Jeremiah Lewis. Walter White
 and James NJ. Burns were appointed
 today by Dr. George F. Cook. health officer. to serve on a committee of local milk dealers which will work with him to frame milk ordinance for the town of Plainviue. The nam-
 ing of these three prominent dairy men followed an enthusiastic. meet ing of milk dealers and handlers in
 the town hall last night. when plans for regulations in regard to the sale I'of milk were discussed and an or
 ganization of local dealers was plan- ned.
 The meeting. which had been post
 poned from last Friday afternoon.
 was called by Dr. Cook. who presid-
 ed over it. Dr. James Knowlton gave
 q most interesting talk on preven-
 tive medicine and the various diseases which are spread through
 unclean milk. Thomas Holt, com-
 missioner of dairy and food prod
 ucts. spoke on Problems of the | M}fkman." stating that Plainvlle | was one of the best milk producing center in the state. Its rating was
 among the very highest, he said, S5 ] to 90 per cent of the milk sold here being from tuberculin tested COWS.
 He strongly urged the passing of 8
 milk ordinance.
 William Estey, vice-chairman of | the federal board Of child welfare, l talked at length on the advantages 1 of an ordinance. The milkmen asked
 several questions and received an-
 answers from these three experts. all were in favor of regulations. The
 result of the meeting was the deci-
 sion to have Dr. Cook. with the help 1 of a committee of dairymen, draw
 up an ordinance. When endorsed by | the selectmen, it will be submitted to
 the public health council and, if
 ratified. will become law. It Is plan-
 ned to have it become effective on July 1. Dealers are asked to make their applications for licenses as
 soon after the adoption of the ordi-
 nance as is possible.
 The milkmen themselves decided to organize an association for their
 own protection and to discuss prob-
 lems andNwork out constructive pro-
 grams. They will hold q meeting
 soon for this purpose.
