They are made of pre cut aluminum sheets." MAIL TRIBUNE On Public Service There seem o be plenty of candidates for state and federal offices this year. Sadly, however, this situation doesn't seem to ap ply to the local county races at least not yet. And it's only a couple of weeks until the deadline for candi dates to file for the May primary election ballot. TpHERE should be at least two candidates for nom- ination for each office from each of the two par ties. But as of this writing, there is only one primary contest (for the Republican, nomination for county commissioner), and in several races no candidates at all. - - There is certainly no lack of able people in Jack son county who would make good public servants.. What, then, is the trouble? ; .,... TTHE .WAY-we -see it, there are two major draw- backs. One, andVpossibly the most serious, is the necessity of putting on an election campaign, letting the voters get acquainted with the candidate and his ideas and plans. This takes time (and time is money), thought, planning and nervous energy. It also sub jects candidates to publicity and attention that not all people relish. The other objection is the fact that the financial rewards are relatively small. Why should a man or woman who has been successful in business life ask for the headaches of public service at a salary far less than that to which they are accustomed? . THE COUNTY is a multi-million dollar per year business. And the administrative heads of a mul ti-million dollar corporation certainly can expect to receive more than the $4,800 or $5,000 which we of fer those who are responsible for administering the county s business. The result, stated bluntly, is that-some of the of fice seekers are older men who see in public service a sort of semi-retirement, carrying with it a modest stipend and not too much work. ... THERE ARE, -of course, exceptions. It may .not even apply to a majority of the offices in question. But there certainly is a trend that way, not only in Jackson county but all through the state. Our system of county government is outmoded and inefficient at best. And when it fails to attract the best possible people, the result leaves something to be desired. - .. We wish the system could be changed to attract young, able and vigorous responsibility. But until then, we shall have to place our chief hope in the fact that some people are willing. .to make the sacrifices financial, and otherwise of seeking public office simply out of a sense of duty to the com munity in which they live, and a desire to be of service to their 'f ellow-citizens. E.A. ?y Capital Punishment In Great Britain the House of Commons is the supreme legislative authority. Last week it voted to end, tentatively and experimentally, the use of capital punishment in British prisons. --''.- In doing so it joined an increasing number of na tions which have abolished the death penalty, includ ing Belgium, The. "Netherlands, Portugal, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, part of Switzerland, and most Latin American countries. ' Six of the 48 states in this country have abolished the death penalty. Oregon, between 1914 and 1920, was prohibited bjr initiated amendments to the state constitution from imposing capital punishment. ,.. TN THE COURSE of our reportorial duties, we have witnessed two executions in the gas chamber, in Salem. They are experiences we would be loath, to repeat. The cold and deliberate taking of a human life even one which is taken legally, and which'is of lit tle value to society is nothing to be viewed lightly. As a witness we felt sick and -degraded. ' The fact that much of the Western world is divid ed over the imposition of the death penalty shows that is still a live issue. The vote-, of the House of Commons could well start a reexamination of the social values of capital punishment. ' JMANY sociologists and modern penologists feel that the death penalty is unnecessary. There is no marked difference in crime rates between areas which do and which do not have capital punishment. There are two basic reasons for putting a prison er to death the protection of society, the removal of an off ender on the one hand, and as punishment, a deterent on the other. Either purpose could be as well served by life ' imprisonment, under proper safeguards. - -... So perhaps -it would be safe to say that the only real reason it is kept on is the motive of retribution the "eye for an eye" philosophy of the Old Testa ment. We fail to see how it can still be justified under any civilized and enlightened system of thought. . : ' e.a.

In THe Day's By FRANK JENKINS . The motel, which is an Amer ican institution that is begin ning to spread. over the .world like cokes and jazz music, is just arriving in Mexico in a serious .way. Naturally enough; it is coming from the north. The far northern state of Sonora is already pretty well supplied with motels. As one comes south, they get scarcer. At Navajoa, well down in the state of Sonora, there is a very good one. At El Carrizo, at the far southern ' edge of Sonora, there is a new one, built right out in the desert and de signed strictly for overnight stops. It has no resort area of any kind around it. It seems to be doing all right. At Los Mochis, just over the line in the state of Sinaloa, there is a motel. It competes for bus iness with several established hotels in the town and holds up its end of the competition quite nicely, apparently filling up first. AT CULIACAN, -the capital of the capital of the , state of Sinaloa, there is a' motel that seems to have hit the: jackpot. It has been full on advance reservations all through the month of February. It is new and attractive, quite in the American manner, and competes most successfully with the hotels in this city-of nearly 50,000. At Mazatlan, one of the Mex ican west coast's most popular beach resorts, there is a new motel out at the northern edge, and it stays full in spite of the fact that the .established hotels are all down on the beach. TT IS needless to add, of course, that Americans are the 'main stay of ' this burgeoning : motel business. . They are accustomed to them at home. Then there is the undoubtful fact that motels are easier to . get into and get out of and in a foreign country, speaking a strange language, that means quite a lot. One gets into and out of a motel with far less contact with people who don't speak one's, own language and whose language one doesn't speak. ; " . , In entering a motel, the only person you have to speak to is the owner or the desk attend ant,, and in leaving you don't have to speak to anybody at all if you don't want to for down here, as in our own country, the pay-in-advance custom is well established. '- , And the motel owners, not being dumb, see. to it that the person at the registration desk speaks English. QJINCE Americans are coming & into Mexico in an; , ever-increasing flood and since so far they tend to display a- prefer ence for motels, it is a safe pre diction that a lot of new motels will be built in Mexico in the next few years especially -on the west coast. A MOMENT ago I mentioned reservations. They were a burning issue last week and the week before. There was a reason therefor. It was fiesta week and in Mexico fiesta week is SOME THING. . All the natives come into the towns from all around and dance and sing and stroll in the plazas and strum their guitars and throw confetti and talk and laugh and have the time of their lives in a joyous and charming way. Almost nobody seems to get too much tequila or cerveza and everybody has '.a bushel of fun, It goes on for about a week and finally comes to a much-re-gretted-by-all end on Ash Wed nesday. , Babson Discusses Locations Babson Park, Mass. During these cold winter months, I get many letters asking where to locate to get an easy living. Frankly I do not know of any such loca tions. Every one of our - 4 8, states and 3 territories has has its advan- Koger w. Babson tages and dis advantages. The South is very attractive during the "winter sea son; but its summers do not en courage ambition and progress. The Pacific Coast has a wonder ful climate; but is becoming overpopulated by job seekers. New England leads in education al facilities; but , it is handi capped by high-cost power and by its distance from both raw materials and markets. - The Central West appears to be the surest place to make a living; but it holds few specu lative opportunities not so many as doe the Southwest, such as Texas. Two hardy young people with self-control could probably save money easi est in Alaska; while Washington, D. C, would be the most diffi cult ' place to lay up savings. Unfortunately; the saying 'Pasy come easy go" applies to' every part of our great country. What About Big Cities? I advise young people not to settle in our biggest cities. This advice applies especiaUy to large seaboard cities such as Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Balti more, Los Angeles, and even San News ITHILE these - light-hearted -" people were having a light- hearted and carefree time dur ing fiesta week they were also using up hotel space . so that there wasn't enough to go around. The end result was that the tide of. Americans flowin'g in in search of sunshine and warmth was hard put to it for a place to sleep. "CiVERYBODY was sitting tight where he was and phoning frantically for reservations at the next place and there was a catch to that. The Mexican gov ernment telephone line was so swamped that every morning it took about five hours to catch up on the calls that had ac cumulated overnight and mean while new calls were pouring in all day. TT WAS rugged while it lasted f and it lasted all of a week. But . come Ash Wednesday and the end of fiesta time the situa tion -cleared up and t I don't think anybody has had much trouble since. The .tide of Amer icans continues to flow, but I haven't seen anybody sleeping in the street. UP Correspondents Forecast Events Which May Be News United Press correspondents look ahead at the news that will make the headlines. Look for Israel to get some American jet fighter planes and other weapons now that Saudi Arabia is getting those 18 tanks. The government authorized the tank shipment, then stopped it, finally gave it an OK. The hush hush Central Intelligence agen cy, the State department and the Pentagon were seriously wor ried over the tank mixup. They feared (1) that unless King Saud got his tanks, he would refuse to let the Air Force keep its im portant Dhahran air base; (2) that Saud would buy Russian arms with American "oil royal ties. Due to all' the publicity, Israel will get some arms too. But nothing like the $64,000,000 worth it seeks. V. K. Krishna Menon, India's roving,, ambassador,' is expected to reach the United States about the end of the month. Insiders report he may .bring a new "East-West peace plan" drafted by him and Prime Minister Jawharlal Nehru. Th.9 word is that Krishna Menon wants to unveil it to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles before Dulles leaves March 2 for the South east Asia Treaty ; Organization conference in Pakistan. New Job for Mrs. Luce? Rome; diplomatic circles are sure that American Ambassador Clare Boothe '..Luce is headed for a hew State department assign ment. She's flying to Washing ton to prepare for the visit of Italian President Giovanni Gron chi on Feb. 26. Rome believes she will talk , over a new job. Also that she'lT give up the Rome job in time to take part in the fall election campaign. . LOW-COST PLANE Mayfield, N. Y. (U.R) Owen S. Billman is a firm believer in "do-it-yourself." The 34-year- old salesman has built his own airplane from second-hand parts at a cost of. only $500. The craft, about a third the size of a Piper Cub, has been granted a certif icate of airworthiness by the Civil Aeronautics Administra tion. . ' Francisco. Because of the auto mobile and the trek - to the suburbs, these cities are going through changes which are dif f icult to forecast. Frankly, I believe young people make a mistake in settling therein. The above , advice is wholly apart from the possibility of the big cities ' bombed in ; case of World War JII. Although such a war, is not now in sight, the best authorities seem to agree it is inevitable sometime. It, therefore, might be unwise now to buy- property in one of these big seaboard cities or even in the immediate suburbs. In fact, as this belief becomes more general, just the fear of war could depress "the prices of such property, even .though this fear might also force higher wages. But, what would higher wages amount to - if you -should be bombed? - . J . Where To Invest Invest your money in . other cities i "than those mentioned above. In short, I " would not invest in the ,, electric or . gas companies of any of these big seacoast cities. It may be pos sible to protect certain of our interior big cities from .bombs dropped by airplanes'.- The bil lions, which we are spending on radar, should be very help ful in this respect. No, radar, however, has been invented that will detect an enemy submarine suddenly rising to the surface on a dark night 200 miles from New York City and prevent it from ' throwing an atomic mis sile into the heart of New York City. ,' ommunicotions Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves vhe right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. . Speaks for Mother! To the Editor: Thank you very much for your editorial regard ing fluoridating the Medford water supply. I can well imagine the large number of letters you have received regarding your editorial and I hope this letter will help to balance the scales. You wUl not receive as many letters of commendation as of condemnation. The mothers of small children have a rather difficult time steal ing a few moments to put pen to paper but our praise and our thanks are sincere. I also realize that it took courage for you to write and publish the editorial even though it was your honest opinion and true feelings after reviewing the evidence for and against fluoridation I am only one of many moth ers in Medford who thought that Medford would automaticaUy adopt a program that had proven beneficial to so many and harm ful to no one. However, since this is not to be the case and we are the people who so strong ly desire fluoridation we can and wiU find the time to support fluoridation of the Medford wat er supply. Mrs. Andrew D. Bulkley 219 Saginaw dr. Medford, Ore. God Given Freedom To the Editor: Since you stated in your editorial that you do not fully understand the violent and explosive reaction of some who oppose fluoridation, I'd like to offer a partial clarification of the "why" of all this opposition First of aU, the "pro's" of fluoridation point out how bene ficial and economical this mea sure would be to children's den tal welfare. Yet, in aU fairness, can we enforce fluoridation upon an, irregardless of it's benefi cial claims? If so, shouldn't we also enforce religion upon all, in view of it's proven ad vantageous qualities? Let s ask ourselves, "Is .fluoridation the solution to this problem?" Or does the answer lie in the vast consumption of candy, cake, sugar, ice cream, pop and re fined bread in our daily diet? The prevailing sin of ignor ance is that we generally in dulge in edibles pleasing to' our palate, . rather than consuming nutritious foods which are pro fitable to our whole being. God made all things -good, including our superb spring water. Then why attempt to treat symptoms when we need an lip-nooting of our' unwise indulgences? It is high time for humanity to "Take time to think!" Are ' we reaUy progressing, when we . remove all nutritious elements from our flour, then inject a couple of vitamins in each loaf, and claim to have "enriched" bread. Three decades ago, doctors en dorsed aluminum ware, 'today we are warned of its detrimental tendencies. . What error will be discovered in fluoridation 50 years from now? True, we learn by trial , and error, but must everyone be subjected to these experiments? In behalf of those,, convinced of it's bene ficial factors, tablets, contain ing -fluoride, should be made available, and then we could still retain our individual God given freedom. Henry Burmeister, ' 843 West Jackson st. , Medford, Ore. For Employment, Investment Very few companies are now building new factories in these large seaport cities; .instead, many of them are building new factories in interior cities. The most : desired ' locations - are in centers .'with a population of less than 75,000, and even in cities and towns of 10,000 or less. All the above makes me bullish on the small cities and towns of our country. They will get new industries and larger populations, and win enjoy low er living costs. They have all the advantages of the big city, with none of the disadvantages.

JOWL BEEF BEEF SLICED or SLAB BACON ROAST STEAK BACON Out of Retirement To the Editor: Regarding water fluoridation, it might ap pear from the number of anti fluoridation letters in the Mail Tribune that local people are overwhelmingly opposed. Feel ing this is untrue, and feeling further that the majority want only sound information, free from fanatical propaganda, up on which to base their decision, I am coming out of retirement as a writer of Letters-to-the-Editor, in order to throw such weight as I have on the pro fluoridation side, and to urge others to do likewise, lest the cause be lost through sheer lethargy. The Mail Tribune has pub lished much sound material, in cluding Eric AUen's exceUent editorial of Feb, 17. It is hard to improve upon the latter. I would only suggest E. A. re spond to Vern Shangle's chal lenge of his cost estimate by summarizing the figures obtain able from the water department. That fluoridation does reduce tooth decay appears now so weU established that many opponents no longer bother to try to dis prove it. Rather they f aU back on the old bugaboo, rat-poison. Or they claim that fluoridation cause's ' an increase in sundry ailments, such as the horrid sounding fluorosis. Or they claim it is a diabolical plot of the big aluminum and chemical manu facturers andor socialists and or communists. Or they claim that those desiring fluoridation could achive it by adding tablets to their own drinking-water, I haven't space here to answer these arguments in detail. But they have been' refuted time and again by highly . competent authorities, whom I will be glad to cite. The last argument, us ing tablets or such,1 probably has the most merit. But this is expensive and time-consuming and would probably bedone by only the most well-to-do and conscientious. There is also the danger of a young child finding the tablets and swaUowing some. Let me remind Vern Shangle and others: That the Multnomah County Medical society approved fluori dation of Portland's water; that fluorosis amounts at the worst to slight white spots on the back teeth,' , harmless and . dis cernable only by an expert, when normal fluoridation is in effect, and that what is poison ous in a large - dose may be bene ficial in a small- dose iodine, for example, or. comman table salt. You can die from drinking sea 'water, . because .the system cannot eliminate the salt fast enough, but a little sea water won't hurt you. : Almus Pruitt : 119 North Central ave. Medford, Ore. (Editor's note: The Medford water commission estimates an initial investment of $29,820, and total annual cost of $13,118 The latter includes depreciation estimates of $2,280 annually, to cover the initial construction costs. iThus the annual costs, in effect, include the first invest ment. Based on 8,530. water ser vices on Jan. 1, 1956 and a pop ulation of 28,000 on the same date, the cost per service per year is $1.54; cost , per service per month, 13 cents; cost; per capita per year 47 cents, and cost per capita per month 4 cents.) ' ' -. the company's plants or factories are located. If all or most of them are in any large city, this is rather risky," from the stand point' of war risk or labor costs, oij from other points of - view! I don't : like to have "all my eggs in one basket.". ; In addition' to reading ..the president's report, note the. bal ance sheet and compare it with that of previous years. This means-' you should keep old re ports as long as you hold the stock. Only in ' this way can you. learn whether the company is reducing its debt or increas ing it: I especially refer to bank loans and short-term note is sues held by institutions. Long term bond issues do not bother me, as the owners are scattered all over the country. Denial Caries and Food To the Editor: My Readers Digest came yesterday. I began leafing through it but stopped, when I came to "Hunzal The Happy Land of Just Enough." I began reading avidly and came to this paragraph: "There is only one doctor in Hunza except for an occasional foreign medical man, who visits to marvel at the Hunzukuts' phenomenal freedom from diseases ... A surgeon ... noted , the complete absence of ulcers, dyspepsia,1 cancer. Most authorities attribute the Hunzu kuts' , unusual , vitality and lon gevity to their simple, healthful diet." Then I remembered that another had written that they live to be one hundred twenty years old and die with every tooth in their mouths. Let us compare this record with our own. Dr. N. Phillip Norman, M.D., of New York City in Fundamentals of Nutrition for Physicians and Surgeons in the Journal of Orthodontic and Oral Surgery, . Nov. 1947, writing about the physical unfitness of draftees in World War H as com pared with World War I, states, that rejections were 14 per cent higher even though standards were lowered. He ascribes this mounting unfitness to the great ly increased use of highly pro cessed foods which occurred be tween 1918 and 1941. Dr. Allison G. James, D.D.S., of Beverly HUls states that the increasing incidence of dental caries close--ly agrees with the increased use Of refined and concentrated carbohydrates ; in our food.- Through this processing the health promoting substances such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and others are either lost or destroyed. Dr. Weston R. Price was the first dentist to publish an article stating that the primary cause of dental caries was vitamin deficiency. But his article met with so much opposition and abuse that he decided to take a trip around the world, visit as many native peoples as possible, and compile data of what he found. His book, Nutrition and Physical Degener ation, shows that in all parts of the world where the native popu lation had changed from their original foods to the use of "civilized" foods there was a statistical rise not only in dental caries but also in other diseases. Other observers have corrobor ated his findings. ' ' "' Since faulty nutrition is the primary cause of dental caries, as weU as of most of our other ills, how futile to believe that adding so virulent a poison as sodium fluoride to our water can remedy the situation! , .Anna M. Streed, 36 No. Peach st., Medford," Ore. Facts on Fluorosis ., To the Editor: The- introdue tion of anything new naturally is bound to receive same sincere opposition and fluoridation is no exception. However, the initial opposition is usually quite emo tional and based on ignorance of the facts. It is a well known fact that high concentration of fluorides found naruraUy in public water causes a condition known as dental flouorosis, often called mottled enamel. In such areas, the degree of dental fluorosis may be such that dental enamel readily picks up stains which dis color the teeth. - Where the drinking water contains a concentration of one part per million of fluoride (pro- " posed concentration in Medford water system), there is evidence of a very mild degree of dental fluorosis in less thon 10 per cent of children usmg such water; however, this degree of dental fluorosis does not cause staining. It can be detected only by den tists with special training and experience in recognizing ; such slight degrees as are present. In fact, many dentists believe that the amount of so-caUed mot tling associated with 1 ppm flou- rine in drinking water in most parts of the United States actual ly, enhances the beauty of the teeth. ; The advantage of fluoridation is that the amount of fluorides in r' the water can be controUed to a point ; where staining of ' the teeth does not occur, but at the same time", prqyides for the de velopment of decay resistant teeth. . .: '; .
