Of Harvard told . House Sci

I'VE don't think 1t needs to be
that slow. but you can't do It
in three years"
Dr.. Pusey's comment was re-
garded e. q criticism Of the
"Quickie culture" concept en-
braced by some Government
scientific administrators. Space
officials partic ularly have
spoken Of building "centers Of
excellence" equal to the New

demic completes to help push
space-age developments.
You can't build q center Of

can't do it just with dollars. .
DR.. Pussy told the subcommit-

About 80 per cent Of this Is
for development and 10 per

Letters to the Editor .
Cant Understand
Bureau Stund

"We see it in both state and
national legislation all the time.
Yet, they claim to be the friend
of the farmer and the family
farm. Strange, that the Farm
Bureau should feel that every
one is out of Step but them
selves.
1t would be a calamity if the
referendum should become a
political issue or a prestige
battle between rival groups.
The decision of the growers on
May Fl is going to have pro-
found repercuSsions one til
business in rural America and
the economy of the State and
Nation. The farmers owes il
to himself and his country to
get all the factual information
available and analyze it care
fully before making that fateful
choice.
And it is a fateful decision
as the vast majority of econo-
mist say the Farm and rural
communities face ruinous prices
and chaotic conditions with a
NO vote and unlimited produc-
ton.

Up And Down Main Street
by Cliff Urseth

The news that Fort Union has been
proposed as a u. S. historic site is GER
tainly welcomed in this area. The loca-
ton of such a tourist attraction would
mean a lot to Sidney and the immediate
area.
The land involved in this area totals
more than 400 acres and falls within
Williams county in North Dakota and
Roosevelt county in Montana. The United
States National Park Service has pub
lished a booklet covering the proposal.
Some of the highlights revealed in the
book about Fl. Union point up the signi-
fiance of the Fort and the history that
is associated with it. In 1905 the Lewis
and Clark expedition passed the site;
Construction of Fort Floyd begun in 1928
and in 1880 Fort Floyd renamed Fort
Union; Army established Fort Buford in
1886; Sitting Bull and about 200 follow
ers surrendered at Fort Buford in 1881
and in 1895 Fl. Buford was abandoned.
The book contains many interesting
facts about the history of Fl. Union and
the proposals that have been made to
restore it as a historic site. Anyone
wanting to read this can stop in at the
Herald office and pick it up.

According to the National Association
of Broadcasters, TV commercials aren't
too loud. When you bolt out of your
chair whenever a commercial comes on
you are merely experiencing a "subjec-
tive and psychological phenomenon" that
can't be proved. Reason is, the Associa-
ton points out, no device can "hear"
sound as the human ear does and no two
humans agree on how loud "loudness" is.
The TV industry has been told their
commercials are too loud and we GER
tainly agree. We doubt very much if the
~Broadcasters Association would come
out and say that their commercials are
too loud. .

Inasmuch as President Kennedy has
set a goal of 1870 for putting Americans
on the moon, it's interesting to see that
a price tag has been put on such a ven
ture. D. Brainerk Holmes, director of
the National Aeronautics and Space Ad-
ministration's manned space flight pro-
gram has said the first round trip will
cost $40 billion.
When you spread this cost over a de-
cade it seems very little to pay for the
military, scientific or prestige values
that will be assured. That is if we don't
come in a close second.

why the Farm Bureau should
come out against the wheat
referendum, when the other
farm organizations, National
Grange, Farmers Union, Nation
al Association of Wheat Grow
ers, National Farmers Organi-
cation, Missouri Farmers AS
ISOLATION and others, have mer-
ged to organize a National

to promote a Yes vote. Why is
it traditional that whenever

One of the big jobs of the city council

approved permits for Safeway and

ished. And sometime soon work should

Couple this building activity with the

He was the first man execut-

With his lawyers, he went to
the office of the prison direc-

his execution be held up be-

Water fluoridation has more
than halved tooth decay among
Washington area school chill
dren, District Health Depart
ment officials announced today.
The officials said that the
addition Of sodium silicofluoride
to the water supply has proved
highly successful" and greatly
reduced the number Of seriously
decayed teeth that must be
extracted. Fluoridation of water
was started in June 1852.
DR.. Harry Ostrow, chief Of
the Districts Bureau Of Dental
Health, released the statistics
on 10 years Of fluoridation
today at the District Dental
Society's postgraduate clinic
at the Shoreham Hotel.
In the 1872 school year,
10.7 per cent Of all six-year-
old children in the Districts
schools were found by dental
hygienists to have one or more
decayed teeth. In 1872, only
50 per cent Of the six-year-
olds studied in the. Districts
schools had decayed teeth.
Mr.. Murray Grant, director
of the Districts Health De-
partment. noted that, without
fluoridation, decay might have
been reduced by the changing
school population over the 10
years. He said Negro children
generally have less than half
the decayed, filled and missing
permanent teeth as white
children. .
Thus, statistics on the re-
