Unfortunately, they have nevfl
advertised much, and have been
overshadowed by other manufact-
urers who put out big, colorful
advertisements which offer much
and sometimes give very little.
How many times have you opened a
beautifully packaged item, only
to be completely disappointed
with the contents? Happily, mis-
leading ads are getting the scis-
sors under the Truth-in-Advertis-
ing Act.
Our toilet articles and cos-
metics are a necessary luxury,
but don't let appearance override
safety and good health. It's
your choice.
We shall go on to look at foods^^k
in another article, but one factor
is becoming more and more ap-
parent. If we don't stop using
all those unneccessary chemicals
and poisons, we shall not have
worry about being blasted off
face of the earth in a nucle
war ... we're killing ourselves.’'

separating two of the classrooms
in the high school wing. The
pseudo-wall can be moved aside to
allow for one large classroom
when necessaryfor lectures, danc-
ing lessons, debates or any other
school activity.
There will be a generous sup-
ply of art and craft materials
giving students an open field to
use their imaginations and crea-
tivity. And if the creativity
just isn't there at the moment,
there will be many examples of
traditional and contemporary art
throughout the halls to stimulate
the inactive mind.
Although there are many new
facilities and much new equipment,
definite changes in the present
curriculum will be determined
only if qualified personnel are
available before the next school
year.
And what about the old school?
The older portion will be revamped
and used for administrative offi-
ces, storage and special educa-
tion classes. The old gymnasium,
which was divided into class-
rooms this year, will be reopened
as a gym for students.
Ihe halls of the present A.T.
Mahan School will not be deserted.
The kindergarten and grades one
through three will take up resi-
dence there. The dismal quonsets
used now will no longer^ie reeded.
The new school will seem almost
luxurious with all that will be
provided for the students, and
as the principal-in-charge, Wil-
liam M. Traugott, says, "It will
certainly be one of the most out-
standing DOD schools in the At-
lantic."

The Northern Lights Masonic

at the 56 Club, Monday, February
8, at 7:30 p.m.

ly invited to attend.
Children’s Dental Health Week,
good time for six-month checkup1
This is "National Children's
Dental Health Week." Each year
the American Dental Association,
and its many thousand dentist
members, emphasize the need for
dental care for children.
The emphasis is always on home
care. Prevention of disease is
easier, cheaper, and a lot more
successful than having to treat
it after it occurs. It may seem
like a lot of trouble to remind
your youngsterto brush his teeth,
but since part of a parent's job
is to help their children learn
good habits, we should do it any-
way.
Cleanliness of the teeth is
the most important factor in pre-
venting dental diseases. This
means brushing after every meal,
and at least rinsing well after
every snack.
Strengthening the resistance
of the teeth is the next most im-
portant defense. Your tooth-
paste should be a flouridated one,
and your child should have the
stannous flouride application in
the dental office once a year.
Early treatment of dental dis-
ease is important also. Don't
delay until something really
hurts. Take your child to the
dental office when the very first
teeth appear, and then every six
months thereafter.
Developing good dental health
habits in childhood pays off.
