The majority of these people leave

many recipients have no skills and
little education and require some sort

have welcomed opportunities to get

check early for any minute sign of
decay or any malformation which
might lead to orthodontic problems
when the child is older.
The fact that your child does not
“seem to have any cavities” does
not mean that some decay may not
be present. In fact, the American
Dental Association has found that
dental patients under 4 years of age
have an average of three teeth need
ing fillings.
When a child is exposed to routine
treatment at an early age, he rarely
develops the fear which many adults
have so long associated with dental
treatment.
The importance of good care for
the primary or "baby" teeth cannot
be overemphasized. A child needs his
primary teeth, as he does his perma
nent ones, for chewing, for speaking
and for appearance. Also, these first
teeth hold the space for the perma
nent teeth to come.

My 14-year-old son has been told by
his dentist that he has 12 cavities,
which the dentist plans to fill. Is
there anything my children can do to
keep from having so much tooth de

There are simple rules which, if
followed faithfully, can help to reduce
decay. These are:
1. Cut down on sweets, especially
between meals.
2. Brush teeth immediately after
eating (snacks as well as regular
m eals.) When this is not possible,
rinse your mouth thoroughly with
water.
3. Have regular dental checkups.

Why is the old age assistance pro
gram declining when we have a larg
er aged population than ever?
More and more people are covered
by social security. Many people need
assistance only when their physical
condition reaches a point where they
are no longer able to care for them
selves and nursing home care is now
provided under the Medical Assist
ance for the Aged program rather
than Old Age Assistance program.

No. Assistance can be provided to
persons living out of state for only a
temporary period of not more than
two months. After that time, the re

there is medical evidence of inability
to do so. Otherwise the grant is dis
continued.

The recipient must pay a certain
amount for his food stamps out of his
grant. However, the “bonus” stamps
he receives do not reduce his grant
since the purpose of the Food Stamp
Program is to provide better nutri

Why isn’t the assistance grant re

Oregon’s tentative official traffic
death toll for 1964 set a new all-time
record for the state, wiping out a
record set in 1963 when deaths top
ped the 500 mark for the first time.
The 577 deaths reported so far
from 1964 accidents represent a two
percent increase over the 563 re
ported in 1963, according to the 'Traf
fic Safety and Education Division of
the Department of Motor Vehicles.
The figure may be revised upward
or downward as delayed reports are
received, or if persons injured die
later as a result of the injuries.
The official state figure is slightly
lower than that reported by one wire
service, since the state figure in
cludes only those deaths occurring on
public streets and highways.
Officials said the death toll in
cluded 158 people who were thrown
from their vehicles at the time of
impact. These people, they said,
might have been saved had they
been wearing seat belts.
