While a man can be arrested on

gracious hostess, serves her guests,

advice to youthful guests.. "You

But "fortified" sherry is something -

16 degrees of "Meoholic content,

champagne 11, port (natural) 16,
(fortified) 22. Youth CAN get
drunk on sherry. Few people do,
perhaps, for it is usually taken in
small quantities. It would seem
to be an ideal "first drink" wine
for young people in that type of
home where mother serves bever-

.QUT ON A LIMB
WITH BRA. SMILEY
I see where the government is
thinking of letting municipalities
fluoridate -their drinking water, if
they so wish. As I was present
when - the anti -fluoridation forces
reteeived their death -blow, I thought
ydu might like to hear about It.
• • • •
For years, there have been two
violent factions involved in this
fluoridation business. Each has ac-
cused the 'Hair of fanaticism,
homicidal' mania, and the like. In
my own unsolicited opinion, both
sides are riddled by crackpots end
self-appointed do-gooders.
* • • •
Personally, I lean slightly toward
the anti -fluoridation side, for no
logical reason except that I'm tired
of people telling line cigarettes are
riddling my lungs with cancel.,
alcohol is shrivelling my liver to
a sad little sac, and my skull is
beginning to show on top because
I don't brush my hair a hundred
strokes morning and night.
* *
I feel the same way about my
teeth as I do about my lungs, liver
and scalp. If I want to let them
rot, that's my business. 1 know, I
know, what about my children's
teeth? Well, if they want to let
them rckt, that's. their business, too.
They've been told often enough
that they wouldn't have a tooth
left in their heads if they didn't
stop eating candy. Their immediate
reaction is an interested look, then
they start making faces at each
other, pretending they have no
teeth, then they ask for a nickel
to get some candy, so their teeth
will fall 0(0 as soon as possible.
* * * *
Somehow I don't think our child-
ren will add anything special 'to
the vulture of the ages just because
they can all go around flashing a
big mouthful of perfect teeth at
each other, twenty years from now.
I refuse to believe that, because
they will have choppers that can
snap through a steel bar, they'll
enjoy their meals any more, or be
more intelligent, honest, or brave.
• * * *
However, I drift. The anti -fluor-
idation group committed • harikari
in the Legislature last week, with
a Mr. Grossman, M.L.A. for a
Toronto riding, wielding honorable
knife.

Huron County
Farm R.port
By A. bit..,, Asst. A. :
Last week the ground hid dried
sufficiently to allow farmers in the
South end of the County to start
spring plowing and top_ dressing
or wheat and hay and pasfu're. If
favorable weather continues, seed-
ing cbuld start within a week.
Wheat and legume crops appear to
have wintered reasonably well but
some could no doubt benefit from
an addition of ammonium nitrate
within the next couple of weeks.
Although there has been a strong
demand for gary oats the supply
of seed is expected -to meet the
' demands. Brant barley is very
scarce and has reached a price of
$3.35 per bushel for registered'
seed. An extremely good run of
maple sap has been reported dur-
1/4ing the past week. According to
some, it was the best run of sap
in the past five years. •
* * *
I was visiting the local member,
and he had fixed_ me up with a
seat in the gallery, to hear the°
debates. He was poised on the
edge of his seat, ready to leap up
'with a piercing question that would
skewer a cabinet minister. I was
sitting on the edge of my seat,
pencil poised, ready to take home
some of the clash and.din, the cut,
and thrust, of parliamentary de-
bate, to the readers in the home
riding. His fellow party members
were on the edges of their seats,
ready toapplaud him to the
rafters. _ ,
-* * *
So Mr. Grossman craftily sought,
and got the permission of the
Speaker, and the forebearance of
the Members, while he spoke a few
words on fluoridation. That was
fine. I was rather interested, it
would only take a few minutes, and
then the 'fireworks would begin.
* *
Mr ,Grossman was against fluor-
idation of drinking water. Oh, how
lie AVai against it! Ile was a:minst
it for one hour and forty minutes.
Ile was again.st it though stages
of sweet reasonableness, throbbing
sincerity. defiant martyrdom, sol-
emn warning and, in his perora-
tion, flaming heroism as he stood
on the'ramparts of tire rights of
man and hurled back the balbarian
hordes who wanted to add one part
of fluoride to one million parts of
water.
* 4.
He paused only to take. triumph-
ant gulps of unfluoridated water.
His fellow -members listened in pro-
gressive stages of polite disinter-
est, crashing boredom, utter hope-
lessness, and writhing rage as.' he
plodded through innumerable ar-
ticles and. editorials, reading them
verbatim. He read well.
• * *
By the tine he neared the' end,
the Assembly bore some similarity
to Union Station, what with the
pageboys dashing about like red-
caps,' as they fetched 'water and
daily papers, the Members slumped
n their scats like soldiers trying
to sleep between trains,- other
Members wandering in and out of
the lavatories, or for a .smoke, and
Mr. Grossman bellowing data with
the monotony Of a stationmaster
calling the stops of the 4.35 train.
• ,* * 4,
Mr. Grossman meant well. He
was sincere. H. had gone to a lot
of trouble getting all that stuff
together. He should have gone to
the movies instead.
* • * •
Ile finally stopped ,beating a dead
horse, and ended with a fervent
appeal for support, something
along - the line of throwing the
torch from faltering hands, be
yours to hold it high., The torch,
practically In midair. turned into
.1 boomerang.
• • • * • I.
M.L.A. Harold Fishleigh, who de-
lights in being termed ,"irrepres-
sible" by. the press, rose and said
that in his office four people were
for fluoridation, four against, and
those who were for it all had
false teeth.
• • •
"What," snapped theexhausted
Mr. Grossman, "does that prove?"
undaunted by the fpct that he had
no answer, Mr. Fishleigh resorted
Ito a retort worthy of a witty nine-
! year-old. , "It proves that you're
all wet." at which brilliant sally
