Letter To Editor Editor, THE SUN How did the issue of fluor idation begin? In 1951 an ar ticle in the Chemical Week, stated that only 1 per cent of the nation’s water supply was fluoridated. The , Aluminum Chemical and Equipment indus tries became goggle-eyed at the prospects of exploring the potentials in the sale of their products. How to begin was the prob lem. In 1944, Oscar Ewing, an attorney, was employed at a salary of $75,000.00 by the Aluminum Company of Amer ica. Later, he became Federal Security Administrator. Real izing the potentials of selling “rat poison” by the ton in stead of by the paper sack, he began by using the prestige of his office and induced New burgh N. Y. and others to try a ten year experiment in test ing the effects of fluoride up- Notice to Candidates The time for qualifying as a candidate in the June Demo cratic Primary for Newberry County began Monday, March 4th, 1968 and continues until Noon Monday, March 18th, 1968. Assessments for candidates qualifying in the primary as rpproved by the Executive Committee in session on Mon day are as follows: Sheriff $350.00 House of Repre sentatives 200.00 Auditor 300.00 Treasurer 300.00 Clerk of Court 300.00 Supervisor 300.00 Coroner 100.00 Commissioners 150.00 School Board 50.00 Magistrates: Whitmire 150.00 Newberry 250.00 Prosperity 125.00 Pomaria 100.00 Silverstreet- Chappells _'_r 100.00 Little Mountain 100.00 If no opposition, fees will be doubled above amount. and Equipment firms, with their billions, were out to ex ploit the potentials of their products. Shall we permit our selves to become financial vic tims of these industrial giants who seem more interested in making money from local tax payers than in saving teeth of the children ? At the beginning of this na tion-wide project, an attitude of apathy prevailed and opposi tion was only a whisper. The power of large subsidies, big donations and endowments, strategically placed together with many cases of ingeniously stifled opposition, created a huge momentum for the fluor ide program. However, today, many physicians, dentists and scientists are springing from the entrapment, created by the skillful maneuvering of high priced lobbyists and are now voicing opposition to fluorida tion. The chief sanitary engineer of U. S. Public Health Services admitted that about 10 to 20 percent of those children who drink treated water will devel op mottled teeth and it is claim ed that non-white children are twice as susceptible of fluorsis as white children. This is shocking! Also, Sodium Fluor ide is a strong drug with ser ious side-effects. Would any physician prescribe a strong drug and advise, “Take as much as you like and as long as you like.” Yet, it seems this is the exact advice some of those who favor fluoridation, would give to children and adults ilike, despite 1pm fluoride con- ;ent of tap water cannot be maintained. Why condemn a population by chaining them with a compulsory water sys tem loaded with hidden dangers to health ? Dr. Edmond A. Laughlin, M. D., director of Health for R. I., 1935-1959, once an active pro moter of fluoridation, said that adults should not be ex posed to the dangers of fluoride in their drinking water. Also it is reported that Dr. Gerald J. Cox, a foremost promoter of fluoridation drinks bottled bottled spring water and so does Mr. Eisenhower, once president. Added to this, maj ority of the water engineers have opposed the program from the beginning. In the face of the above pru dent advice and timely warn ings, we, who oppose fluorida tion would place a warning hand upon every drinking wat er tap and plead, PLEASE cry out opposition to putting Sod ium Fluoride in our city water.
