LER DIES an was killed New Legis lation Affects Durham Dental Students Twenty Preventive Dental Assistant graduates, who wished to update their skills to include scaling, have com- pleted a four-month program at Durham College to give them accreditationa However, the Royal College of Dental Surgeons has been influential in having legisla- tion introduced which will be passed early in February, to the effect that Preventive Dental Assistants with scaling will be replaced with Dental Hygienists. To qualify for the new category, the Durham students affected will have to take additional clinical train- ing of two to four months duration, after which they will have to undergo examination by the Royal College of Dental Surgeons in order to be licensed as Hygienists. Durham College is trying to accommodate the students to accomplish this end, but not only does it add to the learning programme of the students affected, it will also delay the start of a second class which had been scheduled to start .Jaauary 3lst. Durham College in Oshawa and George BrowCaCoClege la Toroato were the initiai Col- leges to conduet the experi- mental four-month scaliag module, and both Colleges are affected by this situation. Dr. Willey, Durham College. President, regrets the circum- stances. He emphasizes that the Dental programs involved had been approved by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. The content and objectives had been the sub- ject of advice from an Advisory Committee com- posed of Dentists in this region and representatives from the Royal College of Dental Sur- geons. The Dentists are em- ployers of Durham College graduates and R.C.D.S. has licensing powers. The College, therefore, offered the additional training to Preventive Dental Assist- ants with the blessing of the Ministry and the Royal Col- lege of Dental Surgeons. It is aow unable to graduate P.D.A.'s with scaling certifi- cation because recognition for this, level of training wiIl disappear with the intro- duction of new legisiation. 1To achieve the new level of hygienist, additional training time is, required.1 Dr. Wiley emphasizes that every effort wil be made by the Corlege to alleviate prob- lems affecting the students concerned. All of the students involved have been notified and arrangements for the additional training are being made. The College Dental Assistant program will now consist of a one-year Certified Dental Assistant programme and a two-year Dental Hy- giene programme.

WE INSTALL f4 Oshawa MI b Warren Lowes There was a time when the word "expedition" conjured up thoughts of military adventure or an explora- tion to the Arctic. In this past decade, however, a new concept has been born. On February 12, Comex-8 will depart from the Royal Marine staging base near Dover, England, - ten jumbo buses carrying a wide assortment of racial types, a full complement of survival gear and a high level of goodwill. The Canadian component will be 150 strong, made up of representatives from all rovinces from B.C. to Newfound- and - and including this scribe from Orono. You ask me, what's this all about? Well, it seems that although the days of empire may be drawing to a close, there are influential people among us who believe that great social benefits are to be gained by fostering and maintaining friendly relations amon people of diverse social and cultural backgrounds throughout the world. And, as Colonel Lionel Gregory, the leader of this expedition, reasoned when he first conceived the Comex idea, "Why not go abroad with a song instead of a sword?" On February 1, after a send-off reception with Lieutenant Governor Pauline McGibbon at Queen's Park, the Canadians will fly to Dover to be met by contingents from such faraway places as Singapore and India. After an intensive two-week training session, the convoy of SUF the FOP THE 153 K Carpet Warehouse ,At busses(known as the Silver Train) will cross the English channel into Belgium on the first leg of a 24,000 mile journey which will last four months and follow an itinerary which includes stops at such storied places Istanbul, Zagreb, Ankara, Damascus, Bagdad, Kermanshah, Tehran, Lahore, Delhi, Bengalore, Mysore, Poona, Simla, Budapest and Vienna. The buses can accommodate up to 54 passengers, and each carries a water tank and six tables. The crew consists of 4 drivers, 4 navigators, a mechanic, radio operator, 2 loading details, 2 cooking teams and one pursuer for each bus, working or- shif ts. The convoy is kept intact by a Marconi radio-telephone system and utility equipment includes tents, sleeping bags, Coleman stoves and the water supply. Personal effects are limited to 35 pounds per passenger. 0f the total complement, 10 per cent are over 40 years of age, 10 per cent under 20, and the remainder in between - both sexes. The film crew of Michael Jocot Productions will accompany the expedition and will record the highlights in a film documentary for later release. During the training perod and enroute, the formation oi a first rate entertainment company is envision- ed. Appropriate music and lyrics have been written. Rehearsals have already started in Toronto and eleswhere. Additional numbers will be added to the program, of course, as the talent emerges. A number of concerts have been scheduled - and that takes nerve. Of particular interest to Cana- dians is the fact that the return leg of the journey-from the continent will conclude on May 29 at the Cànadian Armed Forces base at Lahr, Germany. Here we will be guests "for rations, quarters and Canadian hospitality." It is hoped that in the three previous months of together- ness we will have put together a program of sufficient merit to elicit applause rather than catcalls. The return of the Silver Train to Britain is scheduled to coincide with celebrations connected with the Queen's Silver Jubilee in June. We hope to participate. With the kind co-operation of the Canadian States- man, it will be my pleasure to report intermittently as the journey pro ceeds.
