Show Templars Close Grid Season with Loss to Moab Manti High School closed out its football season over the weekend by losing a 28-decision to Moab, which thus won its way into the Class quarterfinals. The Templar touchdown resulted from a Dari McBride to Kyle Rowley 72 yard pass that Rowley ran into the end zone. Otherwise the Manti offense was pretty well bottled up by a tough and alert Moab defensive 6 2-- unit. The game ended the high school football careers for seven Manti High School seniors: Chad Allred, captain, a running back on offense and a linebacker on defense, who missed the last game because of an injury: Paul Monson and Mike Cox, ends; Rod Rowley, reserve and defensive quarterback and Guthrie back; Terry Johnson, tackles, and Ron Mc-Kra- y Bowman, a guard. Most of the starters are juniors and will return for another season. We had only 26 players on the squad and because of injuries became shorthanded, increasingly As a Coach Phil Hall said. result some of the boys had to play on both the offensive and defensive units. "Id like to add that this team includes some of the finest young men I have ever coached. Almost always we were playing against teams that outweighed and outmanned us, but the Templars never quit trying. Manti High School finished the season ahead of Emery and San Juan in the Region 7 standings. Juab and Delta tied for the region championship. Region 7 teams that will continue on in quarterfinal The Birch Log Massachusetts The people who want to force you to drink fluoridated water wont tell you, but the High Court of Holland has recently made fluoridation illegal in that country. The Court gave two main reasons for its ban: (1) a water supply should not be used as a transporter of medicine, and (2) there was scientific evidence linking fluoridation to cancer. If reasons like these make sense in Holland, why not in America, especially since the data linking fluoridation and cancer were compiled by Americans? (The data, from the private National Health Federation of Monrovia, California, have been challenged by the government-connected National Cancer Institute.) Belmont, Prevent Dental Cavities? The argument in favor of fluoridation, of course, has always been that it will lead to a reduction in dental cavities in children. After studying the case for and against such a contention, we find that the arguments for fluoridation are flimsy at best, and at worst are full of deceit. But you ought to check it out for side, contact yourself. For the the American Dental Association, via any dentist. For the opposing position, we recommend the book Fluoridation and Truth Decay, by researcher Gladys Caldwell and Philip E. M.D. (Top-EcPress, 18146 Van Owen, Reseda, California 91335, $3.50). Before getting bogged down solely in the pros and cons of the cavity issue, however, you should be aware that there are many other solid Zan-fagn- arguments against fluoridation, having nothing to do with teeth. Any single argument ought to be enough to stop compulsory fluoridation. Arguments Against Fluoridation While the Dutch High Court noted the possible link between fluoridation and cancer, it said nothing about additional statistical evidence linking fluoridation to heart disease. In niiiill11 nurse named Isabel Jansen charged that there was a probable causal relationship between an alarming increase in deaths in her community and introduction of fluorides into the water supply. With the help of a professional statistician, she later researched national health records and added considerable corroboration to her charge. Another argument against fluoridation is based on the proponents admission that it will help the teeth of young children only. Why then force everyone to ingest it? It is further universally agreed that fluoride will lead to mottling of teeth an effect which promoters have actually praised. But many doctors will confirm that mottled teeth probably mean mottled bones. In addition, fluorides are known to build up in the body rather than pass through like most other substances. What harm this admittedly dangerous poison does wherever it accumulates is still heart-relate- d unknown. What About Free Choice? Perhaps the most compelling argument against compulsory fluoridation is a persons right to be left alone. Except perhaps in the event of a contagious epidemic that threatens everyone, the right to refuse medication should be sacrosanct. But how does one refuse what is put into water at its source? Nor is it proper to liken chlorination, which treats water, to fluoridation, which treats people. Years ago, a charge was made that compulprosory fluoridation was a Communist-lik- e gram because it assumed dangerous totalitarian powers. Many scoffed at such a suggestion. Years latef, a Tufts University professor proposed adding birth control drugs to the water supply to control population growth. Whereupon some of the scoffing stopped. ' Let those who want fluorides purchase them and use them to their hearts delight. The rest of us will take care of ourselves, thank you. 1976 The John Birch Society Features Round Done Roast Round Bone Swiss Steak Chuck Steak 75 lb. 39 lb. lb. 75 lb. ground beef Kraft American Cheese V-- 8 2-- Wasatch Friday at 3 p.m. at Fork High School; Spanish Juab, which will play Grants-vill- e Friday at 1 at Pleasant Grove; Moab, which will meet Morgan Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Snow College, and Delta, which will play the survivor of a playoff at a time and four-wa- y place not yet determined. nitStresses o urn' ure. - a sensational a highly specof expose public ulative danger generates pressure for a new government regulation.

One such mechanism, he said, would be to require each regulatory agency to prepare a detailed set of short-rang- e e and business plans to be presented to and concurred on by the President and Congress.
