~--N~
Of the Indiana Association OF Master
Bakers. has issued . communication
to all members Of the organization
urging them to handle bread In sani-
tary manner in order to influence the
state board OF health to revoke its or
der, which becomes effective January
I. compelling tho wrapping Of bread.
The communication referred to Is,
In part. as follows:
"No doubt you are familiar with the
pure food and sanitary laws of In
diana and without doubt you are in
favor OF any reasonable sanitary laws
that the State Board of Health may
order and enforce.
THE recent order given out by the
state board regarding the compulsory
wrapping Of all bread and bakery pro-
ducts, and which order the state food
commissioner. DR.. Barnard, made a
strong effort to have enforced, the
bakers Of Indiana almost unanimously
decided was unreasonable and not a
just law.
Consult the Board.
1.-THE Indiana Association Of Master
Bakers. through its officers. at oncs
went to work and appointed q COM
mittee to take up this matter with the
board. and the board kindly consented
to give this committee q hearing on
May gath. The association, through
its attorney, presented to this board
all facts and figures and made It plain
to them that this ruling was unreason-
able-that there was no necessity for
It and that the general consumers ct
bread did not demand 1t. The result
was that one week later the board
handed down . decision which chang
ed the time for this order to 60 into
effect from July l.. 1910 to January I,
1911.
"Now Il may seem to q good many
master bakers that the case is won
and that this order 10 dead. We wish
to warn them right here that ne
should not feel that way about It, but
on the contrary feel that this order
Is still staring him In the face and
that Il will be enforced on January, I,
1911.
I'VE would urge every master baker
to see to It that all laws pertaining %
sanitation. bakeshop inspection. etc.,
be strictly lived up to. Sec to It that
you have clean bakeshops, make clean
bread by clean workmen, see to It
that this bread 10 delivered and handl-
cd by clean drivers and clean wagons.
see that II II carried In . clean. SAM.
tary and, II necessary, covered has.
ket and put In clean case In the
groceries. We feel that II these rulcs
will be lived up to. we will never be
forced to wrap our bread. AZ the
board has expressed itself that II does
not wish 70 do anything that 10 detri.
mental to the baking business or add
unnecessary expense to tho large
bread consuming public who naturally
would have to pay the enormous ex-
ira expense. Therefore we feel that
II ID up to the baker. II he does not
wish to have stricter laws enforced, to
live up to the ones that are now IN
force.
"The Association Of Master Bakers
is undoubtedly entitled to q great
deal of. credit In accomplishing what
Il has mp to the present. This com-
mittee win continue its work until at.
ter the board meets again about the
4th OF October when we look for a
final decision to be made.
1T no doubt proves the necessity OF
having an organisation Of this kind
and that every master baker in the
state should belong"
