FLOURIDE FOUND
DRINKING WATER
Some folks are lucky. They are
lucky because nature has pro
vided enough flouride salt in
their dringing water to prevent
two-thirds of their teeth from
decaying. These are the folks
that live in areas— Brunswick
and Moultrie, for instance—where
flouride salts occur naturally in
the water.
The majority of communities
throughout the state and nation,
however are deficient in flou
ride. That’s the reason for flou
ridation. Flouridation is the ad
ding of approximately .7 part of
flouride to a million parts of
water.
Flouride in the minute amounts
recommended by our public
health leaders is healthful to
people and animals. It is harm
less to plants. The children who
drink flouridated water from
birth until six years of age re
ceive the most benefits. There
A Ticket Is A Favor
MORGAN GROCERY
JOS. B. STRICKLAND
Thursday, August 27, 1953
You knew a ticket was coming when the siren sounded behind you and the flash
ing red light blinked in your mirror—and you knew why.
But did you even stop to think the officer was doing you a favor? Well, he
was! Traffic patrol officers know their business. They are the ones who help clean up
the gory messes on the highways, but their big job is to prevent accidents from hap
pening.
There’s no personal animosity in a ticket —and it may be saving your life and
the lives of others in a positive way. Remember, driving is a responsibility as well as
a privilege.
When you see a speeder getting a summons, be glad the law is dealing with
another traffic violator—making your trip on the road safer. And if you ever drive
out-of-turn—exceed the speed limit, go through a red light, cross a traffic line at a
"no-passing” point, or violate some other rule of the road —recognize the fact that
you are a candidate for a ticket.
And when the officer hands it to you—even if you don’t say it out loud—
" Thank You.”

DEFICIENT IN
OF MOST CITIES
I is also evidence that consider
able benefit is received by chil
dren over six years of age who
drink flouridated water. This
benefit is life-long.
We can believe our medical
leaders as to the safety of flou
ridation. Included in the groups
that are asking for flouridation
in Georgia and the United States
are the American Medical Asso
ciation, the American Dental
Association, the U. S. Public
Health Service, and the National
Research Council.
The cost of flourioation is
practically nothing. Expense va
les in different communities,
averaging about a dime a year
per person. The cost of an aver
age filling would pay for enough
flouride for one person for a
bout 30 years!
Last year four court decisions
were rendered on flouridation.
They were in San Diego; Cheha-
lis, Washington; Baltimore; and
Fargo, North Dakota. The main
conclusion of these cases was
that flouridation does not in
vade ones religious freedom.
Dental decay has been termed
by public health workers as one
of the two most prevalent di
seases, the other being common
cold. The annual dental bill
for the American public is rap
idly approaching the billion dol
lar mark and yet dentists them
selves are well aware of the fact
that dental care provided at
that level is completely inade
quate. It is estimated that 50
per cent of all two-year old
children have cavities, a figure
which rapidly increases to 98
per cent as young adulthood is
reached.
Beginning with the work of
Louis Pasteur, the medical pro
fession has been provided with
a succession of enormously val
uable and effective preventive
measures in the form of vac
cines, antitoxins and the like.
Thes have served to tremendou
sly reduce the incidence of many
diseases. At long last, science

has .made available to the dental
profession its first preventive
measure. It is for this reason,
probaly more than any other,
that the dentists throughout A
merica and the world have wel
comed it with oepn arms.
Dr. Donald Morrison, past pr
sident of the Florida State Den
tal Society, made the following
prediction with respect to flour
idation:
“In ten years every town in
the nation will use flouride as
they now use chlorine when
needed. In fifteen years there
will be 75 per cent cavity-free
kindergarten age children. There
will be 50 per cent cavity-free
high school children. In 20 years
it will be a rare thing for a ;
young person to have a perma
nent tooth lost by extraction.”
Dr. T. F. Sellers, director, Geo
rgia Department it Public ’
Health, says, “flouridation is the’

practical public health meaaurei'
