lice is a four letter word

I By SALLY DENNEY Guest Feature Writer Just the word . . . lice, makes my head itch. It also makes you extremely angry, especially when you find out one of your children has them. You are angry with the school, you are furious with the child that has exposed your child, and you are enraged with yourself. You think, “If only I had been a better mother, my child would not have them.” But, you are wrong. Lice are insects and as common as they have become in the last few years, it would be like saying, “If I were a better parent my house wouldn’t have flies in the summertime.” If you have happy, healthy children with numerous friends, it would be a rare household that hasn’t had lice and flies. The best way to work joss the anger you feel is in the deep cleaning of your house that is mandatory once the lice problem has been discovered. I know, it DENTURES When the natural teeth are lost ’through an accident or disease, it is necessary to provide a person with false teeth. In order for dentures to be effective, the underlying gum and hpne structure must be in good condition. To measure this, a dentist will take Xrays, and make a visual inspection of the gums and mouth. If the patient will be able to wear false teeth, the dentist will make physical impressions or molds of the gums, so appropriate dentures can be designed. On average, it may take a couple weeks to receive a complete evaluation from a dentist, to have dentures made, and then adjusted in follow-up visits. Fitting of dentures is a process which should not be rushed. Since normal changes in the gums and bones affect the fit of dentures over time, the dentist should examine them at least once a year. If dentures become loose or uncomfortable, or .minor adjustment may be required. Relining of dentures may be necessary every two to four years. Presented As A Community Service By: George C.

For those families who have not received a survey letter because they have • no children in school, additional copies are available from the school office. The survey helps to determine the number of classes and teachers needed for the following school year.

worked for me. All the time I was stripping beds, vacuuming curtains and carpets, washing bedding, toys, and heads of hair I was angry. Angry that my child had been exposed, angry that I had the extra work, and angry that I felt so humiliated and embarrassed that this had happened to us. When I first discovered our um*~ wanted visitor, my first instinct was to trade in the child for a newer model. But, then # my maternal instincts took over and I decided to tackle the problem in an informed, educated manner. I looked up lice in my dictionary hoping for at least a picture. Lice, it informed me, is the plural of louse . . . “No kidding,” I thought. I looked up lice or Pediculus humanus in my Childcraft Guide for Parents. The book hadn’t given the critter the time of day. It was too disgusting for them to even write about I figured. Then, after some deep thought, I surmised that maybe people who read encyclopedias never get lice, except I already knew that theory was wrong because I was reading an encyclopedia and we definitely had them. I finely located a picture in another dictionary. There in a black and white drawing was our enemy. He looked even more offensive in the drawing than he did in real life.

Students donate blood at WCH The American Red Cross Bloodmobile recently visited Warsaw Community High School. There were 76 persons who presented themselves. The goal was to collect 75 units of blood; however, there were eight persons deferred for medical reasons, leaving a net of 68 units collected. Definition Nonchalance; The ability to look like an owl when you’ve acted like a.jackass.

? The only drawback was the definition didn’t help me to understand why we had them. Matter of fact, I still have not read an article that tells me exactly why, after all this time, that lice have suddenly became so common and numerous. In addition, I can’t understand ~ why, if they can make a spray repellent for mosquitoes or a repellent for fleas, that they haven’t come out with a hair spray repellent that would discourage lice. I am sure they could sell millions of cans. Wouldn’t it be easier to correct the problem before it starts than trying to remedy it after the fact? Wouldn’t you just love to see a back-to-school sale with lice repellent as one of the items for sale? Any store that would carry the product would undoubtedly be sold out as soon as it was stocked. I don’t know about you, but I know I would be one of their first customers. Guest feature writer, Sally Denney, resides in Warsaw.
