per cent less decay than the people of stouffville are presently suffering 2 is fluoridation costly the yearly cost to each person in stouffville would be about 23 cents per person whereas at present the average family in stouffville is spending over 2500 a year in dental care stouffville taxes will not go up one cent because of fluoridation and fluoridation can be installed at the present time without increasing the water rates 3 can fluoridation cause illness in older people no absolutely not the federal department of national health and welfare and many other rec ognized medical bodies have been conducting long and careful surveys for many years and their findings show that fluoridation can not harm anyone of any age do you think the canadian govern ment or your own doctor would recommend fluor idation if it could possibly harm anyone 4 will fluoridation make a difference to the taste smell or appearance of stouffville water fluoridation makes no difference whatsoever to the taste smell or appearance of water stouffville water does not have enough of this natural element at present and for reasons of better health fluoride should be replaced in the water 5 how many people
