DentalCare Neededby SchoolChildren During the spring o f this year a total o f 406 Cedarville township school students had their teeth checked by a dentist. The exam­ inations were made by two Greene county dentists, Dr. E. Nelson Reeves and Dr. Russell Haines who donated their services, and Dr. Donald Scott o f the Ohio state department o f health. • Of the total number examined there were only 50 children with­ out dental defects. A t the time the state dentgl trailer was at the school, 3-1 children had some cor­ rections made. Since then 17 stu­ dents have reported visits to the dentist. That leaves over 300 chil­ dren who need dental attention. Parents are urged to see that this is done and report back to the school. It is important that every boy and girl have good teeth and it is necessary fo r the school to have a record o f all corrections in order to evaluate the dental program as carried on this year and to plan future school health programs.

In the Xavier game at the local diamond on Thursday, the Jackets after being blanked for four innings broke the scorless dead­ lock in the fifth as they put to­ gether three hits, a walk and were aided by one of the visitor’s errors for three runs. The locals added another brace of runs in the bottom of the seventh. Townsley, working in the near freezing weather and suffering with a cold, allowed only five hits while his mates jumped on Davis and McQuade for 10 safties. The locals played perfect defensive ball while the X team committed three miscues. At Findlay Saturday the Jack­ ets erased a one run home team lead to go out in front 4-1. The locals had added another, but by th ^ ninth inning the home club, knotted the count at 5-5 and then went on to win in the last o f the 11th when they scored the game- winning run after two were out. Tuesday’s scheduled game with Wittenburg at Springfield was washed out.
