ELIGIBLE for the treatments
are children, now in Mndergart- ,
ten, and the second, fifth ' and
^ighth grades. It is at these general age3 when new teeth come
into tap: mouth. ,
However, inasmuch as it has
been emphasized that it is important that fluoride be applied
to new teeth after eruption, re-
gardelss! of age, application can
be made more often.
'       *   »   *
THE TOEATMENT consists of
a series^ of four applications pf
a solution of sodium-fluoride to
the dry* surface of each tooth
after a .thorough cleaning by a

by Public Health studies to re-
'cj^ce oh an averageiof 40   per

The new Home of Michigan Milk Producers' Association at 24270 West Seven-
Mile Road in Detroit. The new structure was recently opened for use fey the association arid provides moderri yet highly functional quarters for the group. A general
open house for members is scheduled for Dec. 13 and 14.
MMPA Moves Into Own
The Jaycees started something
when they got the business and
professional men of Saline to
organize an Association—but it
is now,.up .to the business and
professional' men to finish it It
is generally conceded that such
an association will-not be very
effective unless practically all
of them take part in it.
For the first time in^ the 42-year history of Michigan
Milk Producers' Association, it now has its own office headquarters. The association, one of the largest co-operatives
of its kind in the country recently occupied" its new building
at 24270 West Seven-Mile Road in Detroit. It is just west of
Telegraph Road. -
While the organization which is owned by 15,000 dairy
farmers in Michigan has acquired considerable property over
the years, such as receiving stations, processing plants and
highway fleets, it has always rented office space until this
fall when its new building was completed.
Local, fans who watched    big
Earl  Feldkamp play the back-
. boards in the U-High game last
.week  are   convinced   that    the
lanky-Hornet ought to have a
: good  season.    For    a lad who
: played with a painful finger in-
. jury. Earl gave a good account
'of himself as he picked off rebound after rebound under both
baskets,'-blocking U-High follow-
up attempts   and   setting     up
■•Hornet scoring plays.

Saline "will soon start on its.
C.W.A..',project, that of laying a
sewer-to-drain the. southwest,
corner ;ot the business section
and a rnain storm sewer in the"
northwest part of the. city that
will .drain that whole section. '

■*■ (Continued on'page-5)
THE ASSOCIATION office was
moved   there  from  its previous
headquarters  in the Stephenson
Building,    where it had   rented
space for the past 28 years.
■ The new building, while attractive is highly functional, and is so'
constructed that further expansion* to compensate for organizational growth is possible.
•   *.   »
OFFICIALS of the organization
point "out. that a member open
house is scheduled - at the new
building on December 13, between
10 a.m. and 6 p.m.* and on December 14 from 12 noon to 6 p.m. A
buffet snack will be served those
- attending at that time.  "
The new structure is nearly 110
feet, long and 73 feet wide ahd
contains over 15,000 square feet
of floor space.
Flexibility is the keynote of the
building which has a steel structural frame with masonry facing.
Partitions internally are flexible
and can be removed if additional
space requirements are needed.
SOME OF the features of th«
structure are: The latest in radiant heating and cooling; an assembly room on the lower level
which will hold 150 persons, bu.
can be divided through  modern
fold   partitions    to make    thre}_
meeting rooms; special construction in the IBM room where'ev-
*erything is. double    glazed    anil
, heavily sound-proofed;  the moi-ft
modern telephone system which
includes a built-in public address
unit; a 75-car payed parking lot. [
*   *' *
- COST OF THE building was
about $285,000. ' i
Glenn Lake, .North * Branch,
president of the association, stated
that "We are looking forward tp
a large number of our members
attending the open house De"ceiri-
ber 13 and 14th. Most farmers
have a pride of ownership and
dairy farmers who belong to thje
association have every right to bje
doubly proud of this, their own
headquarters building. Its Iocs
tion is such that it will be more
convenient-for most ofcthem coir
ing in from out-state and we know
they will appreciate the facilitiejs
* to be utilized by their headquai
