' j Cold, slick streets and wind hampered firemen, but the -quick arrival of a fire boat was cred ited with saving the gas storage plant of the Time Oil company, adjoining the freight garage. i; A truck inside the . building and two cars parked outside were also destroyed," fire offi cials said. :' '. Cause of the blaze was not de termined. It was discovered by mechanic Frank Burger in MAIL TRIBUNE Fluoridation It's no secret that there's a dispute developing over the merits of adding fluoride to the municipal water supplies of Medford and possibly other Jack son county communities. For the record, the Mail Tribune supports the pro posal because it believes, on the basis of all the evi dence so far presented; that it would be beneficial, relatively economical, would harm no one, and is the best and so far the only practical answer to the prob lem it solves. , ' . . HAVE NEVER been able to understand, fully, the violent and explosive reaction of some of those who oppose it. Opposition based on economic factors or dislike of expanded governmental responsibilities, we can understand, while disagreeing. "But opposition which has an almost fanatical atti tude toward the proposal, which wrenches quotations out of context and puts into them the most sinister possible connotation, which repeats as true statements which' have been proven false, and which asks leading or misleading questions over and over again, completely ignoring perfectly sound and reasonable answers this type of opposition we cannot under stand. ..- IN THE WEEKS to come you "will hear that fluor- ides are "poison"; that adding" them to water is "socialized medicine"; that "authorities? are con vinced that they should be avoided like the plague for this or that reason ; that "proof " of their harmless ness is lacking, that there are better ways of gaining the same end, and so on and so on. We recently received a letter intended for publi cation 'which made a number of flat statements re garding fluoridation. We are, withholding it from publication until we can complete, a check we; are making on these statements. So far at least three of them have proven to be untrue not only untrue, but insidiously misleading. ; rNE OF THE oddest things about the entire situa- tion is the fact that opponents to fluoridation simply refuse to accept evidence which most people would regard as conclusive. The facts (which may be challenged but which nevertheless remain facts) are these : That tiny portions (one part fluoride in one million parts water) of the chemical added to municipal drinking water have shown conclusively, in area after area through out the nation, that dental decay in small children can be reduced drastically. That the cost is negligible (in Medford the operational cost is estimated at 13 cents per water connection per iuv ..... ' - moncn;. i ,-. . . , . - i - . That it is not "socialized medicine" any more than adding vitamins to milk, or chlorine to bad water, is. (It is supported by the American Medical Association, the most violent opponent to socialized medicine in the nation.) That in the recommended amounts, the addition of fluorides - to water is harmless to children,, men, women, pets, vegetables, lawns, flowers, fish, pipes and water tanks.' : That it is also tasteless and odorless. That the "authorities" who oppose fluoridation are no more authoritative, and in most cases vastly less so, than those who strongly support the measure. ( That it is constitutional, declared so by a recent Oregon Supreme Court decision. "1X7ATER in a number of Oregon cities is now treat ' " ed this way. 'A few cities have rejected it after emotion-charged campaigns, based largely on fear, have been waged by opponents. In still others, the question is a live issue as those wishing to see the job done do battle with those who are against it. In Astoria, where water supplies have been fluor idated for the past three years, it is pretty well ac cepted. A recent survey showed that there has been a 37 per cent improvement in the condition of teeth of first grade children in that period. The Astorian Bud get comments ! The big bulk of medical and dental testimony is in favor of fluoridation, and it gets more impressive as time goes on. Fluoridation seems to have come to stay in Astoria, and "will come to more and more cities as its worth becomes more overwhelmingly demonstrated. . -.--" 17HO FAVORS fluoridation in Medford? The doctors do, as evidenced by; a recent unanimous vote of the medical society. The dentists, who are overwhelmed with work and the picture of decay gaining on children's teeth faster than it can be remedied, are too. Others include parents of young children, who stand to gain the most from the proce dure, and others who feel the proposal is progressive and constructive. The opponents include health food advocates, or ganic farming devotees, and others who object on principle to, or fear, artificial additives. ? - -.. . THIS, THEN, is the situation, presented from "a point of view which favors fluordiation. You may be sure that opponents will continue to be heard from. Funds are being raised for this purpose. -, - v The communications column of the Mail Tribune will be open to both ; sides, with the understanding that arguments must be kept factual, non-recriminatory in nature, within space limitations, and to the point. ;.: . ; - .' .;.v--.;r . . .'; .vm tt - It is our hope that a decision can be made on a democratic basis of the greatest good for the greatest number, after full and open discussion and debate, without arousing undue ? resentment or passion on either side.

WLLSON United Press Correspondent ' Washington (U.PJ Too bad Col. Ed Starling isn't around to match marksmanship with Presi dent Eisenhower in the Georgia piney wood. Ed was a Kentucky colonel who looked like a general and acted like a field marshal. He . was a real marksman. Ed abandoned or dinary shoot ing habits in his early youth and went into the brush 'for quail with Lyie c. Wilson nouung .Heav ier than a .410 gauge shotgun. Many '. a shooter must have done a double take this week at the ThomasvUle, Ga., dispatch reporting that Mr. Eisenhower had gone out for quail with a .410. For your information, a .410 is almost a rifle with a bore only slightly larger than a cig arette. The number of shots which can be crammed into a .410 shell is mighty few and the number ' of shooters who can bring down quail with such brief armament is fewer. Small won der that shooters wondered t the President's choice of a gun. If he' gets quail he's a cham pion and should proceed to the great annual trap and skeet shooting events and win himself some medals. Ed always got quail, an almost perfect shot. Interest In Fishing It was Ed who interested the late Calvin Coolidge in fishing. The colonel was a lifetime Sec ret Service man better with a pistol than with a shoulder gun. Back there in early 1923 Cal had Babson Discusses Stocks By ROGER W. BABSON Babson Park, Mass. As I travel - about, there are four questions which I am most com monly asked.. Let me discuss them this week. Question No. 1 On stocks in general: Would This Be A Good Time For A SmaU In vestor To Sell All His Securities, Even Though The Market May Go A Bit Higher, And Wait For The Anticipated Bargain Levels? .This question implies the natural desire in. aU of , us to want to get out of the market at the top, be fore a down turn . occurs. Scarcely a day goes by, when the market looks relative ly; high, that most ous do not feel like selling aU of Roger W. Babson OUT securities. Then the next day we hesitate to sell any in the hope they wiU go a little higher. There is a distinct danger in selling out all of one's holdings and then later becoming discouraged about that decision if the stocks rise to still higher levels. If this happens, one can., create the double error of selling too soon and then buying back too high. The best way, I believe, to avoid being "whipsawed" is not to depend upon a policy of seU ing all of one's stocks at any particular timei but rather to seU a few stocks from time to. time as they- advance and as very substantial profits have been made in them. Anyone who carries into a market slump stocks amounting to only 25 to 35 per cent of his investment funds certainly has no real wor ries. The investor who is de pendent upon income and who is not price-conscious might carry a larger amount of sound dividend-paying stock issues in to a market slump. I suggest, heref ore, that rather then seU ing out aU of your stock-holdings and then sitting back and waiting for bargain levels, it would be better .for you to keep a few stocks, but at the same time hold a backlog of reserves that would be available for the repurchase of stocks later on. No. 2 Question No. 2 On utility stocks: Do You Think Utilities Would Suffer With Another Democratic Congress? . Many investors associate a Democratic Congress with the unscrambling of various utility holding companies . prior to World War H, which adversely affected their stocks. Also the Democrats have . led the move ment toward public ownership of various hydro-electric de velopments. Now, however, that the utility industry is organized and capitalized on a straight forward basis,' and since new hydro-electric developments may be limited in scope, I believe the utility stocks present per haps the - best combination of security and yield. Because the utilities have had to raise tremendous amounts of new capital during the last ten years, it -has been necessary for the various state regulatory com missions to take a somewhat more generous , attitude in the establishment of rates -in order to permit a fair return on the invested capital. In view of--the been asked about fishing on an up-coming vacation. "Don't think I'll fish," the President replied. "Fishing is for smaU boys." There was an election on the next year and Starling persuad ed Mr. Coolidge to pose with a rod and reel, just to humor American fishermen who didn't like that crack about their fav orite sport. Mr. Coolidge not only posed, he caught some fish. Thereafter, the President usuaUy directed his vacations toward areas where the fishing was good. Good fishing was not the only vacation factor. Mr. Coolidge was not a man to be hasty about spending money, his own or the taxpayers'. It was his habit to require merely a special car at tached to a regular train when he traveUed. He and Mrs. Cool idge were content with a table in the regular dining car, which was reserved for them, although ordinary people could use it when they'd had their food. Board and Room And Mr. Coolidge liked free board and room. If his vacation visit' coincided with a big real estate promotion, as one did in Florida, for example, the Presi dent could overlook it and hope that the suckers would eventual ly get their money back. It was that way toward the end of his elected term when Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge were persuaded to spend a free Thanksgiving at an enormous Virginia plantation for which a smart promoter needed some fast publicity. The promoter was about to .make the big house and spacious grounds into an elegant and expensive country club. Ed Starling went along as fact that still further expansion is anticipated in the industry, we should expect a continuation of this favorable rate policy to make it possible for the utilities to raise money through the sale of stock." This should assure a continuation of present divi dends, but does not give the holder of utility stocks much opportunity for appreciation. No. 3 Question No. 3 On inflation: Would You Expect Greater Inflation Under A Democratic Congress? Also, Greater Foreign Aid? I assume that the idea of in flation which prompts this ques tion refers to a rising real estate and commodity price level and a rising cost of living. Actually, the great inflation of the last fifteen years has arisen because of the monetary inflation of World War II and because 7 of the subsequent debt expansion of aU kinds and the heavier borrowings by the general pub lic to buy on installments. After prices have become fully ad justed to the present inuatea monety base, I doubt very much, that even a Democratic Congress would create sufficient additional monetary inflation beyond what would be needed to hold prices at present levels. In the matter of foreign aid, there might i be a somewhat greater tendency on the part of a strongly Democratic Congress to grant heavy expenditures for such purposes in order to keep employment high in the United States. However, it is likely that even in this matter there would not be too much dif ference, regardless of which major party controls Congress. I think that long-term promises of aid (more than two years at a time) wiU be avoided; but money aid is far cheaper than war. Furthermore, the net cost of foregin aid need not have much effect on Federal taxes. No. 4 . s Question No. 4 On How to be "liquid" and yet get in come: What Is Your Advice To A Reader Who Has 30 40 Of His Resources In Cash And Desires To Obtain An Income From It For The Next Three Or Four Years? Although I can make certain broad generalizations regarding the division of investment funds and the nature of securities for each division, it is, I believe, very important to relate the percentage distribution of funds to the particular reader and his personal requirements. All of us, however,, recog nize that, the market is now pretty high, even though it may go higher before a long-term downtrend sets in. It appears obvious . that ' readers who are not prepared to see their stocks sell much lower some day ought to hold a substantial amount of reserves now. . This does not mean that the money has to stay in checking accounts. It is quite common practice in. in vestment circles to designate as cash, money that is really, in vested in savings bank acounts, Savings & Loan deposits, high grade readily marketable short term bonds, and even certain preferred stocks. It is desirable to have your money earning something. Holding reserves to day as opposed to common stocks entails less sacrifice of income than at any time for many years. a member of the Secret Service detail. ' ! Newsreels of that holiday showed Mr. Coolidge on the trap ranee, crumbling clav -nigeons to dust like a Massachusetts Dan iel Boone. It was the first Wash ington had known that Mr. Cool idge could handle a eun. Your correspondent saw that newsreel and wondered. Long years afterward, your correspondent asked Td about it. "Ed, I didn't know Cal was such a great shot." "Coudn't hit a barn." Ed re plied. "I was standing there just out of camera range with my .410. Every time Cal shot, I shot. And I don't miss." In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS Since, judging by appearances down this way, every American has it in mind to visit Mexico either day after tomorrow or as soon thereafter as he can man age it a few words on getting across the border , might be in order here. THIRST, if you're not already a A member of the AAA (Ameri can Automobile Association) you'd better become one before you start out. It's weU worth the moderate cost. The books you'U get describing accommo dotions and the cost thereof wiU be immensely helpful. " The AAA maintains a well staffed and ' efficient office at Nogales and the pleasant Span ish girl on duty there will teU you . everything . you need to know. She speaks faultless Eng lish, so you need have no fears on that score. SHE will teU you that your three primary essentials are a visitor's permit, a car permit and ADEQUATE CAR INSUR ANCE.- Of these, the last really comes first, because if you have an accident it'wUl be treated under Mexican law as a criminal rather than a civil matter. In such a case, adequate insurance is of great help.. Unless your policy specifical ly includes foreign protection, it will be invalid in Mexico. So you must buy a Mexican policy, or go without. The possible in conveniences involved in going without insurance are too great for. a prudent person to risk. - THE cost of insurance is rea sonably high as compared with term policies in the United States. -. For f uU coverage fire, theft, collision, personal liabil ity, personal injury, etc. on a medium-priced American car not more than two years old, it wiU run about $1.80 per day. If you guess your time at say two weeks and return sooner than that, you will be reimbursed for the time you didn't use.. ' You don't have to buy 'your insurance from the AAA. Jf you'U close your eyes and throw a, rock a smaU one, preferably any door you happen to hit will probably sell you a policy. Insurance., signs in American Nogales are as numerous as Ethiopians in Ethiopia. Practic- aUy every place of business dis plays one. Nor do you have to get your visitor's permit there. It's just more convenient. Your visitor's permit wUl cost you three doUars per person and is good for 180 days. Your car permit costs nothing. It is issued by the Mexican authorities on the Sonora side of the gate. The general advice is to guard it as your most precious possession. This is true because your per mit is your proof that it is your personal car, that you wiU use it in Mexico only for your own transportation and that you're not coming into the country with the pious idea of selling your American car at a fairly stiff price to some Mexican resident who would thus be enabled to avoid the duty on American cars: Without the permit sys tem, smuggling of that sort could become quite a racket. If you lose your car permit you might be in a peck of trouble at any moment when you might be asked for it, and you'd certain ly be in hot water when you got back to the border. So hang onto it.

PORK LIVER Today and By Walter THE PRESIDENT'S ORDEAL Tt is rpasonahlv nlain that the President knew in advance of his latest check-up that the signs of his recovery would be fa vorable. Thus, at his press conf ere nee a few days be fore he said that he would probably trust his own feel ings rather Walter T.lrnimann than the doc tors' reports. This could only have meant that the favorahle report of the doctors would not decide the matter. Moreover it stands to reason that he has heard considerahlv more from his doctors than the public has heard, or could have expected to hear, about what limitations, he must expect to live under. The decision whether to run again has not- been clarified for him by the doctors. They could have told him that he must not run again. They could not, and did not, teu him that he could take his health for granted in making his decision The Presi dent has made it clear that he himself is not taking his health for granted, and that should he decide to run again the ques tion of his physical fitness to bear the fuU burden of the of fice wiU be not only a legitimate but a necessary subject of pub lic discussion. No one, in fact, has discussed the Question of his fitness so frankly as has the .President himself. ... -...- TiHE DECISION which he must now make is whether he himself feels within himself that he is equal to the burden of his office, is eaual to it not as Tip has known , it during the past month but in its great periods of strain and stress and crisis. At Dr. White's press conference Mrs. May Craig of "The-Portland Press Herald" made a remark which, despite Mr. Hagertv"s comment, everybody in Wash- : ington knows to be - true that the President has not recently had to bear the f uU load of the office. No doubt he has had a reasonably fuU schedule. But January was a comparatively quiet period both at home and sc-road, a lull before the storms ttat are brewing in : Congress. in '' the election camnaien and from - the gathering momentum of the Soviet challenge in -Asia and Africa;';"?'. w The hardest question that the President has to Tesolve is Mot whether he might die in office The doctors have given him as good an assurance on that point as they could have. Nor is it a question of his being incapaci tated, though that eventuality is. as he himself has said in one of his press conferences, a weak link in our constitutional sys tem. The doctors' report is ade quately reassuring on that Doint The real question is not -,death or disability but inadeauacv. not being at his best, being able to carry on tne routine of the., of fice but not to supply 'the kind of energetic leadership which the. world situation is certain to demand. . - . This, it is auite Dlain. is the crucial point which the Presi dent is now wrestling with. nPHERE is another point, second . only to this, which would become of critical importance if he resolved all the other ques tions, in favor of running. It turns on the vice-Presidency. There can be no doubt at all that do your driver's license,, your last lodge receipt, maybe even your gasoline credit card.' But if you're - a naturalized citizen, you'd better have all your papers along. ; ... , .;, ;- Mexico, whose tariff Jaws are extremely mild, , pays little at tention to the stuff you're bring ing " in except in the case of your '.automobile. If: you .have valuable jewelry or furs and are of a cautious nature, wanting to take no chances whatever, you can register them with the Amer ican customs men who will probably tell you it isn't neces sary.

MUTTON ROAST BEEF ROAST Lb. If o)(o) Tomorrow Lippmann the President would have a very special personal obligation to consider without fear or favor, impersonally and . objectively, the choice of the man who would succeed him in case of death or disability.. He will be required,, if he runs again, to give the country his personal guarantee that the vice-presidential . candi date does in fact believe in, does not merely support politically, the principles that he himself stands for. He can give no such miarantoo for-Mr. Nixon. It is not a ques tion of whether Mr. cnn. ports the Eisenhower legislative program or wnether he speaks up in defense of the policies. Of - course he does. The question is whether he repre sents the central thing which Eisenhower renrespnfs tv.o which has given Eisenhower sucn a noia on the American peo ple. . , This central thins is that vtm. enhower unites the country and heals its divisions. This precisely is wnai iiixon does not do. In stead of being a national leader, he is a ruthless partisan. He is a politician who divides and em bitters the people. The country ujb just nad a spectacular dem onstration of this rh a ra itnrl ef i i in his speech at the Lincoln Day uumev in jiew York. "Speaking for a unanimous Supreme Court," said the Vice-President, a great Republican Chief Jus tice, Earl Warren, has ordered an end to racial segregation in the nation's public schools." A man who will exploit for partisan purposes such a decision of the Supreme Court does not have within his conscience those scruples which the country has the right to expect in the Presi dent of the United States. The question, of who would run with Eisenhower is clearly bound up, for all practical pur poses inseparable from, the question of whether he himself will run again. . Albany Zirconium Plant May Reopen Washington U.R) Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger (D.-Ore.) said today he had been informed by Adm. Lewis Strauss, chairman of the Atomic Energy commis sion, that the Albany, Ore., zir conium plant might be opened for production. ' r - V ; - Strauss told Neuberger: ; "It may be necessary to open the Albany plant on a production basis" because "it now appears that by 1958 '. he commission may need zirconium at a great er rate than was previously an ticipated in the request for pro posals to industry in October." The Oregon Democrat 'pro tested the prospective abandon ment of the Bureau' of Mines plant last December. ' . 1 ; Now; ; he quoted .Strauss, as saying: .
