Meeting Slated By Publishers
By PETE IVEY
CHAPEL HILL-When the
newspapermen come to Chapel
Hill this weekend for the annual
Tips To Curb
Dental Plaque
This is the second in a series
of six articles on dental
health published by (The
Chowan Herald), in
cooperation with the
Chowan Dental Society, in
observance of National
Children’s Dental Health
Week, February 4-10
Well, now I’m pretty
convinced that it’s important to
control dental plaque so I can
prevent being afflicted by decay
and gum disease. But just how
do I go about it?
Essentially, you must develop
good home oral hygiene habits
; to effectively clean the teeth at
least once a day to disrupt the
plaque-forming process. And, of
course, you should continue to
. have periodic professional
check-ups to make sure your
efforts are keeping things under
control.
Learning the basics of a good
: home program begins with the
disclosing tablet. These tablets
are made up of harmless
: vegetable dyes that stain
plaque. After chewing a tablet,
rinse your mouth out with
water. Then observe the areas
that are stained so you can see
just where the plaque is located.
: You might want to use a mouth
mirror to see the back sides of
the teeth.
The toothbrush, if used
properly, will remove a major
portion of plaque, Use an end
rounded, soft-bristled brush and
gently scrub the outside and
inside surfaces of the teeth until
the stain is gone. Then,
vigorously scrub the biting
surfaces on the tops of the teeth.
Now, examine the teeth to see
where stained areas still
ren 'll.'. Most likely, you will
find the greatest concentration
in tiie crevices between the
tee’.n. These areas can be
cleaned by using dental floss.
The floss should be worked
between the teeth and each side
of the tooth should be scraped
by the floss.
A word of caution: let your
dentist show you exactly how to
use floss. Improper usage can
injure sensitive gum tissue.

Institute, under auspices of the
University, they will be
observing the 100th anniversary
of the N. C. Press Association -
formed at Goldsboro in 1973,
with Major J. A. Engelhard of
Wilmington the first president.
North Carolina’s newpapers,
from the beginnings at New
Bern, roughly a century before
the formation of the press
association at Goldsboro, came
together at an assembly called
by Williams Biggs of Tarboro.
Thirty newspapers were
represented at the first meeting
in Goldsboro -- these papers
including the Raleigh Sentinel,
Greensboro Patriot, Charlotte
Observer, Asheville Citizen,
Wilmington Journal,
Hillsborough Recorder,
Statesville Intelligencer,
Lumberton Robesonian,
Newbem Journal of Commerce,
Concord Sun, Kinston Gazette,
Tarboro Southerner, Hickory
Tavern Press, Weldon News,
Louisburg Courier, Henderson
Tribune, Battleboro Advance.
The meetings in the next few
years of the new association
were held in Raleigh,
Wilmington, Charlotte,
Catawba Spring (near
Hickory), Asheville, Winston,
Elizabeth City and Waynesville.
The publishers and editors
talked about their
responsibilities for improved
journalism, advertising rates,
and the glories of North
Carolina. Invariably, the
annual conventions featured an
“orator”, usually a fellow
newspaperman. Often the
association was teated to poems
-- the latter written by young
ladies (one of them was the
official poet of the press
association). Zeb B. Vance was
one of the orators.
In 1880, 65 papers in North
Carolina attended the
convention in Asheville.
A speech by Josephus
Daniels, editor of the Wilson
Advance, was the highlight of
the 1885 convention. Daniels
praised the press associaton for
“elevating the tone of
journalism” in North Carolina.
The press had condemned
lynch-law, said Daniels. It had
helped to shape good legislation
in the state, locally and
statewide.
“An editor should be careful
what he prints,” said Editor
Daniels. “A country weekly
goes into the family, is read by
children and neighbors. It ought
to contain nothing to vitiate the
mind of the reader or to produce
evil thoughts.”
Mr. Daniels also declared
that a newspaper editor “has no
right to outrage the public sense
of decency and propriety by
publishing all the sickening
details of crime.”
Further, an editor ought not
to print anything "that would
bring a blush to the cheek of the
purest maiden,” Daniels said.
Josephus Daniels later
changed his mind, and as editor
of the Raleigh News and
Observer, when he was once
criticized for publishing news
that would have not followed his
1885 rule-of-thumb, Mr. Daniels
said, “If the Lord let’s it
happen, we let’s it be printed.”
Mr. Daniels in 1885 praised
major national universities for
installing journalism cotirses,
and he predicted that the
University of North Carolina
would one day have a course to
train editors.
The day is coming, Mr.
Daniels said in 1885, when no
man would be allowed to be
managing editor of a paper
without apprenticeship or
examination - the goal being to
weed out the incompetent.
