See kelation BetweenDenjjstLack And Modern Hospital FaciIitIes Possibility that a connection existed between the Iack of dentists in certain areas and inadequate hospital facilities was seen as members of a work- shop of the Ontario Dental Pub- lic Health Council- met in To- ronto last week. Among recommendations adopted by the workshop was one dealing with hospitat facili- ties which provided that hospi- tals improve their facilities for treating dental patients. Sev- eral types of patients, among them paraplegics, the mentally retarded and hemophelies, need hospital care while dentistry is carried out. Yet only a handful of hospitals in the province have dental services and these are not required by the Cana- dian Committee on Hospital Ac- creditation.

Girls It was recommended also that a survey be carried out to find out exactly what facilities exist for dental facilities in hospitals. A joint conference of the On- tario Hospital Association and professional bodies was §uggeSt- ed. A proposal to establish a hew dental school in Ontario made by Dr. Matthew B. Dymond, Minister of Health, was endors- ed by members of the work- shop. Dr. Dymond made his proposal at plenary session of the Council and received the workshop's support within hours. Dr. Dymond said he was em- powered by the Ontario gov- ernment to enter into negotia- tions to set up the school. The workshop, under the chairman- ship of Dr. E. T. Guest, of To- ronto, not only endorsed the suggestion -it raised the ante. It suggested that two new. den- tal schools be established. In all, four workshops met in Toronto.

Among them were: That there is evidence that rural ,school facilities are in, adequate to insure students- get, ting into university dental courses. In a plenary session key speaker Dr. Stewart Mac- Gregor, of Toronto, called for a Royal Commission on Rural education to study these evi- dences of failure of school sys- tems. That Grade 13 examinations alone should not be considered the best index of a student's potential to enter university and that research be undertak- en to find a better criterion. That more vocational guid- ance be introduced into rural schools. Of 110 students in the University of Toronto Dental School only seven come from rural areas. Evidenee h a s shown in the past that city - bred boys will not go to the country to practise. So without an increasing number of rural bred youngsters entering den- tal college there seems little hope for dentists to settle in rural areas. • 'That efforts be made to per- suade rural parents to encour- age youngsters to take up den- tistry as a career. Delegates suggested that com- munities which need a dentist should look upon him 'as '+:A "small industry", helping hi find office and other facilitie4,, to encourage him to locate in; the community. Dr. John An, ders, chairmanof the Ontario. Dental Public Health Council, pointed out that at present, whereas Toronto has one den- tist to every 1600 people, cer; tain rural areas have only one dentist "to 16,000. There are at present about 100 Ontario rural communities without a dentist at all. Delegates urged that it would be "unrealistic to expect to set up proper dental facilities" in communities having less than 4,000 population including their surrounding districts. At the same time, they urged the dental profession to play the fullest possible part. in helping dentists to locate them- selves in communities where they are needed. They suggested that a system of dental intern- ships be studied. Under such a system young graduate dentists would be required to serve a year or possibly longer in com- munities to which they would be assigned, before being al- lowed to establish in communi- ties of their choice. Recommendations made 'by the workshops will be studied, and implemented as they are shown to be feasible by a perm- anent executive set up under the 'Council. Members are: Dr. " Anders, Dr. Currie, Dr. Dawe, Dr. E. F. Shaunessy, of Wing - ham, Dr. Murray Purcell, of Pembroke, and Dr. Frank Phil- lips, of Brockville.

The extent of the diversity that is united in our nation is suggested by the many expressions of Christmas greeting arranged around "Joyeux Noel" and "Merry Christmas."

SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1962- Second Section, Pages 9 to 16 The Meaning of By JANE SCOTT What does Christmas mean to a space -conscious generation? Christmas 1962 dawns on a' topsy-turvy .world, a world that is a study in contrasts, peopled with men and. women with split personalities, who run the whole gamut of human emo- tions and reactions -many of them without hope or ambition. They despair of achieving any- thing themselves, and lack faith to beijeve .that anyone can do anything for them. Others are driven by com- pulsion to reach for the stars, and work 'feverishly to conquer every obstacle in this world and in outerspace. What does Christmas mean to this heterogeneous multitude milling about on . odr ' little planet? Varied Meaning It has a • different meaning for every individual. To the hopeful and ambitious, it means greater hope, opportunity; to the despairing it means more despair. For such will envy the happy, joyful people who com- memorate the birthday of their King wth praise, adoration and feasting. But there are groups of people who have . enough in common to be categorized. What does Christmas mean to these? For the 'first time in history spacemen can be grouped into two categories. Christian eyes will turn to Cape Canaveral, en- visioning the launching pad from which a few conditioned astronauts were shot into or- bit --some of them Christians with a vision of conquering new worlds for Christ, • On. Christmas these will for bAf�yiitfSiM,.'•titYiY&Irhrrie1it ait A their dreams to be the first man on Mars or Venus and bow at the feet, of first and greatest inter -space traveller who once "looked down from heaven upon the children of men" and saw their plight and who, at Christmas time "came down from heaven," not to conquer, new worlds, but to save an old world. To accomplish His, mission, Jesus "laid aside His glory and took upon him the form of man," and he laid down His life. He left a cross standing on a hill in Golgotha, cen- turies before the Russians deposited the Hammer and Sickle on the moon. And the Christian community turns back to honor the man who was born to be King for His completed mission. The Skeptics But there is a larger group of skeptical space - conscious men who d'o not recognize the One who came down to earth. These have their eyes turned upward and their hearts set upon conquering Mars, Venus and the moon. They ignore the voices of the past and ask: Are other planets inhabited? They ask because they will not be- lieve the answers already re- vealed and answered by the Christ of Christmas who came down from a region inhabited with beings created by God to live and move in weightless- ness without benefit of space suit or capsule. What does Christmas mean to the atheist? It is a time when they ridicule and despise the simple folk who, by faith, have seen the heavenly hosts and 'heard and understood' their tie t„ms At Christmas Today The messengers that rent the sky and startled the shepherds were able to communicate with earthmen and be understood. "You ' will find' the babe in a manger," directed the angel, "and they found Mary and Jo- seph and the child," as the angel had said. It may not be long before an atheistic spaceman from earth lands on an inhabited planet. And he May have difficulty making himself understood and convincing the inhabitants that he came UP from earth. And in his haste to prove himself and his mission he. may' lose his life. History may repeat itself; it may take 2,000 years to con- vince Martians that the planet earth is inhabited and some may never be convinced. Many are still not convinced that Jesus came down to earth from heaven, and that He as- cended again into heaven. But an increasing number of every tribe and nation have accepted Him and His mission and will join the angelic throng in praise and adoration from Beth- lehem to the farthest outposts of the world. To the Stars It is significant that the birth of Christ heralded a resurgence of interest in the heavens. The wise men affirmed: "We have seen His star in the East and have come to worship him." The shepherds were incredu- lous and amazed when they looked up and saw and heard the heavenly hosts, In recent years there has been renewed interest as sputniks and telstar and little Sir Echos whirl through space. The heaVelta, indeed, are tell began to be revealed when the great Creator flung open the portals of heaven and gave the world a fleeting glimpse of the heavenly host and announced the good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. But not all people in Bethle- hem welcomed the divine guest who came down from heaven to be the Saviour of the world. But some did and *to these Christmas means new life and hope and adventure and renew- ed interest in the things which are not seen but which -are eternal. • And year by passing year the day draws nearer 'when "every knee shall bow" before the Man born to be King. From some unexplored region the Christ of A• Christmas will return to con- vince the skeptics that He is who He claimed to be when He came to Bethlel�g m as a child. And millions dl ho have this hope will bow on Christmas day to worship "Christ the hew horn King." A SMILE OR TWO Two dimwits each had a horse, but had a terrible time telling them apart. They cut the mane off one horse, but it grew back. They cut the tail off the other, but it grew back. Then they measured both hors- es and found the white horse was four inches tailed than the black one. "Judge, 1 don't know what to do." "Why, what's wrong?"
