Years of studying. months of planning, days of
waiting and hours of polishing, cleaning, drawing,
processing, inking, rolling and checking have not
kept printmaker Polly Faminow from her first
love—lithography. And this young North
Vancouver artist, who is a recent graduate of the
Vancouver School of Art, has now begun to gain
recognition for her fine work.

The highly technical pro-
cess of lithography, which is
also laborious and _ time-
consuming, begins with the
polishing of the stone (usu-
ally a type of limestone,
sometimes marble) to pro-
vide a surface for the image
which is to be reproduced.

Water and carborundum
as grit, which comes in various

grades from coarse to fine, is
used to grind the surface
with another piece of stone or
an air-powered levigator—

foHowed by pumice for
polishing.

and signed by the artist,
usually in pencil.

The stones are then
cleaned so that additional
prints cannot be made of this
limited edition.

Polly Faminow’s prints,
which are highly imagina-
tive, contain shaded forms
and finely drawn objects
resembling dream-like plants .
or creatures. Her drawing is
spontaneous and the organic
shapes and colors found in
nature provide her with ideas
and inspiration.

When the stone’s surface
is completely smooth and
clean, the image is applied
by various methods—the
most commonly used being a
special litho crayon. The
stone is then processed to
replace the drawing -with ink .
to be transferred by rolling
onto a fine quality paper.

Her work is particularly
suitabie for her second
love—book illustration; her
print, reproduced here, for-

pointed out at the recent

that changes in dietary
habits appear to be related to
the fact that the dental health
of children has deteriorated

significantly in recent years.

Tooth decay is caused by
bacterial. enzymes __ turning

fermentable food materials —

into organic acids. These
organic acids eat away the

‘enamel layer of the tooth.

But this decay can be

reduced with a proper diet.
What foods should be

health? The Kellogg Nutrit-

- ion Council recommends a

daily diet containing a

‘variety of goods from the

basic food groups—meat,

fish, poultry and _ eggs;
breads and cereals; fruits
and vegetables and, of

course, milk and cheese. .

Because calcium and pro-

_ foods that supply these two

nutrients. Foods such as
custards, cheese sauces for
vegetables and casseroles,
cubes of cheese for afternoon
snacking or milk, supply
important protein and min-
erals for this function.

Dr. Robert L. Glass, a

well-known: specialist in the -

field of dental science, stated
to an audience of dentists,
doctors and nutritionists at
the symposium, that foods
high in sugar should not be
served for snacks or between
meals. . Especially avoid
sweet foods which are sticky
and adhere to the surface of
the teeth. Such foods may
cause eventual tooth decay.
Dr. Glass also pointed out
‘that recent research has
shown there is no relation-

ship between the consum-
ption of pre-sweetened cer-

eals and tooth decay in

. children. This is encouraging

rey

evidence since these cereals
contribute substantially and
economically to the diets of
millions of Canadians.
Their’ convenience and
taste appeal, especialiy for

the young, help ensure that

cereal
sumed,

products are con-
thereby supplying

essential nutrients to the |

body.

brush their teeth after meals —
or snacks— especially ‘sweet -

snacks.
“With more care and
attention to the food they eat,

combined with good dental ©
health habits—brushing the ©
teeth and visiting the dentist

regularly—children should
be assured of having sound,

- cavity-free teeth.
