county health officer.
The county has three to eight

death from the disease about
two years ago.
Most ticks are harmless, he
emphasized, but there is no way
of knowing by looking which
the harmless ones are and
which are the ones that can
transmit the disease.
Anyone exposed to ticks
should be examined carefully
at least once a day. Children
playing outdoors should be ex-
amined twice a day. All cloth.
ing should be removed and a
careful search made.
Ticks should be removed with
tweezers or a piece of paper, he
said, If the tick is swollen from
feeding, rubber gloves should be
worn. Do not crush the tick in
dislodging it.
The bite should be painted
with iodine or a similar disin.
fectant. Wash hands, tweezers
and gloves well with soap and
water or rinse hands and
tweezers with alcohol.

Heath Department reports.
Twelve years ago, citizens Of
only four Eastern Shore COM
munities, less than $4,000 PEG.
pie, had fluoridated public
water supplies. These areas
have sufficient natural fluor.
ides present SO that the add.
ton of more chemicals is
deemed unnecessary.
This year the public water
supply Of more than two mil
lion Marylanders contains tooth
decay preventing substances.
The Washington Suburban SAM.
fairy Commission began its
fluoridation program in late
1851, while Rockville is entering
IT'S third year of adding one
part of the chemical to each
million parts of water.
Another % Maryland water
districts add fluorides to their
supply, and 10 more areas in
the state are considering such a
program.
The u. s. Public Health Serv-
ice has just completed a survey
Of the effects of fluoridation in
reducing tooth decay in Mont
g0mery County. Data from the
samplings, collected at four
down-county schools should be
available shortly.
Results of a state survey In
Hagerstown, the first commu-
nifty in the state to start such
q program, have been released.
In 1852, over 81 per cent of the
children examined showed
decay in their permanent teeth.
In 1868, only AZ per cent were
found to have such decay.
! In 1852, ~ seven.year-olds
and 16 nine-year-olds had no
decay in their baby teeth. In
1868, 202 seven-year-olds and 131
lline.year-olds were found free
of baby tooth decay.
In 'incindence" of decay-the
actual number of teeth found to
be or to have been decayed-
the evidence was equally
feartening to proponents Of
fluoridation. In 1852 children
z, 9, and 10 years old showed
respectively 1.2, 81, AZ and rs
decayed permanent teeth. The
1868 figures for the same age
groups are SO, SO, 1.6 and "a.
Interchangeable number of
children showing evidence of
tooth decay-was reduced by AZ
per cent in all four age groups.
The reduction among seven
year-olds were almost rs per
cent; among nine-year.olds, 70
per cent.
Survey teams noted a 40 per
cent reduction among 11-year-
olds, and a II per cent reduc.
ton among 13.year-olds. The
Health Department says the
ages of these youngsters 'limit-
ed the fluoridation benefits"
since their water supply was
unfluoridated for the first years
of their lives.

Working out plans for cor
ners can be an absorbing and
rewarding project, partic-
ularly If you force yourself
to avoid obvious and trite
solutions like the neat little
bed Of posies.
Why not consider the cor
ners special areas for rest
and relaxation? Concentrate
on one and convert It to q
peaceful, private nook which
beckons you to come and sit
q while.
The plan could begin with
q mulched bed for greens
which turns the corner at the
fence line. Then, directly in
front Of this, put q simple
garden bench Of Stat con-
struction-Douglas fir 2-by- Is
on edge, spaced slightly and
nailed to q frame Of 2-by-4s
with 4-by-4s for the legs.
Let the bench turn the cor
ner. too. either forming an
L or q curve.
Next, lay out an area in
front Of the bench for river
rock. using small pebbles

close to the bench and some
what larger stones a few feet
distant. Beyond that, the
lawn or ground cover would
begin. Between the rock and
lawn, there would be an edg-
ing strip of some kind, either
a 2-by-4 wood screen or per-
haps brick. The screen acts
as a container for the rock,
but also provides a practical
moving strip for the lawn.
If possible, a small, ground
level reflection pool would be
a welcome addition to the
corner. 1t could be designed
in a fluid shape, and the
water kept fresh and clear by
means of a circulting pump
and filters.
Other ideas for an inviting
corner treatment might be q
rakish little gazebo or per-
haps a simple, shady arbor
built in combination with
garden benches. Or, If living
space is needed, build an in
terest ingly shaped wood
deck with a privacy screen
at the back into one corner.
