HEALTH Dept
WARNS ON FOOD

With an eye on the rising tenn
peratures DR.. Roy K. Evans, Otta-
wa County Health Commissioner,
urged the public and eating place
operators to cooperate in making
this summer free of food poison
ing.
He cited instances in other areas
of the state in which spoiled food
resulted in serious sickness.
Warm weather." he explained
increases the activity of certain
germs-germs which may spoil
food"
He said Health Department Sani-
tarians regularly inspect local eat
ing places for cleanliness and good
sanitary practices. The sanitarians
have may widely scattered eating
places to cover, making several in
spections annually. Generally their
duties center around education,
rather than "policework."
The Health Commissioner urged
eating place operators to follow
sanitarians' suggestions on refrig-
Grafton, food handling, dishwash-
ing, care of surroundings and rest
room facilities. In addition he set
forth these "rules of the thumb"
for the customers.
Refuse uneIean dishes or uten-
sils.
Don't accept cracked dishes or
cups; the cracks may harbor
germs. Insist that all eating uten-
sils be protected from the flies
and dust prevalent in summer.
Accept only cream pasteries
which have been refrigerated.
That goes for any season.
Insist that food handlers do not
handle utensils by eating ends, nor
touch ready to eat foods such as
doughnuts.

he reads and reports on satisfac-
torily to one of the librarians.

have been ordered now and are
