The NORTHERN STAR, Lismore (12/11/90) reported what amounts to be stand-over tactics by the NSW Dept of Health, against the Lismore people's stand against artificial fluoridation Part of the NSW Health Dept letter to the Council reads... "It appears that plans to provide School and Hospital Dental Services at the pro- posed Goonellabah Health Centre won’t be funded unless Council reconsiders its decision on fluoridation of water supplies." The same pressure was applied to Coffs Harbour City Council, according to The Advocate, (8/11/90), giving them a choice of "fluoridate", or no extra "funds". They stated that additional dental funding should only be for fluoridated areas! ECCENTRIC ASTEROID DISCOVERED The interesting thing is that the currents pass through all the major oil and gas fields, including prospective areas such as the Officer Basin in WA. According to the scientist who found it, Dr Francois Chamalaun of Flinders Uni- versity, the current is a weak current, unable to light a lamp. Similar flows of underground electrici- ty, generated by changes in the Earth's magnetic field, have been discovered in North America and Canada. Source: Sydney Morning Herald 11/3/91.

Far out: the asteroid’s orbit spans the Solar System from Mars to Uranus and beyond As early as January Ist, 1989, T.M. meditators began receiving a 30 to 50% reduction of their car insurance, without losing any services. A Dutch company, BERG-Diensten, has made this offer to drivers, who must take a 5 year policy and conduct two daily T.M meditations. The company claims statistics have shown that people who do T.M are simply not as big a risk. Characteristics about these medita- tors include - low alcoholism, virtually no anxiety or stress, quicker reaction time, and better perception. The company will also be providing discount on sickness insurance.

One wonders what Telecom will do with the money raised from the pro- posed increase in phone charges - they certainly are not paying their techni- cians who have recently gone on strike for a pay rise to bring them up to the award wage. Maybe it will go into fund- ing more of those ‘top-secret! NEXUS - 11 MAY/JUNE 1991 - YEAR BOOK
