Keeping Oysters Safe

"Seafood lovers can enjoy the
oysters that are now prominent
feature Of home and restaurant
menus with the assurance that public
health officials are making every eff
fort to protect their sanitary quality"
according to statement just made
by DR.. r. H. Riley, Director Of
Health. "Throughout the year, but
especially during the r months, the
State and County Health Depart
ments devote much time to attempts
to keep Maryland oysters safe and
wholesome by checking the purity of
waters everything the bars and by in
specting their handling, shocking and
shipment. In addition the oysters
themselves are checked both in the
shell and shucked.
Representatives of the State De-
partment of Health and local sani-
tarians in tidewater counties have CO.
operated closely with the L. S. Public
Health Service in order to enforce
strict regulations regarding oyster
waters and sanitary conditions in
packing houses. As a result of the in
tensified campaign Of recent years,
Maryland oysters have received a
higher sanitary rating from the
Public Health Service and should be
safer than ever.
"Since oysters grown in polluted
waters are usually contaminated and
unfit for human consumption, the
Bureau of Sanitary Engineering has
been greatly concerned with prevent
ing the discharge of sewage and in
dustrial wastes in oyster-producing
waters. During the last season sever
al thousand samples Of waters over
lying oyster bars were obtained.
There have been many detailed sur
veys Of the sewerage facilities of
shore properties bordering upon oy-
stcr areas and many corrections of
conditions causing pollution in these
waters. The bureau has also led an
active campaign to enlist the cooper
alton Of yachtsmen to prevent the
discharge of sewage from small
pleasure boats in waters adjacent to
oyster bars.
"Members of this Departments
Bureau of Food and Drugs, as well
as local health officers and sanitari-
ans, have made numerous inspections
of oyster houses. They have tried,
usually with success, to obtain the
willing cooperation Of packers in
maintaining satisfactory sanitary
conditions and they made concerted
effort to obtain necessary corrections
of unsatisfactory conditions before

public health laboratories have
made am important contribution to-

The Bureau Of Chemistry also exam

is every likelihood that the Maryland
