FDI Meeting in Toronto—65th Annual World Dental Congress
FDI Meeting in Toronto Toronto in October will be "the place" for American dentists and their col leagues from round-the-world who are supporting members of the Federation Dentaire Internationale. Toronto is a Huron Indian name meaning “ place of meeting.” The city’s selection as the site for the 65th Annual World Dental Con gress of the FDI during nature’s most colorful season in the province of On tario will provide an exceptional setting for this major scientific event Oct 22-28. The Congress will take place in con junction with the Canadian Dental As sociation's national convention. Ap proximately 15,000 persons are ex pected to attend.
Scientific program From the opening ceremony Sunday evening, Oct 23, through Thursday, Oct 27, lectures, table clinics, scientific and technical exhibits, motion pictures, symposia, limited attendance clinics, and panel discussions will be given. In addition, there will be half-day visits to the faculty of dentistry, University of Toronto, and to affiliated teaching hos pitals. The latter include the Cleft Palate Clinic at the Hospital for Sick Children and the general dentistry programs at Sunnybrook, Toronto General, and Mt. Sinai Hospitals. There also will be access to the Burlington Orthodontic Research Study.
Toronto's ever-changing skyline is dominated by four towering officecommercial complexes bearing the names of the nation’s leading banks. All have indoor or underground shopping malls, observation galleries, and other attractions. The CN Tower in the background is the world’s tallest free-standing structure. 850 ■ JADA, V ol. 94, M ay 1977

Statement from L. M. Kennedy Most members of the American Dental Association are familiar with the struc ture of organized dentistry in this coun try—our component (local) societies, our constituent (state) societies, and the national association. On an interna tional level, the recognized organiza tion is the Federation Dentaire Interna tionale, which is composed of member national associations around the world. As an FDI member association, the ADA has a long and proud record of world leadership. Currently, Dr. Maynard K. Hine, former ADA president, is the presi dent of the FDI. You, the members of the American Dental Association, qualify for individ ual membership in the FDI. In addition to a feeling of participation in the world wide affairs of dentistry, members are entitled to attend the annual sessions of the FDI, known as the world dental congresses. (The world congresses dif fer somewhat from ADA annual ses sions in that there is an enrollment fee.) Many US members combine the pro fessionally enriching experiences of at tending the congresses with vacation and travel. This year, the location of the Congress is Toronto, and next year, Madrid. While dues for individual member-
