![Emergency Clinics. Emergency Clinics are at ])resent held in Wrexham—all day Eriday and on Saturday mornings. Additional Clinics are held according to the size of the waiting list in Wrexham and Colwyn Bay. Acceptance of Treatment. 'Phis has continued at a high level, averaging over 80 per cent. It has only been possible, owing to shortage of staff, to complete 82 schools. Staff, Despite frequent advertisments in the press and pro- fessional journals, it has been impossible, so far, to replace our staff', let alone bring it up to establishment. It would a])pear, however, that the tide is turning, as the number of Dental Officers entering the School Health Service is in- creasing. Perhaps in the not too distant future we can, ex- pect an increase in our own staff. Fluorine. As promised, several samples of water were obtained and tested for their fluoride content. Results show the fluoride content to be very low in the following; Llanrwst, 0.15 parts per million of water; Denbigh, less than 0.1 p.p.m.; Wrexham (average of tests), 0.08 p.p.m The question of adding tlourine to water supplies presents great difficulty in Denbighshire, as in the Hiraethog Rural District alone there are some fifteen different water supplies. I would like to thank the Medical Officers and the nursing and office staff for their continuous help, and par- ticularly I would like to thank the teaching staff' for their great co-operaticm; but for them it would be extremely difficult, if not im])ossible, to carry on, especially in rural schools.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28840574_0044.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
