Tho Acton Press Wednesday Aug 30 iSiSS Fluoridated water While there is likely little doubt now that fluoride in water can aid m strengthening teeth it does not follow that placing fluoride in water supplies is automatically the right thing to do It has been proposed by region Health and Services committee that a fluoridation bylaw be en acted to fluoridate water Acton and Milton These are the only two towns the region without add ttional fluoridation But have long assumed that the fluoride content our natural water supply was good So we were told years ago However chemical analysis done last spring indicates this isnt so Our level of fluoride is well be low that recommended Perhaps the recommended dose has changed over the years Its something voters would want to Miltomans held a vote in on the question and turned thumbs down on fluoride three to one It seems ridiculous that to give the people of Acton and Milton the right to decide on their own water content the vote must be taken over the entire region of A negative vote it is suggested would force the region to dis continue fluoridation in Georgetown Burlington and A positive vote would force Acton and Milton to have their supplies fluoridated If that s the law them as some early wit suggested the law is an ass It should be changed Buses trains needed At a time when the population of southwestern Ontario is growing steadily it seems unreasonable that public transportation should be diminished The bus service from Acton to Toronto is due to be cut and pas are rightly concerned Surely the time is ripe for proved transportation not decreased service The use of private cars is growing at a downright hazardous rate Traffic in Toronto is dous Public transportation must be provided and promoted It must be good It must be frequent Of course what we would like to see here is the GO tram running regularly say every hour from Toronto to Guelph Any people who travel to Britain see the great ad vantage of the regular train service there Since the railways abandoned passengers the Gray Coach ser vice through town has been good Now it is called GO bus service Officials say GO buses here are in some cases duplications They also point out is not that Brampton They will of course continue to provide GO bus service to connect with the early morning and dinnertime commuter GO trains at Georgetown Just which later buses will be cut from the Acton schedule is not yet known There are many people available to ride public transportation and the reasons many dont are varied But more and more people are becoming fed up with city traffic and the expense of cars and will turn to good dependable public service Bad language deplored Sometimes the language at the ball park sickens me an umpire of the industrial Softball league said recently Theres no need for it he said suggesting it was time the league acted to clean language up He said he wasnt upset by the abuse directed at him but the bad language of some players left him cold The umpire was right There is no need for bad language at ball games any more than there is anywhere Policing it however is another matter It is difficult to control what people say especially in the heat of an athletic contest If players and rabid fans only knew the effect they have on other spectators with their use of four letter words and appeals to the Deity they might consider before they open their mouths It is disgusting does nothing for the game and the person who uses it Something to sneeze about Some Canadians have something to sing about others something to shout about And at this time of year a lot of Canadians have some thing to sneeze about That something is ragweed pollen the number one enemy of hay fever sufferers Agriculture

conditioned make sum driving more bearable But pollution can pose a special pro blem Take an experiment done in fie Ten passenger ears were driven four miles through the downtown of a city The windows of the cars were shut tight and the air conditioners on The driver of a control car made the same trip with the windows wide open and no air conditioning The results were a surprise Carbon monoxide levels inside the airconditioned cars climbed up and up during the drive As more of the gas entered the con fined space it was not passed out fast enough By the end of the trip levels were four to eight times higher than at the beginning Way above acceptable standards for permissible levels in the ambient air And the control car With the windows wide open high levels of carbon monoxide inside the car were noted at two stop Otherwise levels were markedly lower than those in the air con ditionedcars According to the Lung Associa tion carbon monoxide is a color less odorless gas that literally bumps oxygen out of your red blood cells The effects of this oxygen loss can cause dizziness and headaches and with extremely high levels even death Lower levels can interfere with driving perfor mance disrupt the ability to judge time intervals and slow down reactions to brightness including tailhghts Drivers who feel tired or listless may want to open windows and shut off the airconditioning for awhile Theres a good chance therell be less carbon monoxide in theoutsideair This interesting information comes from the local Lung Assoc iation the Halton Lung Assoc iation They
