Fluoridaiing WaierSupply.

The City Council at its monthly m eting yesterday was strongly u by Dr. W.L. MacDonald. City Health Officer, to implement fluoridation of the City's water supply as soon as possible. "I feel it is my duty to bring this matter before the Council. I have done so before and I am again stating my opinion that fluoridation would be of tremendous value to the teeth of growing children in this City," he said.

Dr. MacDonald referred to sev- eral editorial articles which have appeared in the newspapers in fav- or of fluoridation and noted that these articles had the endorsation of all medical and dental sociaties.

He felt that the anti-fluoridation V

campaign being csrreid on was nothing more than a money mak- ing scheme since thousands of dollars were made-in printing 113' erature against it.

As an example of the weak argu- ments used against fluoridation. Dr. MacDonald referred to one of the editprials in which a man call- ed up the City water works to in- form them that the fluoride in the water was causing a dark ring on his bathtub. It later turned out that the fluoride had not yet been placed in the water supply and the 891199" man in error was forced to admit that the discoloration in the tub must have been caused from some other source.

Dr. MacDonald asked the Coun- cil to ascertain whether a special act of the Legislature would be re- quired to put fluoridation into ef- fact. He read a letter from Dr. 0.1!. Curtis, Deputy Minister of Health who stated that no legislation ex- ists that would prevent fluoridation being carried out.

His Worship Mayor Stewart pre- sided at the meeting, which after transacting a portion of the busin-

evening at 7.00 o'clock. Councillor P.R. McCormac was not present.

CORRESPONDENCE

Considerable discussion centred Around the reading of correspond- ence involving a letter from the Public Utilities Commission regard ing the granting of a permit for an oil company to erect a service station on Elm Avenue.

The letter was in reply to one sent from the Council in which an explanation was asked regarding the granting of the permit. It had been previously agroedthp .the Public Utilities would not ahi such permits until they had receiv-

Portuguese Form Workers Expected In Fortnight

Ten Portugese fann workers are expected in the Province with- in the two weeks. They will land at Halifax. Direct from Europe The Department xf Irnmigratlon artmcnt of Immigration ,which

arranges the recruitment of farm

labour in Europe, notified the Charlottetown National Employ

ment office about the arrival of the men a few days ago. The local has passed the word along to a number of farmers who have been seeking farm help. The quota al- loted the Charlottetown office is a small fraction of a large num- ber to immigrants destined for farms all across Canada.

About a year ago the first party of Portuguese workers ar- rived in this Province, and after settling down they proved quite satisfactory. They had the usual '9 ., difficulties and were not acquainted with Canadian farming methods. in spite of these handl- caps most farmers who employed

ithem rated tham as good workers.

Bombing

i NIGOSIA. Cyilrus (AP) - Brit- ish authoritles clamped extramu- curity precautions on Cyprus' in- ternstionai airport Monday after snwciu they had uncovered a pld- -phce time bombs on planes. Officials displayed photographic copies of a letter dated March 30 which was addressed to ”Komon" and signed ”Dighenis”-the name of the legendary Greek hero of the time of the Byzantine empire which has been taken by the leader of EOKA, the organization now fight- ing for union with Greece. "I approve the placing of time bombs at the airport," the letter said. adding that orders had been sued for "a time bomb of one hour, which I calculate will ex- plode aftcr two hours because of the reduction in temperature." British experts said this clearly indicated that the bomb was in tended to explode while a plane was in flight, as the mention of a temperature probably referred to the change in the luggage compart- ment when a plane climbs. EOKA PLOT A government spokesman said the intercepted letter "makes it virtually certain" a previous at- tempt to blow up a plane in flight here was an EOKA plot. A time bomb exploded in an army-chartered transport here on March 14. just as it was about t take aboard 68 men. women and children, mostly dependents of British nvl vicemen.

Russian Ice Islands Not In

Canadian Waters

OTTAWA (CF) - External -Af- fairs Minister Pearson said Man- day two fioatlng ice islands oc- cupied by Russians in the Arctic ocean are not in Canadian waters.

He informed Wallace Nesbitt (PC-Oxford) in the Commons that Russia is using the two islands as weather stations and for other scientific purposes. Each had land- ing strips and transport aircraft and helicopters could land.

He was unable to say whether either of the two islands had ever drifted into Canadian waters. this had occurred.

It was learned here March its However, he had no knowledge that the RCAF is keeping an eye on the islands. Air force planes on navigational training nights in the polar regions carry out reconnais- sance of the drifting Russian sta- tons.

Soviet scientists on the two is- lands apparently know they are kept under surveillance. A recent issue of U.S.S.R. Illustrated News. issued by the Russian embassy here. said unidentified planes fre-

FIGHTING CONTINUES

New Urgency ls Given To Peace Mission

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israeli forces and roving bands of Arab raiders fought a kind of guerrilla war Monday in southern Israel.

The fighting gave new urgency to the eace mission of Secretary- Gcnerai) Dag Hammarskjold of the United Nations.

The Egyptians said Israeli ar- mored and foot soldiers crossed the Gaza strip border and that an Israeli plane violated Egyptian territory over the Suez Canal Zone. .

WASHINGTON (CP)-New Eng- land fishermen have launched an- other attempt. their fourth in rec- ent years, to restrict Canadian ex- ports of groundfish to the United States.

They have persuaded the United States tariff commission to open a new hearing June 5 to determine just what harm. if any, the gn-und- fish exports are doing to the New England fisheries industry. They are asking the wmmission either to raise the tariff on imports or to establish restrictive quotas.

While the commission's inquiry will delve into imports from all countries. its ramifications hit particularly hard at Ca the main supplier of groundfish imports. Trade figures -for 1955 show that Canada provided 93.400,- 000 pounds of the total of 129,000.- 000 brought into the U.S. from all countries.

The Canadian exports, a trade worth S-17,000,000 a year to Can- ada's Atlantic coast fishermen, came principally from Nova Scotia arid Newfoundland. Prince Edward Is and and New Brunswick provide smaller supplies. The groundfish- cod. haddock, hake, pollock, cusk and rosefish-go largely into the growing U.S. fishstick industry.

COMPLAIN OVER PRICES

The request for the tariff hear- ing came from the Massachusetts Fisheries Association. which repre sents fishermen and some proces- sers in the Boston and Gloucester areas. They claim cheap imports are harming their industry and that , low prices prevent fish- ermen from building the expensive trawlers necessary for them to in- crease their catch. The U.S. gro g yeiF:iotalied'?'iI0 noo-

consumption was 185,000,000 pounds The remaining 54,000,000 pounds was held in processing storehouses. The new hearing frankly has Canadian officials worried since a similar inquiry last year led to a commission recommendation to President Eisenhower that some restrictions be put on imports. Eisenhower turned that recom- mendation down on the ground the newly-established fishstick industry would take care of any excess.
