If enacted, some workers may quit jobs or move to welfare as Mrs. Butkus notes her two sons would require $50 weekly per child under the new rules.

Benefits of fluoridation shown by state's dentist
Vermont dental director Dr John Long says fluoridation cuts decay in preschoolers. A study across Barre Burlington Rutland Hardwick and Taxilow shows 21 per cent decay in fluoridated groups versus almost 70 per cent in nonfluoridated populations. Fluoridation markedly reduces extractions and untreated decay while overall dental care access remains limited. Governor Salmon cites personal dental improvements but opposes a $832000 plan, suggesting a $73000 alternative.

The Public Service Board approved Hyde Park Electric Co to raise rates by 16 percent to cover higher wholesale power costs from Central Vermont Public Service Corp.
