Finally the professor be- thought himself of a rem edy. He tore a full-page colored map of the United States out of the Sunday newspaper, care fully cut apart each state and told his son, "Now let me see you assemble the states properly." He figured he was home free for two hours at least, but the boy was back beaming in exactly five minutes with the states arranged in just the right order. "How did you do it so quickly?" marveled the professor. "It was easy," explained the boy. "There's a picture of Mickey Mantle on the back side of the map. I just put Mickey together." Rex Stout was week-ending recently In a Southern town where two prominent Democrats were seeking the nomination for mayor. The town was split about fifty-fifty and feelings were running high. "Who are you going to declare for?" Stout asked the editor. "I haven't decided yet," admitted the editor, "but when I do I'm going to be mighty bitter!" x "Every family," maintains John Toland, "should have three children.

Fluoridation of Water It is a sorrow when I hear from people who are sure they know much more about the care of children's teeth than does a man like Dr. Frederick J. Stare, who is Professor of Nutrition at Harvard Univer sity. My correspondents send me strange literature from un known men and ask me why I do not accept it. Whenever a question of public health comes up, naturally I in form myself about it. I always read the "violent literature" so as to learn why some people are objecting to a valuable measure which has been advocated by all of the great health organizations. No one seems to question the fact that the fluoridation of wa ter will cut in half the number of cavities in the teeth of a city's children. Then why object to it? A common argument I find is that fluorine is used as a rat poison. No one would deny that it is poisonous if taken in large doses. In Europe, ordi nary table salt in targe amounts was used by girls to commit suicide. But when a fluoride is taken in a dose of one or two parts in a million parts of water, it is perfectly harmless, as every chemist knows. Rights Said Invaded Many people object to fluori dation, saying that it invades their constitutional rights. Sev eral eminent state supreme court judges have decided that this is not true, and I read that our U.S. Supreme Court has five times dismissed the ap peals of the foes of fluoridation. Many people hate all health board regulations, hut tneir cnu dren have to be vaccinated if they are to go to certain schools, or if they are lo travel to foreign countries. Every health ordin ance can be construed by some of us as an invasion of our rights, but we must submit to such ordinances if we are to live safely in a civilized coun try. The opponents of fluoridation claim that in cities in which the water is treated, there is an extra amount of illness and death. Our federal experts on vital statistics have investigated this claim and found it to be false. I have read that both John F. Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisen hower have looked into this problem and have approved of fluoridation. It has been approv ed by all the great organiza STAR -Br CLAY ARIES y&j MAR. 22, M Your Doily Activity Ouidt M "I According fo tb Stan.

Many good sensible people have told me they have been confused by the fact that there are a few men with an "M.D." afier their names who have written against fluoridation. This makes people feel that there isn't any doubt among the experts of great health organiza tions. We must remember that we can find a few eccentrics and violent dissenters against things in any big group. I have read even of doctors who joined with the antivivisectlonists, as they struggled to close up the great research laboratories, where men are working day and night, searching for the cures for cancer and other ter rible diseases. Information Checked People who have read this column for the past 13 years must know that I never write anything until I have checked with recent articles by the abl est and best-informed men I know men who, because of their eminent position, have to know what they are talking about. Many of these men, like Professor Stare, I know person ally; I admire them, like them, and trust them. I do not take any information from tracts put out by wild-eyed "anti's," many of whom hate medicine and all its works, and have no standing in the scientific world. I should think puzzled people would be much Influenced by the fact that the dentists who stand to lose much money by the adoption of fluoridation are strongly in favor of it. If they did not know that fluoridation is a great boon to a city, and safe they certainly would oppose the ordinance. Worry, anger, resent m e n t, sorrow and mental strain can produce an ulcer.

WHIM TUB ACTION IS J.Rs WHITNEY OLDSMOBILE- 415 South Riverside Ave. DON'T Mil MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. Administration Recommends 6-2-2-2 Organization Plan A secondary school organiza tion which would provide three separate units was recommend ed by the administration of Med ford School District 549C to the Citizens' Committee on Educa tion last night. Under the plan, known as the 6-2-2-2 plan, elementary schools remain the same, that is the first through sixth grades, but the junior and senior high school grades are divided into three, rather than two group ings. The junior high school, under the 6-2-2-2 plans, would contain seventh and eighth grades; an intermediate unit would con tain the 9th and 10th grades, and the senior high school would house Uth and 12th graders. The district now oper ates under a 6-3-3 plan with two junior high schools and one senior high school. Calls for One Building Adoption of the 6-2-2-2 plan, administrators told the com mittee, would call for construc tion of . one secondary school plant to house grades 11 and 12. This plan, superintendent Dr. Leonard B. Mayfield said, could be initiated at this time better than it could at any other time. The school administration and staff could "provide a much more comprehensive and suit able educational program for all students involved in the three secondary levels," he noted. Administrators outlined in de tail aspects of the plan among which would be better school - community unity and support; better instruction, cur riculum and administration; better school atmosphere and social adjustment in the grades 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12 buildings; the student would have more opportunity for leadership and activities; Better guidance pro gram; fewer drop outs: better discipline; and a more appro priate social program. Dr. Mayfield pointed out that increasing enrollments dictate that some additional secondary school housing for students must be provided by 1966, and the receiving press notices of ap proval in newspapers through out the globe. "Still stands among the best choral groups now to be heard in our concert halls," the New York Times review stated.

WINNING) "OARRY OREGON opportunity for starting into the 6-2-2-2 plan now exists. sucn a plan, ne said, would not eliminate the possibility of reverting back to the 6-3-3 or ganization plan in the future should the need arise. The administration listed in detail the advantages of a 6-2-2-2 plan over other organizational type arrangements, f olio wine are some of the factors listed: The greatest curriculum advantage, administrators said, is in the variable "track" pro grams available. The five-track program now ottered includes (1) college advanced place ment, (2) the advanced, (3) the college preparatory, (4) regular and (5) the slow learner. These programs could be ex panded more economically un der the 2-2-2 secondary school organization. Greater use of teacher spe cialization, training and person al interest is possible in the 6-2-2-2 program. Administrators pointed out that improved instruction is pro vided in the classroom since teachers can better concentrate on the interest and aptitudes of two grade levels which are close to chronological age and gen eral student maturity. Larger enrollments at each grade level would allow for bet ter balance in class size, great er individualization of instruc tion through more effective grouping and greater provisions for slow learners and the col lege advanced placement. Under the 6-2-2-2 plan a richer offering of elective courses in sciences, ' foreign languages, business education and the fine and practical arts will be avail able, administrators noted. A better equipped and better staff ed library becomes a reality, a point particularly significant in handling the greater diver sity of courses offered in a more comprehensive program at each level. More Effective Supervision More effective supervision can be effected in the recom mended system with the con tinuation of secondary 'depart ment heads and supervisors to insure adequate communications and understanding of subject area scope and sequence. Coordination of all secon dary schools in areas of admin istration, curriculum and guid ance is more easily accomplish ed with a 2-2-2 system, admin istrators noted. These areas would be inclu sive of school philosophy, tra ditions, operational policy, sub ject matter continuity, grouping, grading, orientation, records, testing, personal and group counseling and related matters. 290 h.p. Drive an F-85 that Oldsmobile tor b4 is where the action isl MOOR! HOW" TUMOAY s The grouping of all grade ninth students in a single sec ondary school would provide significant instructional advan tages. Students at this grade level, administrators noted, be gin developing their aptitudes and interests within the pro gram of electives. Elective Offerings In a regular junior high or ganization, an extensive elec tive offering may not be avail able because of inadequate fa cilities or an insufficient num ber of students. The 2-2 plan would provide a greater special ization in caring for individual differences, as well as securing a much wider range of course offerings, administrators point ed out. An improved school atmos phere would result in each of the 2-2 units of the high school plan. Administrators pointed out ex tremes of social and physical maturation evident in a three or four-year .high school would be lessened and improved. Bringing the 9th and 10th grade students together should result in providing a more acceptable social climate with increased opportunity for social contacts, leadership opportunities and large group activities. The holding power of all students with subsequently few er student drop outs will be sig nificant. At all secondary school levels. administrators noted , greater student opportunities for lead ership and followership in per sonally significant activities will exist. Students in the 2-2-2 plan also should experience more positive opportunities for cre ative self-expression. The guidance program in a 2-2-2 arrangement should be enhanced in that interests, as pirations and social expecta tions are more compatible. The guidance and counseling pro gram also will simplify and ease the adjustment of students as they move to each secondary school level. A continuing and increased emphasis on guidance and the personalization of instruction will insure that the individual will not lose his identity as a result of attending three ratti er than two secondary schools. Problems Minimized Discipline problems will be minimized under the 6-2-2-2 plan, administrators noted, since student grade levels are more comparable as to chronological age and social maturity.
