Dalgleish, Director of the Division of Dental Health of the Utah State Board of Health, on a recent .visit to Duchesne county, announced that a program of dental service, through the facilities of the Mobile Dental Unit will be carried on in certain selected areas of Duchesne county for several weeks, commencing September 5. Accompanied by Dr. N. F. the dentist who operates the Mobile Unit, Dr. Dalgleish conferred with community groups who will sponsor this service in Tabi-on- a and Hanna. Numerous surveys in Duchesne county show clearly that there are many children in these areas that are in dire need of dental attention. A survey also discloses the fact that in many instances dental facilities are not available. Tabiona has been selected as the site for the initial demonstra- -' tion in this county, but upon completion of the service there, it will move to other central points where children can be conveniently transported to it. Educational Demonstration The Mobile Dental Unit is operated as an educational demonstration project in dental health. It is not to be construed as a relief project. Dental services will be furnished to children under 13 years of age, the purpose being to bring to children, parents, and people in general an appreciation and understanding of the necessity and importance of dental care, and that through organized community effort competent, reputable dentists will be encouraged to extend their services to Continued on Page 8 After extended investigations of applicants for the position: both among local members of the school system and from other districts, Joseph T.

In many areas where the damage has been the insects extremely intense, have been forced onto irrigated crops. A program for the eradication of grasshoppers has been set up, but Director Peterson says that "It is not functioning too well in some of the counties. Lack of understanding of the program on the farmers part, lack of interest on the part of officials in charge, and the willingness of farmers to take the damage rather than the responsibility of spreading the bait are attributed as the main reasons for the programs laxity. The Director stressed the point that although the government has taken steps to destroy the hoppers, the basic responsibility still lies with the farmer., Under the present program the Federal government furnishes the bran, arsenic and other materials needed to mix bait. This material is furnished to counties on the understanding that they mix the bait or see that it is properly mixed, and that the proper machinery is set up for distributing the bait. But after the county has gone to this trouble the responsibility of getting- the poison out where it will do some gocd rests with the farmer; he must see to it that it is spread properly.
