F!uoridation: Responsibility
OF Entire Community

To the Editor:
FluoridatiOn Of public water sup
ply for the control Of dental decay
is the responsibility of the entire
community not alone that of the
dentists, physicians on other health
workers The scientific evidence
complied over a 12-year study
period for the benefits and safety
of fluoridatlon is overwhelmingly
conclusive IT is our most effective
control Of dental decay. The New
burgh-kingston, N. Y. inVestiga-
ton proved the fluoridation of
public water supply is a safe. prac-
| tical and much needed health pro-
cedure Children who we're eX-
posed to a water supply containing
one part sodium fluoride to one
million parts water showed between
so and go percent less tooth decay
| than those who drank fluoride-free
water. There were no differences
in blood analysis. bone studies. or
systemic effects between either
groups. The cost is minimal in com
parison to the pain and suffering
from a disease that affects 95 per-
cent OF our entire population.
There are those who have op-
posed every advance that medical
science has ever made. The fight
for newer methods OF prevention,
treatment, and control OF disease
goes on regardless. If man had not
had foresight and vision. civiliza-
ton would have retrogressed in
stead of progressed
The nature of the opposition to
fluoridatiOn can be likened TO the
Old-time medicine men who,
through lack of understanding of
scientific subject, created fear.
suspician, and even hysteria. The
public should be aware that fluori-
dation of public water supply has
been accepted by all major health
organizations in the l.. s. and its
territories. II is the responsibility
of an entire community TO learn
the scientific facts regarding this
vital health measure in order to
secure its outstanding benefits for
our children.

In reply to your note of my let
ter to you of March 18th. it is
gratifying news indeed to know
the freedom of the press is still
in use by our local paper. You are
to be commended for this state
ment.
Now for proof, in your note you
have charged me with insinuations
which you claim your paper is not
open for. Therefore you are guilty
of your self constructed accusation
Here are facts in your mention
of the settlement of the account of
Mr.. J. Edward Helbig you claim
the Board of Commissioners have
made proper settlement My tax
bill plainly states all tax money
in Arrears and due shall be paid in
full and after September of same
year interest shall be charged and
collected at the rate of l2Fo per
month or fractional part thereof.
saw no mention of interest being
charged or collected by anyone in
this settlement.
Now for another fact. I own
fifty acre lot with sixteen acres of
tillable land balance cut over tim
berland. Faced with declining farm
prices the only improvement l was
able TO make was the purchase of
a Two bottom tractor pillow since
the election of our present Board
of Commissioners. This ploW cost
me S225.00 yet my taxes increased
this year over and above those of
last year by the sum of S2ly60
Now at tax rate Of S2.05 per
hundred l am willing and ready to
hear anyone explain that one.
Last but not least as to your in
sinuation that ! have been per-
suaded by an individual other than
myself to compose my letter of
March 18th and also this one is en-
tirely with out foundation. AS
have not consulted or been ad-
Vised by anyone.

you the privilege to name your

hours. Professor Byron S. Cum
mings was one of the first white
men to see Rainbow Bridge. La
ter, a member of the party de-
scribed their first glimpse thus:
"From the point where we first
observed it, Nonnezosche appear
ed dwarfed, as il was, by cliffs
towering 500 feet or more above.
The canyon twisted and turned,
folded and unfolded upon itself.
A few steps to one side, and the
arch disappeared. Only from one
vantage point could it be sep
arated from its enveloping cliffs.
Those massive red cliffs, patched
and streaked with brown; purple
shadows and a faint blush haze
down canyon; brick colored talu-
ses flecked with yellow bunch
grass and rabbit brush"
This report was written in
1909, and for As years this party
was considered the first white
men to see Rainbow Bridge.
just recently another
statement has turned up, claim
ing that a family of proSpectors
first made the discovery in 1884
they were searching for
gold or silver.
AS you stand directly beneath

the dome of the Capitol building
IN Washington could be placed,
you are overwhelmed by the
beauty and majesty of this nat
iral structure. No human engi-
leer can duplicate the feeling of
tremendous power in a bridge of
METAL; no human architect can
match its magnificent simplicity.
A hot desert sun bathes the
lrch in soaring light; cloud shad-
,ws fit across its face. In the

We packed our lunches in,
and gathered almost below the
giant span to eat. 1t was chilly,
so we built a small fire and clus-
tered around it. Here, the sand
stone cliff had been worn away
about five feet above the ground,
leaving a small overhang from
which dripped the purest, clear
est, coolest spring water l have
ever drunk. Venus-hair ferns
and blooming columbine filled
every nook and Granny of the
overhang, softening the severity
of the rock with their refreshing
loneliness.
Some of the party clambered to
the top of the bridge itself, using
both ropes and "moki steps" to
reach their goal. These moki steps
are mere indentations for fingers
and toes gouged into the solid
rock hundreds of years ago by
the Indians who dwelt in caves
high in the nearby cliffs, and who
revered this inspiring wonder.
The climbers eventually stood
shouted against the sky, drawf-
ed by both the heighth and colos-
sal size of the arch. The rest of
us were content to gaze up from
below. experiencing the same
feelings of reverence and awe the
