Springfield Service Organizations Hear the Fluoridation Story

The Save Our Water Committee in August and September had three opportunities to speak to area service organizations regarding the possibility of losing the right to vote on the fluoridation question.

Approximately 60 members of the Pine Point branch of the Golden Age Club were given a PowerPoint presentation outlining the Save Our Water Committee of Springfield's objections of adding toxic fluoride waste products to the city's water supply. Dr. Dean, President of the Massachusetts Committee for Pure Water pointed out that voluntary fluoride programs would accomplish the same goals for those citizens wishing their children to have fluoride treatment. Many members of that association expressed concern that their rights to chose would be violated if Massachusetts abolishes the current law allowing cities and towns in the Bay State to vote on the question of adding fluorides to the water supply.

The Springfield Rotary Club and the Springfield Lion's Club also were given the opportunity to hear the fluoridation issue.

Springfield Area Radio Personalities Oppose Water Fluoridation

John Walters at Radio Station WMAS AM invited Dr. Stephen Dean to his morning "Food Dude" radio show. Mr. Walters, an avid chef and food connoisseur, broadcast from the Good Table Restaurant in Westfield, Massachusetts. It was Mr. Walters' opinion that fluoride should remain in toothpaste and not be added to the water supply. He further stated that he realized that cooking with fluoride concentrates this toxic chemical many times.

Area talk show host, Charlie Spencer broadcasting on Saturday mornings stated that he was a strong supporter of children's health, but opposed fluoride compounds that are scraped from industrial smoke stacks being injected into the Springfield water supply. Mr. Spencer, who is a strong environmentalist, supported "freedom of choice" when it comes to an individual's personal health.
