Dental health plans lor school children A tooth decay preventive program will be starting in April in the elementary schools in Morrow County. Children in kindergarten through 6th grade will receive a toothbrush and be taught how to brush their teeth properly at school. Instruc tions will point out proper home care of the teeth. Proper diet, regular dental check-ups, prescribed fluorides (or fluo ridated water) and topical fluorides are needed to control tooth decay. The most effective and inexpensive way to reduce dental decay in a community is through water fluoridation, according to Mrs. Tiny Sweeney, Morrow County health nurse. In some cases, however, this is not possible and other alternatives must be sought to derive the benefits of flounde for children's teeth. In recent years various methods have been used in school populations to achieve a healthier dentition. It is well known that flourides applied to newly erupted teeth can significantly increase their resistance to decay. Studies and "observations in class rooms have shown that weekly A benelii dinner for Bill Gates The lone Cardinal Club will sponsor a special benefit dinner and activity evening on March 10 in the school cafetonum for the Bill Gates family. Gates has been stricken with cancer and is undergoing extensive medical treatment. The proceeds from the eve ning's activities will all go to the family to help with the mounting costs involved. A spaghetti dinner will be served from 5 to 6:30 p.m. There will be a cake walk, while elephant auction and an exhibition basketball game with the lone girls playing the "L'nPlayers." For those w ho are unable to attend but would like to help, cash donations may be mailed to the Bill Gates Family Benefit in care of Cardinal Club President Mrs. Mary Ann Palmer, lone, Oregon. The committee in charge of the white elephant auction is asking for donations. They may left at the home of Mrs. Howard Crowell, Mrs. George Griffith, or at the lone branch, Bank of Eastern Oregon. rinses with a .2 per cent sodium flouride solution can be most useful in prevention of dental caries. This ha been most clearly demonstrated in a 5-year study in two Portland schools where decay was reduced up to 50 per cent. A weekly fluoride mouth rinse will be conducted in the schools. This helps to make the teeth more resistant to decay. Only children with a signed permission form by parents will rinse weekly with the fluoride, Mrs. Sweeney said. Permission forms will be sent to parents in the near future. This program is not a substitute for toothbrushing at home, fluoridation of public water (or fluorides prescribed by a dentist or physician), or the topical fluorides to chil dren's teeth by a dentist. Together with an affirma tive and consistent program in health education and daily brushing, the sodium fluoride rinse will provide protection against oral disease among children. This program is co-sponsored by the local schools, health department, dental society and the Oregon State Health Division.
