Undescrib-able hardships were the lot of the.Ukrainian woman, and her love for herfatherland very often compelled her toexhibit various heroic deeds ih its defenc e. During the princedom periodof our statehood, women frequentlybeaded the state as independentrulers, as counsellors to their husband-princes, or as commanders ofmilitary forces.In the history of the Ukrainian nat ion, there are engraved in gold letters names of women who deservegreat praise. Their deeds should encourage us in our struggle for aworthy future as citizens of thiscountry. Recall the famous Ukrainian Princess Olga, who, after thedeath of Prince Igor, expertly governed the Kiev state and was simul

    taneously an excellent military comman der, and a keen diplomat in heidealings with the Greeks. Anne, thedaughter of Prince Yaroslav the Wis*as the wife of the French King Hen I and the mother of King Philipwas an exponent of Ukrainian culture in French court circles.

    The Army Dentist Goes Afield, To TreatSoldier Patients in the Field at PanamaPutting off a visit t A the dentist isa human characteristic, a frailty ofmost of us; but it is not given en-;couragement among military person-!nei of the Panama Canal Department.There, not only does the dentistcome to the soldier at many a lonely nmele nost but the dentist bringswith him his office and "tools of the!

    trade"chair, instruments, drills, and,everything else with which the modern;dentist is equipped.Dentist Find* Patient

    In carrying out the Army programof keeping the United States soldier!the healthiest in the world, ColonelWesley C. Cox, Department Surgeon,and Lieutenant Colonel William T.Williams, Depar tmen t Dental Surgeon have placed in operation amobile dental unit which traversesmiles of jungle trails to attend to the!dental needs of military personnel. 'It brings dental surgery to men stationed at isolated positions in jungleareas where only emergency dentalstations are established and 'wheremen cannot be spared from military,duty to make frequent trips to thedental clinics established on all themajor posts."With this mobile unit we are able;to keep the dental health of the men at the optimum level where not more jthan twenty-five percent are in needjof dental attention at any one time.Lt. Col. Williams, a veteran of fifteenjyears in the Army Dental Corps,!pointed ou t. "In time, wehope to bring the average down to fifteen percent insofar as the turnover of personnel permits."Staffed by a dental officer and anenlisted man, w ho doubles- as driverand operative assistant, the mobileunit makes scheduled rounds of theisolated positions which can be reachedby passable roads, and stays longenough to take care of all the dentalwork indicated by the regular inspections and by personal request of themen. The unit is equipped to handle operative dentistry as well as preliminary prosthetic procedures . except the actual fabrication and insertion of the necessary dentures.

    Complete modern equipmentThe special U. S. Army Medical De-partment (dental) body is mounted!on a two-and-a-half-ton chassis. Itis equipped with the most modern jdental operative equipment and fix

    tures, all of which are arranged formaximum efficiency. The lates t-sty lechair is fitted with every facility

    found in the modern dentist's officeincluding power drill, running water,compressed air syringes, and an operating light, scaled down from an improved standard model. Within arm'sreach of the dentist are drawer cabinets containing complete and systematically arranged assortments ofinstrumen ts. Also within arm's reachare the electric sterilizer, wash basin!with hot and cold water, and cup-jboards for materials and supplies.A work bench where preprostheticimpressions are molded is installedopposite the chair so that the assistant can work without interfering withany dental operation in progress.

    Carries Own Power~PlantPower for the equipment is supplied by a moftf operating on 60-cyclecurrent through an attachment whichcan be connected to any available installation. In places where the 60-cyclecurrent is not available, the power issupplied by a generating unit car--ried on a trailer. The compressor forsyringes is operated by the truckmotor while heat for water from the50-gallon tank is derived from agasoline stove.Hea t for the operating room (something unnecessary in the sudorificclimate of Panama) can be providedwhen necessary while air-conditioning is supplied through ceiling insulation and suction fans. Four modernistic light fixtures of special designfurnish adequate light throughoutrthe interior.

    Field K!t 60 for minor needsOperation of the unit rounds outthe thorough program of dental caresupervised by L t Col. Williams, who was a practising dentist in Herrin,

    ;Dlinois, and San Francisco, Califor-i nia,- before he entered the Army. It> completes the cycle between the established dental clinics and the field work done by dental officers withj Field Kit 60 at outlying bases and re-jmote guard stations.Dental officers equipped with FieldI Kit 60 travel by plane, boat, and jeepI to otherwise inaccessible positionsand to stations where the relativelysmall number of men to be givenI dental attention does not warrant use"of the mobile unit.On duty with the mobile unit atpresent is Captain Robert De Lange(40 Grasemere Rd, Lockport, NewYork), a. graduate of the U niversityof Buffalo Dental School who hasjust completed his first year ofservice in Panama.
