Dairy Regulations Explained BY
Montgomery County Health Dept.
Public Expected To Judge Grade Of Mik-RecOrds Are
Accessible To General Public And Inquiries
Are Welcomed

DR.. V. L. Ellicott, county health Of
ficer, has issued statement intended
to clear up such doubts as may ex-
ist in the mind of the public relative
to the grading of milk and the regu-
lations affecting dairyman. TIL
statement follows:
"The Montgomery County Milk
Regulations are based on the grading
system, the public being expected to
Judge the quality of milk by the
grade under which it is sold. When
grading does not exist, the public
has to Judge by records of bacterial
counts, temperatures and scores and
most of the public are unable to do
this fairly. With grades, however,
the public soon realizes that the
Grade A represents the official stamp
of the Health Departments approval
On approximately January ID and
July Is of each year, the Health o1-
ficer announces the grades OF all
milk and milk products sold in the
county. These grades are either
published as lists in the county pap
ers or published as general an
nouncement with a statement that
grade lists will be sent on request
To those making general inquiries
the Health Department states the
grade of milk sold by the dairy IN
ouired about and whether it is raw or
pasteurized. If the milk is Grade A
nasteurized the Health Department
further states that this is the grade
and kind recommended as sate 1Or

Motor Vehicles
To Be Inspected
During October
Commissioner Rudy Announces
Annual Campaign Starting
Next Thursday

The ninth annual save-a-life in
spection campaign of the State OF
Maryland will be conducted from
October 1 to October 81, Motor
Vehicle Commissioner Walter R.
Rudy announced today.
The inspection work, which is a
prerequisite to the registration of
motor vehicles for 1887, will be car
ried on in 1,500 test stations to be
designated in various sections of the
State.
Motorists will be unable to obtain
their new license plates unless their
machines bear the official sticker
certifying the inspection has been
made, Commissioner Rudy asserted
Automobile distributor service sta
lions, general repair garages and
other automobile shops will be as
signed TO make the inspections and
machines may be examined without
charge. Every automobile and truck
in Maryland must be inspected at the
stations.
Rudy said the salient points OF
the inspection will be brakes, lights,
horns, steering mechanism, wind
shield wipers, mirrors, license tags,
windshields and bumper guards.
The inspection of the bumper
guards will be made to see that
they do not obstruct the license
plates, the law prohibiting any OBJ
struction of tags.
Las year 1885, automobiles were
examined. 1t was found that $4,000
had unsafe brakes, 1000 headlights
were adjusted or replaced and
10000 had unsafe steering me-
:hanism.

Some time ago the question arose
as to whether the public should have
access to the Health Department
records IL order to obtain more de-
tailed information than the grade
lists. The County Board of Health de-
cided that such records should be
open to the public just as they are in
the Washington Health Department.
Those calling at the Health Office
are, therefore, given the privilege OF
inspecting the milk register and the
individual record folders of each
dairy; in other words, all records per-
tanning to milk inspection. In doing
this it is understood that if any one
should make public information OBJ
tanned from the records, he would be
responsible for any possible adverse
effect on the dairyman's reputation.
It is true that dealers may differ
considerably in standards yet still be
within the limits of one grade. There
are apt to be dairies in Grade A who
are barely within this grade, some Of
whom may had warning Of degrading.
There are also dairies maintaining
standards far above the limits of
Grade A. From inquiries which we
have received we judge many people
are anxious to discriminate between
these standards and many of them
are able to interpret detail office
records. We feel that such persons
should have right to judge for
themselves. We, therefore, welcome
inquiries from them"

THE SUNPAPERS' POLL indicate
that Roosevelt will have stiff fight
in Montgomery County. A poll con-
Quoted by The Sentinel and in which
5e5 votes were received, mostly from
Rockville and the rural sections of
the county, gave Roosevelt lead of
81 votes over Landon. The President
received 321 tallies; Landon, 264;
Lenke, whose name will not likely
appear on the ballot here, 2; Thorn
as 6 and Browder and Colvin each
one. In the town of Rockville the
sentiment was unmistakable Roose-
yeltian. Garrett Park and Sa ndy
Spring were two communities giving
Landon a majority. A few scattered
votes from Bethesda and Chevy Chase
were mostly for Landon.

THE PITIFUL ATTEMPTS of
Hearst to align Roosevelt with Com
munistic activity in this country will
certainly not help ALI Landon's cause.
We believe that Mr.. Landon, himself,
deplores such cheap political methods.
1t is a shame that men like Hearst
inject themselves into campaigns
purely to pose as belabored heroes.
The extremes of their denunciations
contribute nothing to the cause of
Democracy and endanger the faith of
our people in facing problems which
are natural ones and which confront
us periodically as progress leads US
farther and farther from obsolete So
cial and economic tenets.

THESE BIG BANKERS who cried
for help in 199S-and got it-also
constitute abject figures. They like
to play when the score is 9 to 0 in
their favor, but they hate to buck up
against it when the other side rallies
and the umpires refused to be swayed
in their decisions. They sure got a
kick-back when they ran into the in
surance tycoons.
If something could be done about
bank deposits in 1888, why could not
something have been accomplished
earlier? The Republican party has
prided itself upon being SO strong
with and for the farmers ever since
farm problems were recognized. Why
did not past Republican administra-
lions do something to ease the farm
burden?

that considering the problems they
