STAINTON HARDWARE (Wingham) LIMITED Phone 357-2910 Dr. Stewart. A. MacGregor, head of Paedodenties at the Faculty of Dentistry, Toronto, told a full, house at the Legion ball in Brussels on Friday night that the community will get a dentist if it can provide the proper environment. He came to the village to aid in that community's centen- nial project, a clinic that will attract both a doctor and a den- tist to the area. Pr. MacGreg- or pointed out that while the new facility was wonderful, it will not be the only contribut- ing factor in holding profession- al people. The attitude of the community as a whole is im- portant, he said. He pointed especially to the fact the chang- ing times and that the modern dentist is trained in preventa- tive dentistry in an effort to save teeth, and thus save health and good facial formation. Dr. MacGregor, who also established a department of dentistry at the Hospital for Sick Children, stressed the need for early dental care, and showed slides of the work being done at the hospital under the auspices of the Red Cross. The speaker actually ranged over a wide subject area choos- ing as his title, "Must the 20th Century Belong to the Cities?". He said he was gladhe was rear- ed in the country and as a re- sult had a great deal of sympa- thy for rural problems. He was of the opinion that if the short- age of doctors and dentists in the rural areas is going to be overcome it will be necessary 10 persuade young people in these areas to go into the pro- fessions and then come back to serve the rural sections of the country when they graduate. He claimed this has already prov- ed successful because efforts in this direction have been fruit- ful. Men raised in the city will be rather more inclined to set up in the city than those whose Origins are rural. Dr. MacGregor told his au- dience that housing in, the small community was one of the ma.- jor draw backs in acquiring the services of professional people be they dentists, doctors or teachers, He was of the opin- ion that small eommunities will have to do something about adequate housing in order to keep professional people. In order to encourage young men to practise in rural areas Dr. Macgregor said a plan of student bursaries has been es- tablished that will provide $1." 000 for every year the student will practise in a rural centre. He was certain Brussels will be able to obtain one of these men when the clinic is completed, but he warned the audience that the attitude of the people will play an important part in keeping a young man in the community. He said they must have time to live as well as work, and must feel wanted by the citizens of the village and area. In his remarks the professor compared the changing times of today with those of the past, and how this has affected the practice of dentistry, In his youth farming was a way of life and today it has become big business to the extent that freq- uently a father cannot afford to sell his farm to his own son. In 1923, 80 per cent of applicants for dental courses came from the country and 85 per cent of the graduates went back to the country. Today the percentage of men in these courses who were raised in the country has shrunk to a minimum. Dr. MacGregor said he de- plored the way standards for uni- versity training have been in- creased. He pointed to many Coming Events WILLIAM CURLE March meeting of CRCSS board The Combined Roman Cath- olic Separate School Board met Wednesday evening of last week in Sacred Heart School with six members in attendance. One of the supply companies had a display of books at the school and Mrs. O'Malley was given the board's permission to purchase books for the library. There was a discussion on teachers and classrooms and a motion was passed to set up a salary schedule for the coming year. prominent men in the past who have given society a trernendous service, who under today's con- ditions would not be granted university admittance because of high school marks that were not high enough. lie pointed, to Dr, Fredrick Ranting as an ex- ample. He posed the question, "How many Bantings are we keeping from higher education today?". Speaking of the changes in dentistry Dr. MacGregor said the student dentist is taught to save teeth, not pull them. The public must be aware the mod- ern dentist is trying to do this for them, and if he is called a robber for providing this health service he will not be apt to stay in a community. The pres- sure on the dentist today de- mands that he work by appoint- ment, and the rural man can- not expect to drop off six child- ren on a rainy day, without an appointment, and expect to have them looked after. The doctor mentioned fluor- ide in caring for teeth and said that any health scheme would go broke because of the recur- rence of dental disease under or- dinary conditions. However, the use of fluoride on teeth and in water can make a health scheme possible, by reducing dental decay. He concluded by telling his audience that "The greatest philanthropy the community can do is to continue on with the service you are establishing". The speaker was introduced by Rev. F. G. Braby and thank- ed by Reeve Calvin Krauter. Herb Stretton presented the speaker with a small gift and Mrs. MacGregor with a corsage. Miss Anderson dies in Weston Funeral service was held at the R.

The amount covers expenditure for classroom supply and capital equipment needs for the two schools. Principal F. E. Madill of Wingham reported average dai- ly attendance for February as 901 students.
