Rappahannock News, November 13, 1952

VOLUME 4 NUMBER 2 WASHINGTON, VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1952 $2.00 PER YEAR Interest, Enthusiasm, Pressure Will Bring County Soil Survey . J, It will take the age-old technique of persistence to help Rappahannock get a soil survey is the opinion of local farmers interested in this aid to better farming. Those in charge of administering the money for this work just ain’t gonna spend it unles3 citizens prove they rtally want a survey and will use it after they get itv. - \ Money is appropriated in small quantities for these County -soil surveys, which means only one or two counties can he surveyed at a time, so the county that howls the longest and and loudest will probably get the survey first. Several other counties are interested, but Rappahannock farmers know the value of having the soil typed for them, and they are prepared to “turn on the pressure.” A soil survey names every type of soil on every -spot of land, and it gives the farmer a complete and instant picture of his soil in order that he may plant what will grow best and produce the most. Soil surveys are no new thing, nor are they a part of what some people refer to as “an orgy of folish spending” dumg the past decade. For more than 50 years,. the government has attempted to help the farmer use the type of soil he has to produce the best in crops. Soil survey work is a Joint project between the Department of Interior and the states. In Virginia those in charge of survey work are: Dr. H. N. Young, head of the experiment stations and research work; Dr. S.S. Obenshain, agronomist of the experiment station and directly in charge of soil survey work; and Dr. H. L. Dunton, head of VPI agronomy department. Blacksburg, Va. is the adress of these three. James E. Yates of Huntly is the local representative of the Culpeper Soil Conservation District, a legal subdivision of the state organization. WCounty interest is high, with Raphannock National bank already pledging office space for the workers on the survey. The Rappahannock agronomy and Horticultural Committees have asked for the survey and their representatives, at their own expenses have gone to Blacksburg and conferred with authorities there. Reports say that Loudoun county hastened getting the survey by putting up some money to supplement funds appropriated from state and federal levels. One Rappahannock farmer has pledged $100, since he thinks the quicker a survey -of the soil is made, the quicker he will benefit therby. In pledging the $100, the farmer said he considers the survey a good investment, and he would be glad to help pay when the returns would be to his benefit. His donation, he said, was an encouragement to those in charge of saying which eounty would have the next survey, since a man’s readiness to pay for a soil survey was evidence of his enthusiasm for it. fOne farmer expressed the thought lat the banks would be willing to yiect and care for donations as tarmers wished to cortribute. Letters will help express enhusiasm and help show that the "armers of Rappahannock know they vant a soil survey. Knowledge of, he soil is necessary to farming just knowledge of a motor is necessary a good mechanic. Every farmer 1 tell that he wants this survey: vrite to Dr. Young, Dr. Dunton or )r. Obenshain, at Blacksburg; write o James E. Yates. Don’t worry about pelling or punctuation—just write •lain common sense; tell them that ou know you need the knowledge of (our soil in order to do your best, im Yates could be asked to get ction at the next meeting of the Soil onservation District supervisors at ie»r monthly meeting. Mrs. Jaenie Jarvis of Sperryvillc as accepted a position in The Jewel ox hi Culpeper. gl Officials Conduct Tour In Soil Survey Interest On hand Thursday, November 6, were Dr. S. S. Obenshain, Agronomist with VPI Experiment Station Virginia; W. W. Lewis, Extension in charge of Soil Survey Work in Agronomist of '• Glenn Wilson, Survey Supervisor of S.C.S.; Hubert Porter, Associate Agronomist for the State Experiment Station; and Mr. Carter, Soils Technician, Culpeper Soil Conservation District to help with a soil / study tour of farms in Rappahannock. The second such tour sponsored bythe county agronomy committee, the purpose of the attendance of the officials was to help with the tour and at the same time to see, hear and feel the degree of interest shown by the local farmers. The officials seemed impressed, but not enough to make, a verbal commitment. Their reaction has been, termed “a faint smile of encouragement,©r a squintof an eye in wonderment of whether interest was absolutely sincere or as an indication that they were actually weighing the interest of Rappahannock citizens against that of those from some other county.” Discussion at a Courthouse meeting preceded the tour. Circuit Court Convenes ' • Circuit Court convened on Monday 10, with Judge J. R. H. Alexander presiding. * The grand jury returned indictments for felony against Robert and Haywood Dodson and James O. Payne. These cases will be tried at f later date, during the November tirin' of the Circuit Court. A. B. Jones (colored) of Washington, D. C., who was convicted on October 24, of driving drunk, was sentenced to 30 days in jail, (suspended on good behavior) fined $100 and cost, and his permit was revoked to operate any motor vehicle on the Virginia roads for 12 months. At tha| time Jones decided to take an appeal but on Monday, he appeared before Judge Alexander and asked for it be remanded to the Trial Justice Court.. This request wa^ granted, so his punishment remains as on October 24. The visiting lawyers on Monday were Charles Stone of Warrelfton, Mrs Helen M. Jeffries and John L. Jeffries III of Culpeper. -V Counttj Home Uemonstmion MtIVS By Elizabeth Fuss ^ SCHEDULE FOR NEXT WEEK Nlondayr Nov. 17, Huntly H.D. at Reager School at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 18, Gid Brown H.D. at Mrs. Archie Bailey’s at 2 p.m. Flint Hill H.

Hunting-Army (Ms With The 3rd Infantry Division In Korea Two bird hunting Army cooks from the 703rd Ordance Maintenance Company, 3rd Infantry Div., recently got more than they bargained for on a hunting expedition into the North Korean hills. I Armed with 12-gauge shotguns on a free afternoon, Pfc. Perry Bailey, whose wife, Maynard, lives in Ranson/ Ky., and Pvt. Charles L. Williams, whose wife, Claudine, lives in Browntown, returned from their hunt with a dead enemy soldier and a wounded one. The two Reds had been flushed from their hiding place behind UN lines. Bailey, formerly of Matewan, W. Va., and Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sandy Williams, Huntly, spotted the two infiltrators and at first mistook them for deer. Then, noticing the wariness of the intruders, they hurried to a nearby river bank to enlist the aid of several New Zealand soldiers who were digging sand. Returning to the spot where they had spotted the Commies, the now reinforced hunting party wai met with hand grenades and more rifle fire. After a brief fire fight, the Chinese were bagged. . The following morning the adventurous cooks returned to their jobs in the mess hall, their day of combat behind them. Two Auto Accidents Hospitalize Two Persons Oscar D. Hill jr., (colored) of Culpeper, is in the Waren County Memorial Hospital, Front Royal, as a result of a broken rib, lacerations, head and chest injuries received whA the truck owned by C. S. Yates of Culpeper, driven by him, skidded on the highway, two miles east of Washington, at “Rose Hill” into a truck owned by the Novick Transfer Truck Co. Trooper William A. Buntin reported around $500 property damage was done and Hill was given a ticket. Higgs, the driver of the Novick Transfer Truck, suffered minor injuries of both knees and received local treatment. The second car accident on Monday was on route. 231, five miles south of Sperryviile, Trooper William Buntin reports this accident as H. D. Nichols of Strasburg wras driving the car owned by Frank Stover, who also lives in Strasburg. The car skidded • on the wet pavement, turned over and hit the bridge. Patsie Nichols, his daughter, was in the car and received injuries of back and neck. She was ,admitted to Warren County Hospital also. Her condition is satisfactory. No charges were brought. • - “ ---— Coffey - Nethers Miss Helen Mae Nethers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Robert Nethers, Flint Hill . and Frank Daniel Coffey Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Daniel Coffey Sr, of Sperryville, were united in marriage on Saturday, November 1, at 8 p.m. in the Methodist parsonage at Front Royal, the Rev. Roscoe C Johnson officiating. The bride wore a cocoa brown suit with dark brown accessories. Mrs. Coffey is a graduate of Rappahannock County High School, class of 1952. Mr. Coffey graduated from Rappahannock County High School, class of 1951 and completed a course in body and fender work at Mechanics' School* Nashville, Tennessee. jt » After a short wedding trip, the couple are at home with the bridegroom’s parents in Sperryville. “Apple A Day Keeps The Dentist Away” “Clean your teeth with an apple; end your meal with a fruit.” From Dr. Fred D. Miller, a dentist of Altoona, Pa., comes this piece of advice. The dentist is devoting a major portion of his time to the advancement of this philosophy of tooth protection. Under Dr. miller’s supervision, the National Apple Institute is making a motion picture based on tne same principles. Ending a meal with a sticky food, then cleansing with an apple is the best of dental care, Dr. Miller says. Although this may be considered altering the order of the menu, he says that his 40 years spent in the study of dental carriers convinces him that he is right. Such a practice reduces the incidence of tooth decay. “Not only is it good for the teeth," Dr. Miller asserts, “but it is good nutritional practice. Soft drinks and the over-use of food products that have been too much refined fill the system with food that have lost their material food values." This dental expert* who is a former president of the Pennsylvania State Dental Association, points out that the investigations made by Dr. Basil Bibby at the Eastman Dentil Dispensary in Rochester, N. Y., have shown that apples and carrots are the least likely of any foods to produce dental decay. SWEET MUSIC These ideas were embodied in an address by Dr. Miller made at a recent meeting of the Shenandoah Valley Dental Association. Coming at a time when one of the nation’s finest crops of ludous apples is being harvested, such good news .is sweet music to the growers* ears. In these times of comparative I No Hunting Season Moved Unless Rain Relieves Drought — ■“*p Nd deer season opens November 17, nor regular hunting season November 20, unless the present ban is lifted by rain. According to the statement issued October 24, which has not been changed to date, the extreme dry condition of the land makes hunting a fire hazard. Game Warden C. Ennis Brown suggests that a hunter telephone him (Sperryville-2741) to check if the ban is lifted. The woods and fields a’re dangerously dry and the small amount of rain which has fallen has not materially helped. The formal public announcement is as follows: Notice.is hereby"given Hilt the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries, pursuant to 9-6.4 and 9-6.5 of the Code of Virginia has adopted on October 24, 1952, the following emergency rule, under authority conferred upon the said Commission by 29-125 of the Code: Section J01. (A) Due to unpresedented drought conditions prevailing throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia, and due to the fact that the presence of- day and night hunters in J$ie fields and woods of the State would add to the further spread of fire, and (B) Upon the recommendations of the State Forest Service, and of the. y. S. Forest Service, ■ which agencies are joined, by sportsmen’s organizations, hunters and County Boards of Supervisors, the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries proclaims the following order: 1. That the open season for hunting any species of wildlife during the day or night shall cease on the effective date of this order, and continue until such order is lifted. 2. That the general hunting season west of the Blue Ridge ^Mountains which has been set to open on November 17, 1952, and the general hunting season east of the Blue Ridge Mountains which has been set to open November 20, 1952, be and the same is hereby closed to all day and night hunting. Provided, however, that should sufficient rain fall prior to the aforesaid dates, this order shall of the Comission become null and void. 3. That should the closing of the seasons as set forth in Section two (2) of this order be carried out, the general hunting season shall then open by proclamation of the Commission as soon as weather conditions warrant. % 4. This regulation does not apply to open season on waterfowl as that season is fixed by Federal Regulation. Such emergency rule is being published in accordance with 9-6.4 and copies have been filed in the ofice of the Division of Statutory Research and Drafting. This order shall become effecting November 8, 1952, at 5 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. plenty, says Dr. Mill4f, the American people actually are dying of malnutrition. He points out that Dr Thomas Parran, surgeon general of the U. S. Public Health Service, recently told the United Nations Food Conference that improved nutritional standards would “add ten years to the virile life span of the average human being.*' (Dr. Royal Lee, president of the Lee Foundation for Nutritional Research, jn Milwaukee, insists that this figure should be 20 years, not ten.) * “In the process of preparing foods for sale,” Dr. Miller says, “manufacturers are more interested in the shelf . * life of their products than they are in retaining the minerals and vitamins vital to maintaining the healthy lives , of the people. Attempts to replace food elements lost by processing with synthetics is wholly inadequate.” . ■i . . . j uJi. . /s, . - -m '.-cV' . ,tcikl.«ttairtuJw&iS

Rappahannock News Published Thursday Morning at Washington, Rappahannock County, Virginia ’ Dial Washington 2851 LUCY CATHERINE BOWIE Publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office, at Washington, Virginia. Subscription:-$2.00 a year Danger; Accompanies Concern Hunters should realize that the numerous “posted” signs, forbidding hunting, are not signs of inhospitality, but are signs of definite concern by land-owners. Use of high-powered rifles present/1 a danger to workmen in fields or in woods. There have been too many stories of tragedies from high-powered rifles. Shots from some high-powered weapons in the hands of hunters are dangerous for a distance of two miles, and Rappahannock County is too thickly populated to allow such dangers to exist. Some of the “posted” signs do not mean that no hunting is allowed, but when the hunter goes to get permission from the land-owner, he is permitted tp hunt as long as no highpowered weapon goes. One hunter, in the Flint Hill neighborhood, spoke the situation very clearly: “I’m a deer hunter, myself, and I own a high-powered rifle, but I’m interested in seeing a law passed to out-law high-powered weapons in Rappahannock County. It’s too dangerous to allow one to be fired.” With the deer season upon us, it is too late to pass legislation to protect citizens this year from highpowered rifles. Opinion in general expresses the belief that another year will find laws to eliminate this ■ hazard to workmen, to school children walking along the country roads, or to other hunters unseen but close enough to be within range of. highpowered guns. Growing Interest In Government ' As stated by a member of the Board of Supervisors in a recent meeting, many people had asked him about the salaries of county officials. The Board responded to these inquiries by publishing a list of county officers’ salaries and expenses. There was divided opinion at first as to why this publishing was done, but the board members said that it PITTS FRONT ROYAL THUR.-FRI., NOV. 13-14 DOUBLE FEATURE “GAS HOUSE KIDS GO WEST’ — Hit No. 2 — ~ HUGH BEAUMONT TRUDY MARSHALL “TOO MANY WINNERS »» SAT., NOV. 15 ROY ROGERS with “TRIGGER” —in— “Under California Stars'* SUN.-MON., NOV. 15-17 STEVE COCHRANE — fa — “THE LION » AND THE HORSE” (In COLOR) TUES.-WED., NOV. 18-19 DENNIS MORGAN BETSY DRAKE “PRETTY BABY” was in response to requests. The dubious, tongue-in-check opinion grew in minds of those who knew that if one wished to know the salaries of public officers, there are complete records in the 'Clerk's office. Officers’ salaries estimated necessary expense acount for such items as record books, tax forms, stationery, envelopes, postage," tele— phone and paper clips. However, there are many citizens who did not realize that all public offices are public property (except of course, tax reports which fall in the line of personal acounts), and any citizen may satisfy his interest by examining clerk’s records. - Like all figures, there can be misinterpretations. As the old fellow said*: “Figures don’t lie, but liars figure." Some salaries will appear much larger than others, • since the salaries of some officers are supplemented by fees, while salaries of others are not. This interest in salaries of public oficers seems to follow the trend of the day, when the average citizen is beginning to take more interest in public offices, in the nation, in the state, and, naturally, down to the county and city level. I here is an aside which might come to light at this time. With all this interest in public officials, there comes the memory of criticism which befell public officials whose names were mentioned with dishonesty and graft, mink coats and deep freezers, five per cent and selling state secrets. All this criticism reached the point of righteous indignation, and quite correct it was as such. The idea that can be thrown simultaneously is this: Is the average citizen as careful that his own business dealings are as honest as he expects from the public servant?

It is my contention that the death penalty is not Christain and so should be done away with. There are six states in the United States which have abolished capital punishment. Here are my arguments against it. (1) It is a penalty that cannot be undone, once' it is carried out. Mis- 1 takes in judgment by juries as to guilty are unknown to have happened. Also unbalanced people will sometimes confess themselves guilty of crime which they are quite innocent of. An illustration of the unjust conviction of a man for murder is supplied by the case of Andrew Toth, who served 20 years of a life sentence in the Western Penitentary of Pennsylvania for a crime he had not committed. (2) Its motive is revenge; Revenge as a reason for punishment has lost its power in most reflective minds; especially has it lost its power in the minds of Christians. Jesus threw out the motive of revenge when he said, You have heard it said to you of old, an eye for an eye and a tooth, for a tooth, but I say unto you. . . then Jesus gave the law of love to replace it. The highest act of love is forgiveness. Forgiveness is the opposite of revenge. Therefore, reform and) rehabilitation must take the place.of revenge in our treatment of criminals. (3) The death penalty is not reformative. As a matter of fact, capital punishment indicates the impossibility of reform. All avenues to reform are closed if one receives the death penalty. No one can say with certainty whether the possibility of reform exists in a man or no., no matter how hardened he may be. Only God knows; so the life of a criminal must be left in God's hands to take away. (4) Capital punishment is not reterrent in effect. In a study made it was found that there are no more serious crimes committed in the states Pitts Park THEATRE Front Royal, Virginia THURS., NOV. 13 JOSE FERRER KIM HUNTER — in — “ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN” FRL-SAT., NOV. 14-15 STERLING HAYDEN ARLEEN WHELAN VICTOR JORY in — “FLAMING FEATHER” (Color by Technicolor) SUN.-MON., NOV. 16-17 DAVID WAYNE JEAN PETERS — in — “WAIT TILL THE SUN SHINES NELLIE” (In Technicolor) 3 DAYS: TUES.-WED.-THUR. NOV. 18-19-20 JERRY LEWIS DEAN MARTIN, — hT— “JUMPING JACKS” in which the death penalty has been abolishea than in those in which it is to be found. States where the death penalty exists have as high, if not higher homicide rates, as those state? which do not have the death penalty. (5) Capital punishment diminishes the certainity of punishment. It is the common experience that juries often will not convict when they know that the penalty is death. Thus capital punishment gives juries an unconscious excuse for acquitting a man who should be punished, (6) The act of capital punishment is cold-blooded and deliberate murder. Each citizen is as responsible for murder as the executioner who pulls the switch. For we give him the power and authority to do it. Put yourself in his place. If you couldn’t pull the switch yourself you believe in God's commandment, “Thou shalt not kill" and should oppose capital punishment. (7) Capital punishment violates a basic Christian doctrine, the sacredness of human,life. Christ lifted up the personality of each man, no matter how degraded he seemed to be. He taught his followers to reform that which is lost; He said, “Condemn not.” We are condemning a man when we give him the death penalty. We are judging a man when he is punished in other ways.

I just wouldn't have any way of knowing. o o o The hunters are going to be disappointed if there’s not enough rain to allow them to hunt. Reports say the rainy days, while rain fell, were not sufficient to get dampness through the leaves in the woods. Other reports say that were the sun to come out, the hunting fields and woods would be as dry as last week. The danger of forest fires is still too great to run the risk of a hunter dropping a cigarette or pipe ashes. o o o WHILE STOCK IS FULL Select _m,_ Early! FOR LATER DELIVERY Engraving should be ordered early to have gifts ready for Christmas. C. ROY JONES JEWELER Culpeper, Virginia The world is a little puzzling at times. - 4 Take, for example, the 'man who said he wished something alive in his lonely apartment. A friend gave him a small aquarium containing six fish, two snails, plus seaweed, pebbles, and water. When the gift arrived, a proper place to . put same could not be found. Also, the donor’s taste in aquariums did not suit. Transfer to a Steuben bowl proved to be quarters too small. Result: the janitor’s wife has the .aquarium. What makes folks like this? A fish is netted and a steer is butchered and we eat ’em, but if a cat climbs to the top of a tree to escape a frivolous dog, the taxpayers are delighted to pay the costs of a fire department summoned to rescue the unhappy creature. Once rescued, nobody will accept the poor thing as a gift; especially if she’s expectant. o o o “It would help tp bring peace in the family, if not on earth, if jealousy among adult children could be abandoned.’’ (I would be glad to furnish the author of this quotation if I knew who it was.) Two thoughts: A man can best promote the public interest by promoting his own interest. A man does more good in making of money than he can possibly do in spending it, or giving it away. Let us take, as an example, one of the pioneer railroad builders of the nation—Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt. He made millions out of railroading but in the process of making these millions he reduced the cost of moving a barren of flour a thousand miles to so small a sum that it hardly can be measured in a loaf of bread. Had he given every dollar he made to the poor he could not have helped the world as much as he did by pushing our frontier westward to the fertile plains which meant cheap bread for almost the whole world. Consider Cyrus McCormick, the inventor of the reaper, probably the most useful labor-saving machine ever revised. He made it THE EDUCATION OF A PHARMACIST the Druggist Is Required To Know HOSPITAL PHARMACY As a compounder of drugs, the pharmacist is essential in the hospital. Hospitals generally have staff pharmacists, who have received the same thorough training as general pharmacists; but, occasionally, in an emergency, the general pharmacist must be relied on to provide specific drugs, and regularly the general pharmacist must fill the needs of those just discharged from the hospital and of out-patients. Your Druggist Is Trained To Serve Your Health Needs LEWIS PHARMACY DIAL 8322 CULPEPER, VA. PRESCRIPTIONS ACCURATELY COMPOUNDED possible to harvest enormous crops with a minimum of labor. It is difficult to see how the nation could have developed t4 its present proportions without the reaper. The millions • he accumulated are only a little in comparison to the billions of wealth which his machine created and in which all shared. I have in mind a bookseller whose store occupies a small space, only a few feet square. His is a fine character which I am pleased to think is the result of a man in love with his job. He specializes in good books that you must .read with your mind awake. It is my opinion that he is accomplishing as much for the public interest in this store as is the average Congressman in Washington. The first duty of any citizen of a democracy is to take care of himself and. those dependent on him. Let him do this well and he will have served the public interest at least to that extent. If he still has time on his hands, let him use it in the improvement of matters of wider concern. Only the philanthropist knows how difficult it is to “give” people anything. The universal test of the public's desire tor improvement is its willingness to pay a fair price for what is offered." ror a long time we have had attempts made to “give” people a better theater, better plays. A group of citizens in New York atacked the problem from a new angle. They found good plavsf produced them, and the people fought to see them, paying top prices. The theater guild made money, unknown playwrights (became famous, the people enjoyed the plays, and everybody was happy.—'Contributed.

Robert Anderson, director of Bureau of Health Education, concerning fluoridation. / Since the Virginia State Department of Health approved and endorsed a policy of fluoridation in December 1951, three Virginia cities have started adding fuloride to their water supplies, four other cities have received permits to begin fluoridation and 15 other communities have started action towards fluoridation, according to Dr. Mack I. Shanholtz, state health commissioner. •Virtually every health association in the country, including the American Medical Association and the American Dental Association, has gone on record favoring fluoridation for communities where water supplies arc known to be deficient in fluoride, Dr. Shanholtz said. Dental and public health literature contains a large mass of evidence which demonstrates conclusively that there is approximately three times as much dental decay in childrlen who use fluoride-free domestic water as there is in children who are born and reared in communities whose drinking water contains 1 part per million or more of fluorine. According to Dr. Shanholtz, there has been some opposition to fluoridation. Many of these accusations are so obviously false that they need no an-wcr. A sum mary of a few of -these assertions and facts follows: Assertion: Fluorides in the public water supply may have harmful effects on human beings. For generations over 3,000,000 persons in' the U. S. have lieen drinking water which naturally contains much more fluoride than health authorities recommend. Exhaustive studies have "proven that the health oF these people has in no way been impaired and that their rate of tooth decay has consistently been much lower than in other areas. Assertion: Fluoride is a poisonous substance found in rat poison and insecticides. In large amounts, fluorides are toxic both in humans and in animals. The recommended amount to be added to water supplies is neither toxic nor harmful. Chlorine is one of the most deadly gases ever known but it has been used for several years to purify drinking water. Assertion: Fluorides cause or accelerate the growth of cancer. This misstatement stems from a cancer experiment conducted in Texas on a special strain of mice which were highly inbred for susceptibility to cancer. Public Health Service investigators and officials of the National Cancer Institute reported that the experiment produced no relationship between fluoridation and cancer development or growth. Assertion. Fluorides cause an unsightly staining of the teeth. High concentration of fluoride in public water cause mottled enamel on the teeth. However, when the water contains the recommended concentration of one part per million the degree of staining is so slight that it can only he detected by •careful dental examination. „ Assertion: Fluorides have a harmful efect on the kidneys of adults. Studies show that fluorides do not accumulate in the body. This ability of the body to eliminate fluorides is more than adequate for the amount ingested through fluoridated water. Assertion: Fluorides in the water make the bones brittle. A detailed study of 1,458 high school boys in seven cities with varying concentrations of fluorides in public water supplies showed no effect on bone fracture experience. Assertion: Fluoridation is “socialized medicine.'* It is no more “socialized medicine^' than is chlorination, immunization, pasturization and the many other disease-preventing procedures in common use today. Much careful study and thought was given to the question of fluoridation before the State Health Department endorsed this procedure, Dr. Shanholtz said. “We stand ready to help any community which is interested in obtaining this valuable health aid. Weatherstripping alone will cut down both heat losses and drafts, and the savings in fuel and increased comfort soon justify the cost. When weatherstripping is used along with insulation and storm windows, the benefits increase.
