To date, more than 100 cities and villages throughout the United States fluorides tottheir water supplies. Hundreds of others are considering .fluoridation and many of them already have taken steps to begin the procees. Why are these communities being stirred to action? Because scien tific research has shown that flu oridation has reduced dental decay among children markedly, In one community, the rate of decay among 7-year-olds dropped 68 per cent In three years after fluorida tion was started. Tests in one New York commu nity that practices fluoridation showed that there had been a 115 per cent incrense tit the number Information Clinic -Board Is Selected Jim McMillan, head of Dunn's Information Clinic, today announc ed the appointment of a board of governors to direct the clinic’s program.

Reports on these tests led the health department of New York— the nation's most populous state— to give its whole-hearted approval to fluoridation Moct state health departments have also endorsed the process.

One! thing is certain: fluorida tion does reduce the ratt of decay among children. This is ohe- of the few findings in dental decay re search that has not become a sub ject of controversy. Most dental scientists agree that the process which causes tooth de cay is the action of bacteria in the mouth on carbohydrates sugars and starches—to form acids which eat into the tooth structure. • For that reason, dentists and dieticians advise parents and chil dren to refrain from consuming sweets, especially between meals. The Council on Dental Health of the American Dental Association has adopted a resolution providing “that the sale of candy, soft drinks and other confections in schools be discouraged.” (Tomorrow: The history of fluo lrine.) who are qualified to speak on cur rent Issues will be invited during the season.
