JULY 14. 1MB Fluoridation Value Noted in Research Corvalii - More dramatic evidence of the value of water fluoridation in preventing tooth decay has come from an Oregon State college dental health study of Corvallls and Philomath school children. Pronounced reductions in tooth decay are credited to fluoride, which was added to the Corvallis-Philomath water supply starting in 1953. The research findings are in keeping with a long-term fluoride studies made else where in the U.

Two western regional stud ies reported last and this sum mer by OSC showed that ben eficial amounts of fluoride in water supplies reduced tooth decay as much as 55 per cent among boys and girls from 10 to 18 in Oregon, Washing ton, Idaho, Montana, Utah and Wyoming. In the current Corvallis- Philomath study, dental rec ords of native born and rear ed children, ages 5 to 12, were compared on a before and after fluoridation" basis. Care ful dental checks had been made of children in this age group just before fluoridation was initiated seven years ago in the water supply that serves the two communities. Findings from these checks were then measured against results of examinations made this winter on more than 1,200 children now in the same age bracket. Significant Reductions Significant reductions in the number of cavities and other tooth problems were found in every age this year compared to the poor records of 1953. Furthermore, a d d i tional benefits are yet to come, ac cording to Dr. Gertrude Tank, because full value of water fluoridation on the teeth of children is not realized before 10 or 12 years - the time it takes a permanent tooth to develop. Dr. Tank, a children's den tist in Germany and Phila delphia before coming to OSC as a dental scientist, is in charge of the project. Dr. Demetrios M. Hadjimarkos, now on the University of Ore gon dental school staff in Portland, made the 1952 ex aminations of children prior to addition of fluoride in the water supply.

Some large high schools in the state are stereotyped. They don't adapt to changing needs and conditions, And it seems almost unrea sonable to continue advanced mathematics, science and for eign language classes in some small Oregon high schools be cause enrollment is so small. These stinging conclusions are contained .In two reports to the Legislative Interim committee on Education from the University of Oregon's Bureau of Educational Re search. The reports, requested by the committee, said the in vestigation involved so many minuses and pluses that a general rating for Oregon's public schools was impossi ble. Different Levels Speaking of grade schools, the report states it would be "totally unrealistic to claim that all of the larger schools provide broad, well-rounded and complete educational prosrams and that all of the smaller schools provide only minimum programs." The researchers found that "different communities have different levels of expecta tion for the performance of their schools." "In some communities it is apparent that the elementary school is little, if any better than a day-care custodial in stitution - and probably docs a very poor job of it," the re port says. In contrast it was found that in other communities, large and small, "every effort is being made within the lim itations of the resources available to provide a broad, rich and purposive education program for the children," No specific communities or schools were named. Poor use of Teachers The secondary report says that in certain small high schools, "enrollments in ad vanced mathematics, science, foreign language and even vo cational areas are so small that one wonders if the at tempt to maintain them is reasonable," These smaller secondary schools make "very poor" use of teachers, the report said. Evaluation Recommended The report concludes: "It is difficult, if not im possible, to determine a sin gle level of breadth or of quality in the secondary schools of the state. The best is probably as good as exists in almost any part of the country. The poor est is probably as bad . . . Change and adaptability, can probably not be legislat ed, but it can be encourged - and the encouragement of credit cards accepted Improvement Is a constani re sponsibility of the state. A detailed evaluation of all, aspects of Oregon's high school program was recom mended. The elementary report says one of Its most Important findings is a strong link be tween high-quality teachers and staff and a high-quality educational program. This runs to rapport with school boards, general morale in the school and educating the community on the need for allocating sufficient funds for schools. Married Couples At OSC Will Have No House Problem Corvallis - Married couples who plan lo attend OrcRon State collece this fall will have no difficulty In finding satisfactory housing In Cor vallis, according to the office of the dean of men. Apartments are gradually filling up now for this fall, but the couples who do their apartment hunting In July or early August will get their choice. In addition, Oregon State college will have ample room for all freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors who wish to live in dormitories thus fall. There is no critical housing shortage for single students on campus or in town. OSC can house more than 3,000 students in nn-campus residence halls. And an addi tional 1.6S0 men and 760 women can be housed in the 31 fraternities and 16 sorori ties near the campus. Apartment rents vary from $55 to S90 a month. Apart ments rented for some time average about $60 a month. Newer apartments rent from $75 up for a one-bedroom and from $80 to $90 for two bed rooms. The dean of men's office reports there is little differ ence on the rent charges be tween furnished and unfur nished older apartments. Charges on all usually include water and garbage collection. Occupants pay for electricity or gas or oil for light, heat or cooking. Couples with children will experience a "little more" dif ficulty in finding an apart ment, officials said. Some 1,600 married couples live in Corvallis housing while at tending Oregon State. Anoth er 900 single men live in off campus rooms in Corvallis homes. An adequate number of rooms for under graduate men and graduate men and women are available in Cor vallis. Batching apartments are "somewhat scarce," but there is ample places to board. Ferry From Venice Of Hydrofoil Design Venice, Italy - (Sc. 1 e n e I Service) - A new type of ferry -using a hydrofoil hull - has just been put into service be tween Venice and Trieste, across 80 miles of sea. The ferry, "Freccla dell' Adrl- atlco," built by Leopoldo Rodriquez at Messina, is a new departure in past passenger-carrying ships. Operated by the Societa Aliscafi, the ferry operates on a twice -daily run in each direction. The vessel is equip ped with a 1,500 horsepower Mercedes motor. The power developed is such that the ferry rises out of 'the water within a few yards of "take off" and proceeds to skim the surface on the hydrofoils at an average speed of 40 to 45 knots, there being a clear space of about 24 Inches be tween the hull and the surface I of the water. She carries' 76 passengers in comfortable alrcrnft-typc seats, and covers each 80-mile trip in a scheduled two hours. Although the new service has only been in operation for a few weeks, Its success has already brought contracts for similar Italian-built hydro foils for ferry service In Nor way and Finland.
