STATE CAPITOL NEWS
Fluoride in Water
Problem Gets Notice
LINCOLN -Will the question of
whether to add fluoride to mun
icipal water systems ever be sol
ved?
'Hie question is just as contro
versial today in most quarters as
it was when the theory was first
advance8.
But, in some cases, nature has
solved the problem for a com
munity—often with many citizens
unaware of it. The state health
department said that at least 14
cities have as much natural
fluoride in drinking water as re
commended for adding by the art
ificial method.
Three Nebraska cities —Fair
bury, Nebraska City and Super
ior add fluoride to the water
artificially.
These town have the chemical
in the water naturally, the depart
ment said:
Verdel, Winnebago, B e n k e 1
man, Macy, Maskell, Monowi, Ly
man, Alliance, Herman, Stratton,
Trenton, Walthill, Whitney, Craig,
North Platte, Haigler, Hubbard,
Jackson Oakland, Bushnell, Ind
ianola, Wauneta, Arapahoe and
Imperial. However, only the first
14 have more than 1 part of fluor
ide for each million parts—min
imum amount recommended for
artifical addition.
The director of the health de
partment’s division o f dental
health said ‘‘every effort” will be
made to advise communities
where needed, to have the fluor
ide level of th.eir drinking water
adjusted to provide maximum
protection against tooth decay.
Dr. Mark P Muffley, the dir
ector, made the comment at a
state board of health meeting.
Studies show a "tremendous”
amount of difference in tooth de
cay incidence where a commun
ity has fluorde n its water, Muff
ley said.
• • •
Commission Regulation—
Joseph J. Brown, state railway
commissioner, said a public util
ity has fluoride in its water, Muff
mission must see that companies
earn a fair return.
If not, he told an annual con
vention of the Nebraska Tele
phone association, it fails to pro
perly protect those who depend
on regulation to see that they re
ceive efficient and dependable
service.
Such service can't be given,
Brown said, unless a utility is in
a "consistenly sound financial!
condition.”
Meanwhile, regulation of trucks
and procedure relative to rates
was the subject of an opnion from
Atty.-Gen. C. S. Beck.
Beck said a tarriff bureau or
an association of common carriers
can go before the commission
lor a rate change if it is proper
ly represented by an attorney.
And, said the opinion, the as
sociation does not have to list all
its members unless this is requir
ed by commission regulations.
• • •
Mobile X-rays—
A familiar sight—presence of a
state health department mobile
x-ray unit at a high school or col
lege—may be no more, at least
temporarily. »
The state health board was
asked to confine mobile x-ray
units to adults, eliminating high
schools and colleges.
Dr. E. A. Rogers, state health
director, said the state faces a
cut of several thousand dollars
in federal aid for the x-ray pro
gram. Service, therefore, must
be curtailed, he said.
The board took no immediate
action on the request.
Past records show, Rogers said,
that incidence of tuberculosis in
younger age brackets is small
and of little clinical value. He
suggested efforts be concentrated
in adult jx>pulation areas where
disease incidence is high enough
to warrant expense of operation.
• • •
State Assistance—
There are fewer aged getting
aid from the state now than at
the came time in 1957.
That’s the report of the state
lx>ard of public welfare. It re
ported 16,567 cases on the rolls j
