number of votes, Donmover
noted, is truly a man worthy of
this honor and has given un­selfishly
of his time for over

athletic events without fail. In
his free time, he also served the
school by attending clinics and

Council Hears Flourid ation Debate,
Asks Engineer for Specifications
Lititz Borough Council Tues­day
night heard statements for
and against flouridation of the
borough water supply and asked
the borough engineer to bring
cost estimates for flouridation to
the next meeting.
Speaking in favor of flourida­tion
was Dr. Roy Yeager, Lititz
dentist. While councilman Floyd
Hagy expressed vigorous op­position.
Other councilmen asked
questions about the flouridation,
but did not make any comment
on it.
Hagy was the only council­man
to vote against the motion
to request specil'ieations for
flouridation from the engineer,
Wilson Smith of Huth Engineers,
for consideration at the next
council meeting.
Dr. Yeager said that numerous
studies have shown that flouride
in water at the rate of one part
per million wil give 60 per cent
resistance to tooth decay in chil­dren
and that this protection of
teeth continues throughout life.
While dentists do not recom­mend
flouride at rates more than
one part per million, it often oc­curs
in nature at rates of five to
26 parts per million without any
known ill effects for people, he
said.
Dr. Yeager emphasized that
dentists increasingly are preach­ing
preventive dentistry because
tooth decay is “increasing at an
alarming rate.” He attributed
The Lititz Jaycees completed
three work projects in June.
The local club repaired the
pavilion roof and painted the
band shell in Lititz Springs
Park.
The Jaycees weeded and cut
the shrubbery at the Lititz
Library.
Besides lime and manpower,
this to the “terrible’’ eating
habits of Americans. The diet
increasingly includes candy,
chewing gum and snacking all
evening long ,he noted.
Hagy said that a recent letter
in the Record-Express by his
daughter in opposition to the
proposed flouridation expressed
his own feelings.
He said flouridation benefits
only a few years in the life of
children. Dr. Yeager, however,
stated that benefits which occur
in childhood are carried through
life. While beginning flourdation
now would not benefit older per­sons,
persons who have flouri-c'ated
water in childhood will
have better teeth as adults as a
result, he said.
Hagy stated that “there arc
countless other places to put
money. Flouridation is a luxury.”
Ilaby also contended that
“you and I are loosing freedom
of choice.” He stated that per­sons
can have floridated teeth
without having floridated water.
But Dr. Yeager said the in­dividual
approach is costly and
has not proven satisfactory.
Hagy said that flouride builds
up in the body. Dr. Yeager said
this is true, but the build-up oc­curs
in bones and teeth, causing
no harm even in areas where
flouride occurs naturally in
water supplies at rates many
times the recommended amount.
He said flouride and calcium arc
the Jaycees donated all the ma­terials
necessary for these pro­jects.
The organization also donated
$50 to the Bob Harding family
to help them through their
troubled times. Harding, of 510
Golden St., Lititz, recently re­ceived
heart surgery and has
had an extended illness.
both important in developing
teeth which are resistant to de­cay.
Hagy also statt'd that many
western towns have had flourida­tion
and then voted it out.
But Dr. Yeager contended this
has usually happened because of
rumors which have not been
based on scientific facts. All
scientific studies have found that
flouridation helps stop decap and
there are no adverse effects on
health, he said.
He also noted that the Ameri­can
Medical Association, the
American Dental Association,
various federal and state health
agencies and numerous other or­ganizations
support flouridation.
