made into a thin paste with either sweet or sour cream.


This dressing is not added until time of consuming, otherwise
the salad would become soggy.
The thermos bottle is for the purpose of either a hot soup of
choice, or milk. Usually this is changed from day to day for
variety. Such a lunch guarantees all of the necessary elements:
protein, vitamins and minerals, for health, vitality and strength,
and at a cost less than lunch in even the cheapest restaurant.
When a change, or a greater amount of protein is desired,
then there may be added: egg custard made with eggs and milk,
natural sugar and desired flavoring; or, rice pudding made with
brown rice, milk, natural sugar and flavoring; or, a gelatin
made with Knox gelatin, and flavoring. All flavors must be
rnJtural, not synthetic.

"As Chief Justice Patrick Kerwin, who dissented,


noted in his judgment, the majority decision raises the
question whether the other municipalities in Ontario which
are already fluoridating their water actually have the
power to do so.
"The court's ruling was a 5-to-2 decision to dismiss
the appeal of Metropolitan Toronto against an Ontario
Appeal Court decision. The Ontario Court had reversed an
earlier decision by Mr. Justice F. G. MacKay, who had
ruled, in a case brought by Forest Hill against Metro, that
the senior municipality was entitled to add fluorine com-
pounds to its water supply.
