LEBANON-SIZED TVA:
Peter Describes U.S. Aid in Program

By MARGE PIERCY
"A Lebanon-sized TVA" is the
way Hollis Peter describes the
main project of Point Four pro-
gram he headed in that country.
Peter, ;now assistant director of
the Foundation for Research on
Human Behavior, served as head
of the technical assistance pro-
gram to Lebanon from the winter
of 1951 to the winter of 1953. Prior
to that, he directed the field mis-
sion which set up the project in
cooperation with the national gov-
ernment there.
Development of the Litani River,
largest in Lebanon, was Peter's
bigest problem. While Lebanon has
the highest standard of living in
the Near East, Peter said, it is still
low by our standards.
Irrigation, power, water supply,
sewage and drainage had to be
considered in the project, which
aimed at finding a workable plan
for the five-dam system, to be fi-
nanced and built by the Lebanese
themselves.
Herd of Cattle
American engineers in the pro-
gram numbered between 40 and
50, while several hundred Lebanese
worked with them. Other facets of
the Point Four assistance included
bringing in a herd of pedigreed
livestock from Holland to improve
local cattle, setting up a national
health laboratory and a Lebanese-
American grade school.
Because of innovations in the
curriculum, the school met oppo-
sition from religious factions. "Le-
banon is theoretically a Christian

country," Peter explained, "but
there are almost as many Moslems
as Marinites (the name of the na-
tional church). Government jobs
are allocated on the basis of reli-
gion. For example, the President is
traditionally a Marinite and the
Prime Minister, a Mohamedan."
Peter named the attitude of the
Lebanese toward their government
as one of his major problems.
"They've been accustomed to poor
government until quite recently
and lack confidence."
Trained Personnel Needed
Discussing the aims of the pro-
gram, Peter stressed increasing the
number of trained personnel in
the country and developing con-
fidence in their own potentialities.
The Lebanese are very interested
in American help and treat Amer-
icans very well. "Their friendli-
ness and respect are diminishing
however," Peter pointed out, "be-
cause of what they feel to be our
favoritism toward Israel."

Tie-in Seen
WithSugar,
Tooth Decay
By TAMMY MORRISON
Removal of sugar from the diet
would end the problem of teeth
decay, Prof. Robert G. Kesel told
the American Dental Association
recently.
Prof. Kesel, head of the Depart-
ment of Materia Medica and Ther-
apeutics at the University of Il-
linois College of Dentistry, said
many studies of diet have con-
firmed the relation between sugar
consumption and decay activity,
Prof. Philip Jay of the Univers-
ity dental school said that sugar
would have no effect if it weren't
for the action of acid-producing
bacteria upon it. The bacteria
work on the sugar, manufactur-
ing acid which eats into teeth.
Opinions Differ
Opinion is divided over the de-
cay-reducing properties of fluor-
ine. Prof. A. P. Black, chairman of
the University of Florida, chem-
istry department, predicted that
within 10 years fluoridation of wa-
ter will be as routine as chlorina-
tion.
He said flourides are added to
water in 1,020 cities with a com-
bined population of more than 21,-
500,000. Fluoridation studies con-
ducted in Brantford, Oit., show-
ed 59 per cent reduction in tooth
decay; Grand Rapids, 70 per cent;
Newburg, N.Y., 69 per cent and
Evanston, Ill., 73 per cent.
Some groups in favor of fluori-
dation are the American Dental
Association, American Medical As-
sociation, United States Public
Health Service, American Acad-
emy of Pediatrics and the Ameri-
can Public Health Association.
Some individual citizens, includ-
ing a few physicians, are opposed
to fluoridating water.
Pro and Con Given
In two recent addresses to the
Eastern Dental Club and the
Grosse Point Physicians Club, Drs.
George L. Waldbott, J. Roy Doty
and Chester Tossy gave arguments
for and against fluoridation.
Dr. Waldbott stated that com-
munity health is endangered when
there is one part fluorine per mil-
lion parts water. According to Dr.
Doty, it would be impossible for
fluorine at that concentration to
have a toxic effect. He went on
to say that in communities where
drinking water naturally has more
than five parts per million, no
harmful effects have been traced.
"Some Should Not Hinder Many"
Another argument against fluor-
idation is that people with kidney
disease should drink nonfluorinat-
ed water. In reply to this, Dr. Doty
stated that if a doctor feels that
his patient should not have fluor-
inated water, he should put him
on flourine free water. He went on
to say that millions of people
should not be denied fluorinated
water because of a few people.
Fluorine is said to cause mot-
tling. Dr. Tossy agreed that this is
so, but also said that a distinction
should be made between the mild
mottling which might occur when
there is one part per million of
fluorine and the noticeable mot-
tling which occurs when the con-
centration of fluorine is much
higher.
