A Dental Health Week was held in May, in which two junior schools combined to
share the exhibition. This proved very popular.
Mr J.O. Legg was seconded for one year as part-time demonstrator in the Children's
Department of the London Hospital, and has expressed his satisfaction with this
appointment.
At High Cross, Tottenham, the foundations of the new dental clinic were laid in
December, and its completion is eagerly awaited. Further projects related to comprehensive
clinics, for a single surgery clinic at Burgoyne Road and a two-surgery clinic at
Fortis Green, are included in the 1963-64 programme
