C. Burgess, a research associ- ate of the faculty of dentistry, University of Toronto and a biochemist, told a meeting of St. Matthew’s United Church Women Tuesday evening of last week. “In olden days people prized their teeth highly," the speaker stated “because when they lost them they had nothing left to chew with. If there weren't such things as dentures the benefits of preserving teeth would be obvious to all who had lost teeth." “Perhaps we no longer consider them so important" he suggested "but they are important to these children," indicating a chart which was on display. This chart con- tained casts of the teeth of 50 children in Palmerston indicating lost teeth, fillings and cavities and an equal number from Mount Forest. Palmerston is a non-fluoride area and Mount Forest mun- icipal water contains 1.2 mil- ligrams of natural fluoride. The speaker noted it was perfectly obvious what has resulted due to the presence of fluoride in water. Dr. Burgess said that in any group will be found a small section with a negative attitude. “It is inevitable that some people will op- pose any proposal and I firmly believe more on emo- tional grounds than on logic." He noted that such objectives were made to oth- mumInulmluuumumuuuumnummmunnmunmuuummlu A large turnout of mem- bers and prospective mem- bers highlighted the Nov- ember 17 regular meetlng of Richmond Hill Coln Club. Total enrolment has now reached 54 which Is I long way from the six orl- llnal hack in July. The club‘s second auction. in which King George V and large cents proved very popular, was most success- ful. Coins in the auction in- cluded a 1960 proof-like set. an 1870 quarter in ex- tra line condition, an 1886 extra tine Canadian dime and an 1898 dime. These coins alone are in the $150 range. The draw for a 1964 Denver minted Kennedy hail dollar in uncircuiated condition was won by Bill Grimshaw who_ purchased the first ticket sold. Members are reminded to submit their design for a medal which will be struck for the coin club. The de- sign must include a re- verse and observe and should be submitted to President B. Deighton at the Dec. 15 meeting. Nom- ination will be held at this meeting for the secretary to assist present secretary- treasurer who will become treasurer. This extra offi- cer is needed because of the expanding membership. Also on hand will be a prominent numismatist, Kenneth Bunnett, who will give a short talk and dis- play on token collecting. As the auctions are proving very popular it seems they will have to be a permanent feature of the club. Remember â€" December 15 It 8 pm.

It So, See The Used Cars Column in The Classifieds er desirable health measures such as vaccination, inocu- lations, pasteurization of milk and iodine in salt. In contrast Dr. Burgess re- ported that many scientists have had in the last few years occasion to look very closely into the question of fluoridation. “I believe their claimed results are true. with a reported reduction of tooth decay in children up to six years old of around 70%." He stated that many studies attest to at least 50% reduc- tion in tooth decay. “I really believe it is effective," he stated. Reporting on other meth- ods of introducing fluoride into a child's system be men- tioned a school milk pro- gram which could cost $200 per child over a 10 year per- iod. contrasting this with a cost of $8 for a lifetime of fluoridation. Other programs included tablets at school, which proved effective, but Dr. Burgess noted that by the time the child gets to school baby teeth are al- ready decayed and 50% of the benefit has been thrown away. Fluoride added to salt pro- vided almost no beneficial ef- fect he said, pointing out that children don't add free salt to their food as adults do. Intake can vary greatly from child to child. Milk also leads to variation in dosage as one child may drink many times what another will, but water consumption by chil- dren over a year is quite un- iform, it has been found.

Election Day â€" Saturday, December 5 Sound MAYOR FOR 1965 Dr. Burgess told the group he uses tablets at home to give his children this essen- tial nutrient to make their bodies strong but finds it difficult to remember to ad- minister the daily dose and was not too fond of having fluoride tablets around the house. He freely admitted that they can be poisonous if taken in too large num- bers. He went on to note that many other things in our diets are helpful if taken in the right amount but pois- onous in too great a quantity. Among those mentioned which can be harmful were copper, iron and Vitamin D. He reported no higher in- cidence of any disease has been found in areas where fluoride has been added to the water supply in areas where it has been used up to 30 years. This includes can- cer. stiffness of the spine, heart trouble and kidney trouble. He noted that the American Cancer Society has endorsed fluoride and that such a reputable organ- ization is not going to give endorsement to anything they feel is going to increase the incidence of that dis- ease Noting that no good alter- natives that are safe as well as effective are offered. he asked his audience to consid- er who has been claiming flu- oride is safe and effective, to consider if they are res- ponsible and have played a part in improving your health and if they can be trusted, in this instance, to Effective Says Researcher VOTE and is determined that the 1965 council must give On the question of civil rights he noted that every- one tends to react against compulsion but asked voters to consider whether it is bet- ter for society to accept com- pulsion because it is going to help children and save them from suffering. “In this case" he said “I think we can waive any threat to our rights by accepting fluoridaâ€" tion. It has a beneficial ef- fect and has never been shown to be harmful. Fluorâ€" idation of the water supply In a question and answer period Dr. Burgess reported that water softeners will not remove fluoride. He stated that National Research Coun- cil scientists often quoted as opposing the addition of flu- oride to water supplies are in the dairy science departâ€" ment and are not biochem- ists. He had read the quoted statement in “The Lancet", had also read the irticle of which this was a review and found in it no reference to the statement. He noted that a huge mass of scientists in Canada and throughout the world have completely en- dorsed the program. Cid health. is the most economical and safest way to ensure strong healthy teeth for children." Asked if a child could drink too much water and‘ become poisoned, Dr. Bur- gess noted it would require at least 250 times the daily dosage. which is based on a quart a day. Therefore he would have to consume 250 quarts of water in a single the experience and the time to be your experience who can be trusted to tDecember Change Of LVaughan Tp. Meetings Vaughan Council will hold its next meeting December 7 fol- lowing a committee meeting De- cember 2. Schedule of next month’s meetings have been shuffled to allow for elections December 12 and the following meetings will be December 21 and December 30 at 4 pm. Committee meet- ings will be held December 16 and December 30. Asked if fluoride accumu- lates in the body he replied that it goes into mineralized tissue, teeth and bone but not into the digestive tract. At the start of the century he reported seven million Americans were benefitting from fluoridation. Now 55 million have been receiving it for an entire generation. Fluoridation should be in the water supply for one year before eruption of any tooth to reap the full benefit, he said. He told another ques- tioner there doesn't appear to be any benefit to adults who have lived in a low-fluoride area and receiving adequate fluoride for the first time. uly Asked if' good dietary ha- bits and good oral hygiene are not as effective in com- bating tooth decay he re- plied in the negative, but stated that these combined with fluoridation make the chances that cavities will not occur much more probable.
