HOWARD COLLEGE TO LEAD WORSHIP HOUR AT
 FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH

Howard college will have charge and the senior B. Y: P: U: meeting at the First Baptist church of Blr- minghata on Sunday afternoon, in the first attempt of the kind to bring the church and the leading Baptist college of Alabama in closer connee- ton.
 Howard college was removed to Birmingham in 1888, and since then the relations between the two Bap- tist institutions have been most cor dial. officials of the college well comed the opportunity to take charge of the services Sunday eve ning.
 It is expected that the entire faculty and student. body of Howard will attend the services, the regular meeting of the Howard B. '. P. U. being shifted from the campus to the church.
 pr. John c. Dawson, president of Howard, and P. P. Burns alumnus are on the program, which includes vocal selections by the combined varsity and eoed glee club centered around Gounods "Sanctus."

DEMAND IS GROWING FOR CERTIFIED MILK; MORE DIARIES ADDED

More than 1S,O00 gallons of the 5S.000 gallons of certified milk pro- duced by the certified dairies of Bir- mingham during 1922 found no mar ket as certified milk and was stld to customers as Grade "A" raw milk, and to pasteurizing plants of the city according to report of l.. o. Bull mer, chief of the food and dairy in spection, to the Jefferson county medical milk commission.
 The reason for the sale of the milk under such conditions was due in a large measure, the report stated to the lack of public appreciation of the many desirable qualities of certified milk, especially for infants and in- valids by both public and the medi- cal profession.
 At the beginning of 1929, only one dairy in the Birmingham district was supplying this grade of milk. Two others were added during the year. Many high grade dairies of the dis trict are being converted into certi- fled dairies. owing tc the growing demand. Certified milk is the only milk in raw state having a Legitimate place in the city's milk supply, it is said. Distribution of certified raw milk and of pasteurized milk is nec- essary for the development of the dairy industry. This will protect against the bug-bear of milk borne epidemics and the financial loss of individual distribution of milk.
 Certified milk is now beng pro- duced by three dairies under direct supervision of the Jefferson county medical milk commission and must conform to high standards in regard to cleanliness and low bacterial count The average of $50 samples of milk taken by the city health de- partment for testing purposes showed that the average butter fat content was 4.5 and the average bac- terial count throughout the entire year was only 5000. Regular physi- cal examinations and tuberlin tests are performed on cattle at the certified dairies and health certifi- cates are obtained at three months intervals of all persons handling or coming into contact with the milk.
 The total certified milk production for the city during 1922 was 5s,750 gallons and the consumption has been about 1 per cent of the total milk consumed by the city.
