HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, lOBt PACE EIGHT Watermen, Officials Eye mm U m - A City V ater fluoridation ,-vnvDuit I i iim rt rfrlnlrlnff u-nter rnntnlninff ., niVH lTH'nKRIIIl.L Several days ao water works operators o( tiie Klamath area at tended a conference at the cham ber of commerce, that, to the gen eral public, would have been rath er dry. But eventually. If someone Marls thlnas rollmK In this town, one subject discussed during the Oregon stale board of health con ference will beneficially affect Klamath Falls people, particularly the children. The sublect In question was, "Me rhanlcnl Supplementation ot Pub lic Water Supplies." To those of you like this report er, who barely managed to scrape through high school blolouy, the Impressive title means addition of a chemical to your drlnklnj wa ter to prevent tooth decay, particu larly In children. It Is not a new thing, tills fluoride supplemental Ion. Dental and medical men have been watching its progress for 10 years or more. Klamath county dentists are behind the project, and anxious to see It started here in Klamath Falls. . But, either the wheels of pro press are slow in starting, or pub lic officials are a little wary ot giving them a push In that direc- Uln a booklet entitled "Rfgulations lor Fluoride Supplementation of Public Water Supplies." The Ore gon state board of health gives a short history of the fluoridation movement. ...... We will try to give a short but accurate summary of it. "Since 1905 It has been known that fluorine was a minor consti tuent of tooth enamel. In 1931 It was discovered that in communi ties where the public watct sup ply contained several parts of lluorine per million parts of wa ter, many of the people had dental delects called mottled enamel, chalky white spots or brown stains. These effects were noted only among people who had used thi fluorlde-bjaring water during cniU hood when teeth were being formed. Experimentation showed that the tafe limit for amount of fluoride In water without causing mottled enamel was 1.3 parts per million. The board of health booklet con tinues that it is possible, through use of drinking water containing I., .nw. imnimt nf flnnHrii tA protect children Irom dental decay without the disfiguration of fluo osis mottled teeth. It Is slated further, that thero Is no indication that presence ot fluorides In water affect adult teeth, but It Is evident Uiat benelits ac quired during the period of tooth formation carry through an Indi vidual's lifetime. Further studies by supplementa tion of fluorine in public water supplies indicated that mechanical addition of fluorine to water results in protection of children's teeth ui the same degree as when the fluor ine occurs naturally in the water. Indications arc that addition ol fluorine in public water supplies has reduced dental cavities ui children's teeth about 70 percent. One might think, from Inat ob servation, that dentis's generally 1 would be ajrainst the project through loss of business. But that is not the cafe. To corn a phrase, dentists, par ticularly here in Klamath Falls, are chomping their molars to get the project underway, accepted by public officials and the public in general. A survey from the American r.-i ai!v In nhirnim states 9 more than 100 cities and villages throughout the United States are adding fluorides to their water supplies. In Oregon, Gearhart is the only community which has adopted the process since approval was ex pressed by Oregon dental, medical and henlth organizations. 1 In Klamath Falls city olllcials have made preliminary survey of the undertaking, but at present are not willing to express public favor of disfavor. Oregon Water Corp. has made a technical study of the project for Klamath Falls. But company offi cials feel It is not their part to get the tiling started. So apparently is is up to the dental, medical and health organi zations here to convince the pub lic to convince their official repre-; sentatives that they would like to see their children rid of dental de cay, at least 70 percent so. A following article will explain how the project can be established here. i i,v r h .xv. . n-i i mm m lidiil n atmi IX rr& 1 LA Yl MA"! , I a a iatsiisiitisessttat4 I i H I n a i a a a a a aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a HORMEL PIG HIT 14 ot.

B.C.. Ui Reuben Lyles Irby, Sumter county Jailer, has been indicted on charges of beating torturing and otherwise violating the civil rights of 15 ol . his prisoners. The 16-count Indictment, returned by a federal grand Jury, charged the alleged cruelties extended from November, 1948. to March 1951. The grand jury heard testimony lrom 31 witnesses, some of whom had been prisoners In the Sumter jail. The indictment charged that Irby 'coerced" a woman prisoner tntrt spunl intercourse, later giv ing her drugs "which caused her to sustain an abortion." Other charges alleged that Irb7 hung one prisoner from the ceiling by his feet: that he handcuffed the hands and feet of women pris oners to a chair while he beat them with a strap, and then forced other prisoners to pour . "hot liniment" on the "beaten por tion" of their bodies, and that he handcuffed a prisoner to Cell bars and left him standing for several hours. U.S. Dist. Atty. Ben Scott Wha lcy said he expects Irby will be tried here at the February. 1952. term of district court. The charges carry maximum penalty of one year In. jail and $1000 fine on each count.
