Dental Salvage Program
The following announcement has been received from the National Dental Salvage Committee of the American Dental Association. Members of this committee are Dr. Henry A. Swanson, chairman, Dr. Harold J. Cronin, Dr. J. V. Gentilly, Dr. H. E. King, and Dr. H. B. Higgins. Organization.-The Dental Salvage Program is headed by the American Dental Association Salvage Committee, consisting of a Chairman and four members. Dental Salvage Committees will be appointed within each state, consisting of a chairman and several members. The chairmen of the state committees should select representatives from the dental dealers and dental laboratories within their respective areas, to cooperate with the committees. In states where the National Dental Association (Negro) has members, the committee should request their cooperation. All dental offices should be included in the program whether or not the dentist is a member of the American Dental Association. Members of state committees should contact the General Salvage Committees in their communities and advise them of this program and request their support. Pzlrpose.-The war effort needs all scrapped and obsolete rubber and metal products to compensate for a shortage of new material in the production of the many items necessary for the “drive against the Axis.” No materials should be considered if they can possibly be used, can be made serviceable or will have to be replaced by new materials or equipment. Conservation of present material or equipment should be a prime objective of every dentist. 57
