X-Ray Equipment
Added to County
Dental Health Prog.
Newly installed x-ray equipment is the latest advance in an expanded dental health program for the children of Ra'ppahannock County. This, and other improvements in the program, the Rappahannock County Dental Health Committee announced this week, has been made possible by grants from the Public Welfare Foundation and from state and local contributions. The equipment has been installed in the dental office in the basement of the Washington Elementary School. A dental drill has been rented from the state, and other equipment has been donated by Dr. Howard Berger of Clairmonte, at Washington, Va. The office will be staffed by Dr. William Lutz of Front Royal, who will be there on Monday and Friday of every other week, and Dr. A. V. Philip Ferlazzo of Culpeper one day a week. Teachers of the county schools are also cooperating with the committee in educating the children and informing the parents of the need for dental care. The committee tries to see that a child needing dental work is not neglected for lack of ability to pay. Many children have already been helped with much needed dental care. Those attending the clinic are also given free tooth brushes to encourage proper mouth hygiene at home. The Rappahannock County Dental Health Committee is composed of Mrs. Annie Cook, principal of Washington Elementary School; Mrs. Mary Quaintance, principal of! Sperryville Elementary School; Mr. H. B. Winfrey, principal of Rappahannock High School; Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin, County Welfare Superintendent, Mrs. Frances Thornton, Health Nurse, and Miss Ruby Jenkins of the County Agent’s office.
