Careful Attention
To Baby Teeth
Primary teeth appear in the
child's mouth in infancy and are
there for a definite reason. It is
Nature's plan that they remain
there until the permanent teeth
which follow them are almost
ready to erupt. Premature loss
is abnormal and often for fore-
runner of serious trouble and
unnecessary expense to the par-
ents.
The baby teeth are important
and should be kept in a healthy
state. This means;
Brushing the teeth right after
EVERY meal as well as after
snaks. Rinsing the mouth with
water after brushing and always
after eating, if you cannot brush
Reducing sweet, sugary foods
to an absolute minimum, esp-
ecially the sticky kinds. Avoid
thein entirely between meals
and before going to bed. In-
stead of candy, jam, soft drinks
gum, chocolates, cakes, sweet
cookies and chocolate milk,
substitute fresh fruit, raw veg-
etables, cheese, peanut butter,
milk and unsweetened fruit
juices.
Regular dental examinations
from age three years to permit
early discoveryof cavities before
they progress to the state where
infection endangers the child's
health or results in the premat-
ure loss of teeth; extraction if
the tooth is beyond help, seek-
ing your dentist's advice regard-
ing some form of space holding
device if it is required.
Getting your community to
fluoridate its water supply. This
is an inexpensive wayto prev-
ent at least two thirdof the
tooth decay in baby teeth and in
permanent teeth as well.

Protest Court Ruling on Hog Lagoon
The Huron County Federation
of Agriculture Monday night
called on Huron County council
and the provincial assessment
branch to launch an immediate
appeal against a Huron County
judges decision March 24 that
rural air pollution had reduced
the market value of a home.
The recommendation to ap-
peal the decision of Judge R.
Hetherington came after lengthy
discussion on a resolution pres-
ented to the federation by past -
president Elmer Hunter of God-
erich.
It refers to Judge Hetherington
precedent -setting ruling that
cut $30 from the 1969 tax bill
of Mr. and Mrs. Edison McLean
of the Kippen area. The Mc -
Leans were successful in getting
their assessment reduced on the
claim that neighbor Grant Mc-
Gregor was operating a hog en-
terprise that polluted the air.
Source of the pollution is a
liquid manure storage lagoon
beside the McGregor farm and
about 1, 300 feet may from the
McLean residence.
The federation was told that
Mr. McGregor is operating within
a suggested code of practice for
for livestock operation and that
his hog unit has qualified for
a certificate of approval from
the air management branch,
department of energy and re-
sources management.
"The McLeans have won their
assessment appeal because of
an odor and this disturbs me
greatly, " said Mr. Hunter. "This
is one of the best -managed hog
operations in Huron County and
it disturbs me that a farmer can
be accused of air pollution to a
point where a neighbor can get
his assessment reduced."
Tuckersmith Township Deputy.
reeve Alex McGregor, referring
to a meeting of township and
county solicitor James Donnelly
of Goderich last week, said the
solicitor recommended against
going ahead with an appeal.
He said Mr. Donnelly would
have liked to present a case at
the March 24 assessment appeal
hearing but nobody pushed it.
Laverne Godkin of Walton
said the judge's decision could
create a chain reaction, adding
that there will not be a farm
in the county that will be safe.
Charles Thomas, reeve of
Grey Township, said the fact
that Mr. Donnelly recommended
against an appeal was not a re-
flection on his integrity. If the
county instructed Mr. Donnelly
to appeal, farmers would have
excellent representation.
The meeting also learned
that the Ontario Hog Producers
Marketing Board earlier in the
day had offered its full support
to the federation if it decided
to push for an appeal.
One farmer said he was told
by an assessment official that
if the assessment appeal stands
as is, assessors will have to
smell every farm when they are
assessing the property and note
a nuisance factor on the assess-
ment form if a smell exists.
Deputy -Reeve McGregor said
at this point; " That means the
McGregors can put down the
McLeans on their notice as a
nuisance factor the next time
they are assessed.
Thre Types of Drainage Tiles
Approved By Ontario Association
Ontario farmers now have
some formal protection in the
quality of drain tile and plastic
tubing they will but this year,
says Professor Ross Irwin, School
of Agricultural Engineering,
University of Guelph.
A series of three specifications
were formally recognized at the
Annual Meeting of the Ontario
Farm Drainage Association,
which created minimum, vol-
untary standards to be used in
the industry, says Professor Ir-
win. The standards were des-
igned by three committees
established a year ago by the
Association, and their recom-
mendations were accepted on a
tentative basis, which it is hop-
ed will be a permanent thing
in the future. These standards
have come about through a con-
sensus of manufacturers in the
industry, and are patterned
after those of the American
Society for Testing Materials,
but have been modified slightly
for conditions found in Ontario.
Professor Irwin notes that
clay drain tile may now be spec-
ified in three qualities. Stand-
ard quality drain tile, usually
used for farm drainage, must
have an average minimum
crushing strength of 800 pounds
per lineal foot. The crushing
strength for extra -quality
drain tile is 1, 100 pounds, and
for heavy-duty tile is 1, 400
pounds per lineal foot. These
two tile types must be dense
and not absorb more than 11%
