 Paris, June 16-(UP)-The visit ing American mayors left today for Le Havre where the expedition sails this afternoon on the He de France for home. As delegation, the mayors are confirmed anti-prohibit- ionists, with one or two exceptions. as a result of their tour of month through the vineyards, the wine cellars and along the champagne front" of France.
 CT go home with a greater con- viction than ever that prohibition in America is an error, foisted upon the people as a war measure and is most responsible for the present crime wave which is the worst in all the history of the United States" Mayor James J. Key, of At- lanta, said. His opinion was ac- claimed by many other mayors as an expression of their thoughts. Most of the mayors were in even ing clothes as they went to the early morning boat train. Theye were tired but happy after a month tour ing France as guests of the govern ment. and spent last night at an all-night party at the Lido, Paris Night club.
 Ruth Key, daughter of jovial mayor of Atlanta, Ca, sprained her ankle on the way to the train.
 W. F. Patterson, Hartford, Conn, was among the mayors. The He de France Is due in New York Sat- urday.

Safeguarding The
 States Summer Camps
Health Authorities Stress Importance of Complying With
 Sanitary Code Regulations

Hartford, Conn.-The follow ing address regarding summer camp sanitation was delivered recently
 by Warren J. Scott, s. B., director. Bureau of Sanitary Engineering, Connecticut State Department of
 Health, over the radio from station
 WTIC in Hartford:
 The camping season is about to
 begin. Mothers and fathers are
 planning on sending Jimmie or Mary
 to a camp for the summed; Y: M. |C. A., '. w. c. A., scout and other organizations are making arrange ments for their camp openings; char ity camps will operate to make hap py and healthful summers for thousands of children; and com mercial camps will cater to the re- creation demands of children and adults. Connecticut with it's many attractive streams and lakes and hills as we'll as its beautiful shore front on Long Island Sound will vide recreational facilities for large numbers of outside residents in ad- dition to her own extensive popula- ton.
 The health authorities, state and local, realize their responsibility in
 safeguarding the health of Connec- ticut's campers. The state sanitary code regulations pertaining to sum- mer camp sanitation prescribe cer- tain minimum sanitary requirements for Connecticut's camps. Compliance
 with these regulations is checked up
 by visits to the camps during the camp season by two inspectors of

 for a camp is a safe and adequate water supply. Only last week a
 case came to our attention where 1t was proposed to start a new com
 mercial camp without any readily available water supply on the prem ises; yet prospectuses of the camp
 had already been printed showing a substantial fee to be charged to un- suspecting camp patrons. Each camp water supply must pass careful in-
 spection and analysis. If bathing
 pond water is used for flushing and
 washing, 1t must be chlorinated and posted against drinking. The bath ing place, too. must be free from
 dangerous pollution.
 Waste disposal TOT camps must
 pass careful scrutiny. Some camps are of very modern type with flush toilet accommo odations but the waste material must be treated by sedi-
 mentation in proper settling tanks and seepage into the soil so as to
 avoid contaminating any water sup ply or creating any nuisance. Other camps have more primitive accom-
 modations These may be entirely
 satisfactory provided they are ac. corded careful maintenance and are so constructed as to safeguard near. by water supplies and to prevent travel of infection from waste ma terial to food. Garbage disposa without opportunities for fly-breed. ing or other nuisance must be pro
 vided.
 Food handling facilities are thor

corded all pertinent information about the camp and It's sanitary surroundings an equipment. Copies of the report and any recommenda- tions for Improvement. are forc warded to the camp proprietor and the local health officer. Orders for changes are issued where necessary, althoug 1t is usually found that camp officials are only too willing to carry out reasonable requirements.
 The principal stumbling block, particularly in welfare organiza- ton and charity camps, is, of course. lack of funds. However, sanitary standards must be provided because it is better that children and adults be left in city homes wits safe san- itary facilities than to give them the recreational joys of the country and the shore with drawback of ex- posture to sanitary hazards.

 Arrangements of sleeping quart CTS is checked up to see that beds are spaced far enough apart so as to prevent spread of droplet infec- ton from one person to another. General sanitary surroundings of the camp are noted during inspection. and information is secured as to is- olation quarters in case of sickness and facilities for necessary medical or nursing attention.
 When a camp is inspected by a representative of the State Depart ment of Health, complete informa- tional form is filled cut by the ir- spector and on this form are re-
