F-S147 NUMBER 126 WW Large Drop In Demand Caused Defect Temporary Condition Quickly Cleared Up By Madison Wright . Complaints made this weekend by fraternities, dormitories, and dining halls in regard to sour milk were answered yesterday by Dr. William Richardson, local health officer, during an investi gation of 2he situation by the Daily Tar Heel. Protesting over the supply of sour milk after the health office had promised to secure a better grade than that recently re placed, the organizations de manded an explanation from the authorities. Richardson The offending milk, Richard son stated, had a bacteria count of only 4,000, well under the "A" requirements of not more than 30,000. For this reason the sour ness was not detected before the milk was distributed. v "This is the only complaint we have had so far,4" Richardson said, "and we do not expect to have it happen again." "He be lieves that the spoilage was caus ed by heat-resistant bacteria, which sometimes affects milk even after it has been thoroughly pasteurized. uurmg university examina tion week some sourness was no ticed, Richardson said, but this was as a result of decreased con sumption and over-ordering which allowed the milk to accu mulate. It arrives in Chapel Hill about two days after milking and is distributed promptly. North Carolina Milk "If it arrives at receiving points today it is pasteurized to night and delivered tomorrow," the health officer declared, add ing that all this milk is produced in central North Carolina and usually gets to the consumer as swiftly as the local "A" grade. The milk is inspected every day at Winston-Salem and twice a week here in Chapel Hill. Many Organizations To Be Represented ropean nation," win oe one oi the most interesting of the books displayed.
