On September 11th, the wife of a naval officer

their children.
My sympathy aroused by Mrs. E. Currie's let
ter in last nights Peoples Forum. How could help her
her urgent need for the treatment her teeth and
those of her children?
Dr. Arthur B. MacW Whnne, of Seattle, has been pre-
scrbing fuorde without charge to his regular patients
who believed, he does that fluordes will reduce

to be quick dissolvng tablet containing milgram of
sodium fluoride which be added to glass of any

This morning, the writer discussed the availability
of this and similar products with four of the five local
pharmacies. Strangely enough not one knew about
them but all expressed great interest and the desire
have stock for dispensing prescription by the local
dentists.
Mrs Currie and other Key Westers need not wait
for the approval of fuordaton by the city county and

Police Seek

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. R-While
police sought a frenzied slayer,
funeral services were scheduled to.
day for 4-year-old Stephen Gold
berg, who died with his pretty
teen-age sitter Saturday night in
a savage knife assault.
Friends of slain Lynn Ann
Smith, IA, were questioned by au-
thorities yesterday on the theory
she and the Goldberg youngster,
son of a well-to-do wholesale meat
dealer, might have been stabbed
to death by someone who knew
the young sitter.
Medical examiner w. AR.
Chaplin said there was no evidence
that Miss Smith had been attacked
sexually. A torn fingernail and a
wrist bruise indicated the teen
ager battled franticauy with her
aSsailant.
Both Miss Smith and young
Goldberg were stabbed about 20
times in the back and cut about
the chest, Chaplin said, adding:
ut sounds like a crazy mans
work. Only a maniac would do a
thing like this"
The bodies of the two victims
were found by the slain young.
.Ster's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ber-
nard Goldberg, when they returned
from a night out. Stephens 6-year-
old brother, Robert, slept unharm-
ed in rear bedroom.
Police, who ruled out robbery
as a possible motive, said their
one tangible clue is a girls hat
found on the Goldberg's front side
walk. They questioned several girls
in an attempt to establish owner
ship.

MORE QUESTIONS

Editor, The Citizen:
l request that this letter be
published in the peoples forum
pursuant to Mr.. Jim Cobb's biased
handling of the fluoridation
question.
Mr.. Cobb takes the cynical
attitude that fluoridatiop S fine,
he says so.The aluminium industry
says so. Fluorine, the kind used
in artificial fluoridation, is a by
product of aluminium. If the
aluminium industry can sell their
sludge, why throw it away? Then
he goes on to say that our doctors
say it is alright to add fluorine to
the water, so why should we say
otherwise. 1t has been proven
that he put words in the doctors
mouths, they had to issue a state
ment to the press refuting what
he printed. The average doctor
and dentist has not made an in
tensive study of fluoridation be-
cause they have their own private
practices and we know that they
are kept more than busy at it.
But there are many many other
doctors, dentists, and chemists
(even outside of Mr.. Douglass)
who have been interested in the
fluoridation problem in all its
phases, good and bad, and have
come to the conclusion that arti-
ficial nuoridation isn't what it s
cracked up to be-; that the price
of a child'S tooth Of artificial
fluorine will save it, does not
compensate for the ills and after
effects that its ingestion will cause.
Then here too is another angle
to consider. The city of Milwau-
kee. Wisconsin, was taken at
random to serve as the average
city" where artificial fluoridation is
used. 1t costs $7S, for every
650,0OO lbs. of artificial fuorine.
Of all the water that runs through
the taps from the municipal water
system, only one per cent will be
used for drinking purposes; ninety
nine per cent viii be used for the
family car, watering The lawn, etc.
Of the one per cent that will be us.
ed for drinking, three tenths of
one per cent (3-10 of l per cent?
