SECTION ONE- Adequate Supply of Pas teurized Milk Avail able In District The District Board of Health in its recent meeting was asked te adopt the 1963 “Milk Ordinance and Code” as recommended by the United States Public Health Service. This is the same ordinance recommended for counties and health districts through out the State. The Pasquotank»Cam den-Chowan Health District now op erates under the 1939 edition of this code. The existing regulations are now considerably out of date because of the many developments in milk tech nology and sanitation since the adop tion of the present regulations. Ac cordingly, all local health departments are urged to bring their milk sanita tion regulations up to date. The 1953 regulations are recommended for adoption in the interest of uniformity; the adoption of the same regulations by all local boards of health will avoid conflicts and misunderstandings. These regulations are in no way de signed to work a hardship on pro ducer, plant or distributor. These changes have been thoroughly discus sed in district meetings held by milk specialists from the State Board of Health with local sanitarians. Apparently the most imoortant question is: What grade of milk shall be offered for sale in the health dis trict ? Whether it be pasteurized pro ducts only, or whether raw milk also shall be permitted to be offered for sale. The State Board of Health has recommended for many years the use of pasteurized milk. A large percent age of market milk sold in North Carolina is now pasteurized. “We are of the opinion there is an adequate supply of pasteurized milk available throughout this health district,” says Dr. B. B. McGuire, health officer. If the revised ordinance and code is adopted and sale of raw milk is for bidden, this section of ordinance ' would extend a time limit of at least six months or more for the few per sons now selling raw milk to either comply with grade “A” requirements or discontinue sale of milk. The Health Department asks inter ested persons to feel free to contact ' the Health Department officials either in person or by letter regarding sale of raw milk. In order to legally sell grade “C” raw milk, present requirements re quire that: This milk shall be bottled ind labeled grade “C” raw milk, and i NOTICE— • Town Vehicle License Plates are ] now on sale at the Town Office.

However, for peanuts, he must pro-| claim a national marketing quota each year regardless of the supply, al though the quotas may not be put into effect unless at least two-thirds of the growers voting approve their use in a referendum. The vote is on quo tas for the following three crops. ’ Under certain conditions, however, the Secretary has authority to termi nate marketing quotas for one or more of the years if such action be comes ~ necessary. These conditions are (1) increased export demand, (2)1 national emergency, or (3) in order to make available a normal supply I SAT, SAM-TH4T was W| | APCACMRttIO I MWfi YOU HAP OUT THE COUNTRY CC - >1 Yesterday ■PTr^P^Bi , • . - . • -rr;; THE CHOWAN HERALD, E3DENTON, N.
