Health Council Favors
Flouridation of Water
As Ultimate City Goal
Climaxing several discussions
3n research in flouridation of
vater supplies, the Matanuska
Galley Health Council went on
-ecord as favoring such treatment
)f local water at the monthly
neeting held last Thursday night.
The Health Council views this
recommendation as an ultimate
?oal in fostering a program that
las been found to reduce the in
cidence of dental decay, accord
ng to long-time experience of
several communities in the States.
Flouridation of the water supply
vould have little effect on the
*reat majority of residents today.
Dental hygienists point out that
leneficial effects of flouridation
ire acumulated during the periods
if tooth formation, usually dur
ng the first eight years of a
child’s life.
The Health Council also went
m record as favoring the organi
zation of a Matanuska Valley
Health District as authorized by
rerritorial law enacted in 1949.
Creation of the first health dis
trict under this law was recently
completed in the Anchorage area.
The Health Council will have
no monthly meeting in August.
With the happy change in weath
er this past week-end, it was
hoped that a more satisfactory
picnic might be held.
Final announcements regarding
the picnic will be made at the
ten o’clock Mass Sunday morning.
The morning bus from Anchor
age Wednesday brought a num
ber of Tourists who had arrived
on the first passenger boat to
ceach Alaska since the strike. It
was the first large group of tour
ists seen in the Valley this season.
