A. Dundas of :Seaforth. Northern Ontario's children will have a soft hand and a quick femin- ine smile to dispel their fears when ' they receive the usually dreadsum- nions to the dentist this winter. For Dr. Ruth Dundas has gone north with one of the Red Cross' two mobile dental units as 'the first woman dentist with this free but valuable service. Dr. Dundas, an attractive 23 -year- old brunette who had "no particular reason" for wanting to be a dentist, .graduated from the :University of Toronto in 1947 and then went to the •'University of California, to` do ins research in the effects of phosphor= "� ous deficiency in rats and also did work with the new fluorine research. On her return to Canada a short Telegram while ago she accepted this position which will take her 165 miles into Haliburton to Wilberforce, a little village with one school and, it is est- imated, about 66 children. "I don't know how long I will be there," she says, "but it will be part of the winter; and after that if I like it I may continue the same work." Most of Dr. Dundas' work. will be with children but she does not anticipate any trouble with these sometimes refractory patients. "I shall be kind but firm," she saYs. The dental unit, which has just come back from the Parry Sound area, is equipped with regulation dentist's chair, sterilizing facilities, and finished in warm brown cream and black. It will be attached to the school whence it will get its power and water. Though there are living quarters built into the unit, Dr. Dun- das will live at the Red Cross outpost hospital during the cold weather.
