(Oshawa Times Photo) Fluoridation Pleas Refused By Government TORONTO (CP)--The Ontario government served notice in the legislature Thursday that it will reject all applications to fluori- date water supplies. Premier Frost said the ban will apply even if the residents of the community concerned approve fiuoridation in a plebiscite. He said "this legislature is su- preme." The seven communities that now have fluoridation would be permitted to keep it and Health Minister Dymond indicated they will be used as a proving ground for a continuing provincial study.

"If Studebaker can embark on a small car project in Canada, why can't the big three do the same?" he asked. "At least the Lark is assembled here." Importation of American-built smail cars was violently protest- ed at two meetings in the United Auto Workers Hall Thursday.

The elective group replaced the hereditary chiefs when the fed- eral government recamped the Indian Act 35 years ago. Chief Logan's son said: 'The chiefs are satisfied that the rev- olution is a success. , , WRITE TO QUEEN Twenty of the chiefs, resplen- dent in feathers and bucksin, met immediately and sent letters to Queen Elizabeth and Prime Minister Diefenbaker notifying them that the reserve and its 6,000 residents were no longer a part of Canada. A message to President Eisen- hower asked that a March 19 meeting be held to 'discuss treaties between our nations." The drive for recognition of the new Indian nation hit an earlv snag when H. M.
