JEffectiv, ^.uveness, Cost oi Municipal Water Fluoridation Discussed (ED. NOTE ? This is the second In a series of three articles by Dr. John C. Brauer, deem of the school of dentistry at QNC and chairman of the If. C. Dental So* ciety's committee on fluoridation discussing the subject of muni cipal water system fluoridation.) By Dr. J. C. Brauer Children literally can drink their way to better dental health IX the water in their homes con tains the proper amount of fluo rides. Research has produced much evidence showing conclusively that children born and reared in communities whose public water supplies contain one part per 1, 000,000 or more of fluorine have only one-third as. much dental de cay as children who drink water which does not contain the che mical. Children need not be born in an area which has a sufficient sup ply of fluoride in its water to re ceive the benefits of fewer cavi ties. But the earlier and longer they drink water containing fluo ride while their teeth are develop ing, the greater protection Miss Hoyle In Tournament HICKORY? Miss Myrtle Hoyle, of Kings Mountain, was among the 100 Southern college and uni versity students who participated in the twentieth annual South At lantic Foronslc tournament at Le noir Rhyne college last weekend. The three-day tournament, di rected by Dr. Alber Koiser of the Lenoir Rhyne English and public speaking departments, opened Thursday afternoon and closed Saturday. Contests Included a seven-round debate tournament and twenty individual speaking clashes. Miss Hoyle, a senior at Appala chian State Teachers college, de bated in the first affirmative posi tion. Her colleague was Miss Bet ty Garland of Bakersville. Fifteen other colleges and uni versities from Washington, D. C., to Gainesville, Fla., was repre sented in the debate competition. Tlie forty-four teams presented debates during the three days.

This applies to both first and permanent teeth. One of the most convincing ex amples of the value of fluorida tion is provided in a six-year study made at Newburg, N. Y? and the nearby city of Kingston. Newburgh began fluoridating its water supply in 1945 and is con tinuing to do so. Kingston has never fluoridated its water. Dr.' David B. Aat, New York state dental director, who con ducted the study, has reported that among 5 to 6 year old chil dren in Newburgh there has been a 115 per increase in the number of children with all of their first teeth free of decay, compared with children in Kingston. During a four-year period of fluoridation, there was a reduc tion of 32.5 per cent in the num ber of decayed, missing or filled teeth among Newburgh children from 6 to 12. Complete health ex aminations showed no harmful effects that could be attributed to fluoridation. Cost Fluoride can be added to public water supplies to help prevent tooth decay among children at a yearly cost of only 4 to 14 cents per person. The exact cost depends upon the type of fluoride compound used, the amount of fluoride in the water before fluoridation, the size of the community and the per capita use of water. Sodium fluoride is most com monly used in the fluoridation process, but Dr. Trendley Dean, head of the National Insti tute of Dental Research, recently pointed out that sodium fluosili cnto is much cheaper and Just as effective. The cost of treating 1,000,000 gallons of water with sodium fluoride at the rate of one part per million is $2.15, while the cost when sodium fluosilicate is used is only 76 cents, Dr. Dean said. One reason for the difference, he explained, is that fluosilicate releases 50 per cent more fluorine than the most expensive source when combined with water. Calcium fluoride would be the cheapest source of fluoride, but because of Its Insolubility it would be difficult to use. Other sources of fluoride available are sllico fluorlde, hpdrofluoslllclc add, and hydrofluoric acid. There are two types of fluor ide feeders: solution feeders which deliver a measured quan tity of fluoride solution during a specified period, and dry feed ers which deliver a pre- determ ined quantity of solid fluoride material during a given time In terval. The rate at which xluorlde is required determines the choice of feeder desired. This rate la de termined by amounts of water consumed and of fluoride pres ent before treatment. As a gen eral rule, solution feeders are used for small water systems Closing March 15th For Repairs It has been a great pleasure to do business with you.

Mar. 6 MEET YOUR NEIGHBOR Frank Burke Burke Manager At Lambeth Rope By DOT HAM Kings Mountain's new citizen lor this week is Frank Burke, plant manager of Lambeth Rope Company located off Phifer road. Prior to coming to Kings Moun tain in September, 1950, Mr. Burke was manager of the com pany's sales office in Charlotte. A veteran textile man, he has been associated with Lambeth Rope for 24 years. The Kings Mountain plant is the first of this firm's located in the South. The hbme office is in New Bedford, Mass. The company has been in business for nearly 60 years. Mr. Burke is a native of Massa chusetts and attended Amherst college. He is married to the former Miss Millicent Booth who is also a native of Massachusetts. The Burke's have eight chil dren, three, Mary secretary for her father, Tommy who is a sen ior in high school, and Ellen, who is in grammar school, are still at home. They are residing in the resi dence formerly occupied by Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Hamrlck. and dry feeders for large ones. The mechanics of feeding flu orides are no more involved than those for other chemicals used in water purification. If rfilorlne also is added to the water, there is no reaction with fluoride, but alum will remove about, one-tenth of the fluoride in fluoridated water. For that reason, fhiorldes should be add ed after the alum treatment. It is important that the quan tity of fluoride in water be de termined at plants where fluor idation is practiced because if too little floride is added, no beneficial effects will result. To make flourlde determinations, a comparator has been so design ed that the average water works operator can read it with accu racy.

Fortner, 21, son of Mrs. Lois Smith, Rt. 3, Kings Mountain was promoted to his present rank when he was graduated from "Boot Camp" on February 13. He climaxed his recruit training by winning the marksman medal On the rifle range when he fired a score of 208 out of a possible 250 during his weapons training. v During the past eight weeks of recruit training, as a result of field experience and classroom lectures, the new Marine has be come versed in such military sub jects as precision drill, first aid, hygiene, and field tactics. In ad dition to firing the famed Garand rifle lor qualification,- he fired other infantry weapons such as the .45 calibre pistol, carbine and Browning Automatic Rifle. He al? so witnessed demonstration firing of the machine gun, mortar and flame thrower. He entered the Marine Corps on Dec. 6, 1951. He was a recent em ployee at Imperial Theatre as projectionist.

A good part of the time, they're running errands, taking children to school, taking women to stores, taking men to work, taking family and friends to clubs and social functions. It doesn't call for a very great output of horse power for duties like these. But there are times when you want a car that can do vastly more, and these are the times when you'll want what this year's Roadmastf.r has to offer. Beneath its proud hood, there's a Fireball 8 Engine? a valve-in-head that can let loose 170 lively horsepower when needed. And ? alongside this engine ? there's also an Airpower carburetor which thriftily feeds fuel and air through two smaller-than-usual barrels for normal driving? which means that you now use less gas at 40 than you'd formerly use at 30. But there are two barrels in reserve? waiting for you to call them into action ? and they let loose a soaring rush of power that sinks your shoulders back into the seat cushion, swoops you past a truck? out of a tight spot? up a hill ?sets your speedometer needle to registering added miles more than twice as fast as your watch can tick off the seconds. Tb? is an experience you certainly shoukl know firsthand. "You should also know how Buick's Power Steering* provides a helping hand in slow motion maneuvers ? lets you keep the "fed" of the car in straightaway driving. And just for good measure, this '52 Ro ADM aster also has the biggest brakes of any postwar Bui ck? the greatest trunk space since spare tires moved off the front fenders? a warning light that glows when the parking brake is set ? and to top it all, the smartest interior fabrics that Buick has ever offered.
