THI INDIAN VALLEY RECORD THURS., DECEMBER 27, 1951 NEW 5-PERCENTER TWIST • Just when Administration spokesmen and expcdnem were praying that all that tive-percenter furor, with its over- tones and ramifications o! gift mink coats and reiriqeratom, would die down a bit, Harry himseli startles the public with a new twist on the issue. Ninety-five percent of Federal officials and workers, say= Mr, Truman with an air of complacent pride, are honest and trustworthy. There are well over two million people working for the Government. Of these, by the Presi- dent's own estimate, five percent---or over 100,000 tax-paid people--are neither honest nor trustworthy, One wonders how long a bank could hold the con- fldence of its community if it announced that one employee in every twenty might be expected to blow the safe and light out for Mexico any night? WILLOUGHBY'S CHARGES Some old ldlers may "just fade away." But some don't. Certainly not Major General Charles Willoughby, former chief intelligence officer for General MacArthur. His charges of bias in news reporting made against halt a dozen leading war correspondents has put him back in the limelight very decidely, and not very favorably. The report- ers accused are among the most able and reputable. Wil- loughby's accusations smack too much of an attempt to alibi for the debacle in the end-the-war offensive which was launched by General MacArthur late last falL His- torians and arm chair strategists will argue over that mill- move for many years to come. Whether or not it should have been made and just why it failed involves many un- answered questions. But whoever was responsible, we hard- ly believe it was a halt dozen reporters. SOMETHING NEW IN COOPERATION An innovation was introduced recently by the Four- Square Church in Tujung CaliL, when it suggested a day in which all the churches of the community might unite in a day of praer in behalf of the boys fighting in Kore . All the churches cooperated--which is a fine exm-nple to all orcsanat!ons everywhere all the time. / / IN THE IlmlAN VALLEY RECORD WISHING ALL OF YOU A M=y roll your troubles melt GOVERNOR EARL WARREN confers with "Official Greet- ers" on his first day in office as California Chairman for the 1952 March of Dimes.

FReeDOM INFRIN{;ED BY CO0000P[ILSORY USE OF FLUORIDES The crusade of organized den- tistry to add a chemical tincture to public drinking water--a pro- cess termed "fluoridation" es- tablished a firm beachhead in Central California last fortnight and proposed "to march from town to town" with this appli- cation of a treatment to check tooth decay in children. With the turning of a valve, the small town of Rio Vista on the Sacramento River became the first community in California to apply a mixture of sodium silico- fluoride to its municipal water supply, thus providing its 1,800 citizens with fluoride - treated water, termed "the most impor- tant means of reducing dental decay yet discovered by science." While 'Rio Vistans sipped this ater spiked with 1.2 parts of chemical fluoride per million parts of water and found it tasted just the same, voters in San Francis- co were puzzling out the pro and con of Proposition 'M" on their November ballot which, if approv- ed. would sanction the same treat- ment for that city's huge water supply. Earlier this year, the State Leg- islature defeated a measure that would have absolved political sub- divisions, such as PAo Vista and San Francisco, from liability should fluoride-treated water have an unfortunate reaction upon a drinker. The California State Dental Association and most public health officers in the state have been vigorously pushing the fluo- ridation program in Northern California. Just as vigorously, the. Christian Science Church has been opposing the campaign to make what they term a "gigantic medi- cine. bottle" of the public water supply. Elected public officers find this strong contention over the seem- ingly simple question of children's dental health most distressing and are prone to duck the issue via the ballot route. Hence the current election issue in San Francisco and the negative re- action of the legislators. The Dental Association, most doctors and public health author- ities cite medical research of 20 years and claim 40% to 50% de- cline in tooth decay among children where fluoride has been added to the drinking water or appears naturally. nristian Scientists, however, while not necessarily disputing this claim or the sincerity of ad- vocates of fluoridation, deem such water processing to be "mass medication." Editorial Stand• A recent Christian Science Monitor' editor- MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS Notice is hereby given that tke ors of the Indian Valley Bank. tll be held at the banking f- Annual Meeting of the Stockhold- lice in the town of Greenville, California, on Saturday, Jan. 12, ]952 at two-thirty o'clock P.NI., for the purpose of the Election of Directors and such other business as may come before them. Cecilia :hi. Chamberlain, Secretary. (Dec. 27, Jan. 3-10) ial stated the chuch's case this way. "Dental health is a rivate af- fair, and there are many who prefer to keep the freedom to decide for themselves how to deal with it. This they cannot do if public water is medicated as re- commended, for then they must either submit to the medication or go thirsty. "A fundamental freedom is in- volved her. The right of indivi- duals who depend on prayer rath- er than drugs to maintain health is infringed by blanket medication. This basic religious freedom ls precious, and cannot be conven- iently ignored every time a new "cure all" is suggested. Certainly it is within the scope of techni- cal possibility as well as con- science to provide for those who want it without forcing it upon everyone . . .
