The award is an authentic replica of a mortar and pestle dating back to Spain in the 15th century. It was presented April 24 by Rexall representative Cal Walker at the drug store. The historical mortar and pestle, still an important implement in the druggist's profession, is an ancient symbol of pharmacy. Its use for pulverizing medicinal herbs is recorded in the histories of ancient Egyptians, Hebrews of Biblical times and the Roman era. The 1958 trophy award carries the face of Medusa, Queen of the Gorgons, on all four quarters. Tales of Medusa abound in Greek mythology, the most famous being the story of Perseus who cut off her head. The myth was that anyone who looked on her face would be turned to stone.

Action came on a unanimous vote by the House of Delegates of the state association approving a resolution presented by Dr. Kenneth B. Castleton of Salt Lake City. Dr. Castleton, noting national support of fluoridation on the part of the American Medical Association, successfully called for similar action by Utah's physici- ans. "We should take the lead in public health matters such as this," said Dr. Castleton, adding that studies of a scientific nature dealing with fluoridation all show its value in cutting down dental caries in children. Most recent studies likewise show a sizeable effect in cutting the rate of dental decay in adults as well as children, In addition to supporting a fluoridation program through the state medical society, members of constituent groups of the Utah State Medical Association will act on the local and community level to bring about fluoridation of culinary water supplies, according to Dr. Reed W. Farnsworth, president of the organization. VeNile R. Russon Registers For Course in Boston VeNile R.
