Flaoridation Not Medication

fends those who do not approve of use of
drugs i leafing nai others who do not like
addLag anything te the water supply, rely
ing as they y en the "pure water" which
nature supplies.
Ia the first place, the fluoride additive is
not a drug but a food for the teeth of grow
ing children. It is not administered as a cure
for dental caries, but as a tooth-building ele
ment which helps the teeth resist decay. For
proof we may draw on the definition of food
given by the State Board of Chiropractic Ex
aminers for Oregon:
"Nutritive material laWnbto an rganiam
. for growth, work, m rtteir and far Maintain
ing the vital processes; anything that nourishes
r suiUini."
Ar far-at water-in-nature being pure, just
a combination of two parts hydrogen and
one part oxygen, that ia a myth. Only care
fully distilled water hi pore. Water from the
ground contains chemical elements In vary
ing degrees. Calcium deposits in tea kettles,
in regions wnere tne water is -nam proves
that water may also contain such elements
as Iodine, various salts, sulphur, iron, etc. It
was the lnfrequency of dental caries in cer
tain communities that led to the discovery
that the local naturally-fluoridated water
caused this benefit
Vlryiiallv all nnhlie water ivstem add
chlorine to kill any disease-bearing organ
isms, yet chlorine is a poison the same as
fluorine and iodine. Used, though, under
Strict controls it protects the health of the
public, as would fluoridation.
" Progress In public health does come slow.
We recall In our boyhood there still was lin
gering opposition to vaccination for small
pox, though its worth as preventative had
Seen proven century before. Probably
many parents are still afraid to administer
fjalk vaccine to their children, though its val
lue Is now regarded as well established.
Fluoridation l strictly a public health meas
urfc. The alternatives proposed are not as
practical or as universal In application or as
Inexpensive. t)ne who strongly opposes fluor
jdatlon brought in a circular with the usual
warning against dumping "poison" Into the
city water supply. One of the alternatives of
fered, however, was this:
:"Each school could have a small injection
. system so ALL school children would have
their fiourides la their drinking water."
" This really gives away the case of the "an
tit," for if fluorides in proportions recom
mended are cumulative.poisons, they certain
ly ought not to be given to children.
On the basis of the best scientific author-
If wa anna nt Tha Statesman recommends
approval of fluoridation for the permanent
benefit of the dental health of succeeding
fenerations of children.
Let the Probe Proceed
It is not our purpose to pick up the cudgels
of either party in the current investigation
of rice conditions in Portland. Let the chips
faltr
But in fairness to the Republican Party,
which is charged in some quarters with hav
ing instigated the probe for partisan purpos
es, and to Democratic Chairman Howard Mor
gan, whose warning is now revealed to have
played a major share in getting it started, we
should say forthwith that there were no par
tisan politics as such involved.
Morgan over the week-end issued a detailed
statement saying that District Attornev Lang
ley of Portland, a Democrat now under fire,
was nominated and elected without official
party backing: that he (Morgan) was "or
dered" by Tom Mahoney of Seattle. Lang
ley's campaign chief, to have Democrat Attor
ney General Robert Y. Thornton cease his in
vestigation ok the liquor commission two
years ago, and that he (Morgan) told three
newspapermen of the instance, including the
managing editor of The Statesman.
The statement jibes in all particulars with
that given by Morgan some months ago to
the newsmen he listed. It had not been the
plan of The Statesman then to disclose the
name of the man who helped spark the
probe. It had advised Morgan, instead, to
seek the aid of the Portland press which
could unearth more information from its own
metropolitan contacts than could The States
man in comparable time, so that the full
story could be available before time and
principals ran out. "
This Morgan did. At no time did he at
tempt to make it a partisan issue or suggest
that the probe stop at a party line. Nor was
there any known party or press attempt at a
cover-up. An eminent newspaper, in the field
directly concerned, took up the job of fer
retting out the details and documenting them
into publishable form. And that's the story.

An active Chamber of Commerce not only
Is reflective of a community's interest in en
terprise and progress it is also the show
window through which outsiders view the
reception which an investment here might
expect. Today's one-day drive for wider
membership is in sinfere.effort toward wider
and more effective participation in making
the view attractive. It merits full support.
Contrary to Initial information, Billy Jun
ior Nunn who confessed killing a 14-year-old
in Southern Oregon, had not just recently
been released on parole. He was paroled
more than three years ago. And if he had
not been paroled at all, he would have been
out of prison unrestricted last year by vir
tue of having served his time. So there's no
onus on parole officers. But it does show the
never-ending problem with sex deviates.
If Yugoslav's Tito doesn't have any better
luck in France than Russia's B and K did in
England, the Communists can mark off 1954
as a lost year insofar as allaying Western
fear and hostility is concerned.
Editorial Comment
CIVILIZATION
Civilizing the West, a project of dubious value
anyhow, is ho easy job. It gets harder, some
times, and more complicated as the frontier and
the city grow more indistinguishable. Here in
Lane County, 100 year tree of the grip of the red
man, we are talking about a third professional
hunter to keep down the coyotes. It used to be,
a year and more ago when the country was less
civilized, that two full-time men and one part
timer were sufficient.
Dave thaw, up from Gold Beach, which li more
"remote" from the centers of civilization, reports
the same sort of thing down there. The big battle
In Curry County, he says, revolves around this
question:
"Should we raise the bounty on coyotes or should
we hire a hunter?" The natives, rugged individuals
who solve their own problems, seem to favor the
increased bounty.
But another problem Is bothering the burghers
of Gold Beach, a town which grew 146 per cent in
six years. It used to be that dogs were respected
in Gold Beach. If a dog chose to sleep in the
street, which is Highway 101, he was safe. Cars
and trucks detoured around him. Now, however,
truck drivers are honking their horns and gunning
their motors, forcing the dogs to get up and make
way for the vehicles that carry tourists and logs
through Gold Beach.
Pave admits that the tourists and the logs are
welcome in Curry County, but he says the natives
kind of miss the friendly relationship which used
to exist between dog and man. The dogs liked
It better the other way, too.

Marion County will probably lose about $25,000 a year in
taxes when that new Air Force base near Woodburn is es
tablished. When the government takes over these 5,000 acres
they go off the tax rolls. The $25,000 figure
comes from the Marion County assessor's
office and is just a rough estimate. It
could be slightly higher, or lower. It is
based on an estimated valuation of $318,
000 on farm lands and buildings involved on
the air base site. This would be higher, they
said, if they figured in personal property
School people also are worrying over
educating the youngsters of construction
workers who will build the base. Their rallying try is "Re
member Detroit Dam!" When construction workers and their
families came In to work on the dam, the little school at De
troit was swamped with three times its normal load of stu
dents almost overnight. Both the school and faculty had to
be expanded. In order to be prepared for a similar hassle
when the air base goes in, a survey of schools, classrooms and
teachers is going on now in the Woodburn-Gervais St. Paul
area . , .
v - '
Because the Air Force has been rather hush-hush about
pin-pointing the exact location of the air base, neither the
assessor's office nor the county school office know very much
whereof they speak. They think (but they're not sure) that
nearly all of the St. Louis school district lies within the pro
posed base site. Which means that as a school district St.
Louis has a limited future . . .
One of the newer subdivisions in West Salem If named
Bow Addition. So, a lady called city hall the other day U
ask if and when she plats a subdivision next door could she
call It Wow Addition . . . And speaking of spring travelers

door or a Texaco station In South Salem, which reads, "Have
You Had Your Spring Checkl'p Yet?" . . .
Gov. Elmo Smith, who claims a fetish for promptness,
really impressed the Salem Chamber of Commerce Monday
noon. He finished his talk at 13 minutes to 1 something of
a record for usually lengthy chamber speakers. The gov
ernor also noted that, in order to keep his busy schedule un
tangled, each morning his staff hands him a card with his
daily itinerary and appointments listed on it. "I call this my
bill of lading'" he said ... He also noted that since his wife
knocked his way of pronouncing the word "statistics," he now
quotes only "facts, figures and data." ...

SANTA ANA. Calif. If A young
Marine testified Monday that he
saw James Jack Walker dating
beauty queen Donna Schurr Brett
six weeks after she claims Walker
raped her for the first time.
Edward Horfer, IS, a choir sing
er with Walker at Santa Ana's
First Baptist Church, said he saw
Walker and Mrs. Brett in a snack
shop in May 1955, Walker is be
ing tried on rape and kidnaping
charges.
The Camp Pendleton Marine
said he recognized her from news
paper photographs but did not
greet Walker, whom he has known
for three years. Dep. Public De
fender Richard Sullivan asked why
and Hoefer answered:
Wasn't Wife
"I knew it wasn't Walker's wife
and I didn't want to embarrass
him."
Mrs. Brett. 19. last year's Miss
California, has testified that her
only association with Walker was
when he twice kidnaped and raped
her at knife-point. Walker, whose
wife is expecting their second
child, contends that he was carry
ing on a secret romance with the
attractive beauty winner.
Two women who work with
Walker at an upholstery shop tes
tified that they saw Mrs. Brett
talking to Walker at the shop in
April I9.V4. Mrs. Mary Neer and
Mrs. Alice Neer said Mrs. Brett
had come to the shop to pose fur
publicity pictures.
False Confession
Earlier, Walker said he falsely,
admitted raping the beauty queen
because police threatened to
"throw the book at him" if he
didn't.
He testified he also wanted to
protect Mrs. Brett's reputation
since. Walker said, police promised
that there would be no publicity
if he confessed.
Walker added that by confessing
he hoped to keep knowledge of the
affair from his wife.
"I knew if my wife found out
about my adultery I'd be finished
at home," he testified.
No objections were offered Mon
day by Marion County Court mem
bers to Oregon Electric Railroad's
request to build a 245-foot spur
track to service the American Can
Company's new Salem plant.
Word of the request was made
known ia a letter from the Public
Utilities. Commissioner who for
warded a copy of the request to
the court to determine if the mat
ter met with county approval.
The spur will extend from the
can company's Cherry Avenue
drill plant to the new project,
crossing Industrial Way, a county
road, which necessitated receiving
county approval for construction.
'During the peak season, the spur
will handle some 1,000 cars a day,
the company's application said; in

grade intersection will consist of

Back hi IKS, when (hey were

answered an advertisement in
the personal column of the
"Times" of London announcing
that there was "an opening for
young man of public school edu
cation" who was fitted to serve
as "financial adviser to an ori
ental ruler.
The oriental ruler turned out
to be the father of the present
Sheik of Bahrein. He liked shoot
ing Gazelle and taking his Per
sian falcon out after hustand
more than the weary business
of ruling. Hence most of the au
thority over Bahrein's 140.000

rather oddly call it the big, old

Bahrein was far ahead of all the
ether oil rich states on the Per
sian Gulf.
waa another, even more serious
riot that led to police shootings
and a Irnrral strike.
These grave disorders were
the outcome of the agitation of
the "Committee of National
Unity." The committee is large
ly composed of bazaar merchants
in a small way of business. It
is intimately linked with and
strongly supported by the Egyp
tian government of Gamal Abdel
Nasser. It is anti-British and de
termined to wrest power for the
people from his Highness the
Sheik and his British advisor.
The whole power of the com
mittee ii based on political con
sciousness created in Bahrein
by the school the Sheik and hit
British advisor have built. Thus,
when yon talk with these two
kindly, well-lntealioaer men, you
find yourself constantly remem
bering th line from "Lear,"
"How sharper thaa a serpent's
tooth it la to have a thankless
child."
Yet the Irony of the situation
in Bahrein goes even deeper than
this. Sir Charles Belgrave, who
is not a British government of
ficial, is only the immediate ob
ject of attack. The real, eventual
aim of the Bahrein nationalists
is to drive out Britain from the
special position It has occupied
here for more than a century.
But the British government's
representatives here are hard at
the Eisenhower administration,
and not one where it is the
strongest, namely in the field of
resource conservation. Peace,
prosperity, full employment, net
ter international relations, a bal
anced budget, a constructive
program for agriculture,
cleansed administration these
are far better battle stations.
If we grant that the charges
of giveaway are phoney and
pressed for political advantage
the fart remains that they have
proven effective. The effort
which McKay is havine to make
to obtain the nomination indi
cates that. My regret is sincere

that he got into this battle,
which he did strictly out of a
sense of duty to Eisenhower and
to his party If he wins I expect
to support him against Morse
who certainly has forfeited the
confidence of those who backed
him as a Republican. But the
task of Republicans in the pri
mary is to pick the man whom
they think has the best prospect
of winning and who gives prom
ise of serving the state in the
Senate with ability and distinc
tion. My endorsement of Phil
Hitchcock is not based on the
neealive reason that McKay
might prove a weak candidate
he would he a strong candidate,
based on his past successes at
the polls; hut because in this
situation I feel that Hitchcock
would be a stronger candidate
in the general election There is
the positive factor, too, that
Hitchcock had proven himself a
man of substance, a speaker of
ability, one with a clear compre
hension of the grave issues of
our times in the international
field anil in such critical areas
as civil rights.
One argument raised againsi
him is that he lacks the prestige
in Washington of his more dis
tinguished opponent. True, as of
now However, if Hitchcock can
heat McKay in the primaries
and Morse in the finals I have
no fear as to what his "prestige"
will be when he gets to Wash
ington We have in Hitchcock,
too. a man with a "political ex
pectancy" of at least three terms

To the Editor;
"There is nothing In preventive
medicine that equals in impor
tance mouth hygiene and the
preservation of teeth."
So said Sir William Osier, who
for many years was head of a
great medical school, Magill Uni
versity of Montreal, Quebec. He
has written many medical books
which today ere being used as
textbooks in medical schools
throughout the world. He is often
spoken of as the father of modern
medicine.
I believe the above quotation
is true and that it is of prime
importance to every individual
to save every tooth possible. The
day that a permanent tooth is
extracted that day the entire
masticating apparatus begins to
fall apart.
The use of pure fluoidated wa
ters will stop up to 6S percent of

America today Let us give our
children and the Inline adults of
