The Wilmington morning star., 1944-11-13
BY KENNETH L. DIXON

PARIS, Nov. 6.-DelayeO-(P
Right now Paris is so peaceful
that when a string of railroad
cars exploded the other day il
had the whole town in Juror re.
miniscent of a factory fire back
home in pre-war times.
In restaurants, bars, cafes,
nightclubs and military offices,
lit was the chief subject of con.
versation for days.
I took a plane ride over the site
Of exploding cars to see how seri-
GUS it was. There were a number
of cars blown up and others still
were exploding, but the incident
could be duplicated at hundreds
of places along any front without
causing unusual comment. But in
peaceful Paris, it was the talk OF
the town.
About year ago many people
considered the Allied inhabitants
of Naples "complacent" because,
while they were a part of war,
they were seldom actually in it.
They naturally carried on as much
of their normal life as possible and
gradually began to become separ-
ated from direct contact with the
front. Soon they began to live in an
entirely different world, with reg
ular hours for work, meals, sleep,
etc. It was only natural that soon
err or later they would become
''bored with the war"
But the guys along the combat
line would like nothing better than
a little of such boredom.
Naples was nothing as compar-
ed to Paris in that respect.
You see people placidly attend
ing the opera, respondent in beau
tiful uniforms. Persons who prob
ably never heard gun fire in an
ger yawn languidly over drink,
trying to decide whether or not
they should have another before
dinner. You see diplomats bring
ing families to tea, drawing their
diplomatic double rations careless
|ly, and discussing the probable po-
litical effect of this or that drive
along the front
Although this is not true of the
majority, you are forced again to
accept the realization that war
time still means that some SOL
diers and officers actually are
living better and more pleasantly
than ever before.

LONG ENOUGH

WITH THE U. s. FIRST
ARMY IN GERMANY, Nov. IL.
-(R-Hitler lost another con-
vert today when a gaunt, hag-
gard German officer stagger-
ed out Of the ruins of Aachen
to surrender to American SOL
diers garrisoned in the wreck
ed town.
This officer had believed Hit
ler's promise that the Axes
would be thrown off the soil of
the fatherland. He had waited
in hiding for more than three
weeks without food, expecting
a counter-attack would set him
free. But it never came,
'Three weeks without food is
too much, even for the fueh-
rer," he said in resigned
voice.
The officer decided he had
kept the faith long enough.

Joint Milk Inspection

Six Illinois cities find their intermunicipa]
sanitary control program is cheaper and more
effective than if single municipality attempt.
ed the program alone, the American Munich
pal Association reports
Since 1887 Glencoe, Highland Park, Kenil-
worth Lake Bluff, Lake Forest and Winnetka
have operated joint milk inspection service.
Last year 1910 farm inspections were made,
and 2,403 violations were found involving
health of cows, condition of dairy barns, milk
houses, water supplies, utensils and cleaning
and milking operations. There were 66 exclu-
sions from the milk shed used by dairy farm
in the area as a result of these inspec-
tons
Moro than two hundred inspections of 10
m Tx plants serving these six municipalities
also were made The 342 violations discovered
were as follows: physical condition of plant
an equipment, 1856; cleaning and storage of
equipment and supplies, 3d. details of pas
teurzation, So; details of bottling, 40; and
miscellaneous, nine.
Under this milk control program tests
were made on pasteurization, milk temporal
tire bacteria count butterfat and phospha-
tese tests, adulteration, etc These were made
at the plant and at the health department lab
o1atory.
In setting up the program, the Illinois cities
arranged to have the Winnetka health de-
partment do the job for all municipalities.
In the annual contract signed between Win
netka and each participating municipality,
Wnnetka agreed to perform the following
services:
Ito collect at least one sample of pas
teurized milk and cream each month from
delivery truck of each dairy delivering
milk.
2-To determine the bacterial content and
butterfat content of all samples.
8 To inspect all pasteurization plants month
ly and all farms supplying these plants at
Al least three times year.
ITO furnish monthly reports covering re-
SUITS of the inspections made.
Annual contracts with Winnetka expire on
June 80 each year. About two months in adj
vance tentative budget is prepared by the
W1nnetka health officer who supervises the
program and is submitted to each municipali
ty Representatives of the six towns attend q
conference to plan the years activities and
pass on the budget. Normally the cost has av-
eraged approximately IS cents per resident.
but increased to about 10 cents per capita dur
ing wartime.
Milk control activities are carried on bv
two sanitarians. One inspector handles farm
inspections while the other handles laboratory
work and milk plant inspection
further advantage of the joint arrange.
raent is that expenditures for laboratory eouip.
ment and supplies is reduced materially nv
eliminating Implications and cutting down
overhead.

CHAPTER TWENTY

THE RIPPLE caused by Jim
Ronald's coming to Washington
subsidized after a week
On the Saturday night Jim was
there, Vernon drove Beth out to
the Goldens, who had taken a little
house with a spare room which
they insisted that Beth occupy for
the night, and she was all too glad
to accept. The circumstances of
leaving Andrea and Jim made her
cheeks burn, and she tried not to
think Of it. She could forgive An
drea for wanting to be alone with
him, but Andrea's nervousness,
coupled with that disturbing MEM
ory about Mrs. Seccombe's apart
ment, was definitely unsettling, and
Beth wanted time to think 1t over.
She was convinced that Andrea
would not do anything improper, or
If something seemed to her not to
be improper, not to be indiscreet-
Beth knew her Andrea, but she
would rather not see her on Sun
day.
She was In bed and asleep when
Andrea came to her door after see
ing Jim off on Sunday night and,
when they met at dinner on Mon
day night, there was nothing guilty
about Andrea
She mentioned the brief episode
on Saturday afternoon, saying, II
was so surprised TO see you that I
didn't know what 1 was doing.
Eunice does want to meet you and
-wapts-me- to bring you over
one night soon. Incidentally, she
thought that If her husband gets
sent to the Pacific. she might want
me to come in with her, but told
her !. wouldn't leave you"
Beth couldn't resist saying, rs

room ?"

Andrea answered calmly. and asked
what news of Vernon.
Hes unhappy" Beth informed
her "He can't get into the service
because he has some heart silment,
but he wants to do something.
He's been trying to get Into some
work here, but II he doesn't, he's
going back to California"
HAS he proposed yet?'
