Regular Exams Urged
For Dental Care

1T is hoped that research will dis
cover safe and effective means of re-
ducing the incidence of that most
common Of human ailments-tooth
decay" was the encouraging state
ment recently made by DR.. Richard
c. Leonard, Chief Of the Division of
Oral Hygiene, State Department of
Health. ALREADY the facts have been
established that proper mouth clean
illness and certain dietary practices
tend to decrease the tendency of the
teeth to decay. More recently the
judicious use of flourine and GER
tain vitamins has been advanced
as means Of lessoning dental destruc-
ton.
although these discoveries offer
hope Of Improvement, no one of these
means, or all of them combined, may
be expected to eliminate completely
the detail ailments now so common.
Accordingly, the Division of Oral
Hygiene urges that the other method
of maintaining mouth health and
normality be practiced. This method
is the regular examination and COR
rectional services of the practicing
dentist.
early and frequent examinations
will disclose beginning defects that
may be easily corrected. 1t does not
always take long for little dental de-
fects to become big ones. That is why
See your dentist twice year, or
more often is good advice.
incidentally, the summer vacation
months are good time to see that
children's dental conditions are cared
for. Children who have not visited
their dentist during the summer
should go to him for dental examin-
alton and any necessary treatment
now, during the first weeks of the
fall term. By doing so they may avoid
suffering and absence from school
during the coming year"

DEFICITS AND INITIATION

Cussing the OPA has been a ma

been modified it receives few kind

country that dislikes dictation of any

OPA's violent critics. They forget
that the thing that made the OPA
in the first place was uncontrolled

Now that the war is over and our

is likely that flood control is one
problem due for some considerations
Last year we heard lot about Il
series OF flood control dams proposed

There is always a lot of opposition

businesses disrupted and populations
must be moved. Probably some dams
are necessary part of any complete
flood plan control. There is one kind
of flood control activity, however,
that will result in higher value for
the area treated. 1t is keeping as
much as possible OF tie rain and snow

not entirely prevent floods, for there

Is percent Of flood crest does about
10 percent Of the damage. If good
conservation practices on a watershed
sould hold back that top 25 percent,
or even Is percent, it would be quite
help.
The soil is a great reservoir for
water storage. Just consider that all
the water flowing from springs,
pumped from wells, evaporated from
the land and transpIred by growing
plants comes from the ground water
reservoir. On a summer day a medi-
um sized tree will transpire through

Other scheduled include "Dick
