THE EUGENE (tTTABP
272 NEEDY LIHLE
FOLK OF LANE GET
FREE DENTAL CARE
"The dentist's office on wheels
men might be termed the pioneer
venture in Lane county of taking the
; dentist to the rural community.
When Re. Bdwin V. O'Hara, pas
tor of St Mary's Oatholla church,
was a chaplain with the United States
8 ray oversees during the World war,
e observed how mobile units cared
' for the men's teeth. Now, as head of
the Catholic rural life movement In
the United States, and director of the
American Country Life association,
lie is using the same plan in reaching
needy children. ,
872 Children Treated
With JOugene as a base this spring
nine Lane county communities, sev
eral of them oft the Pacific highway,
were included In the scope of 'the
wonk, 272 needy children receiving
free dental care in 28 full days of
service ending May 25. Eugene, Junc
tion City, Alurcolu, Bpringiield, Ores
well, VVendlinat, hlorenee, Deadwood
and Cottage Urove were visited, and
in the coming year it is planned to
proceed into the smaller, mora re
mote communities. '
To see what could ibe done to take
health to the country community, a
branch of the St. Vincent de IPnul so
ciety, Cathollo charitable organisa
tion, was organised in Eugene, thJs
laymen's group having for its in
corporators Joseph H. Koks, tieorge
J. YVilhelm, J. J. Kirchoff and Clar
ence lddings.
Overlapping AvoMsd
The St. Vincent de Paul society,
founded three-quarters of a centur;
ago in France, and international in
scope, does work among the poor in
Jails, hospitals, and private families.
Including some hospitalization work.
To avoid overlapping with other
charitable institutions the society
members in Eugene took as special
project the dental work among poor
children. ,
.Believing that a large percentage
of the ills of humanity originate in
the oral cavity, especially resulting
- from lack of care among children,
with consequent backwardness in
school, incapacities and incompetences
: reducing earning power, ana infec
tions which result in serious rheuma
tic and heart troubles, the society
adopted the charity as practical
piece of philanthropy.
Cooperation was received from the
Willamette Valley Dental society
which furnished professional advice.
Dr. W B. Lee acting as adviser, and
from the Lane County Health- asso
dstion which arranged clinics, and
otherwise assisted the work. Only
. those children recommended by the
county nurse or the Bed Cross as
: being needy were given treatment
Portland Men Bonefaotors
- Frederick Utrong and Paul Murphy
of Portland were benefactors of the
, work, increasing the resources at the
disposal of the society. ,
Two Corpus Christ! sisters, Sister
Frances Paul and Sister Kegina were
field workers, acting as dentists' as
sistants and keeping the records. Per
s manent headquarters were estab
lished at 1020 Gharnelton street, Eu-
Sene, where a room was fitted with a
entists' chair and cabinet of instru
ments. . '
In the 28 days the 272 children
' examined received care the cash value
of which would reach upwards of a
thousand dollars. Total of 800 fill
ings, 206 extractions, and S3 clean
ings were performed. The Creewell
unit of the Lane County Health as
sociation voted the work the -most
. constructive for health ever don in
that community. .
DsnMsta AM Work
At the beginning of the work, s
f number of - members of the Willamette
Valley Dental society offered their
individual assistance) to the work,
voluntarily giving . of their time and
: professional skill. Later, as the re
sources of the society permitted, Dr.
F. Cordon Milne bf Monroe was en
gaged for one month, and Dr. William
N. Dow of Springfield and Mr. Mo
Oornack of Florence took part in tbe
work. . "i .. J

An educational program was also
Inaugurated, with posters and arti
cles urfeing the care of the teeth.
Tbe 75 miles to either side of the
Pacific highway is practically virgin
territory, so far as dentists are 'con
cerned, the society discovered. Many
unusual cases were found, including
one hoy st Deadwood who declared
he had two sets of teeth. His diffi
culty, which bad begun to obstruct bis
speech, was discovered to be three
misplaced teeth which bad com
through half an inch inside his reg
ular row of teeth, indeed, back In the
palate. He swas persuaded to have
these three removed.
Outlook Promlslnt "
Outlook of the work for the com
ing year is promising, with many
itv health centers sending
written commendation of tbe work.
Mrs. Minnls Anderson, cnairnun oi
the health group at OreswelL waa es
pecially warm in her praise in ex
pressing "appreciation to the St. Vin
cent de Paul society for making it
possible for our poor children to have
their teeth cared for In this kind au
efficient way."
From Anne O. Dudley, secretary of
the Florence branch of the . Lane
County Health association comes a
note to the St Vincent de Paul soc
iety! "This is to extend to you the
thanks and appreciation of the peo
ple of Florence for your kindness
and generosity to them In making pos
sible the free dental clinic There Is
great need for that work here and
the health association feels it was
well patronised."

'v Country La oka Dentists
It was discovered that only the cit
ies on the 1'Hcifio highway in Lane
county, Bugene, Springfield, Cottage
Grove and Junction City, with the
exception of Florence, had .resident
dentists.
The society also believes that the
nope that those needing dental atten
tion will travel to centers where this
can ' be done is a vain one. A trip
made bv Father O'Hara and Wllkie
Nelson Collins into the Sluslaw not
so long ago revealed a 12 year old
boy who naa never seen a moving pic
ture nor a moving train. And he lived
on a highway on which a bus passed
daily to Eugene. Dental care must
thus be taken to the rural community,
