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

It Takes Good Markmanship to
Shoot Quail With Gun Ike Uses
By LYLE C. 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.

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.

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 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.

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

your gasoline credit card.' But

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

Plant May Reopen
Washington U.R) Sen. Rich
ard L. Neuberger (D.-Ore.) said
today he had been informed by
Adm. Lewis Strauss, chairman

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: . "The situation is cur
rently under review If a deci
sion is reached to reopen the
plant, the industrial firms who
were requested to submit propo
sals last November will be ad
vised' so they may' also submit
proposals for operating . the
plant. . '

be reached shortly," Strauss
