Protests Are Voiced
Over Acceptance of
Fluoride in Water

Some protests were voiced this
week over the fact that the Mayor
and Town Council of Oakland APP
proved the use Of fluOride in the
towns water supply. at a regular
meeting of council on March 5.
Prior to approving the program
last week the Council read letters
recommending its installation from
a number of organizations. Fluoride
has been found beneficial in pre-
venting tooth decay.
According to number of pamph-
lets distributed in this area the use
of fluoride in the water hastens
hardening of the arteries in aged
people. is hard on the kidneys and
the general health of pregnant
women, and causes spots on the
teeth.
Another argument used is that
the use of the material is forcing
medication on people whether
wanted or not
These pamphlets declare that the
fluoridc treatment is sodium fluor-
ide and not calcium fluoridc, that
sodium fluoride has acid reaction
and that the calcium fluoridc is
alkilinc and not soluble.
In Cumberland where the same
arguments arc being used against
its installation there, DR.. William
T. Fridinger, president of the two
county dental group, pointed out
that a Today study was begun in
1915 to two communities of 10000
population 80 miles apart along the
Hudson River in New York. New
burg added an ounce of fluoride,
a white crystalline salt, to every
3125 gallons of drinking water.
Kingston added no fluOride.
The ten-year results provide 'ir-
REPUTABLE evidence" that fluorida-
ton of drinking water as safe and

Schools Passed
Enabling Act Is Enacted At
Special Session Making
Buildings Possible

As the result of an enabling act
passed at the special session of the
Maryland Legislature held last
Thursday, the County Commission
ers of Garrett county now have
authority to borrow S550000 for
the construction of two new ele-
mentary schools in the county.
Financing of this loan is made
possible through the passage Of
Senate Bill $40, which doubled the
state incentive fund for school
construction needs 1t was eX-
planned that the passage of this
act will in no way affect the county
tax rate as the entire loan will be
amortized over a period of years
with State money rather than with
county money Handling of the
funds will be the responsibility of
the County Commissioners.
The County Board of Education
announced that it was moving i'm
mediately to plan with the Com
missioners in getting the buildings
planned and under contract Will
lard L. Hawkins, county superin-
tendent of schools, said he hoped
that both projects could be bid
and built at the same time. He
hoped to have both projects in
shape for bidding in approximately
six months
One Building At Oakland
1t is planned to construct one
building in Oakland, to the rear

Health Department
Lacks Polio Serum

Tho County Health department
announced yesterday afternoon that
it was entirely out of the polio vac
cine and that the program would
have to be suspended until new
supply arrives.
Dr. Arthur Jones, county health
officer, said due notice would be
given when the new supply is re-
ceived.
He advised that those due for the
second shots should have them in
less than four weeks but an eX-
tended time could be beneficial
rather than detrimental, so that
the extension of time will have no
i'll effects.
