Checked Busy Kitchen
The doctors made "unan-
nounced visits to these eating
places between 1870 and 2.15
pm. when kitchen actively was
lat its highest. Swabs for bac-
Neurological examination were
taken Of cutlery, crockery and
cooking utensils. and samples Of
|dishwater and dish towels were
collected.
"Of the 10 kitchens belonging
to reputedly high-class restau-
rants. the sanitation was UNI
satisfactory In three and the
|dishwater was sufficiently hot in
only FIVE: of the 80 restaurants
LOT good everyday type. the sani-
|tation was poor in 10 and wash
ling facilities inadequate in 10.
Toilet facilities were also made
quate for the staff In many
kitchens and the usual method
of drying the hands was with

We see, therefore, that our
friend. travelling In Scotland
would not be better on in a
high-class restaurant than in q
good restaurant Of the very-day
type" In each group, he would
stand a 80 per cent chance OF
Iencountering sanitation.
Not Knewn Here
I suppose, what's true in Scot
land Is not unknown In our own
American restaurants. We have
laws and health codes that are
Icircumvented here, too. In other
words. when you eat out, you
take your chances. It's all a
matter Of confidence. Hoping
that the place is clean.
Like going up on a plane with
out even knowing the qualifica-
tons of the pilot. Or getting
into train and hoping that
the elderly engineers heart and
|eyesight are all right.
I guess we live by confidence
more than we realize. We can't
ask the waitress If she has lately
been x-rayed for tuberculosis.
Neither can we ask the dish
washer If he has q negative
Wasserman test.
AS for me, I'll continue to
Ipatronize restaurants. All I can
hope for is that the local health
authorities are doing an efficient
Job In keeping restaurant: own

food, sanitary kitchens and
clean service, eating out can be

living.

toyed with the same idea. It was
a favorite hypothesis of Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle. Various
possible physical explanations
had been offered such as waves
of some sort emanating from
the brain. perhaps even an ex-
tension Of the radiation spec
trum. Others thought waves of
some sort might come from the
cards themselves.
But no such waves ever have
been isolated. Today there is no
place for them in nature. Even
If they existed. it is assumed.
they would obey the laws of
physics. The phenomena de-
scribed by DR.. Rhine did not.
The more he investigated the
clearer it became that they in
no way conformed to the other
wise universal inverse square law
for all forms of energy-that is
attenuation with distance.
No Concentration Best
Shortly afterwards it was
found that subjects actually did
better when there was no con-
centration on the part Of the
investigator, or on their own
part. Trying apparently defeated
its own purpose. Subjects then
were instructed not to think
just to leave their minds open,
The whole process had to be
subconsciouS.
Now the whole telepathy idea
may be on its way out. Rhine
himself is inclined to question it.
Some Of his associates still cling
to It. It seems quite impossible
with present techniques, DR..
Rhine says, to tell whether cards
are being read by telepathy or
precognition. Assuming that I
am highly endowed with psi, do
I read the mind of my opponent
In poker game who knows what
cards he holds. or do read the
cards themselves? DR.. Rhine now
talks Of general extrasensory
perception" which includes both
processes and doesn't distinguish
between them. It is possible, DR..
Mangan says, to devise a card
reading experiment which almost
excludes the possibility Of clair
voyance, but it is extremely diff
f1cult and laborious.
Telepathy, however, may be
demonstrated by having a sub
ject tell Of something which
exists only in the mind of the
experimenter and has no physi-
cal existence as such-now. in
the past, or in the future.
