fan and sterilizer are operated by cleo
tricity, the juice being supplied through
the long cord and plug-in to the school
electric plant.
The drivers seat folds out of the way
and out of sight while the clinic is in
progress. A trap door in the floor covers
a trash can provided for the sanitary
disposal of waste.
When a school has signed up for IS
operations-fillings, extractions or clean
ings-the clinic is scheduled for one day
at that school; 80 signatures mean two
days, etc, at so cents per operation.
Children in need of dental care whose
parents cannot afford the customary fee
are given attention free of charge. Chill
dren desiring to have work done, and
attending school where sufficient
number of assignments have not beep<
obtained, are transported by school BY

being held.
Nurse Assists
A qualified clinician approved by the
State Board of Health works under the
direction of Mrs. Harris, and the SUI
pervision of the Red Cross Dental Ad-
visory Board. A nurse in attendance as
sists and consoles any timid youngsters.
The operation of the Dental Clinic
is financed comparatively by the State
Board of Health, the county, and the
local organization of more than GOO
organized in small neighborhood Red
Gross groups.
After three years of strenuous effort,
the first county dental clinic was held
in Roanoke County in 1923. That year
1000 children were brought into head
quarters in the city of Roanoke from
rural sections for dental corrections,
with 1000 more found to be in need
of attention.
Now, virtually every one of the 10000
children of Roanoke County attending
county schools has the tooth doctor"
near at hand, and that at a nominal
cost.
Thousands of folks from both town
and country have visited the down town
garage where the truck was parked, to
view this novel idea-a rolling dental Of
flee constructed for over-county service,
and at the small total cost of $I32.34.
The appearance of the white-painted
truck motoring over Roanoke County's
mountain roadside they hard surfaced
highways or mud feeder roads, adver-
tises to the people the gospel of good
teeth as the road u good health.

Rolling Dental Office Provided
Roanoke County, Virginia Furnishes Care for
Rural Children's and Adults Teeth
Through Clinic on Wheels
By a Staff Writer

G NAGGLE-TOOTHED and rheu-
- matte at 40 need no longer be the
fate of people living in rural Virginia,
especially down in Roanoke County
where the dental office motors to those
school children who for any reason are
unable to 90 to the town dentist.
A fully equipped and up-to-the-min-
ute dental office on wheels visits by APP
pointment, the country schools no mat
ter how remote, where, with the cooper
alton of the teachers, a sufficient num-
Der of children who have been suffering
with tooth-ache, gumboils and the like
have signed up for dental attention.
Beats Another Problem
This unique dental truck is the only
one in Virginia, according to the local
health unit, and one of about six in the
United States. The County Red Cross
nurse, Mrs. Jane Morgan Harris, real
izing that occasional clinics held at the
schools was not succeeding in meeting
the county children's needs, and who was
much in need of new car for her daily
round of health work conceived the idea
of having truck built on the chassis
of her discarded car.
She had often been up against the
proposition of big need with little or
no money to meet it. 1t was just one
more of those problems she has to meet
almost daily, so she set to work to make
another dream come true.
Lumber costing $50, was used TO con-
struct small room. Three screened win
dows on each side, one at the rear and
one at the left side front, afford ample
light. Entrance is made through door
at the left front and exit by rear door.
A dental chair (already the property
of the Roanoke County Chapter of the
American Red Cross) was placed in the
center of the room. This is removable,
allowing the truck to be turned into an
ambulance.
Ample Storage Space
Two gasoline tanks, purchased for 40
cents, cut and welded into an Il" and
fitted against the ceiling of the truck at
an upper rear corner, provide the very
necessary supply of running water for
a days work. In case more water is
needed, hole in the roof admits hose
for rcfilIing the tanks. The entire weld
ing bill for the whole job of putting this
and that together and in proper place
was $40.
Shelves about the walls and cabinet
placed against the rear wall afford am
pie storage space for instruments. sup
plies, etc. A modern type drill, lights,
