Remember, if you are very fat,
you are not likely to regain a

diet in the course of reducing

gaining weight again. That is, if
you can afford a good mixed diet.

Talking things over

mine who is a public health

problems is to try and get young-
sters to have their teeth attended
to by a dentist. Now, I know it is
not the most enjoyable thing to
have to make a date with ‘a drill,
but at the same time it is one of
the most necessary to safeguard
general good health. My friend
found, however, that many of the
children lacked dental care be-
cause their parents could-not af-
ford to have such work done, and
so teeth which with prompt at-
tention might have been saved,
eventually had to be pulled.

It is possible in the city at
least, to have free dental work
done for elementary pupils, this
work being paid for by the school
board, but after a child reaches
grade seven this service is dis-
continued. And many parents do
not want to send their children to
the clinic because they feel they
would. be accepting charity.

I think that the Parent-Teacher
Association on Salt Spring Island
has the right idea in coping with
this problem. The association se-
cured the services of a dentist
discharged from. the army, and
using the school’s health room,
was able to give.treatment to 189
children in three. months. A reg-
istration fee of two dollars a child
was charged and a like amount
was promised by the government.
In some instances the cnild‘s teeth
were perfect ‘and in other cases
considerable work had to be done.

The dentist, who brought his
own equipment, was paid three
dollars an hour for six hours a
day, and after 4 p.m. he worked
on the adult population at his
own responsibility. The whole
venture cost $1030.07, which was
raised by fees, government grant,
donations, dances, etc. A balance
of $225.32 was left over and this
has ben set aside for a future
clinic.

LITTLE KATY has been so
disappointed about being unable
to continue her jaunts to the com-
munity swimming pcol because of
the polio outbreak, but after
reading about some of the refuse
and garbage dragged out of some
of the wading pools, I feel thank-
ful that ours has been drained.

It is really disgraceful that the
park board is creating a health
menace out of a supposed contri-
bution to the health and welfare
of children. The wading pools
naturally collect every conceivable
ching a child might play with
and should be cleaned at least
every other day.

Next time I attend my com-
munity council meeting it: will ‘be
the first thing to be discussed or
I miss my guess. ,

SPEAKING OF polio, however,
here are a few pertinent facts
concerning this crippling disease.
Polio is a virus disease which
may enter the body through the

through the larynx, the windpipe

and bronchial tubes, or through
the digestive tract. ;
Symptoms may involve head-

ache, moderate fever, upset stom-
ach, loose stools, and obstinate
constipation in a normally regu-
lar person.. The virus may be
carried by flies, found in infected
sewage and so contaminate drink-
ing water (especially at summer
camps).
