Gray Vs. Scott Fluoridation Of Marion Wafer Studied Marion will probably add fluoride to its water supply next summer, council members told a group of parents Thursday night. Members of the Jefferson School Parent-Teachers McKinley School PTA and Logan School Parents Club heard Dr. C. L.

Friend advocate use of the chemical. Dr. Friend, of Carbondale, Illinois Department of Health dental consultant, said fluoridation is a controversial topic. He said 95 per cent of the people are affected by tooth decay. Defects are developing more rapidly than dentists can correct.

Only by preventive measures can the problem be met and scientists have reported excellent results from fluoridization of water supplies; he said. Ten-year studies in cities which have added fluoride to water supplies have shown 65 per cent less tooth decay, protection of teeth "of young children throughout life, care costs reduced and better health. No Tasts Dr. Friend said cost of fluoridation is 5 to 14 cents per person a year. Water is not affected since fluoride cannot be seen, smelled or tasted.

He said 1,230 cities with 25 million population have started treating their water. There are 90 cities in Illinois with four million population having fluoridization. They include Carbondale, Chester and Sesser. Dr. Friends said fluoride is not a cure-all and not 100 per cent effective but is the most effective prevention known.

Only children born and reared on fluoridized water receive the full beneht but all others up to 18 have a drop in percentage ot decay. Local dentists must approve flu oridation and the Gty Counci must pass an ordinance and submit it to the Department of Health. Plans for installation of equipment must be approved by the state. J. H.

McAIpin, L. Keller and W. E. Williams said they will submit a mitten approva to the Marion Council. Commissioner Bill Armstrong, in charge of the water plant, said he thought the Council would co along with fluoridzation when re pairs are made to the plant next summer or fall.

Commissioner Ray mond McCormick also indicated approval Fluoridation is endorsed by every major national health assoaanon. ivirs.

Ikm By Dan HaHoran Of The Soutrem Hiinoisan Clarence Hammond, cf Scruggs i Hammond, Peoria city planners, told a group in Herrin Thursday a city plan is basically the co-ordination of ill physical aspects of a ory for the good of all its residents. Hammond outlined the dry planning procedure at the Hrrrin City HalL The Herrin Junior Gahmber of Commerce has initiated a move for a planned development of the city. Hammond suggested interested residents form a committeee to organize the move and request action from the City Council. The mayor could in turn appoint planning and zoning commissions to work with a city planner on the project Quite often, he said, a single group serves as both commissions. The commission should be composed of members representng geographical and other interests within the city.

Cost Estimate He estimated a survey of Herrin would take from 15 to 18 months at a cost figured at the rate of about $1.25 for each resident or approximately $12,500. A saving of about $2,000 could be realized if residents aid in the plan survey, he said. Planners would attempt to anticipate and make provision for developments 20 years in the future, he said Major factors to be considered in the plan would be roads and streets, industry, commerce, housing, public buildings, transportation, schools, parks, playgrounds and zoning regulations. The general nature of the region would also be a factor to be weighed by planners. Zoning Later Zoning regulations would be set up only after the comprehensive plan has been completed, he said.

Hammond said that, ideally, res idential sections should be adjacent to but not within, industrial sections. Provisions for adequate street and roads to the developing sections must also be considered. However, highways should not election.

The instructions include a request the "watcher 'or "challenger" to be at the polls before they open at 6 a.m. and stay until they close at 5 p.m. In giving the instructions, Bar- Jackson County Judge Peyton Kunce, who has direct charge of election proceedings, said the poll watcher plan is perfectly within election laws. He said the statutes provide judges at each polling place may allow at least one and not more than two pollwatchers from each party.

The watchers may sit at the polls all through the voting and through the counting after polls close. They are not allowed to touch or handle any votes or election materials. Pollwatchers normally are assigned by county of political parties. rett said the 1954 eWi'nn Paul Douglas won by 240,000 votes. "After the voters marked for Sen.

Reading the instruction from the back of the kit, Barrett indicated there may have been errors in counting the votes. Barrett said the kit explains: "No one has explained why Illinois voters would vote for Paul Douglas, then cross the ballot to vote for two RerniMiVans ukji cross back and vote Republican the balance of the ballot. Obviously something has been going on. Many precincts held back their vote totals in downstate Illinois to wait and see th County majority, and some reports were delayed for days.

Could Share Costs He suggested the cost of the survey be shared by the various interests within the city, such 3S the Council, school system and park district.

The City Council must approve the comprehensive plan and the related zoning ordinance. Upon approval, the appointed zoning commission is dissolved. However, the planning commission would remain in existence to serve as adviser. A third instrument, subdivision regulations, can also be approved by the Council to give 'the city a measure of control over the development of area within a mile and a halt of the corporate limits of the city which may eventually be annexed. The comprehensive plan is a prerequisite for the subdivision regulations.

Minor appeals of ronine regu lations would be handled by a zoning appeal board set up under the program, Hammond said. Ma- 1 1 jor cnanges in the zoning regulations would necessitate Council action. Two Showman Tsngla Showmanship helped the cause for both debaters in a political "forum" Thursday night in Shryock Auditorium, Carbondale. The surprise element scored for challenger Samuel Jack Scott, Republican candidate for representative from the 25th Congressional District. His major point was tallied during his opponent's first speech.

When incumbent Rep. Kenneth J. Gray, Democrat of West Frankfort who seeks reelection, repeated his charge that Scott's home is actually in Arlington, Va. well outside the 25th District he stated "and Mrs. Scott' is in Arlington now.

At that, Mrs. Scott's voice came from within the audience. She called out "No I'm not, I'm right here!" Later, Mrs. Scott moved up to the platform on invitation from the speakers, making her first public appearance of the campaign. Gray came in late, carrying an armload or books, saying "I'm loaded for bear tonight." He cited them, almost one by one, as evidences supporting points made in his major speech.

The cor-ordination of school and park facilities can be desirable, he added. If unoccupied tarcts of land arc set 'aside for eventual industrial development, the sites become more attractive to industry and avoid a hazard for residents who might otherwise build in the area, he said. The plan would define areas aniLbie for cuiamexdal development and make prevision for park ing facilities.

All aspects of housing, including available sites, traffic arteries and other considerations would be weighed as well as arrangements for public build- Transportation faauuci ivta.
