Tourist Camps Must Be
Inspected Every Year
State Department Is Concerned
Over Health of Travelling Public


If YOU are going on picnic, week
end outing, or possibly a Fourth of
Jnlv trip, DR.. X. H. Riley, Director of
+be State Department of Health, calls
vour attention to the following sum-
mary of a broadcast given recently
under the auspices of the Bureau of
Sanitary Engineering, telling the why
and wherefor of Watch for the Plac-
ard" Here it is:
"When we go hiking, camping, fish
inc or enjoy any other outdoor pleas
nres, we join a large family, so to
sneak. for which such necessities as
safe drinking water, properly handled
foods and toilet facilities, must be
provided. We are so accustomed to
these things that we take it for
granted we will find them wherever
we go.
"You may be surprised to find out
that special precautions are taken by
the State Department of Health, not
only to see that such necessities are
provided, but that they are adequate
" safeguarded.
Gust use your eyes, when you start
cut on your trip, and you can tell
whether the place you are heading for
meets the Health Department require
mcnts If you are looking for a place
with safe drinking water, for a pic
mic, a quick lunch, an overnight stay
or for a cool swim in a clean, care
fully operated pool, don't stop until
you see the placard bearing the seal
of the State of Maryland showing that
the place has been duly inspected and
that it meets the sanitary require
ments.
"This placard represents permit
which must be renewed each year be-
fore the place may be opened for the
season.
"To be duly certified, each camp
must comply with prescribed regula-
tons with regard to water supply,
toilet facilities and the disposal of
sewage, garbage and other waste; the
protection of foods sold on the premi-
ses from spoilage and from contami-
nation by flies or otherwise; sources
of supply and methods of handling
milk, cream and ice cream; and the
general cleanliness of buildings and
grounds.
"And here's pointer for those who
swim: A safe swimming pool is very
difficult to maintain and requires
special engineering attention. In adj
dtion to the camp permit, separate
swimming pool permit is required
"This pool permit must also be re-
newed each year. If you want to swim
in the camp pool, make sure that the
camp has a sepcial pool permit"
