to fight for it and to suffer
defeat," he said, "It was the

Dr. Aldis made his personal
position on fluoridation clear
and, coneise: "I don't know of
anything that does so much
good for so little money."
The preventative benefit of
fluoridation has been evident in
his own family, he said. His

The claims of "lintatie right•
wing scientists'" helped to .da.,
feat the first vote on fluori,
dation in Huron says Dr. R.
M, Aldis, county medical offic
er of health,
YO'Ve rs in Goderich, the
county town, rejected fluorida-
tion. 977-71.() despite full .en-
dorsement of the town's ..doc-
'Wm dentists and aSsociated
professional men, as well as
service einh$ and the town's
newspaper,.
Dr. Aldis, who ardently sup-
ported the "yes" vote, said
ridiculous claims by maverick
scientists, an emotional rather
than a reasoned appeal and an
"old guard" reaction helped de-
feat the vote.
Anti-fittoridationists, he said,
distributed literature contain-
ing attacks against the tooth
decay preventative by people
with recognized degrees and
titles but who are considered
radicals within their own pro-
fessions,
"It b ecame an emotional
thing. The average person gen-
erally trusts his doctor or his
dentist but when vague claims
are made about enzymes and
hormones people subconsciously
beconi.e frightened and that
downgrades the appeal."
"There was e, lot of mis-
understanding," said the MOH.
"And they (the anti-fluorida-
tionists) were much better or-
ganized than we were."
Some observers, he said, at-
tributed the defeat to an old-
guard reaction to progress.
Fluoridation, i t s admitted,
does not proVide significant
benefits .for older people even
though it is "a boon to the
young family," Retired people,
the doctor suggested, may, have
felt they didn't want to con-
tribute to such a prdgram,
Dr. Aldis, however, wasn't
discouraged by the result.' "1
hope some day Godenich and
Exeter will have fluoridation so
that we can enjoy the benefits
which the people in other Hur
an county centres have through
their natural supply." (Blyth,
