VIERS MILL
:: VILLAGE +

Bruce +. and Betty Griffith, plus
Bruce +. Jr., II months, are well
established in their coy home at
44O7 Benion Road. Bruce is a
Wisconsionian by birth and Betty
Pennsylvania. They both heart
lily agree, and Junior will later.
that the environment of the Village
is just what they wanted. Bruce
served the armed forces in the
Navy from early in 1871 to late
in l945. He is now employed as an
expert on rugs by Sears, Roebuck
at the Wisconsin Avenue Branch.
Since it was published that there
would be shopping and recrea-
ton center in the Village for the
folks convenience, the demands
for the home have greatly in
creased. Monstrous machinery is
now in operation cleaning and
grading new home sites and IL
seems almost overnight that streets
and boulevards come out of what
was formerly just plain old hills
with scurrilious underground. An
authoritative source estimates that
this time next year there will be
more than one thousand families
settled in the Village.

Radio Talk To
Open Dental
Health Day

A fifteen minute radio program
broadcast over Station WGAY on
Sunday, February 6 at Ills will
mark the observance of National
Children's Dental Health Day,
which is February Z. A round
table discussion will be led by DR..
Harold Conner, Silver Spring and
DR.. Jerome Cullen of Silver Spring
and Baltimore.
Dentists of the County are
stressing the use of Sodium Fluor-
ide to prevent tooth decay, in con-
nection with Children's Dental
Health Day. The celebration was
originated by the American Dental
Association and is being sponsored
by State and local societies
throughout the country.
Locally, under supervision of DR..
Roy H. Bridger, many PIT. A..
groups have heard talks on dental
health education giving true facts
about the mouth, the teeth and
their care. Particularly pointed
out is the Importance of the use
of the sodium fiuoride which is
being used now by practically all
dentists in the county. The treat
ment is a simple one in which the
dentist cleans the teeth, dries them
thoroughly and then applies the
solution which, in tests, has lessen
ed tooth decay 400. The results of
the treatment will vary somewhat
among individuals. However, the
beneficial effects \among large
groups of children have been DEM
onstrated so conclusively that the
Council on Dental Health of the
American Dental Association rec
ommends the treatment should be
used routinely in private dental
offices and in school and community
dental health programs"

Gonorl Factors in cutuorm Control

Gonoral Factors in cutuorm Control Of tho species or cutuorms thus far found in tho llatanuska Valley, five arc known to bo inmortant posts to cultivated crops. The importance Of coenizt ing tho fact that cutuorm injury is not nocos sarily caused by tho saLlo cutVorr species from yoar to year in any given aroa is that oac: species has a dist met ivo life history, host plant preference, and method Of attack. Conse quontly, control measures found to bo effective against ono species will not cossarily be of equal effect ivonoss a. gainst a,ro1atod form.
 Tho species of cutuoras Of possible inpor- tanco in tho Matanuska Valley, so far as is lnoTn, include the following: Tho rod- backed cutuorm; tho spotted cutrorm; tho black army cutuorm; tho T-Inarkod cutHorm; and tho classy cutuorn. Tn addition, tho varicgatod cutuorm is known to occur in Alaska.
 From tho standpo int Of control, these species fall into two rather distinct groups 0hich may be dofipod by thoir food- ing and ovcrvintcring habits. Tho first groups Dcludo sDoci6s 'thichJ hJnorral1y orlorf from tho soil, g6norally at night during tri1ight periods, to food upon tho aoria1 parts or plants. These species usually be controlled by the use of poisonous baits The onott ed cutTorn, the black army cut egated cutuorra all belong to this group
 of species. All of theso species ovor- winter as partly grown larvae, and .lare
 hence present and at vorac ious stage of growth by tho t inc the carl fest plantings arc made tho follo-ing spring.
 Tho second group of spec io $ arc charoc-
 terizod by the fact that thoy feed ont iro- 1y underground, only rarely and under
 special conditions coming to tho surface. Because of this hab it, tho of poiHon baits is seldom effective in controlling the ir ravagos and cul tural methods arc
 the only remedies thus far rorked out.
 Tho red-backod and tho g1assy GU tuonrn be- long to this group. This group passes
 tho winter in tho egg stage, matching in
