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.
"Serving As Loyal Citizens

against tooth decay they will
have. 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

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.
A 20-minute sound and color
motion picture, "Some Tobacco
Insects and Their Control," has
recently been produced by North
Carolina State College. Copies are
available for showing to interest

David W. 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

Call out the Reserves
with a touch of your toe !
iVlost cars lead a double life.
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.
When are you coming in to look this distin
guished performer over? We urge you to make
it soon.
