Health News Notes Cigaret Ads Protested: A ban on all cigaret advertising on television before 9 p.m. was called for in a resolution adopted at the 71st annual convention of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. Home Health Service: Referral of medicare patients to home health agencies under plans of treatment estab- lished by physicians is increasing. There are nov\/ 1,780 such agencies certified for medicare participation, compared to 250 in 1963. Driving, Drinking: Chronic alcoholics are responsible for one-third of the nation's traffic death toll according to evidence produced by years of research, a highway accident symposium at the University of Michigan was told. Researchers said that including accidents caused by social-drinking motor- ists, more than half the nation's traffic deaths can be blamed on alcohol. Fluoridation Law: Minnesota became the second state in the nation to adopt a mandatory fluoridation law when Governor Harold LeVander signed a bill calling for the fluoridation of all municipal water supplies by January 1, 1970. Connecticut passed a similar law in 1 965. "The only Freedom we never lose— the Freedom to choose our attitude." Victor Frankel (Quoted by W. Hal Trentman) Fewer children would be scalded by hot coffee if more electric coffeepots were designed with a more stable base and a shorter cord, according to Dr. Richard E. Marland, Chief of the U. S. Public Health Service's Injury Control Program in the National Center for Urban and Industrial Health. The Suicide Prevention Program for Halifax County became effective at midnight July 1. Any one in Halifax Coun- ty needing help in this regard can call Roanoke Rapids JE 7-2909, day or night, for assistance. This Project is a phase of the Halifax County Mental Health Program. An appeal to law enforcement officers and agencies to report whether seat belts were being used at the time of accidents involving moving vehicles is being made by the U. S. Public Health Service.
