In other business conducted at
the meeting, it was pointed out
that it was an error in assuming
that the JayCees had made the
traffic suggestion printed in the
form of a letter last week.

However, it was agreed that the
method of the letters presenta-
ton to the JayCee members by
Billy Whitehead could have been
easily mistaken as a committee
report.
It was also pointed out that the
recommendations listed in the
letter had already been passed
by the City Commission some
time ago but no apparent action
had been taken.

There was also report he had

Italy's Elder Statesman Dies

SELLA VAL SUGANA. Italy Up
Alcide de Gasperi, the lean old
statesman who led Italy out of
postwar chaos and onto the path
of democracy, died today of a
heart attack.
Death came to the former Pre-
mier as he rested here in his north
Italy mountain retreat, far from
Rome and the political wars in
which he had battled without res
pite for nearly a decade.
His passing robbed the cause
of European union of one of its
S aunc h supporters. Italy's
struggle against communism lost
one of its hardest fighters.
Although it was known the 49,
year-old leaders health was fail
ing, there had been no public hint

he was seriously i'll. Only after his
death was it revealed that he had
suffered a heart attack a week
ago. His condition was not consid-
cred serious until Tuesday, when
the heart pains became more in
tense.
He suffered another attack at
2 am. today and died an hour
later after still another seizure.
His family was at his bedside.
De GaSperi had stepped down
from the titular leadership of his
pro Western, middle of-the-road
Christian Democrat party-Italy's
largest-a little more than a month
ago.

Harold Laubscher, of the Cham

The Chamber secretary brought
with him a kit prepared by the
organization for the use of the new
teachers with information on the
various organizations and facilities
in the city.
The chairman of the County

pressed his pleasure at addressing

JAYCEES HEAR

Douglass stated that he did not be-
lieve adequate test had been con-
Quoted to determine the proper
amount. He cited statements of the
proponents of fluoride measure as
being vague on the proper amounts
to be used.
He said they stated that nuoride
should not be added to the water
in amounts that will make teeth
turn yellow. ''Then how much
should be added?" he asked. 1.-THE
people who are in favor of the pro-
posal say that amounts should be
varied with varied conditions Of
climate, humidity, and tempera-
ture."
Douglass added that from the
literature he had seen, he could
not find set rules for set amounts.
On the legality question, Douglass
cited the ruling of a Louisiana cir
cult court Judge who had granted
an injunction against fluoridation
of water supply. In the injunction
Douglass said, Judge Galloway is
sued thirteen page statement
stating that the city council has
no delegated authority to fluorid-
ate the water supply.
Caution Urged
Douglass cited that the Delaney
committee (congressionalD in 1852
made recommendations for COM
inunitieS to 60 slow in the intro
auctions OF putting fluoride in the
water.
Douglass stated that he was
shocked at the statements made in
the newspaper article reporting
on DIR. Cobo'S speech to the pre-
viouS Jaycee meeting.
He also stated DR.. Morris has no
breakdown of statistics of the Key
West cavity situation.
Douglass, on stating the uni
versity's findings about the Ari-
IONA town where fluoride is in
the water naturally, said that the
teeth observed were yellow and
that cavities were hard to repair
Filings dropped out of teeth
cavities once started, spread rap
idly and in some cases the loss
Of the tooth was noted.
Question Period
In the question and answer
period following the talk, Doug
lass was asked would there be
any difference whether sodium
fluoride or calcium fluoride was
used.
Douglass answered. mo" He
said that the "fluoride ion" was
the primary element.
Douglass was informed by one
member of the audience that he
had used the word "only" "a per
cent of the children of the Ari-
IONA town were free from dental
decay. He was asked how this
percentage compared with towns
where no fluoride was in the wa
ter. Douglass said that he did
not know because he had not
been able to find any informa-
ton on a possible comparison.
Douglass stated that he was in
favor of giving children fluorine
treatment to teeth by dentist, but
not by the water supply.
Congressional Study
It was stated at the meeting
that the secretary of the Cham
Der of Commerce had just re-
ceived lengthy testimony from a
congressional study of the flucr-
ide question.
Douglass stated that he receiv-
ed his chemical degree from
Cornell University. He retired in
