OF DRAMA GROUP'S PLAYS MEETINGS BEING ARRANGED HERE , FOR DENTAL HYGIENE .CAMPAIGN No More Tooth -Aches l Possibly all of us have, at one time or another, come across some slogan or phrase that 'seemed to' make a particular appeal to us, and which we have adopted as our own. So, when we read a phrase some;years ago, at- tributed to the then premier of Great Britain, the late James Ramsay Mac- donald, ac donald, we stored it in a little corner of memory. It was as follows. "The Y permanent work of the world ie done' by steady and persistent upbuilding." We think of this as we report the movement now under way in. Clinton to form a Dental Hygiene Council. From the experience we have had with dentists, we are quite in favor of any move that would take away their means of livelihood, but unfortunately this is a long way off, considering that four out of every five Canad- ians are depending on dentists to re- lieve them of pain and to enable them to smile and talk without causing friends to shudder at their molar ap- Why is education necessary one may ask. Dr. Thompson quoted fig- ures to show that by education and research the death rate from tuber- culosis had been cut 65% iii. the past 35 years; diphtheria and other deaths have also been materially cut down„ largely by educating people on the proper method of diet and by pre- ventive measures made possible through education. "Ninety-seven percent of our adult population haile decayed teeth, and not more than one in twenty-five maturitywithout tooth de- cay," reaches • was the startling statement made by Dr. Thompson as he spoke of health in relation to the condition of teeth. One of the reasons for this is that the Anglo-Saxon race is eat- ing a de -mineralized diet.
