new Model 40J burner, including a new primary control in just

Several members of the Penn
State Staff are going to other
states to obtain more in

other states have something
similar in mind. All of the data

will be computerized in an at
tempt to get answers. The work is
now being done at one plant but it
may be understood that others
can benefit from such a service,
if necessary.
President Eugene Bailey at
tempted to bring the group up to
date on happenings. Teams are
gathering information on ac
ceptable quality level. On solid
waste disposal, the industry is
waiting to be alerted as
promised. If any one hears
anything he should notify the
Association. Every operator
must watch the matter of sewage
disposal.
Office of safety and health act
is making progress in their noise
control inspections. In some
instances the most serious sounds
are almost impossible to control.
One plant was cited but later was
withdrawn. There is a five
member committee keeping
close contact with the situation
and they will get outside help if
necessary. An attempt is being
made to get variance in order to
secure answers for licking the
sound situation. There are some
things that have been done which
help. Anyone having any ideas
should pass them on to other
members.
Caution should be exercised
when making changes to be
certain the inspection service
approves. Plants can check on
the use of ear muffs or plugs, but
when choosing plugs-choose the
best to avoid ear infection. One
stated that Swedish wool was the
best because it is effective and is
used once then thrown away. The
group emphasized the fact that
O.S.H.A. and U.S.D.A. work
together to come with fully ac
ceptable improvements. Some
members have surveyed their
situation and are convinced that
results can be attained, but at an
almost prohibitive expense.

were present to explain the new
inspection regulations.
Dr. McNay indicated that there
is pressure on their organization
because as of Monday, July 17,
there are 570 meat plants to be
taken over in Pennsylvania. They
anticipate they will have to send
250 inspectors into Pa. from other
states. Poultry plants in Pa. need
not fear that their services will be
endangered or interrupted.
