Cooks Union Orders
Health Examinations
For 5000 in District
Owners and Managers
Of Eating Places Asked
To Arrange Appointment!

Another step to improve health
conditions in the District was taken
yesterday when Leighton Williams,
business agent of the local branch
of the Cooks, Pastry Cooks and
Kitchen Employees Union, ordered
the 5000 union members to take
physical examinations.
He said today that of the total
number Of union workers in the in
dustry about 40 per cent directly
handle food in the local restaurants,
cafes, hotels and night clubs.
The order came after it had been
reported that OF all the workers,
union and nonunion, about $500
had some form of venereal disease.
Mr.. Williams pointed out that Of
the thousands working in the in
dustry, which has been declared es-
sential to the war effort, many are
In the AT draft classification.
Many OF those rejected took up
work in our industry when they
could not get into the armed
forces" he added He said it was
only natural that some Of them had
venereal disease.
He recommended that owners and
managers of eating places having
contracts with the union immedi-
ately arrange for physical examina-
lions of their employees. Reports of
discovery of venereal disease should
be made to the District Bureau of
Venereal Disease, which is headed
W DR.. F. G. Gillick, he said, and
added there should be cooperation
on an educational and treatment
basis by the bureau.
Information as to the percentage
OF those rejected because of the
disease is not tabulated at selective
service headquarters here.
Mr.. Williams contended that dan
ger of transmitting venereal disease
through food handlers is negligible.

Curb in Wastaqe
Of Ice Urged TO
Meet Crisis
3-Point Program
Recommended After
Rutland Conference

Stoppage Of waste and unneces-
sary use of ice is the only hope OF
meeting Washingtons newest short
age, Health Officer George E. Rub
land has concluded after a review
of the problem with ice manufac-
turers, hotel and restaurant execu-
tives.
DR.. Rutland was advised the de-
mand for ice in Washington today
is 40 per cent above production and
the conference group concluded at
the end of a lengthy session yester-
day afternoon that every posi-
bility of stepping up production has
been tapped"
Recommendations agreed to by
the group were:
I'm this ice crisis, first con-
sideration should be given food pres
ervation both in the home and the
commercial industries, and that hos
pital needs should be met, by all
means.
Frowns on Ice in Water.
"2-Considerable saving could be
made if the public would not insist
on using ice in water, especially If II
is already cooled, and no unneces-
sary ice should be used by any one
Stop waste. Ice should not
be allowed to stand around for an
unnecessary time and should be
properly stored and protected from
sun and hot kitchens"
One of the conclusions reached by
the groups was that about 80 pei
cent Of Washington's ice is wasted
1t was found also that at no time
in previous years has it been pos
sible to produce in the summer
months enough ice to meet Wash
ington's summer demand, the prac-
tice being for producers to store ur
reserves to carry over the peak pc
Rod. Washington's ice manufac-
turers, the group was told, stored
about $4,000 tons last winter, more
than ever before" but it was added
this reserve is nearing depletion
Better Than Most Cities.
Current production of ice was said
to be at its maximum and the Wash
ington situation, though regarded as
amounting to a crisis" was found
better than that of any large city
except New York.
1t was reported that 100 to 12s
tons of ice day are used by the
Army and Navy, or 10 to IL per cent
of the total daily production here
Robert j. Wilson, executive Sec
rotary of the Washington Restau-
rant Association, said there was EN-
tirely too much" ice wasted in res.
taurants because careless employees
let ice stand in the sun or exposed
to kitchen heat. He urged restau-
rant and hotel operators to insist
on proper ice storage and because OF
shortage of ice bags to have them
handled and returned promptly.
