Health Department
Praises Milk Ordinance

The milk ordinance, requiring all
milk and milk products sold in Lex
ing to be Grade A, pasteurized, has
been in effect now for two weeks,
and as far as we have been able
to determine, the objections advanc-
ed first have about disappeared.
Plenty of Grade A pasteurized
milk is available for every one.
Those of us (including myself who
did not like, at first, the flavor of
pasteurized milk are getting our
tastes adjusted, and the satisfaction
of knowing that Grade A pasteurized
milk is safe compensates for the
difference in flavor.
/ am sure that no one responsible
for the ordinance wished to hurt or
inconvenience any one. The one prime
object vas to secure a safe, whole
some milk supply for every one.
We sincerely hope that every milk
producer in this territory will soon
qualify for Grade A milk.
Raw milk is not nor has ever been
safe. 1t is true that we have been
drinking raw milk for gnerations
un-numbered and it is equally true
that we have had thousands yes
millions : of cases of bowel trouble
and other sickness in children as
the result of drinking raw milk. II
you would care to verify this state
ment ask any well informed doctor
or baby specialist if they recommend
Grade A pasteurized milk in pre-
ference to raw milk.
Pasteurization does kill undulant
fever germs and other disease pro-
kducing germs. Pasteurization does
mot change materially the food value
of milk.
It is hoped that all WIN join hands
as neighbors and friends in carrying
out the purpose of this ordinance
and thereby securing a safe and
wholesome milk for the children and
the people generally of Lexington.
