl McGinty

Wind Recordings


 The direction of the wind is ob- tained from an instrument called a wind vane, which somewhat re- sembles the weather-cock used by farmers. Instead of a cock on top of the wind direction instrument the Weather Bureau wind direction is indicated by an arrow. This ar row indicates the direction from which the wind is blowing.
 The wind instruments are in- stalled at locations free from ob- struction where winds coming from any direction will strike the vane thereby giving a true measure of the direction.
 Instead of going outdoors to find from which direction the wind is blowing, there are various instru- ments by which this is recorded in- side. The direction is automatically recorded by use of electrical con- tactS to either or direction points either by small electric lamp or by eiectro-magnetS. Electric lamps are used for visual reading The electro magnets cause a dot to be placed on sheet of paper once each minute, showing the direction from which the wind blew. This sheet of paper is placed on a clock drum and thus automatic records of the wind direction for each minute are made.

October WasW Wei,
 As Usual

The month of October was found to be wet as usual. Both the city and airport offices experienced more rain than normal during the past month.
 Sunshine occurring during Octo- Der was five times less than in Oc- tober, 1943, with an average of only 6 per cent of the possible for the month. With the coming of winter and earlier sunsets, the number of clear days has also decreased with none reported for October, three partly cloudy days and 28 cloudy days.
 At the airport, the maximum wind velocity for a five-minute period for the month was 45 miles per hour from the southeast which occurred on the 9th of last month. Maxi mum wind velocities for five-minute periods during Is hours on October 9th were never less than 34 miles per hour. The average velocity for the month was 9.3 miles per hour.

GRANGE MEETING

There was a rather small attend
ance at the Kootenai Valley Grange
last Friday evening, nevertheless a
very interesting meeting was held.
Our lecturer, Mrs. COPYRIGHT, pro-
vided varied program of instruc-
tive readings and patriotic poems.
James Raft gave a short talk on
some phases of initiation that was
much appreciated. Several stunts
and contests were staged which
evoked manv laughs, especially the
nail driving by the ladies and the
hroidering by the men.
The resignation Of Louis Ohlerich
as secretary and Mrs. Ohlerich as
Pomona, were presented and ac-
cepted. To fill these offices, Mrs.
Eugene Mcclure was elected Po-
mona, and H. P. Weydemeyer, sec
rotary. Mrs. Julia Beebe was elect
ed to officiate at the installation of
the new officers, which ceremony
will take place at the first meeting
in January.
The Grange voted to purchase
$500 worth of tuberculosis Stamps
ana maze changes IN the amount
Of the quarterly dues necessitated
by the advance in the State Grange
dues.
Lunch of hamburger sandwiches
with the usual condiments, and cof-
fee, was served by the men, and
that they can turn out good ham
burgers was amply proven by the
number consumed by the ladies.
The next meeting of the Grange
will be its annual Christmas party
for the members and their families,
and will be held on Friday evening,
Dec. is. All those attending are re-
quested to bring inexpensive pres
ents for exchange. Lunch will be
served as usual and there will be
candy, nuts, etc, for the children.
In our report of two weeks ago
we were in error in announcing the
name of the newly elected steward
as being Hershey Collier; the name
should be Russell Collier.
