In most cases, Mother Nature will solve the problem event- ually.

However, there are cases where the ligament enlarges, causing spaced front teeth, In this case, the ligament should be cut away so that spacing is minimized or prevented, Second, some children have bad habits such as thumbsucking, lip biting and tongue thrusting. They may also have a combination of these habits, which give excel- lent odds that some abnormal- ity will develop in the front teeth, usually spacing, The children should be encouraged to stop their habits, but dental applicances may have to be used to stop them. Aside from an emotional disturbance arising, the habits should be stopped as soon as possible. Third, teeth themselves can cause spacing. ‘“Peg- shaped" teeth may grow where there is more jaw space than teeth to fill. In some cases, teeth are normal, but there's too much jaw. A_ specialist, known as an orthodontist, can help correct the appearance. Fourth, unerupted extra teeth can cause irregular eruption of the permanent teeth causing spacing. The extra teeth may have to be surgically removed to prevent further irregularity.

Letter to the Editor ‘ Kinnaird Resident Wonders About Amalgamation af this Time last Thursday night in the Twin Rivers Elementary School. A possible cost of about $100,000 to unite our present fire departments. This could mean four or five fully paid firemen, the paying of the same monies now being paid and any future increase, as has just proposed city if amalgamation is voted in? New industry could pos- sibly then go across the river or to Blueberry Creek. Would we have to have our own people to look after the street lights? Why has there been sucha lack of to the occurred with the of the Castlegar Fire Department. The members in the Castlegar Fire Department are at present receiving $3 per hour for time at practices and the same hourly rate when at a fire. In Kinnaird the town pays the firemen's club an annual sum of $1,200 which is used for club activities. Have we enough popula- tion to warrant amalgamation at this time? What is amalgamation going to do to our taxes? If. present taxes increase, what about those who are building or have homes in the upper price bracket, also how about the people on fixed incomes? If, as I heard Thursday night, Celgar’s present tax base is upped to the same as the rest of us, how can we expect new industry to open in the Car Rolls Into Another Vehicle in Parking Lot No injuries resulted last Thursday when an unattended car, owned by J, D.
