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.

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.
Duncan asked a committee to
study the program.
One of the issues the new
committee will look into is
whether to raise the scores
needed to pass the test.
Another is whether the age
waiver requirement for 16
and 17-year-olds should be
revised.

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.
