If this project works, then this should show we have the enthusiasm to make a mobile chnie work. "Our goal Is to be able to service geographically isolated, dentally indigent people. There are poverty pockets In Nebraska that wont get dental care until they are reached by a mobik clinic Curran said the mobile clinic should carry away the tradi tional image that dental care, must take place in a private office. It could be used to check for oral cancer and provide dental care for people in rest homes who have no way to get to the available free dental service. VISTA volunteers will also be in Niobrara to ease the com munication problems between the Indians and the dental students. Curran added. NOVEMBER 16. 1970
