APPEALING TO PARENTS & FRIENDS OF ALL SCOUTS IN MILO If the Scout program is to con­

tinue, more Den Mothers for Cubs and leaders for Girl Scouts must volunteer . Scout standards cannot be obtained with the shortage of leaders that now exists . Cubs without Dens do not get any of the basic learning, to become a Boy Scout.

Two Senior Girl Scouts with the assistance of two Boy Scouts have been holding Den meetings at the Scout Hall for some of the boys without Dens. One mother has had to resign and five more boys want to join this group. This is a lot for High School students to do with their own Scout program and schoolactivities. Knowing the benefits that Scouting offers for these boys, they like to help them obtain it.

There is a lso a shortage of Gir l Scout assistant leaders . One Leader is working with a Brownie troop and Junior troop in Derby running both troops without any assistant.

Mothers, Grandmothers, Friends, these Scouts need your help.

Let's have some Volunteers! Call 943 - 8809 or 943-2385.

"WHO AM 1" Through centuries - in drama tical plays, in novels, in poems ,

in words ~ ithasbeen said again and again that all man are ap­to.rs on the stage called, "Life".

I believe this to be t.J:ue. And man, in his time, plays many parts on that stage. William Shakespeare, for one counts off seven parts, begimJ.ing with the infant puking in the nurse's arms, then the. whining schoolboy creeping like a snail unwillingly to school , then the lover sighing like a furnace until at last the se­nile old man, in second childhood, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

So runs the course of human life, each man playing one role after another, except that we moderns find life not so orderly, with each role following neatly after the other on the calendar.

Instead, life feels jumbled and cluttered, withroles confused, and we play many parts s imultaneously, putting masks on ·and taking them off, and not limited to seven, but seventy times seven are the roles we play: student or teacher or worker at the daily job; citizens and churchmen, parent, child andbothatonce; lover chasing or being chased; believer or agnostic, depending on the company, or the provocation. We put on masks to disguise and dress ~P ourselves: to appear knowledgable to help a friend, or sophisticated to impress a non - friend, or generous when expected to be generous. We play the role of a leader when we have no confidence of e ven finding our own way and we play interested when our real interests are somewhere else. Behind the masks of strength we are too weak to rule our own life, because we are too afraid of defea t, and too afraid of victory! Many masks and countless roles come with everyday's living as we change our scenes .

So I ask: I wonder what my image is to others? What do other people think of me? and say of me? What image have I of my-self? Cont'd. on page 7

FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK Cont'd. from page 6 Image peddler please Show me who I am Pleads man In every age of wonder To the sage who responds with a mirror. Once, One responded with a glass Which we looked through and saw ... darkly Who we are.

This little verse appeals to my dull sense that in reality I as apersonam something with a shape: that to be a person means somethingdefinite. Manis a functioning, living organism. Yes; I must accept this as part of the truth. ·However, I still understand myself to be "created in the image

of God." This must mean that at least I possess rational powers and caH think abstractly about beauty and goodness and truth. It must mean self-transcendence: I know myself to be a self, I stand off and look at myself, I remember and I foresee, and I know thati remember and foresee. It must mean that I stand be­fore God, free to say yes or no, and responsibly for my Yea­sayingandmy Nay -saying, because I believe myself to be fr.ee.

What kind of r. person am I really, underneath, behind the masks? Let us ask this question seriously and soul-searchingly.

in nearly every food you eat? You cannot get away from it unless you eat nothing but cab­bage, beets and cauliflower, cooked in distilled water . Seafoods and tea have the

We feel that a newspaper should express the views of the people, the addition of 1 part per million of sodium or calcium or til however much we might agree or disagree with them. (stannous) fluoride is negligible when considered on this basis.

To the Editor The Town Crier Milo, Maine In tile issue of your paper dated March 6, 1967 there 'ippears

on page 6 the following, "To make sure your 'vote on the ques­tion of fluoridation is really the one you mean, read the infor­mationon both sides of the issue." On page 10 appears the fol­lowing "Ask your doctor and dentist what they recommend be­fore you vote on Milo's fluoridation. 11

Both the above suggestions are excellent. Unfortunately, there is little time before town meeting day to do much study. Thereareanumber of questions which I would like to have an­

swered. In the course of my efforts to learn something, I have come across refrences to calcium fluoride, stannous fluoride, sodium fluoride and sodium silicofluoride. Which one are we asked to approve for Milo? Wh·ere fluoride occurs naturally in water, which one of the a­

bove is present? Is it the same as tile one recommended for Milo? If not the same, is it stronger or weaker? Does cooking witil fluoridated water increase or decrease the

concentration of fluoride? What effect does fluorides have on enzymes? The United States Public Health Service r ecommends one part

of fluoride to one million parts of water. How many parts per million does tile same Service specify as rendering the water unfit for drinking? How many parts per million cause mottled teeth? Yellow teeth?

Brown teetil? Black teeth? What is the actual evidence that fluoride in drinking water is

"safe"? What tests have been made? Does tile actual experience of otiler communi ties justify the claim stated onpage14oftheMarch2issue that "To do so---- causes no damage to water mains, to any industry, our gardens and lawns, our wasji.ng machines and dryers, pots and pans, or our people"'? By tile way, after reading again the claims stated in the Feb­

ruary 23 and March 2 issues, I am in doubt as to whether the addition of fluorides is to couse softening of the bones of older people or prevent such softenings? Which is the claim? Until such time as can get satisfactory answers to these and other questions, such as, what are tile possible long-range cumulative toxic effects in the human system, we should vote no on the question of adding a known poison to our public water system.

When water runs over the land it will pick up trace amounts o many elements. If the1·e is natural fluoride present, it would bt found in combination with any and all of the above elements. Tht type added would depend upon what the State recommended as th• safest, most economical and most practical. As for which i stronger or weaker, if the fluoride is present in 1 part per mill ion in natural water and 1 part per willion in artificially fluori dated water, it is like asking which is the most, 50 cents or half dollar?

As to the safety of fluoridated water, "a toxic dose of roughl 10 grams would require drinking 2, 500 gallons of water fluori dated to the extent of 1 part per million within a few minutes c time." For generations over 1_,_000, 000 people in the Unite State.s hq_ve been Uving all their li v·es in areas where tile w:n:e contains concentrations as high or higher than recommended fo denta.lhealtil. Studies by competent investigators have shovm n adverse physiological effect. Evsry national heal·th organizatio intheUnited Statesthatspeakswithauthority on the benefits an safety of r1uoridation has adopted policies favorable to the meas ure.

Cooking with fluoridated water would have no effect unless th above 2500 gallons were boiled dewn to a very few gallons an this water was used for cooking.

The statement tlk'lt fluorides inhibit essential enzyme functior does not take into account the concentration present. I quo• from investigation on metabolism of fluoride by Smith, Gardm and Hodge. ''In relatively high concentration fluorides may ii hi bit a number of cnzyma.tic processes as measured outside t! body. However, there is no eYidence that the ingestions of driru ing water containing 1 ppm fluoride will lead to a concentrati< of fluoride in any- tissue of the body which will adversely afte the enzyme systems of that tissue. The ability of the kidneys excrete fluoride and of the bones to store fluoride without inju1 provides a means whereby the concentration of the fluoride the blood is maintained at an extremely low leveL "

There has been some qllestion apout the mottled teetil fro la1·ge concentrations of fluoride in a water supply. The recon mended 1 ppm does not cause staining and the increased whl tt ness associated with this concentration in the drinking wau actually enhances the beauty of the teeth. The advantage of co1 trolled fluoridation is that the development of decay-resista teeth is promoted without the staining of the teeth.

At this time there are well over 4, 000 communities in tile Unit States tilat h..<tve fluoridated water witil more joining every da Bangor and Brewer just recently. Some of these have natural fluoridated water and others controlled fluoridation. The natu allyfluoridatedcommunitieshavehad it since their founding a some of the eontrollei.l communities for a least 20 years. Wi 83 million people living in these communities, surely there \\OU

again until the following spring when Mrs. Jean Perkins taught the class at the Town Hall. There were numerous reasons for the delay ... lackofinterestby the public, no transportation and limited funds . Following many suppers, food sales, etc., the school was again opened in Nov. 196 5 with Mrs. Rosamond Gol­den as a paid teacher, with five children. Rev. Otto Palmer fur­nished transportation, and many volunteers came in a day at a time to assist Mrs. Golden.

Ata time whenitwas most needed, Dr. William E . Schumacher, Director of Mental Health and Correction in Augusta, spoke to the group, explaining the possibility of the school's eligibility to obtain state funds; and as a result, the school has an allot­ment of $1,000. 00 per year. This in no way pays the entire amount needed to keep the school open three hours a day, five days a week, therefore donations are gratefully accepted. At the present time there are ten chilP.ren and one adult participating in the Golden Rule Scho<;>l, under the able direction of Mrs. Rosamond Golden, assisted by Mrs. Marian Harmon. The area represented in the 'school is Milo, Brownville, Medford, Orne­ville and La Grange.

Officers in the Penqui s Friends of Retarded Children are: President, Ina Banker; Vice Pres., Kathleen Long; Secre­

tary, Shirlene Ladd; Treasurer, Ivan Brown.

FLUORIDATION NOTE Whenever a scientifically

backed health procedure is be­ing considered, like vaccina­tion or pasteurized milk or chlorination of the public water supply, there are always some people who oppose the mea-

sure. If douby or opposition does occur, the clear-thinking sin­cere citizen will turn to "the man who knows." In the case of fluoridating the water supply the citizen will ask his dentist or his physician.
