Limit Term One measure is entitled the Freedom to Buy and Sell Act and is based on an unsuccessful 1971 legislative bill introduced by then Rep. H. Verlan -Anderson; the other measure, the Professional Politicians' Act.

would limit all elected officials td two terms in office except for county sheriffs. Mr. Anderson said the Freedom. act would permit any person to buy and sell any goods from any persons, just so long as the seller didnt misrepresent himself or his services, and so long as the soods werent otherwise illegal. Free to Practice Thus, he said, a person could be free to practice law, pharmacy, medicine, or any skilled profession, without fear of legal action, so long as he didn't misrepresent his qualifications to his customer.

The measures could qualify for a ballot spot if they achieved signatures equal to 10 percent of all votes cast for governor; but if they did, it would be the 1978 election before the voters could decide. However, a five percent signature total would force the measures, intact, on the legislative calendar next January. A number of Ctan communities including Salt Lake City, have defeated in the past measures to add fluoride to drinking water. An order by the State Board of Health mandating fluoride in public water supplies has generated both spirited support and opposition. Board Commended A resolution has been passed by the Utah Public Health Assn, commending the health board for its courageous stand on fluoridation.

The association pledged its full support in the boards effort to benefit the health of the people of Utah by fluoridating water supplies. Fluoride proponents claim the effects will reduce tooth decay and provide substantial savings in family dental bills. Robert Northness, Brigham City, said eight years of fluoridation in that community cut cavities by 63 percent, and the tooth decay reduction in Helper, Carbon County, also was more than 60 percent Lack of Freedom Opponents generally base their point of view on the lack of freedom from addition of a substance an individual may not want. Also cited by some opponents has been the opinion that addition of fluoride to culinary water may lead to the addition of other chemicals, and that an accidentally heavy dosage may achieve poisoning. H.

Austin Belnap, a spokesman for the People of Utah Recalling Enforced Fluoridation (PURE), said that response by volunteer petition collectors has been fantastic. Salt Lake City officials earlier reported that it would cost the city more than $1 million to install needed equipment and fluoridate its water supply for the first year. Costs for each year thereafter would total approximately $130,00 0. it was noted. By Dave Jonsson Tribune St ail Writer Two initiative petitions giving voters a chance to decide if they want to ban fluoride in public drinking waters and to freeze state government spending appeared to have won baSlot spots Friday, according to sponsors.

Each petition appeared to have secured the legal minimum of 47,645 signatures but the Lieutenant Governors Office said Friday afternoon final certification of the petitions will have to wait until the staff can sort through the well-worn petition copies and conduct its own count of signatures.
