Downgrading water The Acton Free Wednesday Oct 1978 Job counselling program underway three months A program to help welfare currently receiving general for work That a Tidey Ave Hills Acton Ont 1V6 The Editor Acton Free Press Acton Dear Mrs Dills This letter is being written in response to your request in lost issue of the Free Press for opinions re the matter or the treatment of our local supply of water with fluoride I personally agree with your own stand on this matter It seems to me that along with fluoride in our toothpaste we receive enough fluoride from our food intake to provide all that we need for our physical welfare On the other hand I regret very much the An autumn scene by Mrs Annie Gates As I look out my window On the warmer side you guessed The beauty is stupendous We in Ontorio are blessed With the landscape that is Beyond the words of man Only the eye can absorb The intricacy of mother nature plan The gold and bronze and scarlet Enhanced by evergreen It takes all manner of species To complete this wondrous scene A silvery frost has touched the grass That been so verdant green September rain gave back the life To an arrid land we had seen We must have a voice downgrading of Acton scaler supply by the present strong taste of iron In it Surely there is some way by which this can be neutralized by treatment at the source of supply Why should we have to resort to treatment of it in our homes Through past years we have lived In nine different communities running all the way from to Toronto In that time we listed Mount Forest and Acton as the places favoured with good water Among the worst were Hanover and Mount Hope Now we have to class Acton with the two last named communities Is this an other penalty we have to suffer along with regional government A wholesome drink of water is a priceless thing We find that the taste of iron stays v ith us now even in our tea which we used to enjoy so much Respectfully yours A Walter A story of Gods love October is a fickle time The golden sunlight gleams And dances round in and out Long shadows from the trees One day comes rain and adds weight to autumn s glory gown A breeze arrives to tease the leaves And sends them fluttering down Where the corn so stately stood In this late summer past A mellow brown the soil now lies I loughed by the four furrowed fast the stubble showed Today it furrowed brown The leaves are skipping with he wind Caught in the ridges down The Acton Free Press Letter to the Editor It seems that we in Acton have grown apathetic believing that regional council will make its decision whether we are in agreement or not But not so we must still have a voice in something that concerns directly I refer to the proposal to fluoride Acton water supply If the majority here do not want this then we should protest vigorously The dentists applaud fluoridation but surely our bodies are made up of more than teeth Why should we all including many who wear dentures have to this possibly harmful substance when children can have the treatment given in a dentist office Perhaps because some of us are troubled with gout we could have the medication for that added to the woter for all it would make is much sense Let us have some letters pro and con on this matter some interest is shown we can at least have a plebiscite and a chance to refuse this costly foolishness J Mosaics 16
