Nancy Wilson plugs
Easter Seals
Chicago — Nancy Wilson
popular singer and actress,

ing r o le in enlisting public
support for the Easter Seal
campaign a p p e a l February
28 - A p ril 2.
M iss Wilson has already
filmed television spots for t ie
campaign and w ill continue to
speak for Easter Seals through
her m a n y professional night
c lu b and television appear
ances.
Learning to sing before sne
talked. Miss W ilson has trav
elled from her home m Colum
bus, Ohio to all parts of tne
nation, Canada and Europe
spreading her own feeling of
good w ill through song.
‘ ‘ What the w o r ld needs
now,” accord ing to a song pop
ularized by Miss Wilson, " is
love, sweet love." An- she’ has
embarked on a one-woman
campaign prov mg to people
everywhere th a t someone

For several years Miss

encouragement to those wno

people has no racial, class or
age b a rrie r. Nor does her pub
lic appeal, she is devoted to
making life te tte r for all per
sons, particularly those wno
have had misfortunes.
Ask the dentist
This is the fir s t in a senes
of six articles on dental health
published by the Portland Ob
server, m cooperation with tne
American Dental Association,
in
observance of National
C hildren's Dental HealthWeek
February 6 -1 2 .
1 have seen newspaper a rti
cles recently which say that
tooth decay w ill soon be com
pletely eliminated asadisease
problem. Is this really true?
Tooth decay w ill not ce
totally e iminated, at least in
the foreseeable future. How
ever, it can be prever ted in
large part even today if you
take
advantage of proven
public health measure , pro
fessional treatment, and com
plete home care.
One of the well-established
and most effective decay prx-
ventives is fluoridation of
public watei supplies. Today,
more than 92 m illio n people
in this nationdrinkfluoridated
w a t e r . Many communities
have had fluoridated water
supplies fo r more than 20
years.
The experience in these
communities
has demon
strated that fluoridation re
duces the incidence of decay
in children by as much as 60
per cent. Its benefits are
lifelong.
Fluorides are being used in
other ways to prevent decay,
especially fo r people in com
munities that do not have
fluoridation. The American
Dental Association recom
mends the use of fluoride
dent: if ices, particularly tor
children. Additionally, fluo
ride can 1« applied directly on
children’ s teeth at periodic
intervals. Many school dis
tric ts
pro- ide fluoridated
water for school children.
None of t esealte nateuses
of fluoride is as effective as
fluoridation
of community
water supplies, however.
Scientists are studying a
new plastic material which is
applied to tooth surfaces to
seal the pits and fissures In
teeth to provide protection
against to<Xh decay. The pits
and fissures are especially
prone to decay.
Studies of the sealant ha e
shown that it appears to form
a b a rrie r betwee- the tooth
surface and decay-causing
bacteria which are always
present in the mouth. Hre-
lim i. ary investigations indi
cate that the sealar.tmay with
stand chewing forces in tne
mouth for as long as a year.
Because the sealant pro
tects only the chewing sur
faces of teeth, we must s till
rely on fluoridation to protect
the remainder of tie exposed
tooth enamel.
Scientists
are
studying
o tle r metlods of preventing
decay, including tiy.ng to iso
late the specific bactei la
which unite with foods and
other debris tn tie mouth to
form decay- ausing acids.
Even today it is possible to
reduce decay significantly if
you drink fluoridate: water,
practice good oral hygiene
at home, a d see your dentist
for regular checkups.

Heart disease related
to social class
Lonnie Palm er is a black
farm er who eats th e wrong
foods, lives in a drafty tene
ment house, chew s tobacco,
works seven Jays a week, nev
e r takes a vacation, and occas-
sionally drinks a I 1111 e whis
key.
Aubrey Strickland is a white
m an *ho lives m a $40,000
h o m e , keeps a well balanced
diet, rarely drinks and takes a
three w e e k vacation ev e r y
year.
But, according to th e firs t
biracial study of its kind, M r.
Strickland, 3 50 year old bank
executive, is m o r e likely to
suffer a heart attack than M r.
Palmer, a 51 year old share
cropper - not because of race,
hut because he lives at a high
er social status level.
A te n - y e a r investigation,
th e prelim inary results o f
which were published in th e
December issue of the A m eri
can Medical Association’ s A r
chives o f Internal Medicine,
documents a virtual immunity
to coronary disease among the
lower economic classes w ho
work in the rural areas near
Savannah, Georgia.
T h e s tu d y tentatively in
cludes t h a t all low-income
people, regardless o f race,
stand a better chance of avoid
ing heart attacks th a n those
above them on the socio-eco
nomic scale.
"W e think it means that, of
all the ingredients of cardiac
health, life -style is quite p ri-
ma r y ” , s a id D r. C urtis M.
Hames, an Evans County gen-
e r a l practitioner w ho has
guided the study since it began
in I9o0. Like most other doc
tors in rural Southern areas,
he noticed th a t his black pa
tients had fewer heart attacks
than his white patients. Like
many others he concluded it
was a racial tra it. "B u t I be
gan to doubt that assumption
in the mid-l95O’ s when it be
came clear that the same im
munity could be observed in
all of my patients from th e
lower social achievement lev
els,” he recalled.
W ith regard to cardiovascu
la r disease other than heart
attack, th e black Americans,
particularly poor blacks, have
long been more likely to oe
victim s th a n th e wealthier
whites. Blacks suffer from a
fa r higher incidence of h ig h
blood pressure, s t r o k e and
congestive heart failure.
The study Involved 1 total of
3,102 persons o u t of E v a n
County’ s population of 7,000,
including everyone o v e r 40
years of age and half of those
between 15 and 39. A battery
of detailed Interviews ex
plored n o t only the subjects
own personal habits but sought
medical information back sev
eral generations. A variety of
medical t e s t s and periodic
physical examinations w e re
used.
