"The forms had been signed," he said, “but they were just changed right in front of one of my assistants." And it appears at least one election worker feels that is a inssibility.

Fluoride battle - continues City clerk Ron Keel, ing said yesterday that some poll clerks had mistakenly listed the number of No and Yes votes in the wrong col umns on ulfieial forms they had delivered to city hall. The Yes votes were to be listed under the heading "votes for the bylaw or question" and the No votes under "votes against the bylaw or question." But some of the poll clerks had the figures the reverse of what they should have been, Keeling said, If voters were con. fused by the question they faced, it appears "some of the election omeials were equally confused by the official form they had to fill out and sign. “It must have thrown some," Keelinp, said. Nonetheless, the city clerk said “I am mu per cent positive that we have a proper vote" and the correct tally, The mayor said that unless there were some "major new informa- tion" to be presented on the issue, a further vote "would just be a repetition of the same thing and what does that achieve?"

But if there is no difference in the out» come, Culley said. "I'm pretty confident there will be another vote at the next (mu- nicipal) election." “I just can't accept that as being reason» able," she said in an interview yesterday. “I certainly had hoped the issue would be laid to rest. I think there's a limit to what our citi- zens can put up with." And Helen Vice, om- of the chief organizers of the pro-fluoride No Means Yes committee. said "I don't even want to think oFanother peti- tion at this time." Vice said "we can thank the opponents for prompting us to re- evaluate the ftuorida- tion issue (and) we have confirmed the va- lidity and safety for the people of Waterloo." Vice said she doesn't see the need for an- other vote, but added "if the people want it, go he it." I 'Logic machine' was U.S. scientist’sidea The UW centre is headed by Dr. Don D.
