Water Fluoridation

A strong delegation has waited upon the City Water Commission- ers, urging the merits of fluorida- tion of our civic water supply as a sound health measure in reducing tooth decay in children. The delega- tion was representative of our five Home and School Associations in Charlottetown and was Supported

by the superintendent of public schools, the vice president of the Medical Society, the registrar 01

the Dental Association, the head of the division of dental public health and the director of sanitary en- gineering.

The Water Commissioners hav- ing indicated that they have an open mind on the question, and are seeking further information, this opportunity has been taken by pub- lic spirited citizens who have made it their business to study the issue solely from the standpoint of Char- 1ottetown's health interests. Their advisers are men professionally qualified to give advice, and their views on the subject are fully in aocord with the majority opinion expressed in a resolution passed by the City Council.

The Commissioners now have something to work on in roming.to a decision, and have indicated their intention of investigating the mat- ter stiill further. This is the right course to take, as they would be negligent in their duty if they failed to consider every phase of the ques- tion.

They would be negligent too, we suggest, if they attempted to side- step their responsibility by making this a matter for decision by plebis- cite. This has been tried in some centres, and is advocated here in some quarters. But what value would such a plebiscite have? The general public has not the informa- tion at its disposal to judge in such matters, and demagogues wh 0 would argue otherwise would prob- ably be the finst to go to a physic- iah when they were ill, or to a lawyer when they were in legal dif- ficulties. They certainly would not decide the matter by calling for a show of hands among their friends and acquaintances.

This is a medical question. just as much as smallpox vaccination or diphtheria inoculation - h e n l t it measures which we take for griml- ed now but which met with hitie: opposition and would ncver have been adopted by popular votc. To- day, yes; the vote would he over- whelming because the public now is in a position to judge of the bone- ficial effects of these advances. The duty of our elected representatives in the fluoridation issue is equally plain. As Edmund Burke said long

. ago to the electors of his own con- situency, "Your representative owes you. not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays in- stead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your opinion.” That. is a sound principle of responsible govern- ment. as well as common sense.

It may be that other delegations will have other views to present t.o the Water Commission. If so, let them speak. Let them show their credentials and give their reasons. and by all means let the Commis- lion hear them patiently and con- scientiously. In the final analysis it is our elected authorities that must 'act, and they must do so with full responsibility to our citizens

Lively Farm Meeting

.. Friday night's meeting of the Queen's County Federation of Agri- culture was a lively, one, the con- troversial issue being the personnel of the, Potato Marketing Board.- nbont which strong opinions were

not to be expected, but perhaps there will be closer harmony as a result of the free expressions of opinion which characterized the meeting. It is a good old demo- cratic tradition. both in parliaments and in organizations such as the Agriculture Federation, to have a lively opposition on issues of major concern. In this case, while the matter was freely debated, the meeting evidently did not consider it advisable to deal with the subject in its resolutions.

Many other questions of inter est and importance were discussed. and lmany constructive sugges tions were offered with regard not only to the potato industry but to other phases of agriculture. It was indeed one of the best meetings the Federation has held. Among other things it was urged, by resolution. that the Uniform Time Act be amended at the next session of the Legislature to make it more en- forccable. The Federation strongly favors the retention of Standard Time. It is well known that the municipalities. on the other hand. favor Daylight Time during the summer months. It is for the Gov- ernment to determine this point, but while we have a Uniform Time Act on the statutes there is no question but that it should be en- forced. If the Act is unworkable. it should be amended in such a man- ner as to make it acceptable to the Legislature, which is directly re- sponsible to the people for its act- ions.

It is strange that this issue, to which attention was called by the Federation at the last session of the House, received no consideration from either side either during the session or in the subsequent elec- tion campaign. It is rumoured in- deed that there was a "gen-tle'men's agreement" among the candidates not to bring it up. If this be so, it is not at all to the credit. of those who participated in it. Our mem- bers have the duty of dealing with this matter, and they cannot side- step their responsibility indefinite- 'ly without bringing the Legislature and our whole system of govern- ment into disrepute.

Indian Government officials are said to be confident that national prohibition can be enforced for the simple reason that only a small fraction of the population is in thr- habit of drinking. The argument may be sound; but the experience of other countries which have tried the experiment is that, in some in- stances, legislative b an n l n g of alcohol has the curious effect of creating an appetite for it. Per- haps, however, the failing does not apply to Hindus.

started to rise in desolate Arctic wastes some 1.500 miles northwest of Edmonton. Canada's gateway to the north.

Ground was broken this summer and early autumn at the new 500- scre site for Aklavik. now located on a delta on the west bank of the Mackenzie river 70 miles south of the Arctic ocean.

Aklavik. an Eskimo word mean- ing place of the black bear. is to be moved to the east channel of the MacI(enzie about 33 miles east of the present site and linked with the outside world by an airport. The move is necessary because melting permafrost turns Aklavik's terrain into a quagmire in summer. PRELIMINARY WORK

F. J. G. Cunningham, director of the northern administration and lands branch of the northern sf- fairs department, said in an inter- view that the 1955 season was I year of preparation for the new community.

He estimated that the-new Akin- vik may some day have a year- round population of 5.000. eight times that of the present 96-acre settlement. The four-year building

job and the moving of salvageable structures from the present site will cost about 310,000,000.

Aklavik. about 120 miles inside the Arctic circle. is to be moved to prevent it from sinking deep into the permafrost and eventually being engulfed by the Mackenzie. It is the biggest community in the Canadian Arctic.

The permzifrnst on which .lkla- vik is located consists of equal pro- portions of silt and ice cry:.'ial. Once the protective moss covcring is removed lhc heat of summer and ground warmth created by buildings turns the pcrma frost into mud. preventing the construc- tion of wzitrr and sewage facili- ties, foundnlums for buildings. roads or an air -trip.

The next presidential election is still almost a year away but the voters of the United States are al. ready witnessing some of the nu. poi-tant preliminary events. -For many months the greatest political activity will be evident within rath- er than between. the two parties. The choosing of candidates is a matter in which the citizens are consulted and appealed to on s for grander scale than ever occur: in Canada. In many States prim- ary elections are held, in which the selection of a party's standard bearer is made by the rank and file of voters; later comes the of- flcial election in which on voting public chooses its office holders.

New Site For Aklavik

By John E. Bird anadizn

Press Slif

A 20th - century community has '

r

place in the summers of 1957 and i958. Outside labor will be brought in to help build the sewage, water and heating systems and construct schools, a hospital. an administra- tion building and other necessary structures.

During the winters of 1957 and 1958 salvageable buildings will be moved from the present site to their new foundations by sledge. The moving job itself will rust about 5500.000.

It is expected that piping for water. sewage and heating systems will be laid above ground.

SITES FOR AIRSTRIP

Three possible sites are being considered by the transport de- partment for the air strip. It likely will be built about 436 miles south- east of the community.

Mr. Cunningham said a study of the soil shows that it will be pos- sible to grow vegetables, flowers and forage crops in areas adjacent to the new townsite. Agriculture department officials will report in January on exact agricultural possibilities. . -

The small homes for Iative oc- cupation are designed on the prin- ciple of the Eskimo igloo. They measure 16 by 28 feet and have s closed-in porch which blocks cold air from entering through the nngle doorway. The interior is di- vided lnto one large all-purpose room and two bedrooms. Each home will have a chemical toilet.

The homes are built on skids to permit them to be moved to new locations. The foundation is a thick pad of sandy gravel placed di- rectly over the moss, insulating the permafrost.

The gravel-pad principle also is being applied in the construction of roads and other buildings. How- ever, an additional foundation is provided for buildings which are on permanent sites.

POLES FOR FOUNDATION

I The foundation consists of a ser- ies of 30-foot poles driven into the permafrost, where they freeze sol- idly. The building rests on the butts of the poles which are out about a foot above ground.

The small houses will be used by construction crews in 1956. 1957 and I958 and then sold to natives. They are so designed that they can be placed together, to form a large bunkhousc.

Mr. Cunningham said each costs about 35.000. Before they are sold lh-xv will be depreciated in value luv 81.000. the amount it would cost in build hunkhnuses for workers.

Most of the natives who will need the houses will be employed for lhc next three years in the con- struction program. They will re- ('0IVl' an average wage of about 31 50 an hour and will be asked to earmark half of this as a down payment. V x

"We expect that by the time the construction program is ' f the balance owing on each homo will be between 81,110 and 01,500," Mr. Cunningham said. "Arrangi- ments will be made for the na- tives to pay off this debt oven a period of six to 12 years."

likely that they would face an Eis- enhower-led Republican party then were fewer contestants!

However public opinion polls. which are not always unreliable, have been indicating great popular- ity for Stevenson for a long time. He now appears to enjoy greater support among the voting public than all the other potential Demo- cratic candidates combined. This, yet there is a very good prospect that he will be the winner there too. Within hours after his an- nouncement promises of support came from all over the country- The "Deep South". at one time cool to his candidacy now appears al- most solidly in his favor. Among Congressmen. state governors, and party officiaidom he is far more of course, does not mean the some thing as,a majority' of delegates at the party's national convention; strongly entrenched than in 1952.

in the United States it is not often that an unsuccessful .pre- sid-entiai aspirant is ever given a second chance. The gifted orator William Jennings Bryan was long the great exception to this unwrit- lcn rule. He tried for the nation's highest office on three occasions, always without success. Much lat- er the Republicans sent Thomas Dewey into a second round in 1948 when it seemed likely the Demo- crais were on the way out. Dewey failed in his second bid. In Stev- ' ensonls case his first candidacy is one of his greatest assets. Eva against Eisenhower and at s time when the Democratic party was

EASING THE BURDEN OF SOME ILLNESSES

Kids get a treat when they go to the Children's Hospital of Phil- adelphia for urinary tract X-rays.

Drs. John W. Hope and Fran- cisco Campey are using carbon- ated beverages in the picture tak- ing.

Children are given nothing to eat for ten to twelve hours prior to the visit to the hospital. Upon their arrival. zi preliminary X-ray is taken.

OVERLAYING SHADOWS

Then the youngsters are given from six to 12 ounces of a bever- age. Generally, within 15 minutes to half an hour, the gas had dis- tended the stomach enough to push away from the kidneys all over- laying shadows And a clear pict- ure is made.

The method does not work on youngsters over the age of eight.

If you are like most of us. you don't chew hard enough, say two Columbia University dentists.

Drs. Hands H. Neumnnn and Nicholas A. Di Salvo report that chewing tough. solid food prob- ably will help prevent dental decay better than our modern balanced diets.

4-: Teeth depend upon frequent de-

pression and a stress of about 150 pounds to reisit decay, the dept- ists report. Modern meals. although nutritious, seldom call for more than 50 pounds of pressure. they say.

From their point of view, Drs. Neumann and Di Salvo say that a "hero sandwich" is just about ideal-

And what is a "hero sand- wich?" They describe it as "a giant-size sandwich made from an entire loaf of crusty Italian bread." Seems to me your jaws would get pretty tired!

Arthritis sufferers throughout the country may be interested in a self-help device center opened re- cently in New York to assist them in returning to an independent life despite their handicaps.

A self-help device may be any- thing frnm a simple hook to zip up a pair of shoes to a specially designed chair to permit employ- ment of a crippled arthritic.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

M. S.: I am in my late forties and am suffering from poor bladder control. What can be done for this condition?

Answer: There are many causes for incontinence of the urine, such as paralysis of the baldder. injury to the spinal cord and chronic disease of the kidneys.

Since the type of treatmt varies in each case, a thorough physical examination is neces- sary to determine the source of the difficulty before treatment an be canted out.

discredited after twenty years in office, Stevenson won over twenty- seven million votes-far more than) most successful candidates have ever captured. For the past three years Steven- ison, although without any public office, has kept himself in the pub- lic eye and been recognized as the unofficial head of his party. He has famlliarized himself with many domestic issues. has travelled wide ly and broadened his understand- ing of foreign affairs. In the im- portant Congressional elections of 1954 he campaigned vigorously and increased his stature before the party and public- Today he stands as the Democrat most likely to win independent voters and to re- capture the allegiance of many peo- ple who voted for Eisenhower in 1952
