A Series of Mouth Health

have been prolonged on account of
lack of money in the individual
homes. The task has been not only
to do a thorough job of mouth
cleaning, but also to instill oral hy
giene into the youthful child by ac
tual demonstration. The teacher,
while this subject was habitually
stressed, could not solve the prob
lem alone.
“Dentists in the public schools
havp been able to visualize to the
child the things the teacher sought
to impress, such as teaching food
values, proper health habits, and
the necessity of a clean mouth.”
Immediate Care For Pre
School Tots
Mrs. J. Buren Sidbury, repre
senting he N. C. Congress of Par
ents and Teachers, emphasizes the
importance of immediate attention
to the condition of the mouth of the
children who are to enter school
next session. Says Mrs. Sidbury:
“We are stressing through our
Summer Round-Up Campaign the
importance of having every remedi
able defect corrected before the
child enters school for the first
time. This Summer Round-Up Cam
paign was inaugurated by the Na
tional Congress of Parents and Tea
Let Clay Williams First Explain
Former Tobacco Prices.
“Clay Williams Raps AAA
Plans,” a heading in the June -18th
News and Observer reads. For our
part, we should prefer that Mr.
Williams, before he presents him
self as a friend of the farmer capa- ‘
ble of criticizing programs set up
in the farmer’s interest, explain why
tobacco growers were starved for
several years by the tobacco manu
facturers.
Cigarette prices have not been
raised since the higher prices for
tobacco were brought about in 1933
and 1934. Yet nobody supposes that
the manufacturers are doing busi
ness without profit. Even the divi
dends declared seem to indicate the
contrary. That fact indicates that
the companies might have paid high
er prices for the leaf during the
years in which thousands of tobac
co growers were pauperized. The
chers in 1925, as their major health
activity. From a very small begin
ning we now have thousands of
children examined each spring, and
remediable defects—teeth, tonsils,
eyes, ears, posture, etc.— are
brought to the attention of the pa
rents. These defects - materially re
tard a child's progress in school.”

tobacco bought by the Reynoldi
company last, year cost the com
pany twice as much, or three or
four times as much, as the same
amount cost' in either of several
years preceding the Roosevelt Ad
ministration. The income from the
manufactured product should have
produced as much net income,
since other costs of manufacture as
well as that of the leaf have also
increased.
Yet there are those in the state
who have seemed to look upon the
tobacco companies as benefactors
through recent high prices' of leaf,
though, under the light of the facts
suggested above, they must have
deliberately robbed the tobacco
growers for years. When Mr. Will
iams has satisfactorily explained
how his company can'make an ade
quate profit under present prices of
tobacco but could not pay a living
price for the farmer’s product in
the late twenties and early thirties,
it will be time enough for his “raps”
to be taken seriously by tobacco
growers and their friends.
Smart Alecks Have Little
Chance Against “G” Men.
The prompt capture and punish
ment with a 45-year term in prison
of Waley for the kidnaping of :that
Pacific coast lad should be one
i more significant warning to those
scoundrels who think they are
smarter than the officers. If that
isn’t. sufficient, the recent capital
sentence of another smart alex
might be taken to heart by the ilk.
Only the fact that the Waley crew
did not hurt the kidnaped lad saved
Waley from a death sentence.
Uncle Sam now has a detective
force, come recently into general
repute as the “Q” men, who are as

of the great political mogul of the
period.
I saw the deceased chief magis
trate of the state as he was grow
ing rich, I saw him exalted to the
gubernatorial chair; I have been
aware of his political eclipse the
last six years. He is gone, four
months younger than I, and I am
wondering if his wealth, if his po
litical elevation, if any or all of his
apparent good fortune made that
latter half of his life a whit the
happier.
I believe that staunch old father of
his lived as full a life and as happy
as did the son who rose to the high
est position in the service of
the state. But it was fortunate for
North Carolina that Wilton Mc
Lean was governor when he was!
