better job of carrying off water
than drains installed at three feet.
This is just the opposite to what
farmers and researchers have been
finding on soils without compact
layers.
The particular Ohio soil used in
the tests has a compact till layer
three feet below the surface.
Water has tough time penetrat-
ing this till layer. Coins says the
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1957-12-03

best drainage is obtained by plac-
ing the drains a few inches above
slowly permeable layer. Since
drains could be installed above a
compact soil layer, drainage in
soils with stratified layers should
be brought about largely by vary
ing the drain spacings, Coins said.

reality next summer.
The class of 1882 has temporarily per-
fected plans to hold their silver anniversary
on Aug. 31st but since an organization for
the entire school was later proposed, these
plans were cancelled and the reunion will
be held in 1858 instead
Although the first banquet will be for
the entire alumni group, it is expected that
classes such as 1882 will enjoy get-together
and hold reunion within a reunion. This
could and will apply to all other classes
When you consider that there are almost
1000 graduates of the Caldwell high school,
the wide scope of the undertaking by these
few individuals can easily be seen.
1t was back in 1886 that the first grad
yates received their diplomas from the Cald-
we'll high school.
The only living graduate of that first
class who still makes her home in Caldwell
is Mrs, Margaret Dilley Bowron of North
street Another we'll known graduate is Dr.
c. T. Okey, of Columbus, who has already
contributed $25.00 in getting the organization
off to good financial start.
Miss Lottie Bivens, who now resides near
Washington D. c., is another living member
of that class. Miss Bivens also taught in the
Caldwell schools for number of years
The Caldwell high school alumni as
sociation has much merit and all graduates
are urged to cooperate and send in their
current address and buck dues as quickly
as possible.

Alumni Association

Through the efforts of a few graduates
of the Caldwell high school, an alumni
organization should come into being here
for the first time in the history of the local
school
Although Caldwell is the largest school
IN Noble county, it has never supported an
alumni organization of any type.
AT the suggestion of DR.. Charles E.
Davis superintendent of the local Schools
and Bill Semon, who has spearheaded the
drive, a concerted campaign is now under
way to organize such an alumni with an
annual banquet being planned
Semon is being assisted in the initial
effort by Mary Lois King Colley and Robert
S. (Bud) Ralston.
Appearing elsewhere in this publication
is coupon for all graduates to fill out and
return, plus one dollar BILL which will be
the annual dues for this worthy organization
Since the groundfloor is now being laid
it is a gigantic job to assemble all the
information concerning the hundreds Of
graduates from the Caldwell high school and
the local committee will need all the
assistance they can get.
1t will be such a simple task for the
graduate through the years to fill out this
coupon, enclose a dollar bill, and return to
Bill Sennon or Robert Ralston. In this way
the organization will have its beginning and
the seeds of all this labor will be sown this
fall and winter with the result that the first
annual banquet of the newly organized
Caldwell alumni association will become

"GOrby Ford" or
"BuZZard's Glory" "

Before a covered bridge was
erected over Duck creek in this
area, the only means of crossing
the stream was fording it a mile
south of the present site of Cald-
well. Soon thereafter the ford
was given the name of "Gorby
Ford" and some years later this
name was changed to "BuzZard' S
Glory" which is maintained to
this time. The population was no
greater than the proverbial
bakers dozen" and no indus
tries of any kind other than a
blacksmith shop and a shoe re-
pair shop. But the pioneers con-
tinued to survive through the
years. Among the olden time
residents were David Caldwell
and Simon Wheeler, the latter
being the father of Loem (Jude)
Wheeler, of Caldwell, and grand
father of John d. Wheeler, CO.

poisonous fluorides now began
to find a market.
Even the statistics used to
prove the beneficial effects in
reducing cavities in the mouths
of children under ten years of
age, are now being revealed as
unsound and misleading in
many cases. We also find bet
ter safer and more economi-
cal ways of using fluorides on
children if that must be done.
Parent-teacher associations,
and other organizations, have
been sucked into the stream of
seductive propaganda which
perpetrated the hoax and 'un-
constitutional offense of artifi-
cally fluoridating public water
supplies. Even the warnings of

in St. Petersburg are wise to
recognize their obligation to
the people who come here for
visit or retirement, and stop
putting the deadly poison into
the water that the visitors
drink.
In all fairness, all adults and
even children, should be warn
ed against the dangers of arti-
ficial fluoridation. They should
make careful inquiry as to the
kind of water supplied by the
municipalities which they visit.
They should make sure the

there is frightening evidence
that it does hasten death in
some cases.
Because of the utter lack Of
Knowledge of safety of mass
fluoridation of the public, be-
cause of the accumulating evi-
dence of the harmfulness of
fluoridation to adults and un-
satisfactory evidence used to
prove benefit to children, a
number of medical societies,
state and local, have gone on
record as opposed to the artifi-
cal fluoridation of municipal
water supplies. Even the Amer
lean Medical Association, once
widely quoted for its limited
approval of fluoridation, takes
cognizance of the growing sus-
picion of fluoridation, recog-
niZes the need for a reappraisal
Of It's own earlier position, and
is now making the study that
should have been made before
any approval at all had been
issued on fluoridation.
There have been few move
ments in the United States
more cluttered up with deli
berate propaganda based on in
adequate and even distorted
evidence, than the fluoridation
or public water supplies. There
is irony in the fact that a form
er highly-paid employee of a
manufacturer of artificial flu
oride should have BECOME head
of the United States Health
Service and in that capacity,
pushed the idea of fluoridation.

Unfinished Business

When Congress adjourns at the
end of an even-numbered year,
all pending legislation expires.
But, in the odd-numbered years
such as this one, legislation which
has not been acted upon finally
is carried over to the following
year in the same status that it
held at time of adjournment
Many such bills now appear likely
to be carried over to 1858. They
include a large number calling for
the reduction of income, excise
and transportation taxes; the
broadening of provisions for So
cial Security; the recodification
Of the laws governing banks and
banking institutions; an increase
in postal rates; pensions for vet
Grams of World War I; amend
ments to the Tennessee Valley
Authority Act which would per-
nit the IVA to sell bonds in an
amount not to exceed "a billion
dollars; the bill to remove con-
trolls from the production of ma
tural gas; bills to iberalize immi-
grafton quotas and, procedures;
and in all probability, the much
discussed civil rights bill.
All of these bills are regarded
as important. However, while
some of them will be enacted in
to law, others are destined to die
at the end of Congress in 1858.
Legislation In A Hurry
One of the singular features OF
the American legislative process
is the tremendously slow and di-
latory schedule which it follows
Dictators point to American pro-
cedures as unavoidable because
| of our inability to act in hurry
However, there are two occa-
sions which the American legis-
latures can move with jet-pro-
PEELED speed. One, is when a Ma
tional emergency occurs and war
or another catastrophe demands
haste. The other is toward the
end of a session. 1t is then that
a legislative broom which has
| been hiding in the corner some
where, is employed to sweep all
kinds of legislative bits onto the
floor of Congress. Then it is that
the parliamentary manuevers anc
circumlocutions are placed on {
shelf and the legislative mill is
called to action.
Rules that delay are suspended
and debate is sharply curtailed
AS an example, on Monday oi
this week, 13 measures were
scheduled for consideration by
the House under a suspension o.
the rules. Bills so considered are

HAIL TO ST. PETE
By DIR. Alfred p. Haake

It takes real courage and
craftsmanship to recognize an
earlier mistake; and, no less SO
to correct policies in conseq-
uence of that recognition.
We pay tribute to the Mayor
and Commissioners Of st. Pet
ersburg, Florida, who recently
suspended the fluoridation Of
their municipal water supply,
begun two years ago. They will
wait for the pending report of
the American Medical Associa-
ton, which is making a re-
appraisal of its earlier position
on fluoridation of municipal
water supplies.
In the meantime, st. Peters
burg has stopped pouring pois-
onous fluorides into the water
which it furnishes to its citi-
zens. This is encouraging, to
all adults, and especially to
older persons, and even to chill
dren, who have any tendency
toward degenerative diseases
such as cancer, heart disease,
kidney disease and others. it
is not yet exactly known just
how long it takes for fluoride
to accumulate in the body be-
fore serious consequences re-
suit, or just exactly how it
affects various people, whether
to cause or merely to aggra-
yate serious disease and un-
timely death.
But we do know that the
poison does accumulate in the
soft tissues of the body, and
