ACT NOW ABOUT MILK

> ACT NOW ABOUT MILK
ON NOVEMBER 8, I949, when we called attention to
the condition of milk sold on the streets, we knew that things
were not satisfactory, but had no idea that thew were as had
as the Milk Survey Report, would reveal SO many startling
facts. The matter is serious enough to demand immediate. At
tention both from the producers and the Government.
ATTRACTIONS WERE numerous. Proper containers are
not being used, accepted methods as laid down were NOT he
ing followed, and in many instances Food Handlers permits
had not even been applied for. But even more serious was the
report OF laboratory tests made. One producers milk showed
a film of dirt floating on the surface, others showed contami-
nation by organisms, and, says the report, All but one
showed a sediment of dirt on the bottom of the bottle {" Such
a report would Startle any advanced community, and immed-
late steps would be taken to bring about a change, and there
is no reason why the same results should not be forthcom-
ing.
BUT WHAT TO do about it? In the first place, there
are tlagrant violations of the existing laws enacted for the pro-
ductlon OF milk. This ought to be checked upon right away.
There IS no reason why a producer should violate the laws
knowing that his product is important to the health of the
public. Civic pride and responsibility should control this, even
if there were no laws. Then, too, these men who seek to get
by, or to get something for nothing, wreak havoc on the other
producers who see in their business an opportunity to serve
the public well. Of course, it is difficult and unfair that the
laws should operate for a few and not all.
THEN THERE should be permits issued to all handlers
Following this there ought to be a reasonable period during
which improvements can be made. Every producer should
review the laws, and make every effort to meet the require
mentS.
IN H MILK business as in all else, cooperation can
be found very effective. Those who produce may find it to
their advantage to get together, discuss their common prob
lens, and use their united efforts to bring about a change for
the better, and this can be done where one or two individuals
car. accomplish little. At any rate milk is a valuable and ne
