An adequate, properly balanced diet during these years ! of growth and development will i be conducive to good dental neaitn. What foods comprise a well balanced diet? The so-called protective foods which include milk and milk products, vegetables and fruits, iwhol gram creals and breads grain creals and eggs, lean meats, poultry and i the project. Early action is neccs fish. I sarv, Lindsten said, since control Is sugar needed for a balanced I diet? Yes. within reasonable limits. However, nutrition specialists as sert that most Americans con sume so much sugar that our national diet is far overbalanced on the sweet side. A reduction in consumption of sugar in all its forms would result not only in a better balanced diet but in im proved dental health since sugar is considered one of the chief causes of tooth decay. Should candy be included in a child's diet? In a candy-conscious nation like ours it is exceedingly diffi cult to withhold candy from chil dren. But there is unquestion able evidence that their dental health would be Improved if popcorn, nuts and fruits could be substituted for candy. A prop erly balanced die contains suffi cient amounts of carbohydrates without addition of the concen trated forms found in candies, jams and jellies. Does calcium taken in tablet form benefit the teeth? Nutritionists tell us that al most all children can obtain the calcium they need from a well balanced diet. If that diet con tains enough milk a quart a day for children, a pint a day for adults together with ade- quate arnount, 0f the other basic foods, the body will receive all the calcium and phosphorus needed for normal nutrition.

Lindsten will be assisted by W. J. Buckhorn, Portland, of the bureau of entomology and plant quarantine. Infested branch specimens will be placed in rearing cages and the insects counted as they emerge. Buckhorn will collect specimens in the Blue mountains and Mt. Hood area and Lindsten in the Sisters region and in western Oregon. Can Make Plans Lindsten said that knowledge of the life habits of the pest will enable the department to make advance plans accordingly. The budwarm hatches in July ana the small caterpiller immediate ly hibernates in the bark of the branches. Within a few days after twig specimens are placed in the cages, the young calerpillcrs will come out and can be counted. The entomologist said that suc cess ot the spring control pro ject, which will cover one million acres of Oregon forests, hinges on congressional appropriation iif the S800.000 federal share ot work must start in June and time is needed to get the DDT mixture ready and arrangements tor air strips and 70 planes made.
