Original Toronto Star caption: Barbershop' dentistry: There are always six chairs going in this Oakville dental office; and Dr. Mac Balfour; at far right; finds it makes patients less fearful; especially children. Maybe misery loves company. Studies have shown that fear is the third largest reason behind people avoiding check-ups with the dentist.

      Thousands came in wheel chairs to be relieved of suffering. The fame of Dr. Locke's work spread all over the world, and patients came from everywhere. Here is a typical scene of the famed barnyard clinic at Williamburg at the height of its popularity. He charged $1 a day for treatment and was to have given as many as 800 treatments in a single day.

      Robert Stephens cosults with a patient in his office. During one weekend, Dr. Stephens talked by phone with 40 patients, was six in his office, visited eight at home and three in hospital, all at about a $3 hourly rate. Not rapacious for overtime work, he says.

      I'm always meeting people,' streetcleaner Fred Bowers, 64, says as he talks with George Fallis, an attorney who lives on Strathallan Blvd. Most persons on his beat know Bowers, who finds lost children and delivers messages - and, off duty, collect cameras, processes still and movie films, fishes and ties flies.
