Restaurants To Get
Closer Inspection

A more rigid and uniform en-
forcement of the system under
which all eating and drinking es-
tablishments in the state are grad
ed can be expected in the future,
according to DR.. J. P. Ward, state
director of health. The decision
was the result of seminar held
this month in Phoenix by city,
county and state sanitarians from
all over Arizona.
"Although limited personnel still
prohibits strict supervision" DR..
Ward said, decisions on policy and
action reached at the m t n G
should aid us in giving AriZonans
better projections. We aim to as
sure the public that when an es-
tablishment carries a grade A card
that the food handling in that
place of business sof grade A
quality"
It was decided at the seminar
that the eating and drinking code
applies to guest ranches, clubs,
lodges and school cafeterias as we'll
as establishments now inspected
under the grading plan. Public
buffet suppers and other functions
of a public nature where food is
served will come under more care
full scrutiny.
All establishments in the state
where food and drink are served
will be required to obtain a per-
NIT in the future as we'll as grade
rating, the sanitarians decided. This
will serve, primarily, for registra-
ton purposes.
Improper protection given by
some merchants in the handling of
paper service in which food is to
be served and the use of COM
mercial cans for cooking and stor-
ing foods, the practice of serving
milk to more than one customer
from an individual container and
the frequent practice of storing ice
cream dippers in wells which do
not contain running water are
among problems which will receive
the attention of sanitarians during
their inspection tours.
o. v. Cooper, senior state sani-
tartan, was in charge of the meet
ing Id speakers included DR..
Ward, DR.. H. G. Crecelius, director
of the state division of laboratories,
and a representative from the
state attorney generals office who
supplied legal Interpretation of the
