—5=21 DENTAL DIVISION “ NORTH CAROLINA STATE -[BOARO OF HEALTH^; - gr Mouth Health Teaching Popularized Public Health In Pitt County By J. H. COWARD County Auditor The effectiveness of a county health department is determined in a large measure by the num ber of _ people served in a prac tical way. They must see the personal benefits to be derived. Not a great per cent of adults are inclined to seek this type of service for themselves. With most of them it is dire necessity or some health problem affecting their children which takes them to their county health department. It is the preference of far too many of htem, it seems, that J. H. COWARD health department activities be confined to children. Even so. this is one of the best mediums through which to disseminate County Health Programs. Bene fited children become, in due season, adult boosters. Conse quently, mouth health programs, in my opinion, should be one of the principal activities of a county health department. We bake much pride in the fact that the Pitt County Health Department was one of the first established in the State. It has been liberally supported,- and efficiently operated. We are so well pleased with its work that the appropriation for this year is more than double that of last yca.\ However, not until 1929, when we instituted mouth health programs, as directed by the State Hoard of Health, did we find a medium through which the masses could see direct results of supporting the County Health Department. In this year, we contracted with the State Board of Health, the county agreeing to pay a part qf the expenses, to send a school dentist to the county for a given number of weeks, this varying with the amount appropriated. This yoar we have increased our. appropria tion to double the amount pro vided for dental services in 1929. The school dentist takes mouth health messages to all children attending school, white- or color ed. With members of the County Board of Commissioners I have visited schools where mouth health programs were in progress, and have seen the school dentist teach health so that children could un derstand. We have seen him re lieve suffering of children from poor families, some of whom very likely had never before heard of a dentist. We have seen him in still in the minds of children of parents who were able to pay for dental services, but had them selves not been taught the im portance of mouth health, the immediate and constant need for periodic visits to the family den tist. as well as the importance of personal care of the teeth. We were particularly impressed as we saw the dentist explain every cor rection and show to the patient and those looking on why certain corrections were necessary. He was teaching by illustration and these illustrations remain with the children as constant reminders ,of mouth health. Further, it was conclusive evidence to those of NOT1CE State .of North Caroline, County of Alleghany. Notice U hereby given that the undersigned hat qualified at Exe cutor of the Lett Will and Testa ment of Caroline Edwards, late of Alleghany county, North Caro lina. All persons having claims against the said estate will pre sent them to the undersigned within twelve months from this data 01 this notice will be plead in bar of their recovery. All persons indebted to the octets will make immediate settlement, is May 27th, 1838. FRED HANDY ficials present (members of the appropriating body) that reports which the school dentist rendered to them told only in part of the good results accomplished. I believe the service is defi nitely improving the health con ditions by removing diseased tee.th, relieving infections, saving the permanent teeth of those chil dren whose parents are unable to pay for dental services; teach ing the value of proper foods grown at home; the value of milk, and the value of cleanliness in side and out. Repeaters in school ave being .reduced, thereby saving the taxpayers many dollars. Mnqth health teaching is pop ular with the masses in Pitt County. It is demanded by their children. Unusual as it may seeir, T have seen' several chil dren receiving treatment, each demanding in no uncertain terms that no one of them complained of pain. They will be health minded men and women tomor row, and boosters for public health and the County Health De partment. There is no better way to build a successful county health department than to make it popular with the masses—there is no better way to make it popu: l«r with the masses than through mouth health teaching. Louisa’s Letter JUDGE BY MERIT, NOT BY COST Dear Girls: So many of us judge the value of things by their cost. Take, for instance, water which is one of the best aids for keeping our bodies in condition. If we were charged so much a bottle and were told that each person should drink a quart a day, we would pinch and scrape to furnish each member of our family with his j prescribed portion,and we would I see that each child drank his j every drop. But since water does-1 n’t cost much, most of us for-1 get about it and drink very little. The one thing, however, which I had in mind when I started this column today was a government bulletin. I have just been glancing over one which covers the life of a child between the ages of one and six. This little book, which was written by competent author ities, has a world of information in it. It covers the ailments, ac cidents, clothing, play material, solution of bad habits, a bit of psychology, and many other things relative to the pre-school child. This little book, which is worth a great deal, can b$ had for ten cents, which covers its cost of mailing, etc. But I sup pose, the mere fact that it doesn’t cost but ten cents will prevent some of us from getting one. The bulletin on "Infancy of the Child,” is also very helpful particularly to the mother with her first child. Going back to the cost of things, I remember a good while ago when I was attending a State college, that one of my friends declared that her reason for not selecting that school was that it was s cheap college. 1 had to laugh, for, as a matter of fact, our faculty and buildings were the finest of any in the State. This was, of course, due to the fact that the State Treasury supplied a great portion of the money necessary for such a distinguished faculty and such a lovely plant. My friend was judging by what she would have had to pay. So it doesn’t always follow that the thing which costs the less in Through Stale Capital Keyholes (continued from front page) system in North Carolina, one which would provide the oppor tunity for parole of every poiso ner—whether such prisoner could employ an attorney or had in fluential friends. The plan ad vanced will provide supervision to keep the prisoner on the “straight and narrow.” Such a system may be in the making as the outcome of the strenuous ef forts of Representative Thomas E. Cooper, of New Hanover, in the recent session of the General Assembly. A great opportunity presents itself to the Governor and those who he may appoint to administer the parole act. But the State may as well realize that any beneficial parole system, like any other constructive public service, cannot be operated upon a shoe-string. AID FOR FISHERMEN—Plans are underway for the construction of quick-freezing and storage plants for seafood along the fish ing banks of North Carolina. It is hoped this would result in mare orderly marketing of products of the deep and bring better prices. Further plans call for huge pur chases of fish by the State prison department for feeding convicts and personnel. While this might not cut any ice in the price of fish it would cut into the surplus catches to some extent. TOUGH JOB—Early adminis tration of the newly-created State Department of Highway Safety is going to be a tough assignment in its early days. Besides the tremendous task of organization, the public is likely to be unap preciative of the problem of edu cating half a million drivers and policing thousands of miles of roads with 121 State Highway Patrolmen. There is danger that the new safety department may be blamed for future accidents it could not hope to prevent. COOL—There has been com paratively little heat generated in the race for Governor. Lieuten ant Governor A. H. Graham and Clyde R. Hoey are the main con tenders on the Democratic ticket to date but Colonel T. LeRoy Kirkpatrick and John McRae, both of Charlotte, have also announced their candidacy- Gilliam Grissom, popular collector of U, S. inter nal revenue in this State for sev eral years, looks like a big threat foe the G. O. P. nomination next year but • other- Republicans have their eye on the same honor. LUCKY BREAK—Some Raleigh politicians express the opinion that the Supreme Court’s action in declaring the NRA unconstitu tional was a good political break for President Roosevelt. These prophets point out that NRA was growing mighty unpopular but that a howl for its benefits went -up just as soon as the high court kicked it out. Political leaders here say that NRA will be popu lar again when the price and wage cutting gets started and the President can blame all that on the Supreme Court. If so, that will lest Mr. Roosevelt out of a big hole. COMING BACK —Chester 0. dollars and cents is cheap. It may be worth a great deal more than something expensive. So we will find it well to judge by merit rather than price. Yours, LOUISA administration notice Having qualified as administra trix of R. G. Hopper., deceased, 1 hereby notify all person, in debted to lua estate to come for ward and make payment and all persons bolding claims against bis estate must present them for payment within twelve months from this date or this notice will be plead in bar of recovery.

Now both Bell and Adams have announced their intention of seeking to unhorse Mr. Durham again in the primar ies next year. MORE TROUBLE — Secretary of State Stacy W. Wade is re ported to have been worried by the decision of Thad Eure, prin cipal clerk of the House of Repre sentatives for several sessions, to seek his job next spring. Now along comes M. R.

Start The Holiday Right There is lots of hokus-pokus about “how to start the day right,” such as getting out the right side of bed, and not sing ing before breakfast. But our firm belief is that the one really best way to start a holiday is with a delicious and filling break fast, consumed in peace and leis ure, with plenty of time for that extra cup of coffee—or maybe it’s two cups—that most of us miss on busy week days. Here are some breakfast menus and recipes that will fit nicely into your plans for Fourth of July, and Labor Day. And you’ll find them excellent for Sunday breakfast any week of the year. Family Breakfast Menu Fresh strawberries and diced oranges, scrambled eggs, broiled ham, raspberry jam, butterfly muffins and coffee. Butterfly Muffins 2 eggs. 1-4 cup honey. 4 tablespoons melted butter. 1 1-3 cup milk. 1-16 teaspoon soda. 1-2 teaspoon salt. 5 teaspoons baking powder. 3 cups sifted pastry flour. Mix and sift the flour, salt, soda, and baking powder. Com bine the unbeaten eggs, honey, melted butter, and milk- Add the sifted dry ingredients; stir quickly—do not beat. Fill oiled muffin tins 2.3 full. Bake in a hot oven (400 degrees F.) for 20 minutes or until the muffins are piping hot with plenty of butter, firm and golden brown. Serve Yield: 18 medium sized muffins. Or another breakfast might be planned along these lines; Mixed orange and pineapple juice, broiled bacon, rice with honey or pineapple br fast cake and coffee. Rich Waffle* 2 cups sifted pastry flour. 3 teaspoons baking powder. 1-2 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon sugar. 2 eggs, separated. 1 1-3 cup milk. Scant 1-2 cup melted butter. Mix and sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add the beaten egg yolks to milk, and combine with the dry material. Add the melted butter, and fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites. Serve with melted butter—a ‘real’ waffle is too delicate to hold up a piece of hard butter. Pineapple Breakfast Cake 1 cup sifted pastry flour. 1-8 teaspoon salt. 2 teaspoons baking powder. 1 tablespoon sugar. 3 tablespoons shortening. 1 well beaten egg. 2 tablespoons milk. 3-4 cup crushed pineapple, drained. 1-2 cup brown sugar.
