SANITATION AT
 CAMPS IMPROVED
Inspections, Cooperation Result in Higher Ratings
 Being Given

Sanitary ratings of Connecticut summer camps have greatly im- proved in reeolt years due to the cooperative efforts of camp man. agements and the continued pro- gram of routine camp inspection, declared Warren J. Scott. S.B., Di- rector of the Bureau of Sanitary Engineering, in the March issue of the Connecticut State Department of Health bulletn.
 Each camp was checked in re- gard to water supply, sewage and refuse disposal, eating and drinking facilities, sleeping quarters, milk supply, medical and nursing serv- ice and general cleanliness. Accord ing to the Connecticut Sanitary Code the management of each sum- mer camp must register annually with the health officer of the local ity in which the camp is situated The management of each organized camp must provide a safe drinking water supply and sanitary sewage and refuse disposal systems. Camps are also required to maintain sani- tary eating and drinking facilities
 For many years the Connecticut State Department of Health has reg ularly inspected summer camps ir cooperation with local health off, cers. In 1914, final figures indicated that 14,614 children and adults were being accommodated in the IA camps Inspected.
 The State Department of Health forwards copies of camp inspection reports with ratings and recommen- dations for improvements to both camp homogeneous and to loca health officers. Unsatisfactory con- ditions are followed up in coopera- tion with local health officers.

Eisenhower Reveois
But 100000 Needed

Eisenhower said today that the
100000 American troops now
in Germany would be reduced
to fixed occupation force of
about 100000 we'll before the
end of the winter.
The American commander
said the importation of food
from the United States to feed
Germans was unacceptable, but
that he did not mean he intended
10 fatten the Germans.
He said he hoped to have the
Germans elect their own off,

fall.
Eisenhower declined to predict
how long the Allied occupation
Of Germany would last, saying
This was a matter x higher gov
eminent policy, but added that
The Americans did not expect
to stay here forever.
He said the Intensity Of
Mugual Supicion among Allied
Powers in Germany was giving
way in the face of frankness
and honesty. He said his recent
trip to Russia revealed to him
many things that showed re-
markable planning for the well
fare of the masses.

was in a smiling mood. He had

20 per cent more meat. SO per

cent more butter and margarine

Canned milk becomes ration
free.
Announcing these sharp re-
auctions in red point values to-
day, Price Administrator Ches-
ter Bowles attributed them to
larger ALLEGATIONS by the Agri-
culture Department and improv-
ed distribution.
Only in the case Of fats and
oils is the situation tighter than
in August, Bowles reported.
And he added there is no indi-
cation of an early Improvement
there.
Estimating the average de-
crease in point value Of meats
at about 20 per cent, the OPA
chief said both housewives and
restaurants will be able to buy
more meat than at any time
since last March.
He asserted, however, that the
situation still does not permit
the end of meat rationing be
cause supplies continue to be
tight in many places over the
country" He would not guess
when the end might come.
