Candy gives dentist pride, kids money and troops sweets


"Halloween candy collected Monday at the office of Dr. David Jones, D.D.S., will soon be on its way to troops overseas thanks to Chapter Three of the Blue Star Mothers.
Now in his third year of participating in the Candy for the Troops Program, Jones and his staff collected 110 pounds of candy from 32 children and one Marine in three hours Monday afternoon. Jones said the program is intended to reduce the amount of sweets in the mouths of children and give it instead to soldiers far from home. The office will continue collecting the candy through Wednesday."
