Thursday April 14 1960
Dentists Find
Defluoridation
Here Helpful '
A team of dentists from the
U. S. Public Health Service in
Washington D. C were here
Monday and Tuesday to exam-
ine teeth of the children in
grammar school high school
and the colored school in con
nection with the defluoridation
plant which was installed here
by the government eight years
ago.
A very marked impr6Vehient
in the condition of the teeth of
those born after installation of
the plant as compared with
children born before insallation
was noted by Dr. Frank Law
of the National Institute of
Health who was in charge of
the examinations.
The preliminary results over-
all tests looked very good Dr.
Law stated.
The plant was set up on a
ten year basis but so many inquiries-had
been made as to the
results the tests were made
after eight years according to
Dr. Law. t
A complete report will come
out upon completion of the
tests here and tests in Briton
South Dakota where another
defluoridation plant is located
There are only two such exper-
imental plants in the United
States.
A fluoride content of .8 parts
per million is desirable in. the
water in" Bartlett While up to
1.0 parts per million is deshv
abe in South Dakota' Dr. Law
states. The difference is in the
consumption of water more in
the south "than in the north.
Assisting Dr. Law in the sur-
vey were Dr. Albert Russel of
the National Institute of Den-
tal Research Dr. James Lovett
of the Dallas regional office of
the U. S. Public Health Service
Dr.. Gunner Sydow of the Pub-
lic Health Service in Washing-
ton and Dr. Darwin Castillo
Public Health Dentist from
Puerto Rico.
Dog Vaccination
Day Is Tuesday
Dr. H. T. Barren of Taylor
will be here Tuesday -afternoon
to vaccinate pets in the Bart-
lett area against rabies. The
clinic will be held at the Fire
Station starting at 1:00 p. m.
A fee of $2.00 per animal will
be charged.
The clinic will be held in ac-
cordance with a city ordinance
which requires all dogs -to be
t i.-j : l unL: .! 4-
vaccinated against rabies and to
wear tags. Unvaccinated stray
dogs are subject to destruction.
Everyone is urged to have their
pets vaccinated at this tinte.
Rabies continues to be a prob
lem in Bell County with six
animals being found to be rabid
so far this year. This is already
higher than the median of five
rabid animals a year for the
past five years. The species af-
fected' this year are as follows:
one cow two skunks one dog
and two cats. There is beginn-
ing to be an overflow of wild
life rabies into the domestic
animal population as shown by
cases in cats and dogs.
In order to combat rabies ef-
fectively three steps must be
taken. They are 1. destruction
of wildlife namely skunks and
foxes 2. vaccination of pets
and 8. destruction of unvaccin-
ated ownerless stray dogs. At
present the Bell County Health
Department is pushing the vac
cination of pets and has the
rabies vaccination clinics sched-
uled' for AmjamjiIiAhn& and
Bartlett.

Friday Night
A masked gunman entered
the home of Bill Brisbin here
Friday night threatened Mrs.
Brisbin and escaped with $50
taken from her billfold. No def-
inite clues have been found in
the case as yet according to
City Marshall Homer Price.
The incident occurred about
10 p. m. shortly after her hus-
band a truck drive had left the
house. -
' Mrs. Brisbin stated that the
man wore a mask and white
gloves but that she was able to-
distinguish the man as being;
white. '
She encountered the man
with a gun in the kitchen after
going to investigate a noise at
the back door. He had entered
by cutting the screen door and
reaching through to unhook the
latch.
The intruder demanded her
monej' and she gave him her
purse which was almost torn
apart while he searched for the
billfold. The billfold was found
in the yard Saturday morning'
but the money was missing.
He instructed her not to call
for 30 minutes on threat that
he would kill her.. There is no
telephone in the house. Mrs.
Brisbin said the man cursed
profanely the entire time.
In investigating the incident
the City Marshall stated that
several neighbors had reported
noticing an old pickup circling
the block for some time that
night. It is thought that one
man waited in the pickup while
the other entered the house.
The sheriff's department was
notified.
