A Wonderful Festival The fine performances on Tues- day and Wednesday by the stars of the Music Festival were enjoyed by very large audiences and served as a fitting climax to the Festival pro- ceedings. The. programme through- out was the most ambitious ever undertaken locally, and reflects credit upon all concerned. it was evident from the adjudicators' re- marks as well as from the audience reaction that talent was well dis- tributed in the various classes. and there was keen competition for the awards. But the awards were by no means the most valuable things which the contestants obtained from their participation in this communal event. They gained confidence and a sense of satisfaction in expressing themselves in terms of art, pro- portionate to the efforts they put forth. and regardless of their age groups or their standing In the final results. Nothing like the wide popularity enjoyed by the Music Festival has been seen in my cultural activity in this Province. Year by year it has grown until it is now I truly provin- cial movement, reflecting, as Dr. Leslie Bell remarked in compliment- ing the participants. "the mood of the Island" and expressive of the life and vitality of the community in I manner altogether praise- worthy. As one modern composer and critic has said, ”In the true democracy we are working for, mu- sic must again become In essential part of community life, Ind the values of art and those of common living brought together once more Is they have been in the great ages of the past." This thought was evi- dently in Sir Ernest MacMillan's ind in the Idmlrable address he yave during Festival week in the Samuel N. Robertson memorial lec- ture in Prince" of Wales College. It is I. goal worth striving for, and it is I satisfaction to feel that we are making real progress in this direc- tion.

Emergency Threatens

The prospect of another railway strike, such as paralyzed transpor- tation in this country in 1950, cer- tsinly falls into the category of na- tional emergencies Ind should be dealt with as such. In this case it is the railways which are opposed to the conciliation board's majority finding, which granted more than half the demands of the 150,000 non-operating employees directly involved. Yesterday the Prime Min- ister was quoted as stating that no decision had been reached as to whether the Government would im- press on the railways the necessity of accepting the report. According to I Canadian Press report. he said that responsibility does not lie with the Government. either legally or technically, but that Parliament has I responsibility to the Canadian people in respect to operation of rail services.

This reasoning is hard to follow. The Government in late years has usurped more and more of Parlia- ment's authority in other matters, but when it comes to handling such I "hot potato" as I railway strike issue it quickly passes the ball back to the House. If it has no Iuthorlty why has its Minister of Labour, Mr. Gregg. been attempting unsuccess- fully to intervene? The sorry fact is that I general federal election is in the offing and the Government is stepping more wsrlly even than "usual in Ivolding political trouble.

Regardless of the merits of the claims one way or the other. we be- lhve th'It the public will demand intervention before the Ilrike rnstnrialhcs, and will hold the

What of our car ferry service, which was tied up in the 1950 strike? Immediate assurance should be obtained by the Provincial Gov- ernment from Ottawa that this ser- vice-owned by the Government and merely operated by the Canadian National Railway-will remain un- Iffected in accordance with our Confederation terms for continuous communication with the mainland. Let us recall, in this connection, the Speech from the Throne,at the opening of the 1951 term of the Provincial Legislature, in which re- ference was made to this issue, fol- lowing a special session of the House at which a strong resolution was passed. The 1951 Speech de- clares:

"A damaging railway strike took place in the past, year. My Govern- ment adopted the position that the strike was illegal and improper when it was found that the crews of the ferry boats on the Borden-Tor- mentine route were organized and among the strikers. The strongest

I protests were made and the ferry

resumed operations before the strike was over. A clause in the Agree- ment between the employees and the Canadian National Railways was violated and my Government in- tends to insist that the ferry em- ployees he refused an agreement by the Railway hereafter. and that the Government Vessels Discipline Act and the Confederation pact insuring lcontinuous communication' be hon- oured always."

Now is the time to make sure that this issue is definitely settled and that there will be no repetition of the illegal actions of six years ago. This at least is not 8. matter in which the Government can pass the buck to Parliament. We should have I statement from the Prime Min- ister, or some responsible member of his cabinet, fully guaranteeing our rights in this regard.

The American Dental Associa- tion says that there is no truth in the old superstition that wisdom teeth are related to intelligence. Now, that is what we call I useful scientific disclosure.

Soon, former President Truman will receive an honorary doctorate from Oxford University. despite the protest of a female member of the faculty who called Mr. Truman I "tyrant in the class of Hitler, Mus- solini, and Stalin". As the basis of her unjust charge the lady cited his authorization of the dropping of the first atomic bomb on Japan in the closing days of the war. A far- fetched deduction, surely.

A pungent thought on education comes from Dr. J. P. Mather, pre- sident of the University of Mass- achusetts. Addressing the Ontario Education Association recentiy, he said: "Good teachers cost more, poor teachers cost most.” The urg- ent need is for more and better teachers. "What good," he wanted to know, "will new buildings do- these shining new tin cans-if filled with half-baked beans, whether staff or pupils?"

It seems that there are still new worlds to conquer. Down in Columbia, I mountain range called La Macarena. whose peaks rise to 10,000 feet, is being explored for the first time, although scientists say it was in its present position probably millions of years before the better known Andes Mountains came into existence. Already, plants which are unknown in any other part of the world have been discovered on LI Macarena, as well as many strange insects, including large luminous beetles carrying three "red lamps".

New support for fluoridation has come from the Federal Minister of Health, Hon. Paul Martin. In I letter written to the mayor of the town of Rcnfrcw, Ontario, where I keen controversy on the subject is raging, Mr. Martin assured him that the Canadian and United States medical and dental professions had carefully appraised the evidence and "had found fluoridation is I safe, effective and judicious health pro- cedurc for partial prevention of 100th decay.

The Fluoridation Question

By Jsmes M. Mather. M.D., D.P.H, End of the Dcplrtment of Public Health. Faculty of Medicine University of British Columbia.

(Continued from yesterday's issue)

Brsntford, Ontario. began mech- InicIl water fluoridation in 1945 Ind the results cited Ire from studies closely supervised by the Dental Division. Ontario Depart- ment of Health, and by the Re- search Division and the Dental Health Division of the Depart- ment of National Welfare.

Two nearby cities. Ssrnia Ind Stratford, Iilke in all respects ex cept for the fluoride in content of the drinking water were used as controls. Sarnia has little or no fluoride In its water supply. Stratford has naturally occurring

, fluoride of 1.3-1.6 p.p.m. and this

supply has been continuously in use since 1917. The fluoride con- tent of the Brantford supply has been kept It 1 ppm. since 1945. Large. comparable samples of children from each city have been examined in four subsequent sur- veys.

1954 SURVEY -

The results cited here are from the survey of i954. Each year surveyed (1948-51-53-54) has shown I steady decrease In caries in Brnntford. In 1948, Brantford Ind Sarnin, the fluoride-free control, showed almost identical figures for caries. By 1954 the proport- ion of Brantford children 8-8 years with caries free permanent teeth wIs Ibout twice as grcIt Is for Sarnia. The mean DMF tooth rate per child Ige 6-8. in Brantford was less than one-quarter of the Saruia rate for that age group. The 9-11 and 12-14 age groups in Brantford had already received considerable benefit by 1954. but not as much as the 6-8 year olds since they had not been drinking fiuorldnted water through the en- tire period of enamel develop- ment. The Strntford date is used to indlcste the full improvement that may be expected.

From 1948-54. dental caries Imong Brsntford children has been reduced by approximately 89 per cent in the 6-8 year age group. by 44 per cent in the 9-11. Ind by 36 per cent in the 12-14. During the snmc period, the car- ies Incidence in the two control cities has remained It the same level or increased slightly. In 1954 there was no longer any differ- ence in incidence or prevslenco of dental cIrIes in the 6-8 year In group in Brantford Ind Strat- ford. The gap between dental car- ies levcl in the older age groups in Hrantford and Strntlord has narrowed considerably.

N0 ILL EFFECTS

No ill effects of fluoridation have been observed. in all three cities. including Sarnln, there have been I very few cases of slight mottllng of the teeth detectable only by an experienced observer. No other Idvcrse effects of Iny kind hIve been observed and the medical officer of health Ind tho medical suit of the Brsntford General Hospital have gone on record to that effect.

The original cost of installation

of the equipment In 1945 wu 8448 .

Ind the engineer. Mr. D.B. Wil-

liams. estimates that the cost now

would range from 3300 lo S3,500 .

d pending on type of equipment tot.-ii feed capacity. etc. The cost per capita has ranged from if to 17 cents per year. No difficulties have been encountered in opera- tion.

Here. then. is I Canadian City with an experience of ten years with In artificially fluoridated wa- ter supply, an experience which is matched by several American cities. No untoward results have occurred. There has been I two- thlrds reduction in the expected caries incidence in those children who have drunk this water during the period of enamel formation. The operation from the mechani- cal viewpoint is simple and cheap. Why in there still controversy Ibout fluoridation. why has it not been installed in all our commu- nal water supplies? ANTI-FLUORIDATIONISTS I Who are the people currently in opposition to fluoridation? A size- abie group is maderup of those who are uninformed or misin-

formed on the subject. These are ' the people who are interested but I

do not have the time or the op- portunity to study the evidence. in this group you may even find I few physicians Ind dentists. There are thosg who have been led astray by baseless allegations from those actively opposed to fluoridation. This latter class comes from I vIrlety of sources but. basically, they are the same groups that have opposed every other progressive heuith measure; they have opposed pasteurization of milk, chlorination of water, diphtheria toxold. smallpox vac- cine.

There are those who have I fin- Inclnl interest in opposing this measure: the vendors of faddist foods, the sellers of pamphlets. There are marginal practitioners who always oppose any advance advocated by - ognized healing professions. There is another group which uses the fluoridation issue. as they would Iny other controversial ubject, for the pro- motion of their own political ends. Finally. there is I group who for their own devious ends irlll mis- quote statements mndg by normal people. lift statements from the context to give I false meaning, Ind who Ippcar to have. as their primary purpose, the acquisition of notoriety. They exploit in the full the l-iltlerlsn .cchnique of the big lie knowing full well we tre- mendous difficulty of refuting I statement that has once been made and disseminated. They use all the techniques: fear hypnosis. the menace of Communism, civil lib- Irties, the religious motif. and many others.

On the other hnnd. do not un- dersell the intelligence of the Iv- erage citizen. He is hungry for in- foi'mIiIon Ind if he is given the truili, I am confident that he will ulhmalcly make up his mind in- tolilgently.

Cooking for I person on I low salt diet on be I big problem for homernnkers. How can you make fimlfs tssty when you can't Idd

,ActuIlly. it's not Is difficult Is It mlsht seem. I'm not I fancy cook, but let me tell you about some sessonings you can use in- slesd of salt. g

Al I Kroup. seasonings are re- lllrklbly low in sodium content.

Vinegar Ind vanilla extract, for cxnmpie, contain only about 1 mg. of sodium per 100 grams. Cin- namun nutmeg and ground black pepper contain I llllle more. but are safe to use in these diets.

So are most of the other sea- soninns with the exception of cglery salt. prepared mustard, Vlorcestershlre sauce and tomato catsup.

Parsley flakes and cloves con- tain moderate amounts of sodium but you can use these as veil as thyme marjoram. rosemary, 53. vory, basil. tarragon and lemon.

A lilnch of marl-tram and ano- fber of thyme. cooks tell me. do an awful lot for I p-ain hamburger.

Lemon juice also helps flavor usrrsragus and broccoli.

Use vinegar to pep up other vegetables.

You'll probably find that white wine vinegar goes best with mild flavrred vegetables. Red vinegar is better for the tastier vegetables.

Basil is good with tomatoes. tarraaon with carrot and savory with iima beans. And onions boiled W1”! thyme and whole clove are I real treat.
