From the Chemical Underworld David O. Woodbury, author of twenty-tw- o boo s on science for the layman, graduated from MJ.T. as an electrical engineer, but has spent his life writing, lecturing, teaching. and interpreting the amazing technology of modern times. He has appeared in the Readers Digest steadily for the past years, and in many other national magazines. twenty-fiv- e Fluorine, Peck's Bad Boy of the chemical underworld, made the atomic bomb possible. The only successful way to free the tiny quantities of fissionable Uranium-235- , buried in the inert mass of its parent, was to force uranium hexafluoride gas through many acres of porous barriers, gradually concentrating the precious element. In three 5 years of continuous battle, enough was finally collected to put an end to the Second World War. Hex," they called the vicious stuff, and Hex took its toll, rotting out barriers, eating piping and pumps, creating a worse hazard than radiation. Today, without a thought, 70 million U-23- 8, U-23- Americans swallow a daily dose of sodium fluoride with their drinking water. Linked to sodium, fluorine is not as violent as Hex, but violent enough in high concentrations to be the standard rat and roach killer and a first-rat- e pesticide. Yet this fluoride, inserted virtually by government edict into drinking water, in the proportion of 1 2 parts per million (ppm), is declared by the U.S. Public Health Service to be utterly safe." Every chemist knows that such utter safety is at best illusory. Nowhere is fluorine safe; nowhere is it required by nature in living things . . . though plants, animals, and people collect it willy-nillrisking a bout with the disease called fluorosis." Science has long been wary of fluorine; its salts are poisons (try and buy one at a drugstore). Until 1940 the Public Health Service warned against water contaminated with the stuff. The Food and Drug Administration still rules all fluorine drugs prescription items, though it long ago lost its jurisdiction over treated drinking water. In 1957, T. R. Camp, Chairman of the American Sanitary Engineering In-- The Salt Lake Board of Health has scheduled its monthly board meeting for a hearing and possible vote on City-Coun- ty fluoridation of the water supplies of the county. The public hearing is to be Thurs., May 4 from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. at the auditorium of the Salt Lake Health Department at 610 South 200 East. Fluoridation for Salt Lake County water supplies is being advocated by Dr. Harry L. Gibbons, director ef the health department. Gibbons and other advocates made their proposal public at a meeting of public officials held Apr. 17.

After about an hour in the bank, Mr. Kingsford left with his directives of the treasury department and presidential executive orders to support his position. Kingsford quoted from Blacks Law Dictionary to point out that notes (federal reserve) are not money, but rather that federal reserve note, having been gold and silver are money. Price unable to exchange it for what suggested that the matter be taken to the Secret Service or an he considered ten real dollars. His federal reserve note appropriate court. Kingsford indicates on its face that is was quoted from the U.S. issued by the Federal Reserve Constitution, Article 1, Section Bank and that it is redeemable 10 to point out that only gold on demand. The note also says, and silver could be made legal This note is legal tender for all tender. In a publication of the Federal debts, public and private, and is redeemable in lawful money at Reserve System, entitled The the United States Treasury, or at Federal Reserve System : any Federal Reserve Bank. The Purposes and Functions, it says, Federal Reserve no longer issues notes with a promise to pay. A Mr. Price, an official at the bank, offered to redeem Kingsfords ten dollar note in similar federal reserve notes of lower denomination. Kingsford asked for ten dollars in gold or silver, but Price asserted that gold and silver are not legal tender and that he could only give federal reserve notes or coins in exchange for the federal reserve note. Price referred to In the U.S. monetary structure the standard unit of value the dollar is defined as a weight of gold. The United States Code Annotated, Volume 31, Sections 314 and 321, define the dollar by weight in gold and instruct that all forms of money issued by the United States be maintained at a parity of value with the standard of the gold dollar. Two friends who accompanied Kingsford refused to give ten dollars in gold for the ten dollar Anonymous (a self-hel- p program) feels an irresistable urge to succumb to the Internal Revenue Service due to their coersion and threats, he has available a list of anonymous telephone numbers to call to ease his fears and bring Farm Bureau Chief Attacks Govt Deficits note, claiming that the note is not worth ten dollars.

These were the views expressed by President William J. Kuhfuss of the American Farm Bureau Federation when he addressed the studentbody at BYU Apr. 20. I recognize workers, including farm workers, have the negotiate with respect to the product they sell, which is said Kuhfuss, but labor, workers should have a say in who represents them. To grant labor the monopoly that it now enjoys or assumes is neither right or fair. In the beginning, the labor movement needed some, legislative assistance in order to cope with the imbalances under which it was operating, but today positions are reversed 2nd the pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction.
