Plebiscife

(Continued from page 1)

“It is our understanding that the elected representatives of the people are voted into office so ‘hat they may assume responsibil- ity and leadership for the various problems and issue as they arise within their term office.

“Three years ago a strong Home and School delegation sup- ported by dental authorities wait; ed upon our elected representa- tives, the 'Water Commissioners and made a plea for fluoridation;

“We were told that the Com: missioners felt that they could not take any action, at that time. be- cause City Council had not given unanimous approval to fluorida- tion, although the Council had passed a majori‘y vote in its fav: (r.

“This past year the City Council unanimously voted in favor of fluoridation. Now many were hopeful at last that this beneficial health measure would be put into effect, particular'y as this is in line with the thinking of the Can- adian Medical and Dental Socie~ ties. who have given their official approval of fluoridation as a pos- itive health measure. ‘

“It has been pointed out that Fluoridation is most beneficial to children from Dre-natal age up to the twenties. Surely it is a selfish and shortsighted view which says that this measure benefits only one section of our population.

“Eventually. through lime. all members of our community will benefit. And surely the cost is very small compared to the long range benefits to be gained. par- ticularly for our children.

“With all these factors so clear- iy before the Water Commission- ers. we expect them to live up to the leadership which they assum- ed when they Wn'l their seats as our elected representatives.

“It is up to them to make a de- cision, themselves, on the question of fluoridation and save the pub-

directed me to inform you that they have decided to hold a pic- biscite because of the contro- versial nature of the subject,

dividual citizens not to fluoridatel the water and the many cautions to proceed carefully.

"According to the Latest formation received from the' the Canadian Federation of; Mayors and Muicipalities there are only twenty-three commun- ities in‘ all Canada fluoridating their water supply at the prc~ sent time. Toronto Township and Renfrew abandoned fluoridation after its adoption. In‘ many cases a decision either to install fluor- idation or not was arrived at by a plebiscite and the opinion of the people asceniained. The Commissioners therefore in all fairness to the citizensn of Char- lottetown have decided to submit fluoridation of the water supply to them by holding a plebis— cite."

The letter was signed by Commission office manager, F. A. VanIderstine.

iNITIAL APPROVAL

City_'Council first approved flu- iridating the City‘s water supply! by a majority vote recorded on'

III- ‘,

September 12, 1955.

Later that fall a delegation re- iresenting a number of important )cal organizations waited on the ‘ommissioners and presented a irief endorsing the measure.

Included in this representative zroup were representatives of the ive City Home and School Associ- ations. Mrs. J. Gordon Mac- Donald. Mrs. R.E. Dowd. Mrs. ES. Chandler. Mr. Roland Tay- ior and Mr. Reginald MacNutt. ‘

Others in the delegation were: i

K.A. Parker, superintendent of the ‘ City‘s schools: Dr J.H. Maloney, I955 vice-president of the P.E.I. Medical Society; Dr. Heath Mac- lntyre, then secretary-registrar of , the P.E.I. Dental Society; Dr.‘ Brian O’Meara. of the Division of Dental Public Health; and Mr. R. Donnelly, then di:ector of the San- itary Engineering Division.

Dr. Maloney and Dr. Macintyre both stated that their respective professional Associations fully en- dorsed the fluoridation project as‘ a “sound health measure". Years of careful research had indicated that there were no injurious ef- fects resulting from fluoridation, Dr. Maloney said.

Fluoridating the City's drinking water would result in a two thirds reduction in tooth decay among the City's children Dr. O'Meara asserteu.‘ He added that this would mean that the City's dental needs could then be met adeqquately.

PLEBISCITE CRITICIZED

During the discussion the ques tion of a plebiscite on the mat- ter arose and was sharply criti- cized by the Superintendent of the City schools.

Such measures should be de- cided by those in authority after they have carefully sifted the evidence of those capable of giv- ing authoritative and professional advice, Mr. Parker said.

Replying to the various spokes- man. the chairman of the Com- missioners, Mr. H. R. Bevan said that the Commissioners had an open mind on the matter of flouri- dratti'on, but had naturally hesitat- ed to take such a major step be- fore having the approvai of re- sponsible medical and denfal

At that time Mr. Bevan also said that the Commission had every intention of investigating the mattcr still further coming to a final decision.

Ferry Docks 2 Days Late

PORT AUX BASQUES. Nfld. (CP) —— The CNR ferry William Carson docked h ere Tuesday more than two days late on her loo-mile trip from North Sydney, N.S.

Westerly gales and high seas prevented her from entering har- bor here Sunday and Monday. She spent most of the time hov- ering in the lee of Cape Breton Island near Cape North, NS.

The Carson left North Sydney as usual at 2 am. Sunday. Her captain decided against trying to enter Port aux Basques because of the storm.

She approached this western Newfoundland terminal twic e Monday but turned back toward Cape Breton both times. The 'vind. which reached more than 30 miles an hour at times. abated \‘Ionday night.

She finally docked at 9:05 a.m.

,Tuesday after being at sea 55

hours. The trip normally takes 31/2 hours.

The ship carried 48 passengers and 40 carloads of freight. Among cassengers stranded here by the :lelay were members of the To- ronto Opera Festival Company. a Sydney

3 Are Dead In Murder-Suicide

WINDSOR. Ont. lCP) — Three persons are dead and a fourth is in hospital near death in the wake of what police believe was a double murder and suicide in suburban Riverside.

Dead are Harold Thompson, 70, his wife Alice. 68. of Riverside, and Theodore M-owry, 40, of Sand- wich West Township.

In Windsor's Metropolitan Hos- pital in critical condition with bullet wounds in the abdomen is Robert White. 27, also of River- side.

Riverside Police Chief Bryce Monag-han said all available evi- dence indicates Mowry did the shooting. .

FIND BODY IN SHED

Mowry’s body was discovered in a small shed at the rear of the Thompson home. He had appar- ently died from self-inflicted bul- let wounds in the head. In the kitchen police found the Thomp- sons.

All three had died from bullet wounds, apparently inflicted by a .30-.30 calibre rifle found beside Mowry.

Mr. Thompson had been shot

‘ a neighbor,

through the heart. '

Police said there was no sign of a struggle.

Mowry was a son-in-law of the Thompsons. He and his Wife Kathleen had been estranged since last May.

UNDER SEDATION

Under sedation at the home of Mrs. Mowry told police she had intended to call them Tuesday to ask their protec- tion. She declined to elaborate, however.

White, who is not expected to live, was the son of Mrs. Rudy White, another daughter of the Thompsons, who also lived with her parents.

ENDORSED BY MINISTER

0n Maryh 17. 1956 fluoridation was recommended on the floor of the local House by the Minister of Health, Dr. M.L. Bonnell. At that time Dr. Bonneil said. “As in all measures designed to improve the health of the people. the Government supports the policy of fluoridating of municipal water supplies.“

He added that the Department's Division of Dental Health and Sanitary Engineering were willing to assist with planning projects and the necessary supervision.

In a release made public last month. the Minister repeated his personal endorsement of this project in even stronger terms.

Three months ago the present City Council unanimously approv- ed fluoridation and asked the Commissioners to install the nec- essary equipment forthwith.
