EDMISTEN FURNITURE CO Selling Agents for Mrs B. J. Councill 4 Ed S. W;lliams, Auctioneer ! State Dentist Sees Many Children Here The three weeks work of Dr.i E. T. Koonce, Dentist with the Oral Hygiene Division of the State Board of Health, in Wa tauga county reveals much work done and still much to do. Some children from many areas of the county visited the dentist, but many did not get to see him. His allotted time here was not suffi cient to take care of all of those needing attention. Children from Bethel, Blowing Rock, Boone De monstration, Cove Creek, Deep Gap, Elk, Green Valley, Rich Mountain, Rutherwood, Valle Cfrucis, Windy Gap, and Wine barger white schools and the Wa tauga Consolidated Colored school took advantage of Dr. Koonce services during his stay here. Dr. Koonce reports 228 child ren inspected and 226 of them getting some treatment. 143 children were referred to local dentist for further treatment. During the three weeks 104 tee'.h were filled and 145 teeth extracted. Of the teeth filled 126 were six year molars and 16 six year molars had to be extracted. Other treatments such as teeth cleanded and silver nitrate treat ments bring a total of 9<3 opera tions by the dentist in the three weeks period. Of the children re ceiving attention from the den tist at this time 16 were of pre school age and 56 were repeaters in school. It is evident that this report is only a beginning of the work that needs to be done in the county.
