of each year away from his lucrative
Rochester practice to make life livable
again for tooth-tortured natives of- Tan
ganyika, Uganda, Nigeria, and Angola. In
the process, this one-man Peace Corps has
given the name "American" a new lasting
glory in a part of the world where Com
munists work especially hard to vilify it
To supplement what he can do on his
own, Dr. Lalonde has set up a chain of
outlying dental clinics which serve some
30,000,000 people in a region where, un
til he came, there were only a half-dozen
or so dentists. He also has equipped 24
bush hospitals with complete dental facili
ties and has modernized their diagnostic
and treatment facilities.
Out of his own funds and those of his
bedazzled supporters back home, he
has done all this and more for something
less than $500,000. His brother Leo ac
counts for part of this miracle of logis
tics. A professional shipper, Leo crates in
his Rochester garage the tons of equip
ment and medications which make pos
sible his brother's annual six-month Afri
can dental practice. Both Leo and their
spry 88-year-old mother help "scrounge"
this material from donors everywhere.
Hr. Paul pays the freight charges on
everything running into thousands of
dollars annually as well as his own
expenses in the bush. When he gets to
Africa, he economizes further by making
every scrap do double duty. He turns
packing-case panels from his X-ray ma
chines into storeroom doors, and even the
shredded material that cushions X-ray
tubes in transit is used as stuffing for pil
lows and operating-table headrests.
To make sure his work continues be
yond his own lifetime. Dr. Lalonde has
stitched his program into the durable fab
ric of a young, energetic group, the Medi
cal Missionaries of Mary. He himself has
trained its members and their native help
ers so that they can train others as den
tal technicians and nurses.
Where does a man like Dr. Lalonde get
off tackling such a State-Department-sized
job and then making a phenomenal
success of it?
"You have to be a little crazy," he says
with a grin. Boyhood excitement about
Africa, sparked by the adventures of Stan
ley and Livingstone, helped, too. Then, as
a man, he translated this excitement into
big-game hunting trips there and in other
parts of the world. With his wife, who
died in 1054, Dr. Lalonde also has shared
lifelong interest in medical missions,
many of which they visited during 25
years of world travel.
Last year. Dr. Lalonde cut through red
tape and succeeded in placing a young
dentist from New York in Africa to
carry on for him when he is back in
Rochester. And recently he learned that
the elaborate dental-training facilities
which he has provided at the Medical
Missionaries of Mary headquarters in Ire
land have begun sending the first Lalonde
sponsored graduate dentists to Africa.
It is a mighty big project for one small
man to have launched, but it is now defi
nitely a going concern a durable example
of American humaneness in Africa.
