Pages of History: Fluoride hot item in 1960

From the pages of the Del Norte Triplicate, February 1960.

Crescent City voters will decide whether or not they want fluoride added to drinking water in a citywide election in April. The City Council paved the way for a slam-bang day at the polls when it agreed to place fluoridation on the ballot.

The decision is expected to trigger a repeat performance of the bitter controversy that flared in late 1958 when the council first considered fluoridation.
