CATHOLIC WOMEN’S CLUB BUSY
The Women’s Club of St. Phillip’s Catholic church is having a
very busy season.
On Aug. 26, the ladies had a “Back to school luncheon.” Acco-
rding to Ann Malecki, president, the event was a big success. On
Sept. 28, the Club will present its annual Fall Style Show. Home-
sewn-fashions will be featured this year.
Members are also busy working on crafts to be sold at the ch-
urch bazaar which will be held in October.

SCHOOL BUS NEWS
According to Connie Niemi, chairman of the school commit-

Notes will be sent home with children to notify parents if and
when the change is made.
SOCCER COACHES SOUGHT
With the end of softball season, comes the beginning of soc-
cer.
It is apparent, from all the interest shown that we could have
several teams. However, there is a need for coaches. If you would

at 370-1057. Any one wanting to play soccer can also call John or
check at the field across from the Fire Station when you see teams
practicing.

DENTAL FACTS
The author of a dental
survey says the fear of “being
hurt” compounded by a fear
of “the unknown” are two
reasons why a child’s first
dental appointment can be a
very traumatic experience.
*****
Queen Elizabeth I had
such dental problems that
it’s reported that she left in
the middle of many affairs of
state because of severe pain.
*****
Root canal therapy by an
endodontist can save teeth
that would otherwise have to
be removed with up to 95
percent success.
*****
Hypersensitive teeth are
not necessarily diseased, but
are excessively sensitive to
hot and cold food, sweets,
acids and physical pressure.
A special toothpaste called
Sensodyne is reported to re-
lieve pain for two out of
three patients with tooth
hypersensitivity. Pain relief
builds up with continued use.
*****
Contrary to popular opin-
ion, drinking milk and taking
vitamin and mineral pills will
not make teeth less suscepti-
ble to decay. A well-balanced
diet can help maintain
healthy gums and bones, but
cannot make teeth stronger
or less resistant to decay.
*****
Dental plaque, rather than
hormones, precipitates the
cause of gum diseases in
pregnant women, according
to a researcher at the Univer-
sity of Maryland School of
Dentistry.
