Hall SAID SHEW0ULD NOT CASE TO HAVE It seems to me that todays employer who says that he has no problem drinkers in his organization, is not unlike the employe who insists he has no problem with alcohol. Neither is facing the realities of the situation. They are alike too in that each is paying a heavy penalty Northern Utah UniServ According to district office statistics, over an HIM IN MY HOME... I WOULD eight-yea- r period (1967-6- 8 to the present) the total maintenance and operation budget of the Box Elder School district increased a total of 66.7 percent. During the same period, teacher salaries increased 57.2 percent. The district, however, so teacher granted additional fringe benefits rose at as the rate same the district about pay DISASSOCIATE MYSELF FBDM HIM' for his illusion. I am quoting Mr. James S. Kemper, Jr., president of Kemper Insurance group. Major industries throughout the world, have established sound policies and programs to assist the problem drinker, or the developing alcoholic. The results have been mutually beneficial. The individual (and family) is no longer suffering the physical, psycological and sociological anguish of the disease alcoholism. On the other hand, the employer is enjoying a decrease in absenteeism, and an increase in work performance. There are many other benefits too numerous to relate in this limited space. In this community, we realize that individual programs by each employer and some industries is costly, to the point of being prohibitive. However, utilizing the existing resources of the community, i.e., Box Elder Alcohol Information and Counseling services, at a substantial savings to the employer and community, could be realized. However with interest and desire of the entire community, other resources could be made available to give a more complete treatment to the individual with the need. I am pointing out that if employers and the community are interested in decreasing production costs and helping the alcoholic, there are means to get the job done. For information, contact us at 6 North Main or telephone income. All fringes considered, teacher salaries have continued to absorb about the same percentage of the M & O budget. The increases have approximately kept pace with the cost of living increases, and there are statistics to show that the average teacher now receives about $60 more in actual buying power than in 1967-6True, teacher salaries are a major item in the M & O budget but since they continue to constitute about the same percentage of that five budget, the district deficit years ago) is certainly not a result of overpaying teachers. 8.

The event was City superbly staged. TTie results of the Logan-Brighafluoridation study are not news since similar results of the 5 Newburgh-Kingsto- n are on record and study of scienhifically much more reliable. The City fluoridation study results as regards reduction in DMF rates in Brigham City are of very little scientific validity, if the kids in the BC test group and the Logan control group also used a fluoride toothpaste. If we are to believe the great effectiveness of fluoride toothpastes as per TV ads, then the kids in the Logan control group should at least show a noticeable reduction in tooth decay reates, even if their water is not (for the present at least) fluoridated. Therefore, to be fair, we must say that the Brigham City improvements are due to fluoridated water plus fluoride toothpastes plus topical applications plus better brushing technique plus fluoride tablets, if any. You might be interested to learn that Dr. L.S. Fosdick found after careful testing that good oral hygiene plus a toothpaste resulted in a 63 regular (neutral) in reduction tooth decay (vide: J.A.D.A. 40:133, percent No m better way to celebrate by Lea Cottam, Box Elder News Staff Writer m With the United States Bicentennial a year away, Americans are looking back through 200 years of history.

In answer to a question posed by Barbara Grossman, Dr. Wright incorrectly stated that fluoridation in Brigham City is based on an ordiance ; let me assure him that there is no such ordinance in the Brigham City Civil code, but there should be!

Since Dr. Wright told us all that traces of natural fluoride are found in all water supplies, the absence of fluoride from all water supplies in all of Cache county is impossible or at least improbable. The Brigham City figures in 1955 and 1966 are given as 0.20, while the record shows the fluoride content in the Brigham water to be 0.09 or 0.10 This error is inexcusable in a study laying claim to scientific validity on basis of data computerized at the U of U (department of On the basis of this news conference the domino theory with regard to the introduction of fluoridation all along the Wasatch Front will nmw become a reality, but I feel we are already receiving the benefits and after all : misery loves company.

For more than a hundred years, the US has been stitching her people, her nation and her heritage back together. Not all the wounds have been healed. Although progress has been made, current history, such as the Boston race contentions, tears the seam open again. Veterans of World War I and World War II still recall the victories and glories of making the world safe for democracy. The mist-fillememories yearn to return to those days. Somehow, the horrors, pain, dying and maiming are no longer a part of the past adventures for most. Perhaps it is best. d The Korean conflict and the Vietnam war brought new, more sophisticated weapons (The following is the first in a series of three articles by Mrs. Beth Gurrister, chairman of this years Fourth of July ceremony in Brigham City.

The quasi freedom and tactics on the world slaughter market. Nations could kill more people than ever before so the citizens of any country in the world could have the opportunity to have their maimed and burned remains buried in a land where their children could, supposedly, live in peace Perhaps the lives were the necessary price for freedom. Perhaps rights and priviledges taken for granted today by so many today, would have been lost long ago if it had not been for the rivers of blood. But the horrors of wars, as well as the victories and glories, should be quietly remembered by every citizen on the 200th anniversary of the founding of the United States. There is no better way to celebrate the accomplishments and progress of a nation, whose heritage and culture shout to the world of equality and freedom, than with 201 years as an example of peace and brotherhood to the rest of the world. ll 6.

Early, the voices spoke not of independence, even as they left the mother country. Rather, their vision and practicality was to bring with them their heritage of liberties and ful those to which they had been denied. The words of those indomitable refugees to a new world speak loud and clear of their time for all times: In the name of God, Amen. We whose names are underwritten ... having undertaken, for the glorie of God, and advancement of the Christian faith, and honour of our king and countrie, a voyage to plant the first colonie ... covenant and combine ourselves together ...(to) frame such just and equall lawes, ... for the generall good of the Colonie Mayflower Compact 1620 Dutiful allegiance to the king and the right to govern ourselves was explicit with the first buckel shoe to step on these shores. Yet points of friction grew in the first 100 years. During the cresendo of hostilities in 1776 Oliver Woolcott could write in obvious exasperation and regret: The Abilities of a Child might have governed this Country, so strong had been their attachment to Britain.
