Edward Moxey, president of the B.C, Pure iFoods Guild, seems typical: "Fluoridation of public water {supply is a violation of demo- leratic rights because people who don't want to take it can't javoid it." | He also uses another argu- jment--that fluoride is a cumu- jlative poison which hardens bones as well as teeth. | Brantford has been the sub- \Ject of a continuing federal | study. A study of tooth decay jrates was made in Moose Jaw, iSask., in 1952, the year before \fluoridation began there. Seven years later a survey indicated a reduction in tooth decay rang- ling between 25 per cent in the loldest group of children and 60 jper cent in the youngest. | The experience was similar jin naturally fluoridated Aylmer, /Ont., which was compared with {non-fluoridated St. Thomas, Ont. Two years after fluoridation jwas started in 1955 in Brandon, Man., a survey showed a marked decrease in tooth decay. An Ontario government com- mittee studying fluoridation re- ported last year that it found, among other things: 1 . 4 + Tie presence: of fluoride in the recommended concentration does not cause corrosion of water mains, pipes and fittings nor does it affect jadversely in any way industrial jbe extremely serious--may not, be apparent. for some time." Dr. J. C. Bouillon, Montreal's supervisor of dental hygiene, says the big stumbling block is "massive public indifference." "It has become a matter of educating the public. Unfortu- nately, dental care is something that does not impress the public much." Fluoridation has been ap- proved in plebiscites held at Whitby, Renfrew and Streets- ville in Ontario, Athabasca, Coaldale, Fort Saskatchewan, Leduc, St. Albert, Ralston and Cold Lake RCAF base in Al- berta, and Kamloops in B.C.

Some young people break off their schooling to escape discipline, but Carole Anne Innes and Margot Gooder quit because school didn't leave them time to practise it The girls are trim and grace- ful students of ballet. Carole Anne is 17, and Margot 18, but they already feel their best op- portunity in the art lies in Eng- land, and they plan to leave together next fall. Both girls formerly had ideas of going to university but de- cided that school and ballet don't mix. "You can't do well in both," said Carole Anne. "You can't train seriously if; you're going to chool," said) Margot. "If you're going to) make a career of ballet, you can't go on to university." Margot finished her senior matriculation n Calgary last year, and her parents left the university question up to her CROWDED SCHEDULE Carole Anne said her home- work "just went." She had four dancing classes a week and "q| could never get it done." She also had to find time for| keep-fit classes, evening recre-| ation classes for children aged) ® to 12, and rehearsals for a) ring musical comedy produc-| on. | Margot teaches nursery clas-| ges each morning, ballet in the) afternoon, and "sometimes" | practises. She also had fitness classes, and rehearsals for |three amateur musicals, for one fof which she was. choreo- | grapher. Both feel that all this work will have been worth it if they jcan get to London. Once there, they plan to operate as free- lance dancers "That way, we can go to the jbest classes in verything," |said Margot. "We can have the best teachers, since we will go to one school for jazz, another for character. and another ballet."
