QUALIFICATIONS OF A CANDIDATE
Nome’s P.H.S. Toothache
THE PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION, fully
aware of the importance of healthy teeth for all
children, have appealed to Governor Egan and the
medical and dental associations of the state to make
the necessary arrangements so that the Public Health
Service dentist located here may take private patients
until such time as a full-time dentist can be found to
take up residence here.
The P-TA has made it clear it was not seeking the
services of the P.H. dentist at the same rates charged
to the Eskimo people, but are willing to pay whatever
is necessary so that the white children of the com
munity will have the same privileges of healthy teeth
as other residents.
From some sources in the community groups have
expressed themselves opposed to this appeal, as they
feared socialized medicine, or, on the other hand,
thought this might discourage a dentist from coming
here. The P-TA is not favoring socialized medicine,
but is only seeking non-discrimination in the matter
of health, to bridge the period during which there is
not a resident dentist located here.
It is a unique situation in this day and age when
a dentist in a community must wait for an emergency
or extract a tooth which might have been Saved, be
cause the rules and regulations prevent him from
taking the necessary steps to save a tooth by regular
inspection.
The taxpayer, who makes the Public Health
Service possible, must either take a costly trip to some
other town, or see his children’s teeth rot away for
* lack of care. This type of discrimination was not
intended, nor was it forseen when this special service
was set up. The time has come to be just to all.

•UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., OP)
— Efforts to fill a vacant seat in
the U.N. Security Council yes
terday were suspended until next

Assembly. It was not able, how
ever, to muster the rejuired two
thirds majority.
The vote on the 25th and final
ballot was 43 for Poland and 36
for Turkey. This represented only
a slight shift from Monday, and
was exactly the same as the 14th
ballot whioh opened the morn
ing’s session.
