Apparent Peak Reached
In support of their position. en-
ployers contend the lumber indus

precludes justification of wage in

that the master agreement pro-
vides specifically that wage ad-
justments whether UP or down

Refusal of Patrons to Visit Insantary Eating Drink.
 ing Places Brings About Changes, Director Says

food. MT. Scott explained that the greatest public health danger Is the possible spread of intestinal types of disease caused by typhoid or food poisoning organisms. On the basis of actual results and cost, public health protective measures favor the education of food handlers rather than compulsory examinations of employees at public expense, Even though all food handlers may be examined periodically there Is the possibility of infection between ex- aminations. Also, discharges from disease carriers may show danger ous bacteria only intermittently.
 Instructions
 Periodic courses of instruction on the clean service of food have been arranged for food handlers In some communities by the local health of- ficer, according to MT Scott. Stress is laid on proper personal hygiene, such as washing of hands after use of the toilet. The accomplishments of disinfection of eating and drink ing equipment are explained: the importance of protection and proper storage of food is emphasized; the possibilities of spread of disease by careless food handling are cited; and the basic features of good maintenance for eating and drink ing places are covered.
 A common fault with many reS- taurants Is failure to use plenty of soap, water and "elbow grease" to clean up floors, serving counters, tables, cooking utensils, refrigerators and other appurtenances, MT, Scott states. Another frequent failing Is lack of proper maintenance of toilets. Unclean toilet facilities arc a poor lad" for any restaurant. To shift the blame on the public, even though such censure may be in part deserved, Is no excuse for the owner.
