—■ II ■ _ / For Vet Enrollment : Swing School Terms to Be Last Opportunity, Says VA The spring school terms, starting early in 1954, mark the last enroll ment opportunity under the Korean GI Bill for thousands of post-Korea vetetans, the Veterans Administration The reason, VA explained, is that the new’s cut-off date of August 20, 1954, (eight months away) applies to Korean veterans separated from ser vice'before August 20, 1952. If they want GI training, they must begin by the 1954 deadline in order to continue afterwards. The deadline, however, comes be fore next fall’s school term gets un der way. Therefore, except for the suipmer session, the school term start ing early in 1964 will offer many vet- I erans their last opportunity to get started under the Korean GI Bill. h Veterans who left service after Au gust 20, 1952, need not concern them selves with the forthcoming 1954 cut off date, VA said. Instead, they have two years from the date of their sep aration in which to begin GI training. Under the law, a veteran actually must “enroll in and begin” training before his deadline, if he wants to go on with it afterwards. The mere fil ing of art application beforehand, with the intention of starting afterwards, is not enough, VA pointed out. Generally, the veteran will be ex pected to be in the classroom or at the training bench on his deadline date. But so Idng as he started in time, he may be permitted to inter rupt his course because of the sum mer vacation, or for other reasons be yond his control, or for any circum stances that VA deems to be excus able. VA emphasized that these cut-off date rules apply only to veterans training under the Korean GI Bill. They do not pertain to those enrolled under the original World War Two GI Bill.

D.D.S m m > The Council on Dental Health of the North Carolina Dental So ciety is sponsoring this series of < articles on Dental Health. The i writer, Dr. Ernest A. Branch, is the Director of the Division of Oral Hygiene of the North Caro lina State Board of Health. A New and Better Day for You and Your Dentist People who long for the “good old days” certainly must not have a visit to the dentist in the offing. Or per 1 haps they have forgotten Great Uncle Jasper’s dramatic accounts of some of his experiences in the dental chair— a very different contraption from the ' sleek ones we occupy today. If any nostalgia still persists, we recom mend a visit to the Oral Hygiene , Building to view a display of dental instruments used in the early days. Dentally speaking, we are indeed , fortunate not to have been bom 100 ' years too soon, for we are the inheri- ' tors and beneficiaries of nhenominal ' advancements in dental science. The great impetus for this progress was the founding of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery in 1840. Today, there are 43 Dental Schools in the I United States. And one of these is I in North Carolina, a part of our State ■ University. This should be a source of pride and gratitude to all of us. . Ours is one of the newer schools. It ji« so new that, at the end of this j school year, degrees will be conferred 'on the first graduating class, j These and the graduates of the I other dental schools will have received j very thorough and exacting training. The young man i.r woman who is ac | cep ted for entrance to a Dental School , n rst, first of all measure up .in his ' or her undergraduate academic stand ing; aptitude tests; and credentials as to health, character, and personality. He must, then, complete four years of professional education ;and, final ly, pass rigid examinations •in order to secure license to practice his heal |ing art. We believe that one who has l successfully met all of these require i ments is to be congratulated and trusted to make his contribution to our health, happiness and appearance. The new approach in dental re search and practice is one of preven tion. This means not only preven tion of the necessity for repairing or extracting teeth, but also, prevention of illnesses that can be traced to un healthy dental conditions. Research points the way, and the dental prac- ,THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON. N. C., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1958. . titioner interprets and applies the I findings for his patients. An example | of this is furnished by the recent dis- 1 coveries as to the causes and preven- 1 tion of tooth • decay. Organized den tistry has not only sponsored this re search but has also promoted pro grams for informing the people. Your dentist and mine can advise us how to apply the newer knowledge to our own particular cases. The work in fluoridation offers another example. Is is to the dental profession that credit is due for painstaking research in this field of prevention. Improve ment in dental health conditions has not kept pace with the achievements of dental science for the reason that we do not heed the admonitions of our friends, the dentists. Most of us have dental problems. The only person who can help solve them is the dentist. And he can do it, in this new day, with a minimum of discomfort to the patient and a maxi mum of returns in terms of heath and appearance. Going to your dentist is not so costly as failing to go. In the next article Dr. Branch will 'give parents some pointers for help-' ing their children to regard the den-! tist as a friend. Jim S. Lassiter Dies After Long 1 Illness Jim S.
