All Issues in Seattle

ton is the hottest issue in mex
Tuesdays municipal election
dwarfing even a torrid mayoralty
race in the public eye.
The fight has split Seattle into
antagonistic camps. Wary can.
didates shy clear Of it.
The Seattle Council Of Parents
and Teachers is backing fluorida.
tion Of the city's water supply
But in every PTA meeting there
are mothers who pass out anti
duoridation literature.
Opponents question that fiuori-
dation will make children's teeth
more decay resistant. They want
to know what possible long-range
effect the chemical might have
on adults.
Endorsed by Doctors.
They say sodium fiuoride Is
poison. Proponents reply this
could not possibly be so in the
proposed proportion Of one part to
q million parts of water.
The board of trustees of the
King County Medical Society ap-
proved fuoridation, but, it added
quickly. it did not presume to
speak Of individual members.
Fluoridation is mass medical
tion," opponents argue. It de-
prives you of freedom of choice.
You can't take it or leave it. You
have to take it.
The Seattle Committee for Flu
oridation replied: "Fluorides are
a preventive measure, not a treat
ment or medication"
In support of this stand, the
committee quotes DR.. Bruce D.
ForSythe, chief dental officer of
the United States Public Health
Service. Christian Scientists were
quick to oppose the proposal. The
question of religious freedom has
been injected into the squabble.
Religious Angle Denied.
Pro-f1uoridation forces insist
sodium fluoride is not q medicine
when added to the city water
supply in the proportion planned.
Therefore, they say, no religious
rights will be trammeled.
Christian Scientists do not fight
alone. Robert Keller, chairman
of the Anti-Fluoridation Commit
tee, is an Episcopalian. Other
anti-f1uoridation arguments spring
from persons who habituaIly eat
so-called health foods" Fluori-
dation, they said, would take away
their freedom Of choice.
Cost Of the program, the city
water department estimated,
would be about 1854 900 annually,
or 80 cents per person per year.
Kenneth B. Edgers.. president
Of the Seattle District Dental
Society, summed up the attitude
of Seattle dentists. He said:
"The scientific facts are that
fluoridation is a cheap, safe and
simple way to cut Seattle's tragic
dental decay rate in half over q
period Of years. It has the in
dorsement Of top-level scientific
organizations. and more than 200
American cities have adopted the
measure"

What Made Abraham Lincoln
Great?' This was the theme of al
address by the Rev. Daniel Pritch.
ara before the Harrington Rotary
Club, Tuesday evening.
There is nothing new to be said
about Lincoln" said the speaker
because everything that can be
said has been said-but surely
! there must be some secret of his
greatness, something undiscovered
by others. Here was a man who had
less than one year of schooling and
who, by his own admission, picked
up what little education he had
under the pressure of necessity
Environment and circumstances de-
creed that his destiny would be
that of an obscure. and even un-
known man.
His humility, / believe, tended
to make him great-nOt a preten-
sion Of humility, but real humility.
When one pretends to be humble.
he emphasizes that characteristic
so much that he takes the opposite
course and uncOnsciOusly begins to
swagger. other characteristics
contributed to his greatness: He
was called Honest Abe not with
out reason, for his was an IN
swerving honesty; his sincerity
on all OccasiOns-and hard work
His father taught him how to work
but could not teach him TO love
work. That love of hard work Lin
coin taught himself.
His study of the Bible-and his
knowledge Of the Bible threads its
way through all the course of his
life-contributed much to his great
ness. Lincoln had a deep and abid-
ing faith in God. His Justice and
His mercy"
Louis Hobbs, a gunner in the
Air Force with many missions in
the Korean area, and but recently
returned home, gave much interest
ing information about conditions
in the battle zone.

Problems TODAY

You are right to continue con-
tributions Of food and clothing for
the child, but a prolonged cor
respondence, under the circum-
stances, Is not wise. Your al
legiance now is due your present
wife. and anything from the past
that infringes on her happiness
should be shelved.
Your major trouble is that you
are a daydreamer rather than q
practical person and are actually
reliving the past with more ro-
nance and sentimentality than
you experienced in actuality. It is
unfair to your wife to continue re-
minding her of the past, though
she has certainly shown remark
able charity in her acceptance of
1t. $
Why not turn over to her the
job Of sending packages, while
you learn to put the entire
episode out Of your mind? To some
extent, this may seem cruel advice.
but 1t Is the fairest way in view of
your present responsibilities to
your wife and family.

solutions to offer. Problems along

WonderBoy
BY EIeni

About 10 years ago Henry
Rosenfeld got an idea for which
since then, any number Of wom-
en- throughout the world have
thanked him.
He was going to give women
OF all age groups fine. interesting
and decidedly high fashion styling
at prices they could afford. He
set out to prove that Seventh
Avenue could produce a trim
neat dress in a good fabric at q
budget price. No longer would q
modestly priced dress shrek its
low cost by being burdened with
excess frills and cheap looking
detailing.
To put it mildly he's been a
bowling success. So much so that
Seventh Avenue continues to call
him its wonder boy"
For the women who've never
had a chance to meet him, he
will be in Washington tomorrow
appearing at a local department
store. Not only will the latest
collection be shown but Mr..
Rosenfeld will also speak on the
new miracle fabrics that he makes
a point of using. The showings
are scheduled for 2::30 and $50
in the evening.
Call ST. 5000, Ext. 395. for fur
ther information.
