In its second year, the free school-based program was offered at Grant and Prairie City school districts. Of 766 students, 48 percent returned consent forms, 37 percent received screenings, 32 percent received flu- oride applications and 10 percent received dental sealants, according to a report by the Eastern Oregon Healthy Living Alliance. The program was expanded this year to ceiving fluoride, 14 percent receiving dental sealants and 60 percent receiving oral health education through a learning lab. The four counties are considered rural, where 73 percent of children ages 6-9 have already had a cavity, compared to the state average of 52 percent. Fluoride application can result in 43 per- cent fewer cavities on permanent teeth, and dental sealants reduce cavity risk by 80 per- cent. The Oregon Children’s Dental Health Initiative awarded a $70,000 grant to pro- vide the program next year. For more infor- mation, visit eohla.org/programs.

He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR, have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE. Then it’s too late.
