Benoit “Bellefonte, Pa., September 1, 1922. THEN AND NOW. ‘When Washington was President, As cold as any icicle, He never on a railroad went, And never rode a bycicle. He read by no electric lamp, Nor heard about the Yellow Stone; He never licked a postage stamp, And never saw a telephone. His trousers ended at the knees; By wire he could not send dispatch; He filled his lamp with whale-oil grease, And never had a match to scratch. But in these days it's come to pass, All work is with such dashing done— We've all those things; but then, alas— We seem to have no Washington. —Robert J. Burdette. FOOD HANDLERS AT COUNTY FAIRS TO BE INSPECTED BY HEALTH OFFICERS. Orders are issued by the State Health Department through the Di- vision of Restaurant Hygiene, to have all persons engaged in the preparation or handling of food at county fairs undergo the required physical exam- ination and furnish to health officers a certificate stating that they are free from the diseases mentioned in Act of Assembly No. 169, part of which reads as follows: “Every person before operating or being permitted to work at a public eating or drinking place shall obtain a certificate from a reputable register- ed doctor of medicine, certifying that such person is free from trachoma, active tuberculosis of the lungs, open skin tuberculosis, syphilis, gonorrhea, open external cancer or barber’s itch and are not typhoid carriers. These certificates must be filed with the proper health authorities within five days of date of examination and are valid for a period of six months, but may be revoked at any time prior to this if the condition of such person warrants it.” Forms 961, for this purpose, will be forwarded from the Department of Health to the secretary of each fair ten days before the opening, and can be secured from him when application is made to conduct refreshment stands. Food handlers may also make applica- tion direct to the Department for forms 961. This will save time and trouble as excuses will not be accepted by the health officer when inspection is made. A health officer has been as- signed to each fair to collect these certificates and see that other health laws are being obeyed. Mr. John M. DeLaney, chief of the Division of Restaurant Hygiene, calls attention to the fact that hot water and soap must be used in the cleans- ing of table linen, towels, cooking, eating and drinking utensils. He said, “The roller towel and common drink- ing cup will not be allowed. Two million people attended fairs in Penn- sylvania last summer and many re- freshment stand proprietors furnished paper cups, straws, plates and nap- kins for patrons who appreciate san- itary service. There have been nu- merous infections with communicable disease by the use of improperly cleansed eating and drinking uten- sils. “Handling of garbage and other refuse at the fair grounds will be un- der health officer supervision; manure must be removed from the grounds each day and disposed of in a satis- factory manner.” All fair grounds in the State have been inspected by the Department of Health and notices sent to fair offi- cials regarding adequate toilet facili- ties. In every case the officials agreed ‘to make the required changes and im- provements, but if this has not been done before the opening of the fair, prosecution will be started in order to get results. Water supplies also got the once- over from the department, and cor- rections made when necessary. 72 fairs, including 2301 refreshment stands were covered by the instructors last summer, and this year 82 will be visited. Several persons were refus- ed certificates and a few stands clos- ed, but on the whole splendid co-oper- ation was given by the fair officials and the food handlers themselves. Mr. Delaney says the public could help in securing their own protection against disease by refusing to patronize stands that are not clean and where proper methods of washing dishes are not used. SE ————— ef ——— State Plans Tree Cutting for Fuel. le " Harrisburg, Pa.—The State Forest “Commissian has taken steps to facili- “tate cutting of timber for fuel in state forests, there being a large : amount of chestnut timber affected by ‘the blight which is available. Tracts in Tioga, Monroe and other «counties, damaged by fire or over- ‘mature, were also ordered cut. Plans were also made by the Com- mission to have patients at the Cres- son State sanitorium act as fire out- looks at the Cresson fire station. The men will be put on short shifts as a means of helping their condition. An auxiliary reserve of 6654 acres was created in McKean county, and the medallion and bust for the Beth- rock memorial were approved. P———————e Penn State Conducts Man and Woman Hunt. Using two-cent stamps instead of blood-hounds, The Pennsylvania State College alumni office has begun a man and woman hunt that is unique in the annals of the college. Instead of an endeavor to locate lost graduates of Penn State, this hunt is to get on the trail of all former students who never did qualify for their diplomas. From 1859 to the present time, a total of more than 5,000 men and women en- tered and then dropped out of college before completing their course. They are all eligible to membership in the alumni association once they are lo- cate. At least a dozen Civil war vet- erans are included in the list. RAILWAY DISPELS ALASKAN GLAMOUR. Anchorage.—“All aboard, through rain for the interior,” thus sings out the white-coated porter standing with step in hand at the rear of the “Sour- dough” limited. A glance along the train shows it made up of express and baggage car, day coach, Pullman sleeper and an observation chair car. It seems incongruous that this equipment is. ready to dash through the heart of Alaska and bring up on the banks of the Tanana river, that mighty stream whose mere name con- jured up visions of argonauts, dog teams, myriads of caribou and the old days when only strong men reach- ed the Tanana. On July 13th the through freight took the place of the mixed train op- erated heretofore, and a regular bi- weekly passenger and freight service has been installed. OLD WAY WAS ROUGH. Travelers recall a trip over this route two years ago. It entailed a mixed train and began to crawl along as it entered the Broad Pass country, where operation extended almost to the last rail laid. Then came the horse-drawn sleigh or or dog team to the next roadhouse at Summit, a bleak desolate spot in winter, hemmed in by icy mountains and swept by wintry blasts. Over night at the crude road- house and the trip was continued to Nenana, on the banks of the Tanana, down a dangerous canyon where the dog sled clung to the beetling cliffs by the teeth of the brake. Maybe it was 40 degrees below zero and only the hardy of those compelled to take the trip braved it. Today this same country is unfold- ed in scenic grandeur from the win- dow of the Pullman or the rear plat- form of the observation parlor car, or mayhap while the traveler dines in the buffet car ahead. The bleak, icy mountains are bathed in mysterious light. Little rivulets rush down from the mountains to join the noble Sus- itna, carrying its turbulent flood into Cook inlet. The system of crossing the Tanana in winter on rails laid upon the ice soon will be supplanted by a 700-foot single steel span bridge, with ap- proaches well above the flood of the stream; the narrow-guage Tanana valley “dinkey” line will retreat be- fore the oncoming of the mogul en- gine and its serpentlike string of mod- ern equipment. CHANGE SUDDEN AND COMPLETE. “Fairbanks,” shouts the porter, and old Alaska has vanished; the great land of mystery along the Yukon be- comes but a banal echo of something that has been, but is no more. The change has been so sudden and so complete that the old-timers are finding it hard to readjust their lives to the new conditions. The railroad has wiped away the dog team as a means of transport to the interior, the horse-drawn sleigh over the Rich- ardson highway, from Valdez, is but a tourist adventure; automobiles take the place of the stage in summer and the railroad now serves a country ex- tending to Nome on the northwest and the Arctic slope to the north, down the Tanana from Fairbanks to the Yukon, and up the Yukon to Dawson —a veritable adventure for the tour- ist who has absorbed the romance of the days of "98. The old-timer says the Dawson days will come again; when, he is un- able to state; but the lure of = the “shovel-in” ground beckons, and as the railroad threaded north the pros- pector broke new trails. What the future holds for the dreamer is as problematic as the first venture into the forbidding country that has so suddenly been transformed into a re- gion wherein the most delicate may live and prosper. en —————— ee —— Real Estate Transfers.
