John, Mary and Jack I DENTISTRY and PUBLIC HEALTH Approved by American Dental Association and the United States Public Health Service PLATTSMOUTH DENTAL SOCIETY CHAPTER XXXIII Young Carl Knight v.-as just re covering from a badly abscessed tooth. His swollen cheek had resumed its proper curve and, color. His tempera ture and spirit had returned to nor mal. Apparently, aside from some un pleasant memories, he was little the worse for wear, except and this is important except that his tooth was so badly infected that the dentist advised its removal. "I'm sorry." said Dr. Young, after he had thoroughly examined the baby molar. "It would be folly to attempt to save this tooth. It is so badly in fected that it would be injurious to Carl's health to allow it to remain in his mouth." "Oh. that is all right, Doctor," said Mrs. Knight, "take it out. It is only a baby tooth anyway." "You seem to think that baby teeth aren't important," said the dentist as he selected his instruments for the operation. "Oh. I suppose they are, in a way," replied Carl's mother. "But I don't think they are so important as the permanent teeth. Do you?" "Yes, I do," replied the dentist. "The baby teeth are every bit as im portant as the permanent teeth, but few people realize it. "Here is the situation that I am placed in. You have brought your child to me. You want me to give him the best dental tare possible. I know that that baby tooth is a very important organ in his body. I know that its removal will cripple his chew ing mechanism and may cause one or move or his permanent teeta to come in crooked. Crooked teeth are the forerunners of a great deal of dental tumble in later life. "On the other hand. I'm quite sure that if I leave that infected tooth in his mouth, even though I treat it as carefully as possible, some of the in fectedmaterial may drain into his system and infect some other part of his body. So you see, I am confronted by two evils. If I leave the tooth in, his health may be injured. If I take the tooth out, some crooked perman ent teeth may be the result. All I can do is to choose the lesser of the twoevils. which means extract." "Oh dear," said Mrs. Knight. "Isn't there any way that you can keep his second teeth straight even though you do extract this baby tooth?" "Let me qualify my statement about crooked permanent teeth," said Dr. Young. "I don't want to give you the impression that the permanent teeth always come in crooked when the baby teeth are extracted too soon. But such is the case so often that I must warn you about it. I am not going to take any chances of Carl's teeth coming in crooked, and so I amgoing to put a space maintainer am going to put a space maintainer "What is a space maintainer?" ask ed Mrs. Knight. Instead of answering immediately. Dr. Young gave his undivided atten tion to Carl a little anesthetic, a deft twist of the wrist, and the in fected tooth was removed. "Ering Carl back next Friday at four, and I'll show you what a space maintainer is," said the dentist. (To lie Continued) DEFICIENCY OF RAINFALL LINCOLN, Nov. 5 (UP) Seven years of subnormal rainfall have pro duced a total deficiency of 123,651, 093 acre feet of moisture in Ne braska, study of rainfall and water conservation by state and federal agencies disclosed today. The study was part of a report submitted by Governor Cochran to federal officials at Washington re cently where he sought financial aid for drouth destitute farmers. The report stated that a rainfall deficiency of 31.50 inches during the past seven years brought a corres ponding decrease in soil moisture surface water, and ground water sup plies. Present soil moisture was calcu lated as ranging between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 acre feet and against a maximum for the state of about J3.000.000.

(UP) The fos sil of a prehistoric sea lizard, a ma rine reptile believed to have lived more than 200,000,000 years ago, hat been unearthed in the Pembina mountains west of here. The discovery was made by G. Aus tin Schroter, Los Angeles geologist, and a crew in his employ. The giant lizard was found buried in a tine silt, -75 feet beneath the surface of what Schroter believes was once a tidal lagoon. Fossilized ferns and rushes found with the skeleton indicate that the climate then was tropical and mcist in that section of the United States now classified as sub-Arctic. The rock formation in which the skeleton was imbedded is known as the Pierre division of the cretaceous. The Pierre sea, in which the lizard (technically known as Mosasarus) lived at one time, covered much of central North America, Schroter said. It included large areas of the Da kotas, Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas and the prairie province of Canada. Similar specimens have been found in several sections of that area. The sea lizards such as the one un- earthed here are believed to have weighed 15 tons. Their brain, by contrast, weighed three ounces. AIR MANEUVERS TO OPEN DEC. 2 IN MIAMI, FLA. MIAMI, Fla.

A "VVVW 1 PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES i 4- The report of the Plattsmouth pub lic library for October list3 57 new registrations and re - registrations. The number of books exchanged was 3703, an increase over September of 1061 books, but a decrease over Octo ber, 1936, of 890 books. Miss Leonard gave a report before the library board, on the state li- brary meeting in Omaha which she attended in October. She found it inspirational and informing. In the papers given and in talk with other librarians, she find3 that, the volume of circulation seems to be decreasing just now, in most libraries. But at the same time there is much improve ment (as in our own library) in the quality of the books requested. So perhaps what seems a loss, is really a gain a step forward in library service. Four new books are of interest to all of us, coming as they do from the pens of Nebraska authors: "John Andrews, Boss" by John Philip Barn hart was written by a man approach, ing his 80th birthday. It is a novel, the result of Mr. Barnhart's remin iscences on his early days in the White River country, near Long Pine, Nebr. Ilelene Margaret, Omaha poetess, has written a new narrative poem entitled "The Great Horse." It is a dramatic tragic tale of the trek of the Mormons from Nauvoo, 111., to winter quarters where Omaha now is. The Great Horse is a symbol of lib crtv. the "croal of heart's desire," for 'which the Mormons were seeking. "The Rumelhearts of Rampler Ave," by Maude Smith Delavau is a story of humor and charm, which tells of Mrs. Rumelheart's search for a permanent home, and how, at long last, she and all her family find it.
