Try Utah Theatre Got a case of the winter blues? University of Utah's Little Theatre offers a handy cure this week in Moliere's "The Misan-thrope" a classic of French comedy to which Director Mar-get- ts has added such a special touch of gaiety as harpsicord music, with Ron Daum at the keyboard, and French dances, directed by Ron Ross. "Misanthrope" is the story of a Frenchman who is constantly at odds with the world over its imperfecions. "Alceste can not love people because he loves perfection," says Margetts. Joseph Lambie plays Alceste, and Madelon Thomas plays his one love, Celimene. The all stu-dent cast talks in rhymed lines. "We're doing the Richard Wil-bur translation, the version most successful on Broadway," said the director. "Misanthrope" will play six times Monday through Saturday at 8:30 p.m. in Pioneer Memo-rial Theatre's Little Theatre. Ten million acres of public lands have been osld under the Desert tLand Law. Utah State Dental Assn. Charts Chi!drens Health Week Feb. 2-- 8 Americans may be "eating their way toward dentures," but there's hope that they may soon be able to have their cake and keep their teeth. Dr. R. B. Montgomery, Mur-ray, chairman of the Utah State Dental Association Dental Health Committee, said following a meeting of the Committee in Salt Lake City to prepare for the observance of Children's Dental Health Week Feb. 2-- 3, that researchers "now foresee the possibility of developing a vaccine which could make tooth decay a thing of the past." "It has been discovered." Dr. Montgomery noted, "through in-tensive research, that, in certain forms of animals, tooth decay is a transmissible disease, that it will not occur in a germ free at-mosphere and that in rodents at least it is caused by bacteria of the streptococcus family." "Although this information can't yet be interpreted in rela-tion to man, scientists are get-ting closer to discovering what causes decay the most common of man's chronic diseases." Dr. Montgomery said, "It is known that, for tooth decay to occur in humans, fermentable carbohydrates, such as sugar, must be present in the diet and the annual per capita consump-tion of sugar in the U.S. has in-creased almost ten fold in 100 years." He noted that Americans com-pound the problem by elminat-in- g all fibrous, coarse foods that give exercise to chewing mus-cles and serve to help cleanse the tooth surfaces from their diet. Soft foods become impacted between teeth and are more dif-ficult to remove by brushing. "More diligent home and pro-fesion- al care of teeth is neces-sary with our current dietary habits," he said. He cited fluori-dation, brushing teeth or rinsing the mouth with water immedi-ately after eating, early and reg-ular dental treatment and a diet low in sweets as measures for improving dental health.
