Treatment Tried
For Dental Decay
New dental decay can be re
duced some 40? by applying a j
eolorless, almost tasteless i
Squid to the teeth of youngs- i
iers, Dr. Bart C. LaRue, den-1
tist with the Alaska Depart-1
went of Health, said yester-!
day. i
Dr. and Mrs. LaRue have
been in Kodiak for the past
two weeks giving treatments
and doing work for the terri
torial office.
The liquid, is a 2% solution
»f sodium fluoride, and can be
applied by a dentist, “Ideally,
applications should start when
a child is 3 years, to protect
ihis baby teeth, and repeated
at 3 to 4 year intervals during
the period his teeth are de
veloping, ” Dr, LaRue said.
However, sodium floride
may be given to a child any
age.
Dr. LaRue recommended •
that public spirited citizens
form a committee to work in
conjunction with their local
•dentist in carrying on the pro
gram. He further recom
i mended that the committee
arrange to raise the necessary t
• funds to take care of thei
[children of medically indigent'
| families.
J He pointed out that fluoride!
I applications are not 100% ef- J
' fective in reducing new den
j tal decay. The child, following
* an application, should con
[ tinue to visit the dentist
! periodically, brush his teeth
regularly and eat less sweets.
Protection lasts for 3 years or
more.
Many communities in the
1 states have arranged for
1 sodium floride to be placed in
i the city water systems, Dr.
| LaRue said.

! Tuesday afternoon on a charge
' of larceny and is held in the

i to post $1,000 bail,
j A complaint signed by Chief

driver, Stan Nelson, partner
in the B & B, and Elaine Gor*!
such, employee of the B & B
liquor store, plus rolls of sil
ver and currency found on
Knagin when searched by

I decision in binding him over
I to the grand jury.
U. S. Deputy Marshal Clar
ence Dizney had a glove found
on Knagin and another found
near the broken window in
the B & B, where Knagin is
believed to have entered, and
they were presented as evi

drunk on the night of Jan. 27,
' and did not remember a thing
from 1:30 pm till he awakened
in the jail.
The robbery is believed to
have occured around 4 or 5 am.
Knagin has a long record of
local arrests and has been
jailed several times for petty
offenses. This is the first time
he will come before a higner
court. He said he is a World

City May Get
Money For Jail Site
The City of Kodiak may
j receive payment for the pro
' perty, formerly owned by the
city, on which the new U. S.
Federal Jail now stands.
In 1948 the city held a big
bonfire and destroyed the
j “old” city hall to make way for
construction of the federal
structure. The members of the
council and the mayor under
stood, at that time, the city
was to receive $1,500 for the
removal of the building and
for the land.
Red tape and an unwilling
ness of government bureaus to
pay for the property have
held up the payment. This
week Buell Nesbett, Anchor
age attorney, informed the
city that the payment of $1,
500 would be made. Nesbett
was earlier hired by the city
to attempt to obtain the
money.
The Alaska Steamship Com
pany freighter, Elepiish Knot,
unloaded freight and cargo for
town at the city dock last
Saturday.
