Let's look at it
We have commented he r e before on the
thorough research and study of fluoridation which
has revealed the substantial benefits provided in
the prevention of tooth decay.
Recently the British ministry of health re-
ported dramatic results of a .five-year test just
completed.
One part fluoride to one million parts water
was added to the drinking supplies of a London
suburb, part of a Welsh county and a Scottish city.
On the average, according to the report, the
number of decayed or lost teeth diminished by 66.
per cent at the age of three, 57 per cent at the
age of four, and 50 per cent at the age of five,
compared to three control areas,
These are most impressive figures -- 66, 57
and 50 per cent. One cannot ignore this significant
benefit.
This prompts us to suggest again — more
strongly than. ever that a study he made of
the cost of adding fluoride to our water system.
('an ii he done economically with the various in-
dependent sources of supple'' which feed our sys ,
tem? How much, if any, would it increase our
water rates?
We urge the PIT to make an investigation and
report to the citizens.
Meanin fu! names
Park. Street. Phooey:
Why would council pick this nebulous nomer
for the street on the south side of Victoria Park
when Norry Street, as was suggested.. would have
been so much more appropriate. John Norry, who
served as policeman and public works man here
for over a quarter of a century, lived and died on.
that street. Why could he not have been honored
in this small way?
Park Street, Phooey: What meaning is there in
Park Street?
We have some more noncommittal names if
council must persist in using them. How about
Fence Street., Shady Boulevard, Sunny Avenue,
Elm Road, Chicken Terrace, Cloverleaf Crescent,
Board Walk, There, are lots of such meaningless
names hut why should we even consider them?
Earlier councils preserved and honored pio-
neer names in the designation of streets. Surely
today's councils can do the same.
Council might ask the library hoard ---- or
some other body, if it is unwilling to prepare
a list based on our community history. Let us not
have any more Eastern Avenues and Park Streets.
They are not, worthy.

The image chan es
The public image of the medical profession,
which once was revered as one which put the
health and welfare of patients above all other con-
siderations, is receiving A drastic revision as a re,
stilt of the developments in Saskatchewan.
The doctors certainly have a right to object.
They can take the case to. the courts. They may
practice outside the medicare legislation. But
surely they are not, justified in refusing to look
after the health needs of the citizens hi -Saskateh-
ewa.n.
We condemn tactics attributed to such organ-
izations as the teamsters -- slashing tires, throw-
big bricks through windshields, threatening fami-
lies. Even these, however, fail. to reach the propor-
tion of irresponsibility displayed by the medical
profession in Saskatchewan.
Dominion Day
The lack of recognition of Dominion Day
continues to concern us, Nothing was done in this
area to indicate it was our national birthday. Our
apathy toward this day is appalling,
We have a suggestion which might work.
it's obvious that it would be impractical for every
town to put on a celebration each year. Let's move
it around on a county basis. A county council
committee could establish the framework for a
celebration to be held in a different town each
year.
There could be a sports program with com-
petitions for county championships in track and
field, tugs of war, ball tournaments, band compe-
titian, amateur talent contest, fireworks and so on.
We'd like to see the proposal discussed at the
next county council meeting.
This might help
These. two stories may help you avoid your
next accident:
A test made a few years ago proves how
wrong the jack-rabbit driver is when he thinks
that speeding is a fast way to go anywhere. A
famed. Indianapolis Speedway race driver, Cliff
Bergere, drove a 15-block course through a city,
adhering to all traffic rules. He took glee minutes
to travel 15 blocks. Then, with police co-operation,
he made the same route, at illegal speeds, and
breaking 52 traffic rules in all to "make time".
He cut only FOUR, SECONDS off his time!
A New York taxi driver who had driven a
million miles without, an accident, was asked to
give a fifteen-minute talk on safe driving as part
of the celebration of his record.
"It won't take me any 15 minutes to tell
how to avoid accidents," the taxi driver said. "It's
simple . . just drive on the theory that, every
other driver you see is crazy."

Exeter has become park con-
scious and when the present
plans for Riverview Park ma-
terialize Exeter should have
something to be proud of,
AS it is Riverview Park is
being utilized ntore and more
for picnic purposes and as a
playground and swimming pool
for the. younger generation. As
the .years pass its value will. he
more and more apparent and
larger numbers of our citizens
and visitors will appreciate this
fine park.
The. first, park in Exeter was
Victoria Park on Huron Street,
it has been existence for more
than 75 years.-Prime movers
in the establishment of this park
was Samuel Sanders, father of
the late S. M. and W. D. Sand-
ers, also A. Q, Bobier, a for-
mer reeve of the village,
They had the foresight to
plant the trees and for a time
it was used considerably more

In High Placu
The book "Th 'High Place's"
written. by Arthur Hailey, which
won the $10,000 Doubleday novel
award, is now in your library, It
was chosen for serialization in
condensed version in MacLean's
Magazine and it is among the
ten most read books in the To-
ronto libraries,
It is a book about those who
live and struggle "in high
places." It is a high tension
novel of political turmoil and
international survival moving
between Ottawa, Vancouver,
London and Washington.
The novel centres around a
coming Act of Union between
Canada and the United States
and the terms are almost con-
cluded when a minor immigra-
tion incident—the case of the
20th century man with a country
—threatens to bring the Govern-
ment of Canada down in ruins,
What the author finds in high
places is not pleasant, incom-
petence abounds but there is
also an excessive amount of
corruption, ,greed and unscru.p-
tdous exercise of power. No one
expects politicians to be para-
gons of virtue any more than
any other cross-section of so-
ciety but Mr, Halley has exag-
gerated their short comings.
Pierre Burton says concerning
the book "An extraordinarily
readable book—even those whet
are infuriated by . its major'
Premise will have difficulty in
putting it down."
Arnold Edinborough, editor of
Saturday Night writes "a hook
compelling' in ite wisdom as it
is gripping in its plot."

zens as the Exeter band at that
time enjoyed an enviable repu-
tation as musicians.
One of the biggest events to
take place in the park, that

in 1920 when R. B. Bennett. visit-
ed Exeter in support of N. W,
Trewartha, of Clinton, Cons
servative candidate for the }furs
on riding. Mr. Bennett was ac-
companied by his sister.
A procession preceded the
meeting and music was pro.
vided by two bands, the Dash-
wood Band and the. Clinton
Kittle Band. B. M. Francis was
reeve. of Exeter at the time and.
presided for the meeting. The
town was gaily decorated for
the occasion, According to a re-
port in The Times-Advocate of
that meeting Miss Catherine
Armstrong presented a bouquet
of flowers to Miss Bennett and
Master 'Borden Sanders present-
ed a bouquet to Mrs. Trewartha.
.The Liberal candidate for that
election was Thomas MacMil-
lan, of Seaforth. While Mr. Mac-
Millen was elected with a ma-
jority of 310 over Mr. 'rye-
wartha., Mr. Bennett was elect-
ed prime minister for Canada,
succeeding Mr, Mackenzie King.

for one 'term only and was sue-
