The Ship’s Doctor Dr. Sober At Work On Jimmie Parker On every fully manned ship there should be a Doctor. Our good ship the S. S. STURGENSIAN has on board Dr. E. B. Sober who has served admirably as the ship’s dentist. The Bureau of Public Health Dentistry of Mich¬ igan’s Department of health is undertaking the task of gathering adequate information on the den¬ tal needs of Michigan children. Sturgis was one of the five communities chosen in Michigan from which to gather this data. In the spring of 1945 a well-equipped clinic was established in the public schools of Sturgis. Dr. E. B. Sober is the dentist in charge of this clinic. He has one dental assistant who keeps the records. A complete and modern dental office was set up in the school building with everything arranged especially for children from the pictures on the walls to the seven dwarfs on the screen which separates the laboratory from the office. Initial care is limited to pre-school, kindergarten, first and second grade children. Once a child has had all his accumulated needs cared for- com¬ plete maintenance is provided thrfough the ele¬ mentary grades. To date approximately 400 chil¬ dren have been completely cared for and are now coming back for periodic examination and main¬ tenance which includes straightening teeth as well as filling them. Sturgis is proud to have been chosen as one of the centers in which to carry on this very worth¬ while project. 19
