DON'T FORGET

With the fruit season at its height
and the markets, stores and road
side stands offering tempting arrays
of every variety of fruit and vege-
tables, here are some important
Don't Forgets" from DR.. r. H. Ril-
ey, Director of the State Department
of Health:
Number One is addressed espec-
tally to housewives, cooks and all
others who handle or serve foods.
1t is Wash all fruits and vegetables
thoroughly before you serve them"
Number Two is addressed more
particularly to mothers and to mana
gers of school cafeterias. It gives
similar advice about washing the
fruit served in school lunch rooms
or packed in the ehildren's lunch
kits brought from home.
In explanation Of his reminders,
DR.. Riley said:
THE fruits and vegetables that
are SO abundant, now, and that are
SO invitingly displayed all the year
round in our Maryland markets, go
through great deal Of handling be-
fore they recah us. There is always
chance, too, that they will retain
some traces of the poisonous spray
that is used to protect the growing
crops from insects pests. Careful
washing will not only remove dirt
or soil acquired in handling but will
get rid of what may remain of the
poison spray.
The custom of spraying growing
fruits and vegetables with poisonous
chemicals is very general in every
part of the country. The spray usual
ly contains lead or arsenic. Much of
the poison is washed of In the sum-
mer rains, but there is always a pos
sibility that some trace of it will be
left on the mature fruit or vegetable.
Thorough washing before cooking,
or serving raw, is a necessary pre-
caution. This should be remembered
in connection with lettuce, cabbage
and other vegetables that are served
raw, as well as in connection with
fruits.
Cooperative services are MAIN
tanned by the State Department of
Health and the Extension Service of
the University of Maryland to pre-
vent the marketing Of fruits or vege-
tables containing a dangerous
amount Of the poison. Further pro-
lection is afforded by the services of
the Federal Food and Drug Admin
istration with regard to fruits and
vegetables grown outside the State.
Samples of Maryland-grown
fruits are collected from represen-
tatives orchards by the Inspection
Service of the University before the
fruit is harvested, are brought to the
chemical laboratories of the State
Department Of Health to be tested
for the presence of left over lead or
arsenic or other poisonous substance
es. If excess spray residue is found,
the shippers or growers are notified
that the fruits must be washed or
treated otherwise before it may be
put on the market.
THE growers are very cooperative
and have worked closely with the
Department. But it is always safets
to wash both fruits and vegetables
before you use them"

"They Can't Do That"
AS the District youths filed from
the shining metal tables, emptied of
the corned beef hash, potatoes, soup,
coffee and bread and butter which
had been placed before them less
than Is minutes before, the mess
sergeant began muttering almost
despairingly and appeared ready to
chew the back of a chair. A selectee
had "ducked' cigarette on the
bright, clean floor.
They won't get away with stuff
like that after they've been around
long enough to get into the swing
of things" one officer said, smiling
at the sergeant's angry gestures.
The men later were issued mat
tresses, pillows. sheets, blankets and
pillowcases before being directed to
their bunks-steel cots in two large
rooms with other selectees from Bal
timore and several Pennsylvania
cities. They have been quartered
in modern brick, centrally heated
buildings vacated by Regular Army
enlisted men several days ago to
make room for the newcomers.
The arrival of additional selectees
today from Pennsylvania advanced
the number of one-year men already
at the post here to TIT, including
119 men who had been on duty
with the Army in Hawaii for the
past two years but had been made
part of the selective service troops
on their return to the States. They
are being classified and put through
the same routine as the raw recruits.
Send-offs Cause Delays.
Late departure of the Districts
vanguard of selectees last night was
declared due to the newness of the
induction organization and the rou-
Undertaking influence of the for
NAL send-off ceremonies.
Four of the 80 selectees originally
scheduled for induction on the first
day were held over for additional
physical tests, while a fifth had
failed to present a signed letter
from his wife releasing him for mill
tary duty.
Medical officers at the induction
station emphasized that there had
been no reflections for physical rea-
sons last night, and it was under
stood that the four men who were
held back for additional tests prob
ably would be passed today, enabling
them to make the trip to Fort Meade
along with 10 other District selec-
tees, 81 men from Maryland and 16
from Virginia who were scheduled
for the second days induction.
According to Army suggestion one
of the selectees was designated to
take charge of the men from the
time they pulled from Union Sta
tion until they were met at the
train at a railroad junction about a
mile from this Army post. Joseph
/. Fox, $50 F street NE, was so des-
ignated. Mr.. Fox, %, formerly was
