REPO r 7 Err
souAwK CLUB
By The
KENNJEWICK COURIER

"Mr. Chairman, move that
,he Snuawk Club be dissolved as
~ now" Chorus: II second the
notion" The chairman was
forced to put the motion before
~ body andd the result was the
danedest mess of confusion any:
hody ever heard. Before the
eeccnd vice president with the
help of hastily called COON squad
could force through a motion to
.dio1,rn. the sound proofing on
the walls and ceiling of the base
ment meeting room had been COM
nletely worn off. To put it mild
e and in summary the argument
was something like this: Pro: "The
clubs fallen into a rut. All we
veil about any more is dogs and
traffic. If we can't get into some
thing bigger, let's call the whole
thing Off" Con: Maybe we are
in a rut-but if we are it's our
own fault. Certainly Kennewick
isn't so close to heaven yet that
We can't use our wide experience
to good advantage. There's bigger
and worse things. Let's get at
'em." The adjournment motion
carried a provision that the will
of the greatest majority would be
given consideration.

New Solution Said TO Arrest
Decay in Teeth of Children

CHICAGO. - The Journal of the
American Dental association advo-
Gated that all dentists apply diluted
solutions of sodium f1uoride to the
teeth of their child patients as a
means of diminishing tooth decay.
The magazine said that results
obtained from experimental studies
we're such that ''the use of topically
directly applied fiuorides by the
dentist now can be recommended
as a general decay preventive
measure"
In previous articles, investigators
reported decreases in the incidence
of tooth decay as high as 40 per
cent, following local applications of
f1uoride solutions to the teeth of chill
dren.
However, the magazine added,
present evidence indicated that the
treatment was not effective in pro-
tecting teeth of adults.
The magazine said editorially
that considerable work remained to
be done in determining frequency
of the applications and added that
home use of fuoride solutions may
not be without dangers"
The procedure calls for four mi
tial treatments for each tooth with
applications renewed on an annual
or semi-annual basis.

Say Gold Money
Will Come Back
Common Man Will Buy Metal
As Security Against
Upsets in Finance.

NEW YORK.-The common man
again will be able to buy gold to
treasure it against financial uncer-
tainties, according to a prediction
made at the world conference on
mineral resources by P. M. Ander-
son of johannesburg, South Africa.
About half the worlds gold is pro-
duced in South Africa, Anderson
said in explaining the present gold
situation. It's production, he pre-
dicted, will run about Is million fine
ounces annually until about 1852
and after that may decline.
For many years, he said, the
rate of expansion of world economic
activity and the production of gold
have moved very much in step.
There is a rhythm" he ex-
planned, Sin the production of gold
in its relation to the total gold avail
able and to the total economic ac-
tivity, which neither the ingenuity
of man nor the intervention of gov
ernments has prevented.
No Tampering.
This fact continues to commend
gold as a monetary medium that
cannot be tempered with, and is
indeed a much stronger reason for
its use than tradition OF mythical
faith in the metal, strong as that
is"
He also said: "E x p e T i e n C e
teaches the lesson that freedom of
enterprise and the use of gold are
closely related. Where there is little
room left for freedom of enterprise,
there is no left for gold;
where there is no gold there will
hardly be any freedom of enter
prise"
Anderson said the buying of gold
is reviving in Asia. There the trust
of the people in the yellow metal
has not diminished.
India, recovered from an econom-
ic depression, is certain to buy for
a long time to come.
China is on the point of becoming
a buyer of gold. The Middle East
will be able to acquire more gold.
Asia Gets Half.
If, said Anderson, governments
permit, the peoples of Asia will alb
serb close to half the world produc-
ton of gold. He predicted the other
half would 60 to peoples of the west
ern world because the mistrust of
fiat money is so strong among some
of them.
At present the world is using
about one-third of the world pro-
duction for the fine arts. That COM
pares with one-half for this purpose
up to the end of the 20s.
Anderson said he expected the
consumption for the arts would rise
again to one-half.
He did not predict a time scale
for any of the gold revival.
He said the United States now has
two-thirds of the worlds monetary
gold, Practically nothing is known,
he said, of Russia's probable gold
output, but there are estimates of a
Russian production of three million
and five million ounces a year.
