TIGHTEN REGULATIONS

{ Requirements for sanitary opera
ton of eating places at fairs, parks
and similar temporary locations have
been frightened by the state board Of
health in adopting a set of rules which
have been officially published and
have the force of law.
Hereafter temporary eating places
must have a suitable roof or cover
as shield against flies and dust.
Another new rule requires all stoves
and griddles not properly enclosed to
be equipped with a glass or metal
shield covering front, ends, and a
portion Of the top. This protection was
enforced at the State Fair last year
with excellent results, according to
state inspectors.
The rules also require refrigeration
of foodstuffs, protection Of foods on
display from flies and dust, removal
of canned goods from containers upon
opening, thorough washing of dishes
and utensils, prohibition of the use
of cracked dishes or glassware; and
facilities for washing and drying

TEN MILLIoNTH FORD

Watch for the Ten Millionth Ford
has become a slogan along the Lin
coin Highway.
The sturdy little car, crossing the
continent from New York to San Fran.
cisco is performing in true Ford style
maintaining schedule which will find
it crossing Illinois and Iowa on the
third weeks lap of it's cross-ceuntry
run
1t has become something of a sensa-
ton along the great national roadway
and is being welcomed with enthus-
iastic demonstrations everywhere
Accounts of the tour so far, during
which the car travelled from New York
down through New Jersey, and wests
ward across the mountains in Pennsy
lvania and out over Ohio and Indiana
show that city, country and State Off
Gals are joining with residents of
their communities in welcoming the
ten milIionth addition to the great
Ford family. Particularly demonstra-
tive were the receptions in PhiIadel-
phia and Pittsburgh. At the latter
city the parade drew up at the City
Hall where Mayor MCGEE and other
city officials extended hearty well
come.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1924-07-17

Furthermore, the tour has become
a continual procession, for Ford deal
ers adong the way are joining in es-
corting the car from town to town and
parades are varied and unique in
makeup.
A feature is the appearance OF Old
Ford cars. In one Pennsylvania town
Ford Model "T" No. 1894 an old
'sTourabout'' joined in the parade and
another town turned out Model "T''
No. 1854, both demonstrating Ford
efficiency and endurance by running
right along with their ten millionth
brother
Night stops are featured with mo-
ton pictures showing the assembly on
June 4th, of the Ten Millionth Ford
car in the great Highland Park Plant
of the Ford Motor Company at De-
troit. Motion pictures are also being
taken along the route so that COM
plete movie history of the tour will
have been made by the time the car
reaches the West Coast.
