Russians Develop
Heated Wallpaper
Moscow -flJPD-Soviet scien
tists say they have developed
a wallpaper that can heat a
house.
The wallpaper, already in
use at the Institute of Chem
ical Technology in Moscow
where it was developed, is
composed of three layers of
rubber-like synthetic material-
The middle layer is a con
ductor and when current is
passed through it can heat the
fabric to 104 degrees, accord
ing to the Industrial Econ
omic Gazette.
The Gazette said the cover
ing also may eventually be
used to heat railway cars, au
tomobiles and planes.

Coquille Fluoridation of
Coquille's drinking water has
achieved a dramatic decline in
tooth decay of children here
since it was adopted nearly
five years ago, it was indi
cated this week at the City
Council meeting in a report
from the state board of health.
Dr. David W. Witter, head
of the board's dental division,
cited data showing that decay
has been reduced by about 20
per cent at the six-year-old
level.
The optimum effect two
thirds less decay takes about
10 years to achieve, he said.
But the dentist added that de
sired results are becoming ap
parent faster than expected,
often after two years of fluor
idation. The dentist's report was
based on a survey of Coquille
elementary children made in
January.

Smith of the West Side road

son, Arthur, from Milo Academy.
"The survey shows that
something happened that
makes Coquille children dif
ferent from, say, Bandon
children or the average child
living in a community having
a fluoride-deficient water sup
ply," he -declared.

Mitchell Raps
Hoffa's Threat
LosAngeles -flJPD- Secretary
of Labor James T. Mitchell
said Wednesday that teamster
President James R. Hoffa's
threat of a nationwide strike
"is one of the most arrogant
and brazen statements I've
ever heard."
Mitchell commented at a
press conference on Hoffa's
threat to combat a union anti
trust proposal with the strike.
"In effect, Hoffa is threat
ening the Congress of the
United States - that if Con
gress doesn't do what he
wants he will call a nation
wide strike," Mitchell said.
"I think George Meany's
approach is the correct one,"
Mitchell said. "Mr. Meany
says that if Congress passes
legislation which the AFL
CIO does not agree with, then
the AFL-CIO will try through
legal means to correct the
legislation.
Hoffa's method is ( the
method of a revolutionary."
drinking supply - Coos Bay,
North Bend, Charleston, Em
pire, and Coquille.)
Dr. Witter made these state
ments: - C6mpared to children in
fluoride-deficient areas, Co
quille's children have less
tooth decay, have more of
their total dental problems i
cared for.
An average of three teeth
have been saved so far at the
16-year-old level.
- By the time six-year-old-ers
are 16, they will show
about a 50 per cent decline in
decayed, missing, and filled
teeth.
- Fluoridation apparently
helps adults, too. ,
No harmful effects have
been observed from proper
fluoridation.
A Coquille dentist in the
audience said he has observed
a marked decline in tooth de
cay since introduction of fluor
ides in Coquille.
The city engineer said the
cost of fluoridation was about
eight cents per capita a year,
lower than most cities. "
