Kerr Scott'says that the State Agriculture Department is making “definite progress’’ in its efforts to prevent the sale of adul terated milk in North Carolina. Scott has'announced that a sur vey of the State’s milk supply is being conducted, and will continue for several months. However, it will be some time before a full re port on these findings can be made. Tests have been in progress for quite a while on milk offered to the public through retail outlets, to determine whether it is misla beled, said Scott. In carrying out its survey of milk conditions, Scott said that ev idence of violations would be pro vided the district solicitors in the areas affected. Commenting on the failure of the Legislature to pass the State wide Minimum Milk Bill sponsored by the N. C. Department of Health, Scott .said: “It all boils down to this: The Department of Agriculture now has the law to carry out the provisions contain ed in this act, but it doesn’t have the funds. The State Board of Health has the funds, but the Le gislature has not given it the law.” “It must be~ understood,’ he ad ded, “that in order to build up a case agginst a single violator, there must be proven in court not just one instance of mislabeling, but a series of them. It takes time to get such evidence. If we should attempt to base a case on a single instance of violation, or perhaps even two violations, the case would likely be' thrown out of court.” enlists in army Raymond Frey of Chapel Hill has been accepted for the 6th In fantry- Division, Fusan, Korea, in t£e regular army tor m period M three years, It has been announc ed by the Durham Army Recruit ing Station.
