Notes From ....
Your Health Department
Stevens Byars M.D., District Director of Public Health
Since this is National Dental | s
Week, teeth is my subject. More 1
Americans suffer from dental |
trouble than any other single ■
disease. Ninety-five percent of .
all children, before they reach
the age of six, have had decayed ;
teeth in sufficient severity that •
a dentist should have been seen. (
If a dentist should make an ac
curate check of the tooth decay
in the public schools of Newton
County, he would find an aver
age 5 decayed teeth in each
mouth. Some would have more.
and some less.
We do not consider tooth de
cay as a disease and we do not
consider tooth decay as very (
important to our general health.
It certainly is not one of the ;
contagious disease. Despite these
assumptions tooth decay is a
preventable condition and re
sponds to all the laws of epi
demiology and preventative
medicine and does play a seri
ous role in general health.
We approach the preventable
aspects from several angles.
First, cleanliness. Quite a large
percent of dental decay can be |
prevented by brushing the,
i teeth after each meal. Even a]

Valentine’s Day has been cel
ebrated by people of all ages
since the 14th Century. Feb
ruary 14th has long been set
aside to honor St. Valentine, the
patron of sweethearts and
lovers.
Exchanging colorful valentine
missives is only part of the
day’s tradition. Parties are held
by gay celebrators. Red paper
heart decorations, colorful fa
vors usually heart-shaped,
crimson candies and frosted
heart-shaped cakes or cake
rings rule the day. Here is an
idea for your party.
Valentine Ring
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup melted butter
1/3 cup cherry jam
2 packages of yeast
1/2 cup warm, not hot, water
2 eggs, beaten
5 cups sifted enriched flour
Scald milk and stir in sugar,
salt and shortening. Cool to
lukewarm. Sprinkle yeast into
water. Stir until yeast dissolves.
Add eggs and half the flour.
ommended only in south west
Georgia.
Grapes - Muscadine — Hunt,
Dulcet, Scuppernong, Topsail,
Higgins, Burgaw, Wallace. Yu
ga is recommended only for
southwest Georgia. For polli
nation, always include one
plant of Burgaw or Wallace
with every four plants of any
other variety.
Peaches —Hiland, Southland,
Maygold, and Redskin.
Pears — Keiffer, Baldwin,
and Pineapple. Set two or more
varieties for good pollination.
Plums — Methley, Santa
Rosa, and Sapa (Dwarf).

Porterdale
P-TA to Observe
Founders' Day
PORTERDALE — Founders
Day, which is February 17. will
be commemorated at the P.T.A.
meeting at Porterdale Junior
High School on Thursday even
ing, February 19, at seven
o’clock. Unlike ordinary pro
grams, the meeting will be held
in the School Cafeteria and all
former Presidents, especially,
with all former officers will be
recognized and honored.
Mr. Brice Allen, a parent of
the school, will bring the de
votional message. A history of
the P.T.A. will also be present
ed by Miss Mae Hardman and
other members. As a part of the
meeting, the Founders Day
Birthday Offering will be re
ceived.
At the conclusion of the meet
ing, light refreshments will be
served by the Hospitality Com
mittee consisting of Mrs. James
Allen Jeffries and Mrs. R. C.
Thompson.
Mrs. Bill Gregg will bring an
attendance award for this meet
ing.
Everyone is urged to be pres
ent and to share together in
honoring the great leaders of
this national organization.
simple rinsing of the mouth af
ter eating will help a lot.
Second, food. It has been pro
ven conclusively that sweets of
any kind play a very important
role in tooth decay. Not the
amount but the frequency, such
as between meal eating and
drinking and gum.
Third, it has been shown that
a very minute amount of fluo
ride in the drinking water in
the first 12 years of life has re
duced tooth decay 65%. Fluo
rides applied directly to the
tooth does help.
Fourth and most important,
a yearly visit to the dentist.
Only your dentist can determine
which of these measures are
being neglected and advise how
; to apply the needed corrective
measures.
See your dentist regularly!
