IU.S. For those who were unable to win the fight against dental disease and have lost their natural teeth, if they are to have a denture, there are some game rules that should be followed. A denture is a well fitted device which fits over the remains of our dental arches. The fact that there are hills and valleys of bone in the mouth is what helps the denture to remain stable. Now with time the bone under the denture begins to melt away which then allows the denture to become mobile or loose, the teeth don't seem to come together the same, and a simple smile allows the teeth to fall. There are, of course, remedies to these problems. However, I want to address myself to hygienic ways of slowing the process of bone loss down. It must be realized that when a new denture is given to you a dentist will tell you to wear it all the time. What is meant by this is that a denture should be worn all the time during an adjustment period to find and eliminate sore spots or to allow for proper bone healing after surgical placement of dentures. A denture should not be worn all the time. Specifically, during the hours of sleep a denture should be removed and placed in a solution of water. The reason being that after a full day of chewing, talking and swallowing, the tissue under the denture has been traumatized and squeezed. This tissue and the periostium. the tissue which covers the bone, have had their circulation impaired. The bone, which doesn't have its own blood supply, depends on its nutrient supply from the periostium, the same tissue which has been squeezed and traumatized. Therefore, if we can give this tissue a chance to rejuvinate and heal itself, we will find proper bone health. If there is inflamed or trauma tized tissue it will resorb or melt away allowing the den ture to become loose over a period of time. There are people who may never have this problem, due to certain bone factors but only time will tell. A program of denture hy geine, then, would be to remove the denture during sleeping hours and allow them to stand in water or a plaque removing solution. Then, upon awakening, cleaning the den ture to remove debris and bacteria. It would also be a good idea to remove dentures after each meal, when conve nient, to clean food off and under them. y , 4""".' t - ' ; Tara Mahoney chosen princess of Spray Rodeo Tara Mahoney has been chosen as a princess on the Spray N.R.A.

Verne A. Duncan. The GED. an alternative to the high school diploma, is issued to about 9.000 Oregon ians annually after they suc cessfully complete a series of national tests. The average age of a GED recipient is 24. Because of changes in the national program and criti cism from some who said the GED is too easy of an alternative to the diploma.

AJv. Pmid for By Commit To Eltct Hm-go Sbrrrr x The Future Of The Roads Depends On You On Tuesday, May 20, Morrow County citizens will vote on the county budget request. The largest increase in the budget is for the Road Department whose requirements have been raised from $889,000 to 11,511,000. The Morrow County Road Advisory Committee has made several recommendations to the County Court which are reflected in the proposed budget. Primarily, the county should embark on a five-year plan to resurface, rebuild, and update the county road system. (The road system consists of 357 miles of paved road, 400 miles of gravel road and 300 miles of secondary gravel and dirt road.) Included in the budget request is money to reseal 60 miles of existing paved roads in the summer of 1980. Also included in the budget are the following road construction projects: ' Complete the rebuilding of the Bombing Range Road. Rebuild E. Wilson Road from Olsen Road to Miller Lane. Rebuild the Olsen Road Extension north of the Freeway. The Road Advisory Committee feels that the County Court and the County Director of Public Works are working diligently to improve the county road system and the operation and efficiency of the County Road Department. We urge you to vote yes on the county budget.
