The York Region Dental Society endorses the con- cept of preventive dentistry and is concerned that people be informed of a method for obtaining maximum benefit from their home care. Many studies have shown that individuals who are properly motivated and educated in preventive home care can maintain a level of oral health never before thought possible. the greatest effectiveness being enjoyed by those who begin at an early age. During the past several years the traditional philosophies of dental practice have been changing from a concept of repairing the damages of dental disease to a concept of‘ presenting dental disease. However, the achievement of this goal depends more on the involvement of the in- dividual himself than on the efforts of the practising dentist. Dental Health Week 1975 speakers are available At the time of Dental Health Week 1975 (February 3 to 10) the York Region Dental Society will try to supply speakers on the subject of “Preventive Dentistry“ for interested groups such as service clubs, women’s church groups, home and school associations. had dropped the stocking on his way back to his sleigh drawn by eight prancing reindeer.

The l'ive-year-old young man could hardly wait to try them on â€" but when he did he discovered to his horror there were no pockets in his new pants â€"* and what good are pants without pockets to a boy? He was not to be denied, however. and going to his mother's sewing basket he took out four nicely laun- dered salt bags and a hand- l'ul of safety pins. Then he made a trip to the woodshed. Then Willie drew forth his presents ~ and there was a pair of trousers. a beautiful With the safely pins he carefully attached salt pockets to the slits and went back into the kitchen for breakfast. hands in pockets and whistling â€" at least he was producing a happy noise which would pass for whistling.’ some crayons. And there was Willie‘s stocking. still untouched (it seems Santa hadn‘t put it back in the right place) but where was six-yearâ€"old Mary‘s stocking? Willie took off the trousers. l'olded them neatly and laid them across the chopping block. He raised the sharp- l)laded axe above his head and with one stroke cut right through the four layers of cloth.
