FACTS ABOUT
DENTAL HEALTH

(FOllOwing is the tenth in
series of articles on "YOur
Dental Health" being presented
by the South Phoenix Round
Up, in cooperation with the
Arizona State Department of
Health and the Arizona State
Dental Association. Today, Flu
oridatiOn-cOst and benefits.)
Fluoridation of a community
water supply is shaping up as the
best public health bargain of all
time.
For less than Is cents per per-
son per year. the ravages of tooth
decay are being reduced as much
as 65 per cent in communities
throughout the United States.
The cost of a single filling would
pay for the fluoride for one person
for many years.
The late Doctor John G. Frisch,
of Madison, Wisconsin, chair
man of the fluorine committee of
the Wisconsin State Dental Society,
which pioneered in the procedure,
used to say:
There can be no question as to
whether a city can afford it, but
whether any city can afford to be
without it."
There are to date nearly 1000
communities which have rallied
under the banner Of fluoridation
to protect the future health of
their children's. teeth.
In many of these communities,
the leadership came from the pub
lic-women's clubs, parent-teach-
er associations, churches, labor
unions, civic groups. They wrote
letters to health departments and
city officials. They formed citizens
committees.
They were able to show that ad-
justments Of the fluoride content
in water system was feasible
from an economic standpoint. Cost
of equipment has been found to
range from several hundred dol
lars for a small town to several
thousand dollars for medium
sized city.
From an engineering standpoint,
according to a water works asso-
citation, the mechanism of adding
fIuorides to the water supply is no
more involved than adding chlor-
inc.
Fluorine is not medicine any
more than chlorine. 1t is not a
cure-all. 1t cannot eliminate tooth
decay. 1t can do nothing about
teeth that are already decayed. 1t
is preventive which in some COM
munities has reduced the incidence
of tooth decay by twO-thirds.
Where objection to fluoridation
of a water supply has been raised,
the principal objectors usually have
been drugless healers, members OF
a religious group who believe flu
oridation constitutes medication
and those who fear an economic
threat to the sale of such items as
vitamin and meneral preparations.
According to the Arizona State
Dental Association, those oppos-
ing fluoridation for the most part
have used false, misleading and
emotional charges" based on "un-
documented and unscientific sup
porting material"

LET'S DISCUSS
Arizona Law

(This legal column is issued
under supervision of the State
Bar of Arizona, and is written
to inform, not to adviSe.)
On the golf course you have
learned to have a great deal
of respect for the term "fore"
and you are well aware of wat
er hazards, but what about
legal hazards of the game
There are certain legal as
poets to gOlfing. The golfer has
the responsibility to keep on
the lookout for stray shots, but
the fellow hitting the ball has
an obligation to give a timely
warning which is the legal
term for ''fore," to anyone he
knows is in line or close to the
line of intended flight of the
ball, before he takes his swing.
Courts have recognized that
the average golfer cannot al
ways control the Ntffrection*or
destination of a golf ball. For
this reason golfer must as
sumo the risk of being hit by
a ball sliced or hooked into the
fairway on which he is playing.
: Courts also have held that
where it is impossible to antici-
pate that a fellow golfer might
be injured by a shot, there is
no liability.
The important point is that
you should watch players a.
head of you on the fairway
which you are playing. If any
one is obviously within range,
it is your responsibility to hold
your shot. If another twosOme
or foursome is on the green
you're aiming for, wait until
they have holed out before you
hit. A shouted warning to any
one in the obvious danger zone
is not sufficient, no matter how
impatient you may be to. get
on with your game.
Courtesy is the best safe
guard in golfing, just as it is
/, on the highway. Generally, if
you learn the official rules and
customs of golf, and follow
them, you'll avoid the legal
hazards as well as the water
hazards. ss

we wanted to create an Anne

as one authority expressed it
after a study of both systems,
