What emerges here is a reverse twist on a situaâ€" tion which more often finds elected personages sloughing off their responsibilities on administrative civil servants. Such action is consgidered "not cricket" in a democracy. It is no more forgiveable in reverse. One procedure which might have been adopted b{ the Councilâ€"and the suggestion is offered with all the aplomb of the sideline rooter who doesn‘t have to do any of the bleeding when the play goes wrongâ€" would have been to arrange for a public meeting beâ€" tween the Conservation Authority officials, the fan?- owner concerned and the residents of the aream in which the park is located. And let them go to ft. From the sidelinesâ€"and grandstand quarterâ€" backs should be discounted rather heavily in these situations as in all othersâ€"it would appear that the Council should never have been required to sit in judgment on the matter. The Conservation Authority were the "true beâ€" getters" of this particular problem child. In an unâ€" derstandableâ€"though not necessarily laudableâ€" effort to simplify their administrative job in respect to valley lands, they became involved in the land e}xlch;nge proposal. And the snowball started down the hill. ; + Nevertheless, the members of the Council were saddled with the onus of determining which of the alternative courses open to them was the most equitâ€" able all around. On balance ,the decision was both fair and senâ€" sible. Judged by the standard of "the greater good of the greater number", the Council was justified. There was no question of responsibility for the situaâ€" tion in which the landowner involved found himself. It is a matter of record that the existing "landâ€" locked" status of his property is the result of previous sales of land by the owner. Onlookers, but far from being merely curious spectators, were the residents in the neighborhood of the park. Concerned for their recreation area, they wanted assurances that whatever solution was deâ€" vised to the problem would not affect the park; so concerned, in fact, that they preferred to oppose any change whatever. So, the issue came to the Council for a second time. Previously the councillors had declined to coâ€" operate in the land exchange and had made a counterâ€" offer to purchase the strip of land at the rear of the park; they had asked the Conservation Authority to use its good offices in behalf of the town to make the purchase possible. And this time there was that indication of the feeling of the public â€" the opinion of those who vote in elections â€" in the shape of a signed petition. The Council then reâ€"affirmed its previous deciâ€" sion ; councillors would not vote to facilFi)tate the land exchange suggested by the Authority. Then there volved in the pr Presently owning to permit constri standably unhapy; everybody happy On hearing of the proposal, residents of the area in the vicinity of the park were concerned lest a precedent for shuffling park space around might be established if they sat still for the change. So a petition was circulated which pledged the signers to oppose any "sale or exchange of existing park land". More than 250 signatures were affixed to the petiâ€" tion. C At this point there were a sizeable number of actors in the plav. First there were the Conservaâ€" tion Authority officials who were anxious to foreâ€" stall a protest against expropriation of the lowlands by aiding. theâ€"owner in a solution of his tableland problem. It is reasonable to imagine that the Auâ€" (tiholrity conceived itself as an "honest broker" in the eal. Just to keep the record straight, let it be noted that the suggested landâ€"shuffle would have resulted in no loss of actual park space. The proposal, in which the Conservation Authority was acting as middleâ€" man, really provided for a small net gain in acreage for the park. The strip of land along one edge of the park was to be exchanged â€" in a rather roundâ€" about way, to be sure â€" for a slightly larger strip along another edge of the park. ‘ So much for the tangible data in the situation. From here on it gets much more complicated, with all the side issues mentioned earlier coming into play. It seems that the Metro Conservation Authority, concerned with preservation of the Humber valley lands, came across a situation where the owner of such lowlands asked the Authority to mediate in a proposal to Weston municipal authoritiee which would provide for a shuffling around of some highâ€" level table land to rectify a rather tangled state of affairs involving the highland acreage. With all the mumboâ€"jumbo squeezed out of the issue, the situation resolved itself into a relatively uncomplicated problem with far too many side effects. Right in the middle of the whole setup was a small park in a district where no other park land exists. One of those problems which make insurance actuaries shy away from rating municipal councillors â€"and delight the sellers of headache remediesâ€"was a topic of consideration at the last meeting of Weston Council.

If Mr. Stevenson had been listening more closely he would have learned that the lurid American literature he referred to was the propâ€" erly documented book, "The American Flurodation Exâ€" periment," by F. B. Exner, M.D., and G. L. Waldbott, M.D. Both are members in good standing of the Ameriâ€" can Medical Association and recognized by that organizaâ€" tion as being experts on fluoridation. Dr. Exner gradâ€" uated from Carleton Colâ€" lege, Northfield, Minnesota, in 1921 and from the medical school of the University of Minnesota in 1927. He has taught chemistry and physics, taken postâ€"graduate work in physical _ chemistry, bioâ€" statisties, _ radiology _ and pathology. He is in active practice in Seattle, Washingâ€" ton, as an xâ€"ray diagnostician and therapist. Dr. Waldbott is a graduate of the Uniâ€" versity of Heidelburg, Gerâ€" many, and interned at Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit. He established allergy clinics in four Detroit hospitals, is en the staff of Harper and Women‘s Hospital there and operates his own private allergy clinic as well, He has published more than 125 medical papers.

We respect the right of any person to form an opinion on any subject and voice that opinion without being subâ€" jected to persorial abuse from us. â€" Proâ€"fluoridationists _ do not have such a code of ethics. The leading advocate of fluoridation in Canada is Dr. Gordon Bates, general direcâ€" tor of the Health League of Canada. Although he was in the audience he did not speak on behalf of fluoridation at the Ontario Fluoridation Inâ€" vestigation Committee hearâ€" ings. Thus we could not question him. He questioned some of the laymen, includâ€" ing myself, but none of our dental or medical experts. It is recognized that diet plays a very important part in tooth decay. It is hardly probable that Mr. Stevenâ€" son‘s ancestors ate the soft, weakened foods that are generally consumed today. They most likely ate fresh local produce with a greater nutritional value. Also they probably drank unpasteurizâ€" ed milk. Pasteurizing milk, while making it safer for human consumption, destroys the _ enzyme â€" phosphatase which is necessary for maxiâ€" mum assimilation of the calâ€" cium in the milk. It is unâ€" likely his ancestors ate many chocolate bars and drank many | soft drinks either. Futhermore, it is well known that some families have much tooth decay and others very little. . the DOWNSVIEW UNITED FOR THISTLETOWN T he Editor the 260â€"seat capacity of the Church corresponds exactly to the number of children registered in the Sunday School.
