PAINLESS DENTISTRY COMING UP AT LAST, RESEARCH INDICATES New York ? "Painless" dentis try may be on the way according to the dental scientists. Four bix strides to make the dentist's chair more comfortable already have been taken. They are: 1. The use of small does of pentothal sodium by injection in to a vein in combination with nitrousoxide-exygen for general anesthetics in dental procedures. 2. The use of the sedative, dem erol, with novocain to control ap prehension and pain. 3. The development of a device that delivers a fine spray of water to the cutting point of a dental instrument to reduce fric tional heat in cavity prepara NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby* given that a public hearing will be held at the City Hall on Monday, Jan. 9, 1950 at 7:00 p. m. for the purpose of considering a tentative zoning ordinance and map. The public is urged to be present for this important meeting to hear this plan explained. R. E. KELLE.Y, chairman Boone Zoning Commission tions. A fifth stride toward painless dentistry also is being taken. It is the development of a new in strument, a dental handpiece, based on the air-abrasive, thai cuts through tooth structure by means of a high speed jet of air, carrying a fine abrasive. A group of dental experts at a recent panel discussion at the University of Illinois described the general subject of teeth as an important one in many ways. It was pointed out that* disease of the teeth can cause pain in other parts of the body, and that dis ease in other parts of the body can cause tooth pain. The scientists recalled that the diseased tooth may be the cause of severe facial neuralgias, of disease of the sinus, of enlarge ments of the neck glands. News Oi Service Men Panama City, Fla. ?

Turkey Breeding Bulletin Revised The North Carolina Agricul tural' Experiment Station this week announced publication of a revised bulletin on turkey breed ing. It is Bulletin No. 350, "Im proving Turkey Production," copies of which may be obtained free from the local county agent or by writing the Agricultural Editor, State College Station, Raleigh. Authors of the publication, which contains 24 pages and is amply illustrated with charts and photographs, are R. S. Dearstyne. E. W. Glazener, J. W. Kelly, and C. H. Bostian. Their purpose was to prepare a turkey breeders' handbook based largely on re sults of investigations conducted at the Experiment Station Tur key Farm since 1940. Among the major subjects dis cussed are selected of breeders, poult production, feeding, and mortality of turkeys. The North Carolina turkey industry, they point out, has skyrocketed into a $2,600,000 business during the past few years: its future will depend largely , on quality of breedings flocks produced, over all efficiency of natcheries, and managerial practices of flock owners. The authors state that the use of artificial lights in the laying house brought the station's flock into full egg production two months earlier than in previous years when no lights were used. Morning lights were started by December 1 and gradually in creased so that by December 15 the hens had a 14-hour day. Maximum hatchability of eggs was obtained at the station about April 4. In only one year out of iive was it obtained before March 10 or after April 29.
