Fluorides
Vote Due
In 5 Cities
Salem, Stayton,
Albany, Lebanon
And MciMinnville
By CHARLES IRELAND
. Valley Editor, The Statesman
Fluoridation will be a hot is
sue Friday at several mid-valley
elections.
With competition at a mini-,
mum for county offices in Linn,
Yamhill and Polk counties, it re
mains for proposed fluoridation
of city water supplies to spark
up local-level interest in the elec
tion in at least five towns.
Besides Salem, midvalley cities
that will vote on fluoridation Fri
day include Stayton, Albany,
Lebanon and McMinnville.
Most of these cities will be vot
tinj! on the proposal for the first
time. Albany, like Salem, turned
it down once before.
Pro and con forces have beenl
at work everywhere fluoridation
is an issue. Newspapers have
been bombarded with letters and
articles.
Favor Fluoridation
At Stayton, the weekly Stayton
Mail has spoken editorially in
favor of fluoridation.
A public forum was held Wed
nesday night at Lebanon with
speakers present for both sides.
The Lebanon Express reported'
that "the meeting broke up short
ly before 11pm. and apparently
neither side had recruited a
single convert duriog the three
hours of somewhat strong dis
cussion "

Communities in the mid-valley
that have fluoridated water in
lude Mill City. Sublimity and
; Salem Heights. Dallas soon will
I have it. The City Council there
took action recently without sub-
mittine it to the electorate
Sublimity made lis decision on
the basis of a postcard poll of
water patrons. Salem Heights
Water District also used a post
card straw vote of patrons in
reaching its decision. It was the
first community in the valley to
add the controversial chemical to
its water.
Woodburn, which isn't voting
on fluoridation this spring,
turned it down two years ago.

there is no enlargement or bulg

to them such facets of scouting
as wood and leather working, first
aid, metal craft, meteorology,
boating, surveying and short wave
transmission. Other booths offered
examples of how to set up a camp

milk weed and fern tips, for those
who might become stranded with
