OLD AGE ASSISTANCE
QUOTA TO BE RAISED
State Board Grants Increase
For Transylvania County
Needy People
The state board of allotment and ap
peal has signified their Intentions of
allowing Transylvania county addition
al number of old age assistance and aid
to dependent children.
In making the state allotment for
1938-39, Transylvania county was only
allowed 85 old age assistance cases
by the Raleigh board, and 80 children.
The Transylvania county commissioners
had set up the budget for 196 old people
and 188 children.
Pat Kinney, county attorney, and C.
M. Douglas, spent Thursday and Fri
day of last week In Raleigh conferring
with the governor and other officials,
and went before the board of allotment
and appeal, and secured a re-hearing In
the matter.
It was pointed out to the state offi
cials, that Transylvania had aided 81
old people last year, and 88 dependent
children through the security plan
which Is operated jointly by the fed
eral, state, and county governments,
and that the county was making pro
vision to aid 115 additional old people,
and 100 additional needy children.
Definite assurance could not be se
cured by the Transylvania men that
the entire list of old age and children
cases would be taken care of by the
state board, but It is felt certain that
nearly 100 additional old age cases, and
75 needy children will be taken care of.
State officials explained that in all
counties the quota had been cut, and
that the state budget for the year was
primary cause for this.

Dentist’s Drill May Go ’Round An’ ’Round, But
It Doesn’t Hurt With New ‘Pain Killer’ Gadget
An innovation in dentistry work,
which relieves the patient of all pain
and nervousness, has been adopted by
Brevard’s two dentists, Dr. J. F. Zach
ary and Dr. C. J. Goodwin, and has
proved its purpose in successful opera
tion.
The new device ts called the "Anal
gesor” and is said by dentists who have
tried It to be a true pain killer and the
answer to the patient’s prayer.
The following clipping from the
Portsmouth Times, Portsmouth, Ohio,
tells the story in an interesting man
1 ner:
t (By Nancy Grimes)
Oh the drill goes ground 'an ’round,
l oh-ho, oh-hum! It doesn’t hurt a bit!
, The painless dentist now becomes an
actuality through the medium of the
Analgesor, a new gadget in the field
of dentistry for deadening that dreaded
drilling pain, which makes patients
, squeal and squirm in the chair and
’ put off the “ordeal" of going to the den
tist.
1 Being dubious about such things as
■ a matter of principle—and experience
—we were skeptical of the dentist’s In
sistence that the Analgesor Is the an
swer to the patient's prayer. But fln
■ ally—with some misgivings and cross
1 ed fingers—we agreed Saturday to try
out the machine that Is causing a furor
in the dental world.
1 A rubber noseplece, maybe like a
■ deep-sea diver would use, was fastened
over our nostrllB. Then we gingerly
1 pressed on a bulb, something like the
photographer squeezes when he snaps
you in the studio. That controls the
flow of nitrous oxide (gas to you).
We expected moat anything to hap
pen. And It did. After two or three
deep breaths, a feeling of utter relax
ation, accompanied by a faint tingling
sensation overtook our jumbling nerves.
Three more breaths and we were sit
ting on top of the world!
"Close your mouth hard” the den.
tlst told us.
We did. And what a sensation! Our
teeth were gloriously dead like so many
wooden pegs. The dentist could drill
and buzz to his heart's content
Oh-ho, oh-hum! We didn’t feel a
thing—except the ecstasy of no pain,
and the desire to laugh and laugh.
We squeezed the bulb and Inhaled
with delight, squeezing and breathing
In a state of mental exuberance, per
fectly conscious of the beautiful day,
of things about us, but senseless to any
dental pain—just floating leisurely and
consciously into that state of analgesia
(Webster: "Absence of sensibility to
pain”), which Is the step before aneas
thesia (you know what that means).
In plain American, you don’t feel
any pain In your teeth, but you remain
conscious
After laughing at the dentist and his
assistant during the try-out,' we fin
ally stopped squeezing the little bulb,
the noseplece was removed and we
quickly returned to that serious state
of sobriety, without the slightest sign
or a headache or after-effects of any
kind.
Now perhaps you've been wonder,
lng just what all this Is about. It’s
like this:
The Analgesor Is a small apparatus,
operated by the patient while In the
dental chair, which produces analgesia
—putting to sleep the fifth nerve, which
affects the teeth—so that while the pa
tient Is perfectly conscious, no pain 1s
experienced while the dentist Is busy
drilling, filling and scaling cavities.
Onto a small gas tank are attached
a bulb, noesplece and rubber bag. The
noseplece Is adjusted on the patient,
who also operates the bulb. The pa
tient continually breathes air, but adds
nitrous oxide by compressing the bulb
whenever pain Is anticipated.
The danger of breathing an exces
sive amount of nitrous oxide Is elimi
nated the dentist tells you, because the
flow of gas promptly stops and pure
air Is breathed again If the patient
ceases to compress the bulb.
Even If the bulb Is pressed contin
uously during the time the patient Is
In the chair, sleep connot be produced,
because a regulator on the tank permits
only a small amout of the gas to flow
through the noseplece at any time.
Several Portsmouth, dentists already
have Introduced the Analgesor to their
patients and more have placed orders
for the little "wonder machine.”
Describing the various reactions of
patients to the Analgesor, our dentist
told of one patient who was a bit
nervous In trying It. Finally persuad
ed, she began squeezing the bulb. Dur
ing the work of the dentist, which
would have produced pain, he asked
the patient If she felt any.
"Oh, yes," she laughingly replied.
"But go right ahead and drill, doctor,
hee hee! ho ho! ha ha! I don’t mind
at all. Just drill right along.”
As far as we’re concerned, the Anal
gesor Is the answer to our nervous
system when confronted with the
knowledge that we’re due at the den
tist’s.
Tea. sir, the drill goes 'round an'
'round, oh-ho, oh-hum I But It deosn’t
hurt a bit I

SQUARE DANCES IN
BREVARD POPULAR I
WITH YOUNG-OLD
VUitor* and Homefolk Enjoy
Mingling To Time*
of String Band
"Big ring! Circle left!”
One of Brevard’s most attended func
tions are the square dances held her*
each week.
The fact that there are three dances
each week tends to Increase the at
tendance Instead of cutting It.
Tuesday and Friday evenings the
McIntosh dances are held In the Clem
ent building on West Main street, and
the crowd Is determined by the capa
city of the house to provide rjjjyn for
dancers and spectators.
Thursday evenings the NTA hall Is
crowded" to capacity and overflow—and
It Is every dance—more and more
people attending.
Fisher’s string band and Edwin Eng
lish are the music makers and figure
caller at the McIntosh dances on
Tuesday and Friday, with Sherman's
band and Speedy Jones doing the hon
ors on Thursday at the NTA hut
Old, young, aged, and lean—they are
all there, dancing, sitting out 'til next
set when there will be room, and some
pf the more energetic ones round danc
ing to the music of the nickelodeons be
tween sets.
Holiday spirit pervades the dance
hall, and everybody seems to as much
as say "how-de-do . . . you're no
stranger anymore . , . let’s dance.”
Orderly'crowds are especially notfee
able at each dance. Absence of drink
ing is generally understood, and If a
chap happens along when he has had '
one too many, he soon finds that he
got In the wrong pew, and It’s either
check out for home or to the “tin*
top” just back of the court house.
Altogether, the square danoes are
proving to be an entertainment of the
first order.
