Duplin County's Preventive
Dental Health Program
Is Saving Dollars
Parents of school age chil
dren in Duplin County are
being saved many dollars
and school children are being
saved much pain by pre
venting dental decay, said
Joe L. Costin, director of the
Duplin County Health De
partment. The results of a
six-year study have been
provided by Dr. Richard F.
Murphy, regional dental con
sultant of the N.C. Health
Services division of Green
ville. Study results show a 38
percent in dental cavities
among elementary and junior
high school students parti
cipating in the dental pro
gram.
The Droeram consists of a
weekly fluoride mouth rinse
and school water fluoridation
and was begun in 197S under
the direction of Mrs. Grace
Newton, public health dental
hygienist. The school water
fluoridation is maintained by
personnel from the N.C.
dental health section in
Greenville, by the mainte
nance personnel of the
Duplin school system under
the direction of J.L. Rhodes,
and by a specially selected
person at each school.
Mrs. Newton supervises
the mouth rinse (swish) pro
gram and provides dental
health education for all the
county's school age popula
tion. She stated that she is
very proud to be a part of a
preventive dental program
which is saving teeth for the
children. "The citizens of our
county have been most in
terested and helpful and I am
pleased to be a part of this
effort," said Mrs. Newton.
Along
tha Way
?Imlly
Americans are free to
travel without any restric
tions. During World War II,
Americans were hit by a
gasoline shortage which
resulted in a rationing pro
gram and later restrictions
on the use of fuel.
An article in the January
7, 1943 issue of the DUPLIN
TIMES announced driving
restrictions for American
motorists. Pleasure driving
was banned and a warning
issued against breaking the
restrictions. Violators would
? lose their ration cards.
Ration cards "A", "B"
and "C" t ,jld he used ?o
purchase gasoline for a
family or personal necessity
when no other adequate
transportation was available.
Gasoline could be purchased
for use in occupational
travels. Naval and military
personnel under transfer
orders or on leave or fur
lough could use ration cards
to purchase fuel for driving
to visit relatives or making
social calls.
Pleasure driving was
banned in the 17 Eastern
seaboard states and the Dis
trict of Columbia, effective
Thursday. Jan. 7. 1943. Road
checks were planned from
Maine to Florida to help
enforce the new rationing
restrictions. Listed as plea
sure driving were trips to
amusement and recreation
centers such as: theatres,
dances, golf courses, bowl
ing alleys, night clubs,
sporting or athletic events,
sightseeing, touring, vaca
tion travel and social calls
except those for military and
naval personnel on leave or
furlough under transfer.
Local gas rationing boards
were given discretion to
judge the necessity of driv
ing in cases not specifically
mentioned in the pleasure
driving restrictions.
Today, Americans who did
not live during WWII find
rationing and driving re
strictions hard to imagine.
Pleasure driving probably
makes up the largest type of
driving done by the average
American family. Citizens
have learned to car pool to
work and combine shopping
trips to cut down on fuel
consumption and cost. But.
Americans still enjoy vaca
tion trips and pleasure driv
ing regardless of the cost and
in the past several weeks the
price of gasoline has been
decreasing.
