Husbands and wives owe to each other the freedom of dis cussion and the freedom of shar ing in decisions. And parents owe to their children as they become able to understand, the oppor tunity to share in decisions as a training to make their own de cisions as responsibilities in crease. And growing young peo ple owe it to their parents and others in the family to be will* ing to put their interests into this sharing of decisions and rights. Where homes are dicta torships instead of democracies, there is no real freedom. Where rights are trampled or ignored at home, the persons victimised are poorly prepared for respon sible leadership. Where rights are not conditioned and discip lined by decisions cultivated in self-control, there is only loose ness and eelfishness, of which we have already more than enough. Undisciplined freedom means ut ter confusion. Much ot the widespread dis respect of every kind—disres pect for parents, disrespect for teachers, disrespect for law and order, disrespect for decent standards of conduct—grows out of homes where freedom has no •elMmpoted limitations. And if trends are to change for the bet ter, a vast number of homes must change their ideas of what free dom means. They must get the idea that homes are to develop and to demonstrate freedom that knows respect, dkcipline, and de cision, which alone can produce responsible citisenship. Let a final suggestion be of fered. Homes are tremendously important for cultivating a con cern that the freedom we de sire for ourselves be provided for all people, everywhere. In every nation of the world, in cluding our own, there is seething unrest as peoples of other nation alities and races and colors seek for dignity, and reepect, and op portunity which have been de nied them, In our homes where we realise how much each of us means to the others, and how much we desire for each other and expect of each other, we must un derstand that other families have the same feelings, We must, ss a part of our own freedom, choose to help them achieve a similar freedom—of dignity, and oppor tunity, and responsibility. Most unfortunate it it that within homes there ie so frequently an at titude of prejudice, or ridicule, or unconcern, toward other nation alities and races. As this attitude •pills over into communities and into nations, there is the increas ing of tensions to threaten the freedom of everybody everywhere. Right attitudes of concern for our- aelves, and also of concern for others, are basic to freedom, and theee are for our hornet to teach and to practice. So, freedom is up to you, not only in the home, but especially in the home. If we fail there, we have little chance of succeding elsewhere. THE FREEDOM TO WORK By KENNETH B. WILSON Pastor First Baptist Church Americans are guilty of taking for granted their freedom to work! Vaat portions of the world’s population do not know the priv- Sage of selecting their field of in vested labor and intereets. Their opportunities are either strictly limited or else the demands for certain product* of survival are so great that the masses become sub ject to forced employment. Not so in America! Here the individual ie bound only by lack of personal in itiative and unwillingness to pre pare for ’better things’ according to desire and capability. Because of this abounding free dom in our beloved country, we, the recipient* of a blood bought privilege, need to be reminded of several truths. First, we stand re minded that labor is honorable and dignified. In an Increasingly ma terialistic society, the quest for things has put too great an em phasis upon the end reeult of la bor. Due value needs to be re stored to the task of achievement and upon the development of par ticular abilities. The pay-check, per-hourly wage, the fringe bene fits—theee too often are the prime considerations of thf self- centered American citizen. What has happened to the trait calted “pride of workmanship?” Where are the “craftsmen”? Where are the artisans whose product sym bolises a way of life? Where are the professional men whose com munity standing is not one prim arily of esteemed position, but rather of realistic opportunity to be servants of the, people and molders of a better society? Labor is honorable and bestows a certain dignity of personality that can be attained in no other way than through the product of one’s harnds and mind. Very close to this is the idea that one’s work is an expression of one’s innermost being, revealing his personality. In the early days of the Industrial Revolution there developed certain ’giant indus trialists’ whose basic drive was not in management \hilities and their consequent t uneratlon. Theirs was not the recognition of tremendous privileges of employ ing masses and thus providing op portunity for skill development and putting meat upon the tables. Al\hough great mechanical strides revealed a certain type of prog ress, the total result ail too often was the degradation and depravity of the rich. Money, profits, in creased holdings . . . these caused the wealthy to oppress the poor, to take advantage of the employe by enforcing long hours and ab ominable working conditions up on men, women, and children alike. In spite of seeming prog ress, these were dark hours upon the Ume-record of man’s treat* ment of his fellowman. Here greed, selfishness and intolerance reduced freedom to a guarded word with very limited meaning for masses of people. With the swinging (if the pendu lum, we find that ’freedom to work’ is in much greater danger today than it ever was even dur ing the darkest hours of the revo lution. Rising to a much needed point, the organisation of labor stood up to management and de manded consideration for the ba sic rights of all men. Working conditions improved, profit shar ing and wage increases were granted, and a host of fringe benefits stand as monuments to the accomplishments of an earnest approach to the problem of labor management relations. However, the quest for power which drove the industrialist ever onward during the revolution has now been transmitted to the la bor movement. Greed, selfishness and Intolerance are all too fre quent attributes directly describ ing labor organisations today. Listen to the battle cry of the or ganiser — “More Money! Fewer Hoursl Greater Benefits! Extend ed Vacations!”—these are but a few of the seemingly justifiable slogans of the mid-20th century organiser. But again I would chal lenge you to ask, “Where is the freedom of labor in a forced 'closed shop'? Where is the ‘pride of workmanship’ that once re warded the laborer with long-term employment based upon ability rather than legal enforcement of some contract that breeds lack of Initiative and condones poor work manship? Where are the real con* tributions that many organisa tions could be making and thereby truly benefit their constituency, such as — Job training, craft schools, reward of personal ini tiative, and personality develop ment. It is in this area that one observant writer said, “the unions and their leaders . . . have grown big and strong without growing up.” A mature labor organization could well stand at the fork of a four-lane highway of provision for their members. They would have the choice of grave peril which through development of dangerous programs would lead to rule by force or mob control; or they might lead out into tremen dous avenues of liberating the cur rently bound hands of masses. “Power is peril if there is no soul to govern, no conscience to set limits, and no direction given.” Our American way of life stands threatened by the present thwart ing of the freedom to work which _ UAL (not corgbr- privilege. om to W or k to a true sense of worship.

There is no\freater word in our modern vocabulary than freedom. Our national pride stems very urgely from the fact that to us America is ’’the land of ths frss.” Deep within the nature of man there is something that revolts against any form of slavery. Ev* ery one of us has the instinctive feeling that we ought to be tet free. God has made u* that way, “For freedom has Christ set us free.” One of the baeic freedoms which we claim the right to exercise is freedom of commun others And not only denied be den to learn is rich centuri consi h: the right to own thought to vehicle of words. speech Includes ht to talk hut ths ‘he person who is to listen is also to learn, And to >ht to listen and out off from ths truth which ths boms.

Now, while this precious heri tage which we enjoy, the right to speak our minde> has come to us as a free igtft, there is a price which we must pay if we would preserve it* We must show our selves worthy of it by s wise and honest u«e of It, No man who would dare te> defend communism while speaking lightly of his country and the American way of life is worthy « of enjoying the freedom which has been purchas ed for him hti ao great a price. To make a physical assault upon one’s person is regarded as a crime and those who commit such an act are liable tq imprisonment. How much lest guilty is the person who thiougb , hatred and falsehood de liberately poleon* the minds of others, causing their personalities to become warped, twisted, mis shapen and prejudiced against things which C9ptribute to a hap py and hopeful life? If we want to continue to live in the light of liberty, we must walk in the truth, which alone can make men free and keep him free. FLUORIDATION,. . . (Continued ' from Page 1) either event ? ,, A. They would be objectionable to look at, of course. Q. But noyv, as I understand you to aay, from the use of fluor ide in the ratio of one part fluor ide to one million parts of water, there is no objectionable appear ance or discoloration? A. No, sir. Q. Would it be noticeabls to me, an individuV, just observing? A. It wo., i be noticeable to you. I want to say this, I mentioned also just about 1 percent of the children will i»u' ’.his very, very mild fluorosh im ttling. Q. Now you referred to the testing that was, started in in these areas ,in the midwest. Now, as a' matter of fact, are there not areas^where water con taining a natural quantity of fluoride has been consumed by the population over a- period of time? A. Yes. There, are about 15,000 communities in the United States with about four and one half mil lion people that have consum'-d naturally fluoridated water, that Marie K. Brown to Frank D.

Q. Just a amall amount? A. Oh, yta, very much leas than that which will help the teeth. Q. Now, Doctor, in general, what haa been ths result, first, say on ths tssth of thoss people using water containing naturally fluor idated water? By that I mean .7 part per million or greater? A. It haa been the same as in the areas ws experimented and added the fluoride. The results are practically tha same and I men tioned Aurora, Illinoie, with 1.8 parte per million practically dur ing tha entire history of ths ooih- munity. Aurora, Illinois and Grand Rapids, Michigan, have about the same DMF tooth rate. Q, Now, I ask you in regard to the effect on the teeth of tho populations in thoss artao having fluoridated water, what about the effect on tho ‘health of those peo ple otherwise, where they have consumed water naturally fluori dated over their lifetime, we will •ay. A. A study has bsan mads in 32 communities that have fluorides in thsir water and a similar group in 82 commtunitisz that have had no fluoride* or very email tract* of fluorides and it was found that heart diseases, intercranial les ion*, nephritis and several of ths other dissasss, there is absolute ly no more mortality rate. Q. There ie no difference in theee diseases Where there is a large amount of fluoride as compared to arses with no trace of fluoride? A. No, Thss# areae N w*rt from .7 up to perhaps five parts per million. Q. Where the water had that amount, there was no difference in ths incident of disease as compar ed with the incidence of disease in people whose water did not have fluoride? A. That is correct. Then there was a study made by Dr. Leone of the National Ihstitute of Health, in Texaa where the pro portion ie eight part* per million, eight times the recommended amount They have complete phy sical and laboratory sxaminatioril and the only difference they have found in longevity or disease rates ws* ths mottled enamel. Q. Have those communities hav ing a large amount of fluoride as parts of Texes, have they taken any steps to reduce the amount of fluoride to prevent mottling? ‘ A. Yes, sir, we think it is puat as serious a health problem to have mottled teeth as it is to have dental decay and therefore we have taken steps to conduct a study of Bartlett in taking the fluoride out to one part per mib- lion. We are also doing one at Brighton, South Dakota. The studies are coming along where perhaps we will be able to recom mend next year its broad usage. Q. I will ask you this, Doctor. I think you may have covered it, but does fluoride added to the water supply, for i instance in Greenwood if the water supply had fluoride added to it, are the results the same as in a commun ity where naturally there existed the same quantity of fluoride? A. That is correct (Dr. Kroeschel next discusses. reasons for using water supply ss a means of fluoridation.) Mamie H.
