The children of Zion Lutheran Nursery School of Marietta have been learn- ing about nutrition and good physical and dental health. They have visited the Donegal-Conoy Family Health Center in Marietta. Mrs. Marilyn Estell, Health Center nurse, weighed each of the children, checked their eyes, and showed them the equipment and rooms used by the doctors. She also let the kids listen to their own heart- beats and checked the blood pressure of several. All of this helped reassure the children that they have nothing to fear from doctors. The kids then visited the center’s dentist, Dr. Keith Stewart. He explained his equipment and gave each boy and girl a ride in the dentist’s chair. Each child was given a bag containing a plastic glove, tongue depressor, and medicine cup. Doctor Stewart gave them tooth- brushes. Applications are still being accepted for the 1979-80 school year.
