quested the county commissioners

At present the ordinance requires
that food handlers be given pre-
employment physical examination,
including blood test. These exam
nations also will include X-rays
under the proposed amendment.
DR.. Bvers also asked that the
Health Department be given au-
thoritv to examine all food handlers
'at any time it may see fit" Under

nations are given annually.
Declaring that there are approx
imately $500 food handlers in the

would be given at the various Health
Department clinics. A charge of 81
