A. Holmquist, director of the Division of sanitation of the de- partment. To carry out this intensive cam- paign, which will parallel the one carried on during the World War in army camp areas, 14 trained sanitary engineers started inspec- tions Monday in the counties of Essex, Jefferson, St Lawrence, Clinton, Lewis and Franklin. This force will augment the present engineering and medical staffs of the department already in the field. They will inspect every tourist camp and home, cabin re- sort, trailer camp, small and large hotel, restaurant, roadside stand, public comfort station, and other similar places in the area. While the maneuvers of the army will not actually begin until August 3, the sanitation division will carry out advance work to make sure that all places likely to be visited by either soldiers or civilians will live up to standards of adequate sanitation and require- ments for safe water and milk supplies, clean and sanitary toil«t and sewage disposal facilities, proper food handling and storage, and effective washing and disin- fecting of all eating and cooking atensils. \It is expected that special problems will be created by the presence of large numbers of troops, visitors and camp follow- ers within and adjacent to the area of maneuvers,\ Mr. Holm- quist said. \Our main concern will be with sanitation within and ad- jacent to the area to provide pro- tection for soldiers and visitors to the area against the hazards of unsafe water supplies, unsafe milk, unsanitary toilets, and careless dispensing of food and drink. We are not only concerned with the roadside stands, restaurants, and other places where soldiers may visit, but also with those places where visitors may stop over night. \Our policy is to maintain close sanitary control over all eating and drinking establishments and places where persons will be pro- vided with room accommodations. We will investigate water supplies ORCHESTRA AT CAMP UNDERCLffF HEARD IN FIRST CONCERT SUNDAY has filled the pulpit for three years.

A cordial invitation is extended to the public to attend. and secure the discontinuance or immediate correction of those which are not safe. The main- tenance of toilets in a clean san- itary condition and the elimina- tion of nuisances will be enforced. \Our engineers will investigate milk and milk storage and hand- ling facilities on the premises and an attempt will be made to secure the exclusive dispensing of pas- teurized milk and discontnuance of the sale of raw milk. \Our program will also include the investigation of food and drink dispensing facilities on. the premises and will cover the ar- rangements for washing and dis- infection of eating utensils and glassware. Food dispensers will be required to have all their wares on display, protected against flies and dust. \In roadside stands and similar establishments where dish-washing facilities are unsatisfactory, the use of individual service contain- ers such as paper cups as well as the use of paper plates, wooden spoons, forks, etc., will be re- quired.\ BANDED BIRD FROM RUSSIA TAKEN IN NEWFOUNDLAND What is believed to be the first North American record of a band- ed bird from Russia has been fur- nished the Canadian Government through the co-operation of St. John's, Newfoundland.
