NO BICKERING With THE PEOPLE:
Norway's Dentists Claim New
Health Bill Not Good Enouoh!

OSLO. - The new Norwegian
dental program now before Par
lament has motivated an interest
ing reaction on the part of dem
tists-nearly all of whom are in
private practice.
In 1916, a commission headed
by DR.. Jacob Ramm was named
to draw up national dental care
plan. This was presented the fol-
lowing year, and proposed that all
children between the ages of
seven and eighteen be provided
free dental attention = a-decided
advance over the present arrange
ment which limits free dental care
to children in the elementary
grades.
Following publication of the
committees proposal, however, a
number of influential groups and
organizations headed by the AS
ISOLATION of Norwegian Dentists
and the Norwegian Dental Col
lege had some criticism to for
ward.
Rather than voicing opposi-
ton to a plan which would
greatly expand the public dem
tai program. Norwegian dem
lists maintained that the new
proposal was not going far
enough.
Criticism centered On the COM
mittees recognition of the extent
to which tooth decay can affect
oral health before the age of sew
en- years.
The new dental health bill will
extend free care, in it's initial
phase, to all children, beginning
with the six instead of the seven
year group.

New Type Cement
Hailed In orWay
As Big Discovery

OSLO. - Calcite, a metamOr-
phic limestone which appears to
give concrete unusual water and
acid-resistant qualities, may in
time become a significant Nor
wegion export item, according to
a recent Oslo announcement.
Engineer Arne Daniels of the
Vaagsoy Cement Works in Sum-
more recently presented results of
a series of tests to an assembly
of fellow-specialists in Oslo where
the new type cement has be N

ment to one part of calcite mixed
into concrete, forms a building
material highly resistant to salt
water, weather, and acids.
Several years ago, while exam
inging concrete installations in
the tide-water section near Vaag-
soy he discovered a cement dock
built in 1913 which showed no in
dieations of water action. Inves-
tigation proved that the fisher
men who built it had unknow-
ingly mixed calcite into the con-
crete.
During the past two years, a
series of laboratory experiments
have indicated that calcite may
in reality be the key to highly
efficient building material.
Whether the new ingredient will,
for example, make it possible to
use calcite-concrete instead of
glazed tile pipe in acid soil, or to
effect other savings in increased
durability of dams, wharves, and
exposed structures, will depend on
results of on-the-job tests ex-
tending over a period of m Y
years, according to informed opin-
ion.

N0rsemen Get
Too Fat From
Postwar Food

OSLO.-Norwegians starved of
fats during the war, are now eat
ing fats in excessive quantities,
notes a recent issue of the Nor
wegian Medical Association Jour
nal." Resulting cases of adiposis,
an illness where persons have
gained from 20 to 80 pounds have
become so common, according to
the journal, that this must be con-
sidered a serious postwar disease.
In part, it is observed, tn e
problem is psychological. During
the war, peoples thoughts cent
cred on foodstuffs which were diff
ficult, if not impossible to obtain
particularly fats. Although food
is now much more plentiful, the
food consciousness stimulated by
the wartime scarcity has not di-
minished. The journal points to
the increased consumption of but
ter and margarine, and to the
doubling of milk sales-compared
to pre-war. This concentration on
fats is unfortunate, concludes the
Journal owing to the lack of 9TH
er ingredients necessary for a
balanced diet. Doctors are urged
to launch campaign against the
disease.

Specialization Of Insurance
Opposed But Controls 0kayed

STOCKHOLM, August. A
Government committee, compris-
ing members of every political
party, which was appointed in
1915 to make thorough study of
the insurance business in Sweden,
has now made it's findings pub
lie. 1t unanimously rejects in
principle the demand of the So
cial-Democratic Labor Party that
insurance in general should be
sOcialiZed.
After having carefully weighed
the problems and practices of
this business, the committee has
decided that the lawful interests
of the policy holders and the
means by which the community is
able to check on the management
of the companies, can be achieved
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1949-08-01

under the existing type of organi-
cation.
Some suggestions have been
made by the committee, which
consists of three Social-Demo-
Gratis, one Communist, and one
representative each of the Con-
servatives, the Farmers Union,
and the Peoples Party. 1t thus
recommends a stronger represen-
tation of the policy holders on the
boards of the insurance companies
and check on the premium
rates, not only among the life in
surance firms, which has existed
for some time, but also among
the accident insurance companies.
In addition it suggests the estab-
lishment of a central training or
ganization for the personnel of
the life insurance firms.
The Social-Democratic majority
of the committee further voted
for the socialization of traffic in
surance.
In a special statement, issued
simultaneously with the report, it
urged that Swedish mOtOrcar
owners obligatory insurance be
handled by a special company, in
which the Government own the
majority of shares, appoint the
chairman and the vice chairman,
as well as decide from which
groups of motorists the rest of the
stockholders should he picked.
The representatives of the Con-
servatives, the Farmers, and the
Peoples Party objected to this;
they contended that the existing
strict check is fully adequate to
cope with any emergency.

New Swedish Cure
For Seasickness
Is Very Effective

STOCKHOLM, August. = Dur
ing the past six months, DR.. Erik
Hogberg, ships physician of the
M. S. Stockholm" of the Swedish
American Line, has subjected a
newly discovered Swedish anti
dote for seasickness to a series of
thorough tests.
According to DR.. Hogberg, who
does not hesitate to describe it as
the best preparation of its kind
in the world today, the remedy
proved absolutely effective in
ninety-eight out of a hundred
cases. Passengers who, in ac-
cordance. with his prescriptions. at
the start of trip began to take
one tablet about every five hours
felt not the slightest discomfort,
regardless of the roughness of the
sea. Others, who had not taken
the preparation and later felt ill,
were cured in the course of one
hour.
The remedy is equally effective
in cases of train, automobile, or
air sickness. 1t was discovered by
chance in the laboratories of the
Leo Company, in Halsingborg,
chemists and manufacturers of
pharmaceutical products. 1t is
said to be marketed at a price
approximately twenty-five per
cent of the cost of the best of
competing brands.

billion. Experience in England and
elsewhere shows that, when medical
services are free, everyone insists on
treatment for the most trivial
causes. Doctors are so swamped
that those in real need get very
poor service indeed.
A recent Brookings Institution
survey shows that we have the
best health record of any country
i'm the world, except for a few
small countries which do not
have our wide variation in condi-
tions and types of people. Our
free system of private medicine
has produced the best doctors in
the world, and there are more of
them per unit of population than
in any other country.
Certainly our system can be i'm
proved, but why destroy it when it
has succeeded better than any
other? Freedom has been the key
to the success of the American Re-
public. This is no time to abandon
it for state directed systems in any
field. Nothing could intrude the
Federal bureaucracy into the daily
lives of every American family
more than this national medical
socialism.
THERE are many other things
l. government can do to improve
our system. Government and the
medical profession have done great
job in the field of preventive
medicine. Many of our worst
scourges like typhoid have been
driven out. We are appropriating
millions to check cancer, tubercu-
losis, heart disease and venereal
diseases.
The Senate has passed a bill to
help States to provide periodical

inspection of the health of chill
dren in public, parochiaI and pri-
vate schools. The Senate Com
mittee has approved bill to aid
States to extend their local pub
lie health units to cover the en-
tire State.
We found after the war that our
facilities had fallen behind. The
Federal government is aiding the
States and private hospitals so that
adequate hospital facilities may be
available to all. The Senate Com
mittee has recommended an in
crease in this aid to hospital con-
struction, and also a bill to aid
medical and other schools so that
they may educate more doctors,
dentists, nurses and other health
personnel.
"E are studying plans also to
w aid the States and localities in
providing free medical care for
those unable to pay for it. The
obligation of local government to
do this has been recognized every
where, but there have been gaps in
the performance, particularly in
rural districts, and better job
should be done. If government con-
fines free service to those unable to
pay their way, we do no more than
Anglo-Saxon people have always
done for hundreds of years.
We are also studying the en-
couragement of voluntary health in
surance funds so that real health
insurance can be obtained at pre-
paid cost by all those who desire to
protect themselves against calamity
illness and excessive charges.
There are those who are opposed
to the Federal government giving
any aid to States, cities and coun-
ties. Admittedly, health is primarily
a local responsibility, but many
States are poor and none has the
tax resources of the national
government.
I know of no other way to fill
up the gaps in our system or
quickly to effect substantial inn
provement. All Federal aid legis-
lation which ! have sponsored or
approved leaves complete con-
troll of administration in the
States. Local self-government is
absolutely essential to the main
r tenance of freedom in a country
as large as the United States.
