SECTION TWO—] New Holiday Traffic Control Plan Started By Highway Patrol Extra Efforts Planned To Help Reduce High way Accidents The State Highway Patrol has open ed a “holiday traffic control plan” in an effort to reduce motor deaths and injuries over the forthcoming Christ mas holidays. The project went into effect unan nounced but Motor Vehicles Commis sioner Edward Scheidt outlined it in a new conference with reporters. The Commissioner said the project will make extensive use of electronic speed recorders and daily “satura tion” patrolling. “From now until the end of the year we intend to keep our radar and elec tronic speed recorders in constant use] throughout the state,” Scheidt said.) “This plus day and night saturation patrols may help to cut down holiday fatalities.” Under the saturation plan, hereto fore mainly a week-end project, pa- ; trolmen will rove assigned stretches of ten miles or so along an unspecified ; number of roads daily. Scheidt also said all the Highway Patrol’s speed recording equipment would be pressed into service, plus other units to be in use by local en forcement agencies. He hinted that ; delivery of ten more “Speedwatch” de vices might come at any moment. The “Speedwatch” instruments use twin cables stretched across the road and compute speed by a stopwatch Scheidt warned holiday travelers that the devices are likely to be worked in tandem, that is two or more may be set up within a few miles of bach ' other. From Highway Patrol headquarters, 1 Commander James R. Smith said a l ' majority of his men had volunteered to work through the holiday, thus 1 making “safety coverage” about as complete as possible. He urged motorists to drive at rea sonable speeds on holiday trips and to keep a close watch on pedestrians. 1 Scheidt said last year’s official holi- 1 day period began at 6:00 P. M., De cember 24 and extended through mid- 1 night, December 28. Sixteen persons were killed and 255 injured during that period, the Commissioner said.

C., THURSDAY. DECEMBER 24, 1953. (mil Teeth—For Tin, Tor OHM Your Community By ERNEST A. BRANCH, D.D.S I t The Council on Dental Health of the North Carolina Dental So ciety is sponsoring this series of articles on Dental Health. The writer, Dr. Ernest A. Branch, is the Director of the Division of Oral Hygiene of the North Caro lina State Board of Health. Sugar Plums and Dental Health “While visions of sugar plums danced through their heads”—Though sugar plums have given way in the pre-Christmas visions of the young fry to more elaborate and costly sur prises from Santa, the traditional candy and nuts will be found in the stockings on Christmas morning. By most children they will be accepted as a matter of course and with little ex citement. Many of us wish that the Christmas confections could be the real treat for today’s children that they were for their grandparents. The main difference now between Christ | mas and the rest of the year is that the Yuletide candies, cookies, and cakes are more plentiful, beautiful, and tempck’g. In fact, they are so alluring—look through the current is sue of any of the ladies’ magazines— that we hesitate to remind you of the other side of the picture, that is, of their potentialities as hazards to den tal health We are not even going to suggest that we deny our children, or our selves, sweets during the holiday sea son. But we would advise a realistic view of the matter and some measures to reduce the hazards. Now, for the realistic view, let’s look in the mouths of our children, of our neighbors’ children, and of all children whom we may have occasion to observe. Then, let’s check just a little to see how often they are eat ing sweets between meals. Many of us will find that before one supply is out of their mouths another is in. With this set-up just described and with our own erildren as living wit nesses to the theory that sugars re maining in th» mouth are converted into decay producing acids, it would seem to be an opportune time for par • ents to become really interested and concerned. ■ Genuine concern and some thought and ingenuity applied to the problem can result in satisfying the sweet tooth with a minimum of damage to it. We make these very simple and obvious suggestions to parents. 1. Sweet cakes and candies for des sert —after rather than before and be tween meals. 2. Provide fresh fruits, popcorn, and nuts for between meal snacks. 3. Plan desserts that contain milk or cream and fruits. 4. Remind, if necessary require, children to brush their teeth immedi ately after eating—especially after eating sweets. This last suggestion needs emphasis. Brushing the teeth thoroughly after eating is one of the best ways of re ducing dental decay. We would add one last admonition ToJltluot (M I 666 08 TUUTt-MME FAST AfUCF • MANGE MEDICINE ciw.roi.di fro motes healing and hair growth to severe mange, here spots, moist fungi—or money back). • SKIN BALM (for itching fungus, dry rough skin.
