Two inspectors have been set to work getting data on fruit, vegetable. meat and bread shops that are disregardins the requirements of the new food or Nirance.
 Places that are exhibiting uncovered raw and prepared foods in any mann er that will permit contamination with dust, the exhalations of people. or oth- CT injurious contact are to be prose cuted

 The long. rattlng climb of the cars up the incline. the momentary slow slide along the first level, the increas- ing momentum and first breath catch ing dip, the mad rush around the curve and the gone-to-g1ory sensation when the cars drop their first big valley and come shooting up the other side, only to career madly around another curve and dip and rise again before the final shoot back to the starting point, will be put pleasant memory at the city s playground this summer.
 They are tearing down the roller coaster.
 Even the city fathers were a bit dis nal when they gave the order. but it couldn't be helped. Engineers made a careful survey of the apparatus and decided that 1t was no longer safe;
