strated the possibilities of and thereby created a need for specialized training in connection with the lesions which affect the dental and oral tissues, and paved the w ay for world-wide recognition of the importance of dental health service in the military arm of the Government. The record here sketchily recorded seems to us to fully justify not only the request from the profession for the increase in the number of dental surgeons in the Corps, but also the higher social and official status that would be accorded to the Dental Corps through conferring upon its head the title of Brigadier General. It is anticipated that Senate Bill 2463 will come before the special ses sion for action, and with that thought in mind the Chairman and Legis lative Committee of the American Dental Association urgently request that each member in his own w ay use his most effective influence directly or indirectly upon the senatorial representative from his particular dis trict, to the end that the Arm y Dental Corps m ay be placed upon a basis of efficiency worthy of the military branch of probably the strongest ex ponent of peace in all the nations of the world. It has become axiomatic that the greater the preparedness for war, the greater is the probability of peace. And while we disclaim any desire for belligerency now or in the future, we do believe that preparedness in the form of health service for the Arm y is a worthwhile and distinct peace asset. L . P. A.
D E N T A L R E L IE F F U N D C O M M I T T E E T h e R elief Fund Committee for the State of North Carolina reports, under date of November 11, that the Raleigh D ental Society o f the North Carolina Dental Society has already contributed 100 per cent to the R elief Fund. This is an example of promptitude and generosity well worthy of emulation by every District and State Society in the American Dental Association.
