WANT HELP FOR
DENTAL CLINIC
DIR. Zwick, Chairman of Health Board
Plans Meeting Of Welfare Agencies
Interested i'm Move

DR.. Frank Zwick. chairman of the
board of health commissioners, will
shortly notify the Child Welfare conf
mittee, tuberculosis Relief Commits
sion. City Mission, New Britain Dental
association and possibly the Parents
& Teachers association of n me- in <
in the interests of n dental clinic for
the city's school.
There is no appropriation at present
with which to establish or maintain n
clinic. therefore IL will be necessary
for the welfare orEanizat tons to raise
funds sufficient to carry on the work
for the remainder of the year, if such
a clinic is to be instituted. Little
difficulty is anticipated in securing the
desired appropriation next year.
1t is probable that committees re-
presenting the several organizations
mentioned and such other welfare
agencies as may be interested. will be
called in joint session within a few
weeks.

Should it be decided that such a
venture was n promising one, the Am
erican Wooden Products Co. would,
so far as operations in the United
States are concerned. change from an
exporting to an importing organiZa-
ton. 1t would also market the out
put of European mills in South Am
erica or anywhere else in the world
that it might find buyers. MIR. Wood
said.
Later Mr.. Dane said there was no
proposal to bring into this country any
goods that might compete with the
products of the companys mills
There are certain products of foreign
countries made at low price that are
goods only that interest for American
importation lies, he explained
He had talked with mill interests
in Germany, Hungary and Czecho-
Slovakia he said, about disposing of
their products but had not carried
the matter to the point of obtaining
options. Under the plan now being
considered, goods would be bought
in Czecho- Slova kia for instance and
sold in South America or the Far
East to meet the competition in those
countries from the low cost goods of
other European centers.
