Year after year, however, the evidence in favor of fluoridation has been accumulating. A growing num-’ ber of communities have tried it and proven its beneficial effects. It has the support of practically every medi- cal and dental organization on the
' continent, and there is no doubt that in time it will become universally ac- cepted, as vaccination and inoculation are accepted today as necessary pre- cautionary measures in the fight against disease. These measures, too, met with bitter opposition when first
' introduced, and for some years there- Me = :
In the meantime, it is saddening to reflect.on the number of children who are deprived of the benefits of fluoridation, and for whom its intro- duction, when it comes, will come too late. This is. what prompted Health Minister Henry Wedge‘to speak out'so' strongly in the Legislature on the subject the other day. “The teeth of

Also it-has demanded more infor- mation on the financial activities of the Industrial Corporation for which more borrowing power -has been sought, on fishermeén’s loan -details, and other. matters of public concern. The Government has given its reasons for -not. complying with. theses demands, and they may be perfectly valid ones. But the Opposition’s right to present them is equally valid. .
Supporters of the party in power would do well to attend to their own knitting, and let the Opposition do what it can to keep the Government on its toes. Frankly we'd like to see it a little more aggressive than it has shown itself to be. It may be its last chance before that election the Pre- mier says he isn’t thinking about, but which .could be right around the corner just the same.

voted to participation of Canadian private industry in the big fair. Gov- ernments of one sort or another will contribute:the bulk of Expo expendi- tures, it maintains, and U.S. corpora- tion subsidiaries will’ pick up much of the remainder. Canadian com- panies for the most part are dis- couraged by “high costs, lack of
direct opportunities; early bumbling—
by Expo officials, and an unjustified cynicism that, being Canadian, the _show won’t.go on.”

It has been argued in the Legisla: ture, with some heat, that the Op- position should be more constructive in its criticism of the Government. Mr. Pearson, we note, has been lec-

Sir,—On several trips to P.E.I. -these last two years I have been very much taken with the natural beauty of the whole Island and always look forward to making’ the.next vis- . it. I would like, however, to make a couple of suggestions. This is the Cradle of Confedera- tion as well as a terrific tourist area: would it-not be possible to put on a real promotion in get-

too much talk and too little ac- tion is enlarged upon. In his re-
