Untreated den tal problems can cause infec tion and lead to serious illness, according to Dr George Dudney, head of the Dental Services Program of the Divi sion of Health Services, N.C. Department of Human Resources. February 3 through 9 is the 31st National Children s Den tal Health Week. The purpose of the week is to focus atten tion on the prevention of den tal health problems at the time it is easiest to stop them from occurring-in childhood. North Carolina has the old est public health dentistry program in the country. The Dental Public Health Pro gram which was founded in 1918 began working early to instill the basic ingredients of sound dental health, nutri tion, proper cleaning of teeth and gums and, later, fluoridation. "All teeth, including baby teeth, need to be guarded against tootn decay. ' Dr Dudney said. "Baby teeth are not only essential to good nutrition when a child s body is growing the fastest, they are also important in the r proper development of per manent teeth. Children with severe dental problems also have trouble with speech and social development which can have life long complications,' Dudney said. "Children s Dental Health Week is designed to draw attention to this aspect ot the development ot a healthy adult he concluded Preventive dental health services are offered through local health departments Second Gear Allows Motor To Do Most Necessary Braking Motorists savvy to the vaga ries of winter driving put their automobiles in second gear - never low - and pump their brakes lightly when traveling down an ice-slick highway. Second gear allows the mo tor to do most of the necessary braking, without running the danger of throwing the car into a skid, as low gear would be likely to do. Pumping^ the brakes in stead oT continuous braking, gives the driver maximum steering contFol while the brakes are off and maximum braking power when the brakes are on. These cold weather driving ideas, along with many others, qre contained in a pamphlet. HOW To GO ON ICE AND SNOW", now being offered free by the Carolina Motor Club T Ed Pickard. President of the 181.000-member motoring federation, covering both Car olinas. said, "the little booklet contains much useful informa tion. and a good many tips for motorists who are forced to drive in adverse weather con ditions." We still feel the best advice is to stay home and not get out in it though,'' he added In addition to advice about driving on ice and snow, the pamphlet provides a check list of maintenance precautions that should be taken to insure that your car is in proper operation condition for winter driving. Information is also provided concerning the type of equipment to have on hand for winter driving, and what to do if vour car should go into a skid. The bocidet is offered free to the general public at all Carolina Motor Club offices Copies may also be obtained by sending a stamped, self addressed outness-size enve lope to HOW TO GO ON ICE AN n <s\ .x» Carolina Motor (Tub.
