Come, I beckon you, quietly follow nze. We'll escape to a place where you'll be amazed, I guarantee. Stop! Are you aware? Take a look around. See that intricate fairy's ring, nestled against the ground? Listen! The forest musicians create their melodious chants. Including all forest tenants; from swishing trees to small ants Touch! Feel the silky softness of petals and pussy willow fur. Scratch an old toad on his warned back — both 'will be surprised, I'm sure. Ah! Be kind to your nose; breathe the tingling air, Scented softly with glorious perfumes; unconquerable, therefore very rare, Hush! Night has fallen, now only the gurgling brook, The swish of the wind, occasional murmurs are heard in this quiet nook. Silhouetted against the pastel sky, the majestic trees stand guard Over the somnolent neighbourhood; all nature for the night has retired. Wonder! At this marvellous set-up, this symphony of awe Where every living creature combines its efforts in a melodious song. Take heart! The harmony of nature is visible everywhere. On a pleasant day, go to the woods and you too may have a share. Plan dental program Have Your FEEDER CATTLE Arrived? When cattle move into a new environment, they undergo stress.

MAVPR .1-1g...PPgN Huron County board of education has given approval to the immediate implementation of a preventive dental program in the board's 31 elementary schools on the understanding that no pressure be exerted upon pupils to participate in the program. I The children must also have parental consent in order to receive the benefits of the Huron :County Health Unit's newest service. Dr, G. P. A. Evans, medical officer of health for Huron, said his department has been unable to secure the services of a public health dentist and a dental hygienist this year. "We certainly want to have the whole cake," Dr. Evans explained, "but we will have to be satisfied with a bit of the cake to start off with." This initial program to begin this year, will entail painting the teeth of young school children with a special fluoride paste. Dr. Evans said this program can be administered by registered nurses and although all public health nurses are qualified to undertake the work, it is expected that an additional staff member will have to be engaged. It will most likely be the children in Grades 1 to 4 who will first participate in this program, Dr. Evans said it would be ideal to work with kindergarten children but added that since "co-operation, and adequate co-operation" is necessary to success it has been decided to begin with students in Grade 1. It is understood the children will apply the special paste themselves under the direct supervision of the nurse in charge. "They think it is great fun," advised Dr. Evans. He said that while he hasn't actually tasted the special paste it "smells like fruit drops" and is supposed to have "a very agreeable taste." At the same time as the children are applying the special paste to their own teeth, the nurse gives the youngsters instructions on the best way to brush their teeth, proper diet etc. Each child receives a new toothbrush in the bargain. The procedure should be repeated at least once a year, although some authorities believe it should be done twice a year. "The frequency has not been fully worked out," noted Dr. Evans. In areas like Goderich where fluoride is taken every day through the drinking water, the teeth, painting will still take place as an extra measure of precaution. "In addition, they could use a fluoride tooth paste," concluded Dr. Evans. an GINMICH'S L TD.
