" was no secret that all members of Council. with the exception of one alderman, supported the continuation of the City's fluoridation program which was first introduced back in 1967. The pro-fhMwidatiort delegates presented a clear and concise case based on Canadian and interne~ tional facts and statistics. If there was a question posed to them, they had the answer right at their fingertips. Their presentation. though loaded with statistics that would sometimes manage to escape the un- derstanding of the general public under any other circumstance. were presented in such terms that those who really count in the issue - the citizens of Waterloo - could grasp just what was being said. . City council dated drinking have. Whenever there was some doubt or disagree- ment regarding fluoridation they had the informa- tion to back their stand. They never lost their cool, although there were times that would have tested the most stout hearted of men. The anti-fluoridation delegates were another The present ungodly, unjust, violent system of things must be removed. There is no other way. W.D. Pope. Waterloo The anti-fluoridation delegates were another thing altogether. Their presentation was loaded with emotion. half-baked statistics and sensationalism. They tended to wander from the topic arhand and some- how managed to drift into a discussion of every- thing from radial tires to chlorine. Just about every statistic presented by the Wa- terloo Safe Water Society turned out to be an exag- geration of a study that either proved to be the op- posite of what they were talking about or an ia- conclusive report that failed to draw a conclusion one way or the other. Waterloo Council provided the chance - more than two hours in fact - for the pro and anti- fluoridation sides to present their views'. Whenever there was some ment regarding fluoridation th Ezra Taft Benson. former US. secretary of agriculture and a minister of the Latter-Day Saints tMormon Church). recently spoke to the International Freedoms Conference in Philadelphia. Pa. He lectured about what he considers to be the failure of 'Western civilization' to stem the tide of Com- munist ideology throughout the world. The Mormon leader climaxed his speech with the "ser- tion 'Here is the West we hold in our hands the only hope of mankind." Apparently Benson is not fully familiar with the unrest within his own country. We have been led to believe for a period of years that the United Nations was mankind's only hope. Since the whole world. with its governments of both East and West is 'Lying in the power of the wicked one', mankind‘s only hope is the kingdom of God to come upon the earth. The Benson class would do well to read what the book of Daniel has to say about this system of things. also the statements made by Christ in Matthew M. p.e3.yrerhtAer2rer,.erttte. a dhtUqt d nun-cam Inc-In“ - 3 railway Id. s.. w. tht an Maturation; nma.m.vlauru.on.wm w.t.etoeeomea1h--ra-afft.f"i"eteq1erP, wanton“...

Benson should know the ‘soul' is what man became when his body was activated by the breath of life. Read Gen. 2:7. Then he goes on to say " fully believe that we can turn things around if enough men and women in the Free World will have the determination and faith to do so.' Patchwork of this kind is unworkable.
