Fluoridation Value
Noted in Research
Corvalii - More dramatic
evidence of the value of water
fluoridation in preventing
tooth decay has come from an
Oregon State college dental
health study of Corvallls and
Philomath school children.
Pronounced reductions in
tooth decay are credited to
fluoride, which was added to
the Corvallis-Philomath water
supply starting in 1953.
The research findings are
in keeping with a long-term
fluoride studies made else
where in the U. S. and Can
ada, Addition of fluoride to
water supplies has brought re
ductions In tooth decay of

from 47 to 65 per cent in ev
ery case.
Two western regional stud
ies reported last and this sum
mer by OSC showed that ben
eficial amounts of fluoride in
water supplies reduced tooth
decay as much as 55 per cent
among boys and girls from
10 to 18 in Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho, Montana, Utah
and Wyoming.
In the current Corvallis-
Philomath study, dental rec
ords of native born and rear
ed children, ages 5 to 12, were
compared on a before and
after fluoridation" basis. Care
ful dental checks had been
made of children in this age
group just before fluoridation
was initiated seven years ago
in the water supply that
serves the two communities.
Findings from these checks
were then measured against
results of examinations made
this winter on more than
1,200 children now in the
same age bracket.
Significant Reductions
Significant reductions in
the number of cavities and
other tooth problems were
found in every age this year
compared to the poor records
of 1953.
Furthermore, a d d i tional
benefits are yet to come, ac
cording to Dr. Gertrude Tank,
because full value of water
fluoridation on the teeth of
children is not realized before
10 or 12 years - the time it
takes a permanent tooth to
develop.
Dr. Tank, a children's den
tist in Germany and Phila
delphia before coming to OSC
as a dental scientist, is in
charge of the project. Dr.
Demetrios M. Hadjimarkos,
now on the University of Ore
gon dental school staff in
Portland, made the 1952 ex
aminations of children prior
to addition of fluoride in the
water supply.
Safeway Bids on
Junior High Site
Ashland - The Ashland
school board this week re
ceived a bid of $75,000 cash
from Safeway Stores, Inc., for
the old junior high school
property on Siskiyou blvd.
Safeway was the only bidder.
The board took the bid un
der advisement, and said it
would reach its decision at a
special meeting at 7:30 p.m.
Monday.
Safeway's bid, accompanied
by a $1,000 check, calls for
all buildings on the site to be

build a super market on the
portion of the land along the
boulevard and that a shop
ping center would be con
structed on the remainder.
Tentative plans call for about
six stores other than Safeway
as well as an off-street park

Capitol Memo
Interim Education
Committee Finds
Schools Wanting
By DOUGLAS GRIPP
Salem UW - Some public
grade schools In Oregon are
nothing more than nurseries.
Some large high schools in
the state are stereotyped.
They don't adapt to changing
needs and conditions,
And it seems almost unrea
sonable to continue advanced
mathematics, science and for
eign language classes in some
small Oregon high schools be
cause enrollment is so small.
These stinging conclusions
are contained .In two reports
to the Legislative Interim
committee on Education from
the University of Oregon's
Bureau of Educational Re
search. The reports, requested by
the committee, said the in
vestigation involved so many
minuses and pluses that a
general rating for Oregon's
public schools was impossi
ble. Different Levels
Speaking of grade schools,
the report states it would be
"totally unrealistic to claim
that all of the larger schools
provide broad, well-rounded
and complete educational
prosrams and that all of the
smaller schools provide only
minimum programs."
The researchers found that
"different communities have
different levels of expecta
tion for the performance of
their schools."
"In some communities it is
apparent that the elementary
school is little, if any better
than a day-care custodial in
stitution - and probably docs
a very poor job of it," the re
port says.
In contrast it was found
that in other communities,
large and small, "every effort
is being made within the lim
itations of the resources
available to provide a broad,
rich and purposive education
program for the children,"
No specific communities or
schools were named.
Poor use of Teachers
The secondary report says
that in certain small high
schools, "enrollments in ad
vanced mathematics, science,
foreign language and even vo
cational areas are so small
that one wonders if the at
tempt to maintain them is
reasonable," These smaller
secondary schools make
"very poor" use of teachers,
the report said.
Evaluation Recommended
The report concludes:
"It is difficult, if not im
possible, to determine a sin
gle level of breadth or of
quality in the secondary
schools of the state.
The best is probably as
good as exists in almost any
part of the country. The poor
est is probably as bad . . .
Change and adaptability,
can probably not be legislat
ed, but it can be encourged
- and the encouragement of
credit cards accepted
Improvement Is a constani re
sponsibility of the state.
A detailed evaluation of all,
aspects of Oregon's high
school program was recom
mended. The elementary report says
one of Its most Important
findings is a strong link be
tween high-quality teachers
and staff and a high-quality
educational program. This
runs to rapport with school
boards, general morale in the
school and educating the
community on the need for
allocating sufficient funds
for schools.
Married Couples
At OSC Will Have
No House Problem
Corvallis - Married couples
who plan lo attend OrcRon
State collece this fall will
have no difficulty In finding
satisfactory housing In Cor
vallis, according to the office
of the dean of men.
Apartments are gradually
filling up now for this fall,
but the couples who do their
apartment hunting In July or
early August will get their
choice.
In addition, Oregon State
college will have ample room
for all freshmen, sophomores,
juniors and seniors who wish
to live in dormitories thus
fall. There is no critical
housing shortage for single
students on campus or in
town.
OSC can house more than
3,000 students in nn-campus
residence halls. And an addi
tional 1.6S0 men and 760
women can be housed in the
31 fraternities and 16 sorori
ties near the campus.
Apartment rents vary from
$55 to S90 a month. Apart
ments rented for some time
average about $60 a month.
Newer apartments rent from
$75 up for a one-bedroom and
from $80 to $90 for two bed
rooms.
The dean of men's office
reports there is little differ
ence on the rent charges be
tween furnished and unfur
nished older apartments.
Charges on all usually include
water and garbage collection.
Occupants pay for electricity
or gas or oil for light, heat
or cooking.
Couples with children will
experience a "little more" dif
ficulty in finding an apart
ment, officials said. Some
1,600 married couples live in
Corvallis housing while at
tending Oregon State. Anoth
er 900 single men live in off
campus rooms in Corvallis
homes.
An adequate number of
rooms for under graduate
men and graduate men and
women are available in Cor
vallis. Batching apartments
are "somewhat scarce," but
there is ample places to board.
Ferry From Venice
Of Hydrofoil Design
Venice, Italy - (Sc. 1 e n e I
Service) - A new type of ferry
-using a hydrofoil hull - has
just been put into service be
tween Venice and Trieste,
across 80 miles of sea. The
ferry, "Freccla dell' Adrl-
atlco," built by Leopoldo
Rodriquez at Messina, is a
new departure in past passenger-carrying
ships.
Operated by the Societa
Aliscafi, the ferry operates on
a twice -daily run in each
direction. The vessel is equip
ped with a 1,500 horsepower
Mercedes motor. The power
developed is such that the
ferry rises out of 'the water
within a few yards of "take
off" and proceeds to skim the
surface on the hydrofoils at
an average speed of 40 to 45
knots, there being a clear
space of about 24 Inches be
tween the hull and the surface I
of the water.
She carries' 76 passengers
in comfortable alrcrnft-typc
seats, and covers each 80-mile
trip in a scheduled two hours.
Although the new service
has only been in operation
for a few weeks, Its success
has already brought contracts
for similar Italian-built hydro
foils for ferry service In Nor
way and Finland.
