SECTION ONE- Burlap Bags Go From ’Rags to Riches 9 j Elizabeth Cowan, designer, displays colorful window curtains, table runner, skirt and apron she made from dyed burlap bags. Here’s a new, exciting and budget-wise use for burlap feed bags. With a little simple needlework and some all-fabric dyes you can trans form them into all kinds of colorful clothing and home furnishings. This newest budget-stretching idea is the result of research jointly undertaken by the Tintex Home Economics Bureau and the Burlap Council. Detailed directions on how to make these “rags-to-riches” marvels are all summed up in an eight-page illustrated folder written for these organizations by the designer, Elizabeth Cowan. The articles pictured above are but a few of her tintexed burlap creations. To prepare a bag for dyeing, open the seams by pulling the thread of chain stitching, shake out remaining feed or dust and stitch the raw edges to prevent raveling. Next, place the burlap in a tub or washing machine filled with warm soap suds, soak for a couple of hours and wash to remove printing. The dyeing process is the same as for other fabrics. You’ll find burlap a wonderful fabric of character that’s easy to work with. The folder, entitled “How to Make Beautiful Articles from Burlap Bags,” is obtainable free from Tintex Home Economics Bureau, 48f Fifth Avenue, New York 17, N. Y.

We Present Your Friend—the Dentist The admonition, “see your dentist twice a year.” is familiar and is one that many of u< follow. Today, we want to, introduce vour dentist to you. Even though you may ride up and down in his chair twice a year, live next door to him, go fishing with him, and know him so well that you use his first , name rather than hjs title, you may not fully appreciate that “D.D.S.” which appears after his name in professional usage and which stands for doctor of dental surgery. In pre senting your dentist to you we review some of the history of his profession. Dentistry is a specialty of medicine. 1 MOTORS I I / announce the | Ijappointment off! j | _ _ ★ We are proud to have been selected to represent <> J Evinrude—the first name in outboard motors!

Today, .the empha sis in dentistry is on prevention rath- - jer than on repair. I This has not always heen true. In ; fact, it is a very new and modern con cention of the dental art even in the minds of the members of the profes sion. The following quotation bears this out. In his book, PERSONAL RECOLLECTIONS OF A DENTIST IN THE EARLY DAYS. Dr. Bristol says. "Dentists never recognized a lady or a clergyman in public, how ever, intimate they were in private, I lest any might say he had been put ting in teeth for them.” To understand and appreciate this shift in emphasis from mere mechani- j cal work, filling teeth and making re-! placements, to that of prevention, it 1 ; is necessary to know' something of the . history of dentistry. There are few records dealing with the beginnings of dentistry, but recent j archaeological discoveries and excava i THE CHOWAN HERALD. EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 1954. tions reveal that dental ills have al ways attended man and that dentist ry, as a craft, has long been practiced. The skeleton remains of the Rhodees ian man indicate that he had suffer ed from dental caries or decay. Pros thetic appliance, the professional term for false teeth and bridges, have been found in the mouths of Egyptian mum mies. Among the relics of the Incas, Aztecs, and other Central and South American people are teeth with inlays of gold, turquoise, and even diamonds. From the writings of Aristotle it appears that extraction of teeth was common among the ancient Greeks, but there is no evidence that there were people who concerned themselves solely with the treatment of teeth. The fact that false teeth came in for their share of derision by the Roman satirists is proof that removable ar tificial teeth were in use. These scattered evidences of dental work are more interesting than they are significant. The work was pre- , formed for purposes of adornment or utility and not as a health measure. A few physicians, notably Hippocrates, recognized dental ills as being relat ed to health. ’ Dental historians regard the middle of the 18th century as the beginning of modern dentistry. In 1728 Pierre Fauchard. a French scientist and sur geon, published a book entitled, “The j Surgeon Dentist,” which became the guide and text for those studying den tistry. During the next century the French dentists led the world, but af ter the 18th century America took the lead and has maintained preeminence 1 in the field. The early days of dentistry in j America are quite interesting. Gold- ' smiths, jewelers, blacksmiths and bar bers were the most numerous prac- : titioners of dentistry. Paul Revere was not only a horseman, goldsmith, printer, and engraver, but also, a den- j ( tist.

Russell & Holmes Ai Harris, who later founded the Bal timore College of Dental Surgery. In 1840, three events of great import ance—the founding of the above men tioned Dental College, the organiza tion of the first national dental socie ty, and the publication of the first dental journal—laid the foundations for the scientific progress of dentistry. Os course, modem dentistry owes much to the developments in the basic sciences upon which it is built: the cell theory of biology; Pasteurs dis coveries in bateriology and the subse quent use of antiseptics; the use of surgical anesthesia, the first public demonstration for which was made by a dentist; the discovery of the X-ray in physics; and, more recently, the work in nutrition in the field of bio chemistry. The application of the findings of i these sciences to normal and abnormal j conditions of the mouth and teeth has | changed dentistry from a mere craft | to a science—a science which has so its purpose not only the alleviation of! suffering, but also the prevention of J many dental diseases and systemic di seases of dental origin. i Mrs. Ernest J.
