Editor, The Citizen
There is somebody laughing from
the grave tonight. If it isn't the
poet Shakespeare reading his Much
Ado About Nothing, it must be
Plato or Confucius or one of the
boys from that ancient Era of
Thought amused by manity's
waggish ability to complicate it.
self. The laughter is Enthusiastically
clear, ringing, re-echoing as fluori-
dalton writes a footnote to history.
What fools these mortals be-"
they say, Ito rant about a sleeping
elephant while lowly vermin
chomp and devour them"
Polio, cancer, TB - almost any
disease we can name so generous
ly outweighs dental carries as to
make the subject of fuoridating
water ludicrous by comparison.
The poets laughter does not ridi-
cule the citizens of Key West and
their concern with fluoridation.
They are amused, rather, by the
impairment and all-glorious min
ority experts" who decree self
proclaimed leadership, who decree
the general public as being stupid,
and by cause of this assumption
forcing a city to embarrass itself
by voting" whether they should
be experimental upon or not!
Any referendum asking people to
CHOOSE or reject" fluoridation is
a misnomer. A referendum of this
nature asks US if we wish to as
sumo a role Of guinea pigs - be-
yond our qualification, actually,
and committing US unfairly be-
cause in American this choice
should never have to put before US.
There Is, now, no alternative. We
have been forced to petition for re-
ferendum.
The U. S. Public Health Service
has not - and possibly cannot -
give conclusive answer to there be-
ing no danger of toxicity. Fluori-
dation is an admitted experiment,
regardless of who approves" of
it. Experiment in the laboratories,
not on people! The Health Service
has gone beyond the scope of its
duties in entering the propaganda
field, endangering not only people
but its own effectiveness and the
confidence of the people. These
expert" should concern themsel-
yes with good, proven health mea-
sures and the prevention of disease.
No more.
1t is the dire obligation of Key
West voters to vote against fluori-
dalton.

This Rock
Of Ours

Funny how we can spend our
lives in a town and never notice
little things that prove so confusing
to newcomers!
A lady called me the other day
and wanted to know what cooks
with regard to the No Parking
signs around the Monroe County
Courthouse. Every space had a No
Parking sign yet every space was
occupied by an automobile!
The lady wasn't exactly a new
conner to Key West. She has been
here for close to ten years but only
recently had occasion to visit the
courthouse. Here's the expla-
nation that I gave her-it may not
be the truth but I couldn't think of
any other reason to offer.
/ told her that I guessed the No
Parking spots were actually re-
served locations for officials and
employees of the courthouse and
YMCA-USO-C Chamber of Commerce
building. She countered with the
question of why, it wouldn't have
been just as easy to erect signs
marked "Space Reserved For
So-and-So." That couldn't answ-
er.
County Commissioners might
consider the idea of changing the
signs and reserving the space for
necessary employees. I think it
would be good move and certain
ly, it might clarity the situation
for tourists or visiting sailors.

Aid From Mrs. Reese Of Sears

Political circles are buzzing with
rumors that the reason the State
Road Department wants the Over
seas Highway Commission to join
their suit for recovering allegedly
misspent funds, is that they can
stick them with a bill for a share
of the cost of the suit.
All of which has prompted
speculation as to who is going to
pay the bill. With an unpaid bill
for an audit of toll road affairs
already in Tallahassee, Charley
Johns will soon have enough tabs
to paper his walls.
It's SRD chairman Cecil Webb
who is calling the signals in the
case after Johns turned a deaf
ear to a plea that he appoint a
special prosecutor for the suit.
ALI of this would lead one to be-
lieve that the Acting Governor
tacitly disapproves of the actions
of Mr.. Webb.

Why Not InitiaIs7
I'M ISL.


Editor, The Citizen:
A newspaper columnist, to be
worth his salt, must be allowed
to inject into his writings a large
amount of innuendo and personal
ity. Otherwise, something falls
flat. 1t takes hard work and
diligence to write a successful
column, matter most conscien-
tious editors realize. Even a part
time columnist. So The Key West
Citizen is to be commended in
allowing this recognition and free
dom of thought on the part of
their columnists.
Mr.. Bill Spillman's column
Sept. 18th shows the handiwork
of his particular personality. He
strikes at anonymous letters to
the Forum, which is irrelevant be-
cause The Citizen doesn't print
anonymous letters. So we assume,
as he says, he means the Age of
Initials.
Haunting q name repeatedly be-
fore the public, as the Forum
could do, has the disadvantage,
intentional or not, of Boosting.
Anonymity minimizes this. 1t calls
the reader to what is being writ
ten, not to who wrote it. This is
the purpose, or should be, of any
Forum letter, name withheld or
not.
So I am curious as to why Mr..
Spillman went on at length about
the sad virtues of a particular set
of initials. This is lethal. This
is grouping all anonymous writ
ers and placing numerous people
under suspicion of not being able
to tolerate landlords. For my part,
I personally wish the fact known
get along with my landlord very
well.
But what Of this particular per-
son Mr.. Spillman refers to? The
one he states or infers to be un-
civic minded, etc. How far did
Mr.. Spillman check to get his
facts-the backyard fence?, Did
he contact the person directly? l
happen to know the person he re-
fers to, and altho' the columnist
had ample opportunity to contact
the person directly, there was no
attempt to do this.
But surely he must realize
that set Of initials is
not anonymous at all. There are
neighbors and good friends and
business acquaintance and there
are children that 60 to school and
unfairly are committed to the
consequences of this gossip-be-
cause these initials have dared to
call the hand of injustice, and
were unfairly, mercilessly beaten
down!
Check your facts, Mr.. Spillman
-or are you afraid to?

WOODS HOLE, Mass. Up - Here
in the laboratory of a Nobel Prize
winner you see a piece of dead
rabbit muscle brought back to
'life."
The strand of muscle lenses, con-
tracts and performs work when it
is bathed in potent chemical.
Then it relaxes when it is touched
by second chemical.
This means man has solved a
few secrets of how our muscles
work, of how all living things
manage to create motion.
But this seeming miracle in the
laboratory is only a beginning to
DR.. Albert G. Szent-Gyorgyi. He
wants to know precisely how chem
icals - from the food we eat and
air we breathe - create motion,
''the most fundamental sign of
life"
Exactly what kind of engine is
muscle tissue? What kind of fuel
does it use, and how?' How do diff
ferent muscles the muscles of
the heart, the arms, or wom-
ans womb - differ in their me-
chanism or operation?
That knowledge could aid in
combating heart disease, high
blood pressure, muscular afflic-
tons, perhaps reduce the tragic
loss Of unborn babies through mis-
carriages.
This Hungarian-born scientist
with blue eyes and tousled white
hair, who won a Nobel Prize for
his work on vitamin C, is on the
trial of answers.
And DR.. Szent-Gyorgyi is impa-
tent to get along with his studies
so much so he's just ordered a
$40, 900 scientific instrument, a
spectrograph, without enoug h
funds to pay for it.
MAYBE will 60 to JAIL" he
shrugs, "but 1 need it in my work.
Somehow l hope we will find ways
to pay for it."
In Is years of research on the
muscle engine, DR.. Scent Gyorgyi
found that muscles contract be-
cause they contain two special
proteins, actin and myosin. When
these two come together in the
presence of the energy-supplying
engine, ATP, the muscle con-
tracts.
ATP means adenosine triphos-
plate. It is the gasoline" which
runs the muscle engine. Engines
are accelerators of chemical re-
actions.
DR.. SCENT yorgyi and DR.. l..
Lorand of Szent-Gyorgyi's group
also have isolated another engine,
ATP-CP, which makes a muscle
relax.
From a refrigerator, DR.. Lorand
took thin, transparent strand of
muscle obtained from a long-dead
rabbit, and placed it in a beaker
container a salt solution. It lay
long and straight. When a few
drops of ATP were added, the
string of muscle coiled and short
ened to one-fifth its original size.
He put another, thicker strand of
muscle in a device so the muscle
remained taut, but could pull on
one end of a delicately balanced
lever. When the muscle was bathed
in ATP, it tensed, pulling measur-
ably on the lever. When ATP-CP
Twas added, the muscle relaxed,
THE lever swung back to its orig
Iinal position.
