require operators of such establish
ments to have a permit from the
State Board of Health. No permit to
operate shall be issued until a sani
tary inspection by a representative of
the State Board of Health shows that
such establishment complies with
these rules and regulations. Appli
-1 cations for such inspections shall be
made to the local Health Departments.
Permits also being issued by local
Health Department.
It has been the practice in past
, years for grocery stores, gas stations,
i etc., to offer for sale sausage, bologna,
I franks, etc., without meeting the mar
, ket requirements set up by State
Board of Health. However, under
present rules and regulations such
. establishments shall meet meat mar
ket requirements, unless these meat
products are offered for sale in cello
phane package or similar package
’ form. Then the most important item
, of sanitation is adequate refrigera
tion.

1 Special Holiday Care
' Human nature and two long holi
' day week-ends this month could team
■ up .to bring a dim Christmas and an
' unhealthy New Year for many young
p animals on the nation’s farms, vet
erinarians are warning.
i
I In a timely bulletin, the American
. Veterinary Medical Association urges
. owners to take time out from holiday
> celebrations to see that their calves
, as well as other livestock are housed
i so as to prevent chilling and fed on
r regular schedule.
* “Neglect of animals and irregular
feeding, particularly during holiday
\ festivities, account for many cases of
j digestive disturbance in livestock,”
[ the association said.
• “It is a safe prediction that the
Monday mornings after Christmas
s and New Year will bring a sharp
’ upswing in cases of scours and dys
■ pepsia in calves and pigs—unless
, owners take necessary precautions,”
; the report declared.
, Another warning note was added,
for both farm and urban owners, with
regard to overfeeding the family
t pup. “Dogs are quick to absorb the
[ holiday spirit, especially when it
[ comes to eating. If permitted, many
I of them will ‘eat themselves sick’ on
I the abnormally rich left-overs of a
[ holiday dinner.”
