Rotary Club (Continued from Page One) state finally had ta allot great sums for uental surgery bei are these youths could be taken inta the services, hence thc state ac- knowlcdged its responsibility ta that extent. Surveys Taken The United States had the same experience during eniistments. The fact is that today Canadian dental health is no better off than in 1939 and is probably worse than it was 100 years aga. Gen- eral statîstics in the matter were gathered Uiraugh a survey made by the Red Cross an a health Un-: it basis in Uic Welland district fol- lowing World War IL. It was commenced in Sept., 1946, the first effort ai its kind in Canada. Us- ing a scientific chart listing 48 ab- normalities, children were check- cd on Uiat basis and many defeets were found outý,ide the 48 listed. .Prom Uic charts assembled among 6,17.8 children, no fewcr than 30,000 dental deiccts werc discl'>scd and. thc variaus deiccts we!'è listed with treatment mndi- cuted. Teachers submitted infor- mation to show that eilîdren wlth advanced tooth decay were the mare retarded-in school wark and more frequently absent through illness. The chart had a section on diet, meal frequency, snacks and indulgencies which uncovered uselul data on the incidence ai dental cares, Other surveys have been under- taken across Canada since the Welland experiment and the re- sults wcre practically -the same, hence the percentages were con- iirmed. The speaker told that Dr. Dcvitt and Dr. Bannycastle, some years ago carried out a sîm- ilar survcy amang Bawmanvîlle children and dental defects were found i 98 per cent ai uchool children. As a resuit af these loc- alized surveys local dentists were swamped and unable alone ta handie the cases. Which reveals that the parents can be aroused when the facts are known. Improper Diet Outlinlng basic causes af tooth decay, Dr. Rudeil deait quite ex- 'tensively with the question af diet and held that anc af the ioods cantributing grcatly ta dental de- terioriation was sugar taken in cancentrated forms. The average persan in Canada consumcd 70 lbs. af sugar annually and thc average per capita .onsumption ai soft drinks was 95 botties and "coke" for instance, contained fram 4 ta 6 teaspoans ai sugar per bottie. The candy bar and chewing gum also were contributors ta dental decay among children. And it is surprising Uic number ai children today wha are given candy before 2 years ai age. Bacteria present In the saliva act an the sugar and other like camponents ta farm an acid that attacks thc tooth enamel. This acid is so strang that if placcd in a glass battie ai the same thick- ness ai taath enamel it wauld cat its way right thraugh. It takes an]y 20 minutes aiter eating ta form this acid and within 6 haurs the enamel is etched or perman. ently damaged. Proper diet and care, therefore, is something ta be watched for children. Preventlon Dealing with methods ta be cm- ployed ta prevent taoth decay the speaker urged a thorough brush- ing and cleanîng ai teeth at least Heading Your Way ? WHO KNOWS WHEN they may be!

Mason & Son INSURANCE - REAL ESTATZ King Street, Bowmanvilllc four times a day, alter meals and on retiring at night. If proper diet is nat observed this is a firat method of prevention. Naw that the 25 per cent excise tax has been removed from tooth brushes, there is nothing save indiiference and lazincss standing in the way of properly caring for thc teeth. As substitutes for swcets Uic speaker suggested the use oi fruits, v>hale wheat sandwiches with cheese, peanut butter and sa forth and liberal quantities ai milk, vegetables and ather whale- some, non-acid forming foods, ta satisiy Uic desire for lunches and snacks, but even with these and ail ieeds, do not neglcct thc tooth brush. ln England esurvey found 12 per cent af the children havîng artificial teeth at 15 years ai age. Questianing why we got into this seriaus state Dr. Rudeli sug- gested that dentists have been taa technîcally minded rather than stressing preventive mcthods. Par- ents have been tao little iniorm- ed and taa indifierent in the mat.- ter and toa unwilling ta spcnd maney on dental services while shaating the budget for motoring, movies, lîquor, casmetics and whatnot. Finally children with toothache and impaired health im- pose a bill far in excess ai the smail amotant had dental treat- ment taken place carlier. Corrective Steps Sa much for the foregoing. Now what steps can we take ta remedy the situation? The speaker sug- gested attack on the Health Unit level which is supparted with gov- ernment and municipal iunds. With a well organized staff af competent doctars, nurses and in- spectars, na provision has yet been made ta employ a qualiiicd den-, tist on a full time basis. That is ta say, one ai the prime causes oi iii health remains neglected which increases the work ai the estab- lished staff and adds greatly ta public expense. That the problem is pressing is exempliiied in the surveys show- ing 98 per cent ai aur children ac- tua]iy needing dental attention and few getting any until per- manent damage has been dane and huge bills rahled up at the ex- pense a individualjamilies. With why the deiay in acting? Extend- ing government grants and mun- icipal support ta employ a ful time dentist would, by preventing tooth decay and ill health, save taxpayers thousands ai dollars ov- er and above the salary ai a quai- iiied dental practitioner. Publie Education Next Dr. Rudeil suggested a campaign ta educate the public and parents ta the facts in the case. This idea of preventive den- tistry is strictly in line with the movenjent that has resulted in supparting medical science ta the end that preventive measures have almost completely wiped out deaths fram diphtheria, smallpox and other diseases. But in the case ai preventive dentistry the case is much mare simple and mare easily attainable. If parents could be induced ta have their children visit their den- tist every six manths at the very least and a health unit specialist emplayed ta take up the residue ai negligence thraugh school sur- veys, the whale thing would be brought ta almost 100 per cent cf- iiciency. But pre-school age ex- aminations should begin not later than 2 ý! years ai age, for it has been found that foundation teeth have a large influence on the lat- er dcvelopment of permanent teeth. And what a lot ai misery would be avaided in this plan of saving health and money In ad- vance. Interestlnt Film In conclusion Dr. Ruddl ex- plalncd the advantages ai X-Ray examinations and generaily sum- mcd up bis points on diet and care ai teeth before turning ta a sug- gestion ai how service clubs could do much ta promo te neces- sary action ta remove thc disgracc oi neglect in a vital health issue. Pollowing this strlking address Cecil Carvcth shawed talking mo- vies whîch strikingly supported and alxnost exactly illustrated the points made by Dr. RudelI. They pictured the dental progress ai a babe in arms ta adult days in hit- and-miss attention ta dental care. Thanks were tcl'ldercd Dr. Ru- deil by Jack Eastaugh and Mr. Carvcth received like appréciation irom Walt Pascoe. Mr. Carveth called attention ta the fact that he and Bab Stevens, several years ago had advocated' steps similar ta those suggcsted by the speak- er and Rotary had done much ta pursue the question. Business Highlight of the business ai the day întraduced by President Mcl Dale was the presentation ai per- fect attendance pins ta Len Elliott, 19 ycars without a miss,' and ta Wes. Cawker, 4 perfect years. Gea. Chase announced that Ro- tary Choir had made such a hit in recent public appearances that in- vitations have now been received from Maple Grave, Newcastle and Orono. The choir will fill the en- gagements aiter the New Year. Next Pri ,day noori, Rotarians will hold their annual Christmas turkey dinner in the Balmoral Ho- tel when Jack Griffith will deliv- er the address and Rotary Choir will sing carols.
