Since Osh- awa has to compete with other cities for such teachers, then the salaries and conditions here must be on a par with the best. We are surprised that it has taken the local board of education so long to decide to engage married women as teachers in the secondary schools, on a permanent staff basis. It has been done in other cities, to good advantage, and this change in policy may be the means of filling the gaps which exist in the teaching staff. We can see no. reason why a well-qualified married woman should not be as good a teacher as one who is single, or a married man. Afier all, qualifications are what count, not the marital status. The board is to be commended for having taken this step move towards overcoming the as a shortage of teachers.

McINTYRE HOOD The recent ruling of the Ontario County of Appeal, to the effect that municipalities and municipal boards had no legal right to fluori- date their water supply, has up- set the apple cart for many On- tario municipalities. It has also giv- en rise to some misconceptions on the part of the public as to ex- actly what the appeal court's deci- sion did say. It has even caused the question to be raised in some quarters as to whether municipali- ties have the right to put chlorine in their water supplies. It has been suggested in some quarters, Oshawa included, that by taking a vote of the people on the fluoridation of water, the appeal court's decision might be circum- vented. But we cannot see how a vote of the municipal electorate can put into the Ontario statutes something that is not there now. BASED ON STATUTES The decision of the appeal court, in a case involving the decision of the Metropolitian Toronto Coun- cil to fluoridate its water supply, is based entirely on what is now in the provincial legislation. There are laws concerning water supply in the Municipal Act, the Public Health Act and the Public Utili- ties Act. All of these were exam- ined thoroughly by the five judges of the appeal court, and they came up with the unanimous conclusion that there is nothing in any of these acts to permit the addition of fluoride to an already pure and wholesome water supply. The learn- ed judges, in their decision, stated specifically that nothing in these acts permitted the addition of any- thing to the water supply for me- dicinal purposes. They regarded the addition of fluoride, as "being in that category, since its purpose, beyond question, is to promote a better standard of dental health among the people of the commun- ity These acts of the legislature be- ing as they are, we cannot see how the situation would be ¢ hanged in the slightest degree by taking a vote of the mutiicipal electors. The legislation itself would have be changed to permit such a vote of this question, and that cannot be done until there is another meet- ing of the Ontario legislature VALUE OF FLUORIDATION So far as the value of fluoridation of the water supply is concerned, we have no fixed opinions on the subject. We have always been in- terested in the reports on results of this practice, especially those which came from the city of Brant- , ford, where there is long-term experience with it But we do know thai (uere are great differ- ences of opinion on the subject Here in Oshawa, after very thor ough investigations, the local board of health decided it would be bene- ficiai to fluoridate the water. It was done quietly and without any great fanfare. And, so far as we are aware, there have been no serious objections to the practice It was accepted by the people of Oshawa because they had faith in th board of he h and medical health officer. Now that the On- tario Appeal Court has ruled that it is illegal to fluoridate the water supply howe the situation might change, and there might be citizens who would challenge the to er FOR BETTER HEALTH Daring Scheme To Make Heart Operation Easier Bv HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, MD Cardiac surgeons are constantly secking better ways of performing heart operations. For example, a' team of British doctors has come up with the idea of stopping the heart -- deliberate- ly --to permit safer and easier surgery. And American doctors have developed a variety of ingeni- ous procedures which permits op- crations under direct vision inside the heart! However, regular use CICTCLATORY There's a danger of introducing ai. into the circulatory system through the bloodless but still beat- ing heart. And with some other techniques there is a danger of the heart stopping. One of the most frequent causes of cardiac arrest is ventricular fibrillation, a disorganized beat- ing of the heart. While this can occur during a variety of opera- tions, it is most likely to happen in hypothermia, an artificial low- ering of the body temperature to aid in surgery. Dr. D. G. Melrose and colleagues the Pot Graduate Medical School of London and Charing none has come into SYSTEM Cross Hospital Medical hepe to eliminate this halting the heartbeat If their plan feasible, this daring scheme would give the card- Jac surgeon an ideal situation -- a heart that remains bloodless, open and quiet throughout the opera- tion Using potassium citrate to stop the heartbeat, the British surgeons héve performed experiments on dogs. and with isolated heart pre- perations from dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs For best results in réstarting the heart, they used fresh potassium citrate-free hlood. An electric shock was needed to renew the heartbeat in only one instance While the heart was stopped, the brain and other vital centres were protected by blood circulated by a heart-lung machine. Even after the heart had been stopped as long as 55 minutes, the doctors report good recoveries. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. R. A.: Can a man get a tri- chomonas infection? Answer: Yes, very definitely. In fact, it has been reported quite frequently in men. Usually the in- fection is transmitted from the feraale School danger by is on purely legal ng Ontagio ruling stands as the last word in law, they would have a good case. There has been no indigation as yet, however, that any Oshawa citizen wishes to take the initiative in challenging the present practice CHLORINE DIFFERENT The addition of chlorine to the water ¢ is on an entirely dif- ferent leg basis. Municipalities are required to provide their citi- zens with "a pure and wholesome water supply." Chlorine, where it is added to the water, is used solely a purifying agent, to 1 the water germs that be unde: In many mu- lities, chlorine is absolutely I >ssary 'to make the water pure and wholgsome. So its addition, is, therefore, sanctioned by the law PLEBISCITE US One of our aldermen has stated that Oshawa's position in the mat- ter could be clarified by submitt- ing a plebiscite to the electors of the cit The inference is that if the vote were favorable, then flu- oridation would be legalized. But that is not so. The Municipal Act, the Public Health Act, and the Public Utilities Act contains no provision for the taking of a plebis- cite .on this subject. So the result plebiscite in Oshawa could not 'over ride the provisions of these acts as they have been interpreted by the Ontario Court of Appeal There are still two loopholes left. The Ontario legislature could pass issive legislation by way of amer to the acts to give 1 i right to fluoridate lies on a fa- vorable vi Until that would be a useless The other Metropol decided to the Sur country's cc tion.
