This new equipment, pri- marily for instrumental analy- sis of samples or specimens of liquids, gases and solids, has allowed the department to triple its work load. These instruments are vital in deter- mining the level of such hazards as lead and mercury in the work environment. In addition, a lab analyst has been added to the staff to _ keep pace with the demands of industry and labour and pro- vide a more rapid evaluation of samples sent in. The WCB's hearing con- servation program has also been greatly accelerated during the past year. Last year it trained $0 people as industrial audiometric technicians in B.C. It's a two-and-a-half day course run by the WCB's audiologist who instructs the technicians in the use of testing equipment for testing and evaluating | a worker's hearing. ‘~~ Management and labor throughout the province have shown a keen interest in the program. So far 42 companies with approximately $0,000 em- ployees have taken part in the hearing conservation program. Many of these have set up their own testing facilities, complete with sound-proof booth. In addition, many com- panies have now initiated a hearing test prior to hiring employees, and subsequent follow-up tests during the course of employment. In this way the hearing of workers will be monitored and should the tests reveal a hearing loss, workers can then be protected against the source or noise before permanent damage is * done. A preliminary survey of some of the workers in the high noise risk industries revealed that two-thirds of them showed some degree of hearing loss. In most cases, if caught in time, many of these hearing defects can be arrested. Of course the only solution is prevention of hearing {oss in the first place. Superstition and Lore About Teeth Ran High Among Tribes Pain: a feeling of distress! But dental pain, unlike some others, frequently is elusive and difficult to pin down. Often after probing there seems to be no physical evidence of its cause. And sometimes it fades as mysteriously as it appeared. Commonly, reassurance or an explanation relieves fears, ten- sion and subsequently pain. Pain, of course, has been well studied and even in history it was not only the paleface that suffered from dental pain. Reserach has shown that the North American Indian rarely had tooth decay but did experience gum disease or pyorrhea. Instead of iting the for sore mouth or gums and chewed various plants to relieve decayed teeth and canker sores. Tewa Indians used mosses, lichens and ferns for cold sores. Some Indian women stained their teeth black with a mixture of crushed herbs in wax, while warriors wore necklaces of teeth extracted “from ferocious animals. And as early as the first century A.D. in Ecuador gold in teeth was used for decorative and beauty reasons, Although superstition and lore about teeth ran high among the tribes, the appear- ance of a child's first tooth was a celebrated event. tribal dentist he, of course, was treated by the medicine man who had supernatural powers conferred on him by the gods. This enabled him to cure the. sick and perform great feats of magic. Actually, pain relief was primarily achieved psychoso- matieally but some of his remedies .are still being used today.
