Economics and Apathy Slow Fluoridation in Iowa Towns
Dr. John E. Goodrich notes economics and apathy as the main barriers to fluoridation adoption in about 428 Iowa communities. The Iowa Health Department offsets costs with grants covering up to half the initial $2,000 installation, plus ongoing yearly expenses of about $160 for fluoride and $25 for labor. Minor opposition exists among chiropractors, organic-food advocates, and Christian Scientists, but broad professional support persists from the Iowa Dental Association and Health Department.

Legislature Report On House Schedule And Transportation Plan
The House adopted a new daily schedule to allow more debate time for final actions on bills and reduced committee time. A plan to create a Department of Transportation failed on a non party vote, replaced by a Transportation Planning Commission aimed for a comprehensive policy by 1975 and sent to the Appropriations Committee for study. The School Aid Formula Bill passed, cutting average milage by 3.4 mills while boosting state aid by 233 million dollars, with amendments loosening local spending rules. Two student groups visited, Pekin Elementary Ollie and Tri County Community School seniors from Thornburg.
