ANS Adds Flouride Team
To Dental Program In
Southeastern Alaska
The latest addition to the Alas
ka Native Service dental program
is a fluoride team, specifically
trained to bring into existence a
real and effective preventive cam
paign against dental decay in the
teeth of the native children of Al
aska, it was announced by Wil
liam H. Olsen, Alaska Native Ser
vice area director.
This team consists of two young
native girls, Julia Sara and Mary
Richardson, graduates of the Mt.
Edgeeumbe dental assistant voca
tional training coui'se—under thei
leadership of Miss Bertha George
of Hydaburg.
The team members will travel
to towns and villages in southeast
ern Alaska, furnishing prophylac
tic and sodium fluoride treat
ments and instruction in oral hy
giene to the children.
Fluoride treatments have been
proved a safe, painless method of
making the teeth harder and more
resistant to acids which cause de
cay. Since definite benefits have
been shown in the reduction of
tooth decay in children between
the ages of 3 and 14 after their
teeth have been painted with so
dium fluoride, this will be the age
group treated by the team.
At a pressure of 328 times that
of the atmosphere, ice will melt
at 27 degrees Fahrenheit.

At McCutclieon
JUNEAU, (#>—Both candidates
for the Republican nomination
for delegate to Congress fired
broadsides at Stanley McCutch
eon o'f Anchorage Monday for his
authorship of a petition for the
dismissal of Gov. Heintzleman.
Rep. Barbara Dimock of An
chorage called it “a low grade
political smokescreen thrown out
to complicate issues in an impor
tant election year.”
Ray Beach of Juneau, secretary
of the territorial Republican Cen
tral Committee, said: “McCutch
eon obviously is a New Deal Dem
ocrat notoriety seeker, and is fear
ful he shall not be getting his
party’s nomination for the legis
lature” in next week’s primary
election. He called it a futile cam
paign gesture.
Mrs. Dimock, who was here on
a campaign swing through south
east Alaska, added:
“Stanley McCutcheon’s petition
is an insult to the intelligence of
the national administration and
loyal Alaskans. It shows the same
political immaturity displayed by
the infamous memorial to secede
from the United States, which
was presented to the 1951 legisla
ture when McCutcheon was a
member of the seven-man Demo
cratic delegation from Anchor
age.”
The nicknames Bobby or Peeler
for police officers derive from
Sir Robert Peel who first organ
ized London’s Scotland Yard in
1829.

2. Military supplies and services
came to $4,400,000,000, compared

nical help came to 2 billion dol
lars.
