'Conspiracy' Seen in Fluoride Plans new torn wave Blows To Eastern Doctors and others in the med ical profession are lending themselves to a conspiracy for the sole profit of chemical manufacturers when they fight for fluoridation in public water systems, . according to V e r n Shangle, locaf anti-fluoridation leader. He spoke Monday noon at the regular Jackson County Cham ber of Commerce round table presenting the opposition's side of the fluoridation question. Next Monday noon a representa tive of those favoring fluoride in Medford's water will speak. Claim Rights Violated Shangle, president of the Ore gon Natural Foods associates, said "We who oppose fluorida tfon are as much concerned with the health of our . children as those for fluoridation of drink ing water. We only contend that when we are forced to drink flu oridated water our rights as citi zens are being violated." American people are slowly being poisoned, Shangle main tained, and quoted from a num ber of sources, who allege that "sodium silica fluoride is a syn thetic, metallic, inorganic poi son." Fluoridation was described as a "weak crutch to put under a physical deterioration that has been going on among our people ever since the advent of refined foods upon the American scene." Asks Belter Food The answer to. the caries problem, according to Shangle, is not "poison fluorine," but bet ter food for our children and less "devitalized, degenerated, life less foods that are being con sumed in such great quantities." . Shangle displayed a pamphlet lauding natural foods, distribut ed by the Southern Oregon dist rict of the Northwest Conference in Dental Medicine. It states that proper eating can reduce caries 90 per cent. Fluoridation enthu siasts maintain a gain of about 60 per cent. Quotes 1939 Pamphlet The 1939 year book published by the U. S. department of agri: culture, "Foods and Life,", which Shangle quoted, warned that flu orine should be avoided from birth to 12 years. He declared that "the public health service now is urging and promoting its use for our children in those exact years." "Does anyone have the right to experiment with the lives of our children? Shangle asked. Proponents do not tell of the 500 cities where fluoridation has been defeated, he charged, nor do they report the increase of deaths in cities that have added fluorides to their water. He cited Grand Rapids, Mich., and the Newburgh-Kingston, N.Y., test cases where, he main tained, figures conflict and he said heart disease and other dis eases increased considerably. Fluoride in Foods Speaking of fluorides which appear naturally in foods, he said tea, acid calcium phosphate baking powder, celery leaves, gelatin and others are big pro viders of the chemical, and that it is possible that the nation -c-tually gets sufficient fluoride from such sources. From a philosophical stand point, Shangle declared that Lenin of Russia said, "Get con trol of the public health agen cies and furnish the keystone on the arch of the socialistic state." He alleged that fluoridation of public water supplies is but a step toward complete socialism. He closed with the words of Abraham Lincoln that "to re main silent when we should speak out in protest, makes cowards of men." 36 Influenza Cases Reported Last Week . Fifty-nine cases of communi cable disease were reported to the Jackson county health de partment for the week ending Feb. 26. ,Ot these, 36 cases were influ enza, 7 were strep throat and 4 were pneumonia. There were three cases of chicken pox, four measles, two tuberculosis, one impetigo, pne mumps, and one case of pink eye. Half of Nation By UNITED PRESS A cold wave shoved its way into the nation's eastern half to day behind heavy snows in the North and scattered ' tornadoes in the South. Temperatures dropped 20 to 25 degrees from the Southern Plains to Ohio valley. More cold was expected farther east and temperatures averaged 10 de grees below zero early today in northern Minnesota. Tornadoes Hurt Four In the South, tornadoes in jured four persons in Tennessee and hit the central Georgia com munities of Russelville and Yatesville. The Tennessee twister ripped through seven rural communi ties near Gallatin late yesterday. It leveled two homes, damaged at least 18 others, and churned a three-mile wide path of de struction for 15 miles. The Georgia tornadoes caused minor damage but no injuries. Elsewhere in Dixie, winds as high as 50 miles, per hour lashed a downpour at Nashville, Tenn. - The northern snows stretched from Missouri into northern New York state today. They were blamed for the death of three women whose car was smashed by a streamliner dur ing a blinding Illinois snow storm. . Bad weather also hit in the West, whipping Cheyenne Wyo., with 52-mph winds and lashing the Pacific Northwest with a new storm. : Forecasters said the Western storm would send new rains in ever - increasing amounts along the Pacific coast from Washing ton to central California.
