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considerably out of date because of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

For most of these, including cotton,
the law directs the Secretary to pro-1
claim quotas when the supply of the
commodity reaches a specified level.
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

are (1) increased export demand, (2)1
national emergency, or (3) in order
